Walk Gates

Iron Walk Gates for Side Yards, Garden Paths and Pedestrian Entrances

Custom pedestrian gates that latch right, swing smoothly and match the rest of your ironwork.

A walk gate is small, but you use it all the time. It lets you reach the side yard, take the garden path or step out to the street without opening the big gate. A good one closes on its own, latches every time and never drags.

We build walk gates to match your driveway gate or fence, or to stand on their own as a feature. Each custom gate is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership, which covers your first 2 years of care.

What's included

What Your Walk Gates Estimate Covers

We assess your property on site and give you a clear quote, so you know the work before we start.

  • Gate sized to the opening

    We measure the actual opening and build the gate to fit, so there are no awkward gaps.

  • Matching ironwork

    The design can echo your driveway gate, your fence or your home so everything reads as one plan.

  • Hinges and latch planned in

    We choose hardware for how the gate will be used, whether it is a quiet garden path or a busy side entrance.

  • Secure posts

    The posts are set to carry the gate and keep it swinging true.

  • Optional opener or access control

    If you want a pedestrian gate that opens with a button or a keypad, we plan it with the rest of the gate system to UL325 standards.

  • Magnolia Service Membership

    2 years of preventative maintenance, LiftMaster opener protection, an annual paint touch-up and front-of-the-line scheduling.

Our process

How Your Walk Gates Project Gets Built, Step by Step

Walk gate styles and how each one is used

A walk gate has a different job than a drive gate. These are the choices that shape it.

A paired walk gate shares the look of the driveway gate and keeps a single style across the property. A standalone one can have its own character.

A simple latch is enough for a garden or side yard. A keypad or button makes sense where you want to control who comes in.

Open ironwork lets you see through and feels light. A fuller design gives more privacy to the yard behind it.

A ready-made gate comes in set sizes. A custom gate is made for your opening, so it hangs level and looks like it belongs.

Built for south Louisiana

Walk gates that keep working in humid, wet weather

Walk gates get touched, slammed and rained on. Here is what we plan for in south Louisiana.

  • Humid air and rust

    Hinges and latches rust first because water collects there. We choose hardware and a finish plan with that in mind, and your yearly paint touch-up helps.

  • Settling clay soil

    As clay shifts, a post can lean and a gate can drag or stop latching. We set posts to resist that movement.

  • Heavy rain and standing water

    Side yards and garden paths often stay wet. We plan the gate and posts so water has less chance to sit against the iron.
