Custom White Gate

A Philadelphia Mainline Architect was designing a renovation and addition for a classic property. As part of the property upgrade, the client wanted a front gate that emphasized the character of the property and provided privacy and controlled access. As part of the package, they wanted a custom driveway gate design with the automatic gate openers.

The client and design team agreed that a simulated wood gate, built in aircraft grade aluminum would provide authenticity and long term value. And with the faux wrought Iron strap hinges, the gates were stunning, and completely maintenance free.

Our “Million Dollar”, Heavy duty driveway gate hinge was utilized for minimum maintenance, hassle and downtime, to provide the best in client value. The automatic gate openers were provided with the ability to handle 1750 lb gates. And with the gate openers being underground they provided better automation features plus great aesthetics as there were no unsightly arms on the driveway gates. And the entire keypad and access control system was installed utilizing the latest in wireless communication, link into their smart home communication platform. Complete with a custom terrace railing and stair railing, this property in southeastern PA has architectural aspirations that both inspire and protect.

As the owner of an exclusive property, we were looking for custom ironworks replicated from England in the 1860s. The photo we had was sketchy, but these passionate craftsmen knew their business, knew the details of this ancient craft and provided tips on adding authenticity. They provided excellent communication throughout the creativity and design process, then with superb, detailed craftsmanship, they created and installed an exceptional piece of ironwork that is rich in detail, authentic, yet is engineered to withstand use for decades, utilizing 100% recycled material and an eco-friendly durable finish.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

We had a rather unusual design for our front railings, but the folks at Compass Ironworks took it in stride, figured out how to make it and delivered EXACTLY what we were hoping for — all at a reasonable price. Plus they’re just plain nice to deal with.
