Quality You Can Count On – Automated Gate Installation From A Team You Can Trust
Your property deserves protection. Security gates offer a significant safety upgrade by controlling who can enter your property. With options ranging from keypad entry to telephone entry systems and even smartphone technology integration, you determine who gains access and when – perfect for home improvement and property security investments.
No more getting out of your vehicle in the rain or snow to open a manual gate. Our automated systems let you open and close your gate with the touch of a button from the comfort of your car or truck. Many of our gate systems can also be programmed for timed opening and closing schedules, similar to a modern garage door opener.
A well-designed entry gate makes a striking first impression and can substantially increase your property's value. It's an investment that pays dividends both in daily convenience and long-term property appreciation, complementing other exterior features like your garage door or picket fence.
We’ve refined our process over 25 years to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience:
One of our owners will visit your property to understand your needs, assess the installation site, and discuss options that work best for your specific situation. We'll consider factors like available driveway space, terrain, vehicle types, usage patterns, and aesthetic preferences for your entry gates.
Based on our assessment, we'll recommend the ideal gate design and automation system for your property and provide a clear, detailed price quote with no hidden costs. We'll explain fence installation costs, gate opener options, and access control systems in straightforward terms.
Our experienced team handles the entire installation process, from preparing the site to installing the gate, hinges, opener system, and access controls. We take care to ensure everything is properly aligned, calibrated, and tested, whether we're working with wood fences, metal gates, or ornamental iron designs.
We'll program your automation system according to your preferences and provide comprehensive information and training so you understand how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot your new gate system, including any keypads, intercoms, or other control devices.
Our relationship doesn't end after installation. Our customer service center remains available to answer questions, provide maintenance guidance, and address any concerns or damages that arise with your automated gate system.
Create an impressive entrance to your home while adding security and convenience. We offer a wide range of styles to complement your home's architecture, garage door design, and your personal taste – from ornamental iron to solid wood privacy designs with powder coating for durability.
Secure your business premises, warehouse, or manufacturing facility with heavy-duty automated gates designed for frequent use and enhanced security. Our commercial gate systems can handle high traffic volumes and truck weight while providing reliable access control for employees, customers, and vendors.
Protect large Maryland properties with durable automated gates that control access to your land, regardless of complexity or size. We offer solutions specifically designed for rural properties, including options for remote locations with limited power access using solar panels for gate operation.
Perfect for residential properties with sufficient room for the gate's swing radius. These classic gates provide elegant entry points with options for single or double swing designs. Available in wood, metal, iron, steel, or aluminum, with various height options to match your fence installation.
Ideal for properties with limited driveway space. Our sliding gates run parallel to your fence line, making them perfect for properties with minimal setback from the curb. The sliding mechanism works smoothly even in harsh Maryland climate conditions.
A specialized sliding gate that doesn't require a ground track, making them excellent for uneven terrain, areas with frequent snowfall, or properties where the driveway surface needs to remain uninterrupted. The weight of these gates is supported by posts rather than a track.
These space-saving gates fold as they open, requiring less room than traditional swinging gates while maintaining attractive aesthetics. Great for properties where space is at a premium but security cannot be compromised.
Heavy-duty automated gates designed specifically for industrial and commercial properties needing enhanced security and frequent access control. Perfect for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other Baltimore-area businesses requiring vehicle or pedestrian entry management.
When you choose All Around Fence for your automatic gate installation, you’re getting more than just a contractor – you’re partnering with a family-owned Maryland company that takes pride in delivering quality results.
Unlike larger fence companies where you deal with different people at each stage, our owners are directly involved throughout your project. From the initial design consultation through installation and beyond, you'll work with decision-makers who can ensure your gate installation goes exactly as planned, with transparent pricing and excellent customer service.
As Jeremy from All Around Fence explains: "The biggest thing that sets us apart is that we have kept our business small. We handle everything from start to finish within the family. The owners are the salespeople and your main points of contact. The person that measures your property meets you onsite and makes sure the job gets done the right way. You have someone of authority from start to finish so your job is done right and as you expected it the first time."
While we maintain our family-business approach, we partner with certified gate opener specialists and licensed electricians to ensure your automated system's electrical wiring meets all safety and quality standards. This combination gives you the personal service of a small company with the technical expertise required for complex gate automation and access control security.
We believe in straightforward pricing that delivers value. Our approach to fence costs and gate installation cost is simple: we calculate material costs, labor requirements, and overhead, then provide a fair price without hidden fees or surprise charges. We offer flexible payment options to accommodate your budget.
With stellar reviews across Google and Facebook, our reputation as a leading Baltimore-area fence company speaks for itself. We've built our business on word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers throughout Anne Arundel, Howard, and Baltimore counties, with insurance coverage and comprehensive warranties on all installations.

The automated gate installation timeline varies depending on the complexity of your project, but most residential installations can be completed within 1-2 days. Commercial gate systems may take 2-3 days depending on the size and features. At All Around Fence, we work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring proper installation of your automated gate system, including electrical wiring, safety feature testing, and thorough calibration of all access control components. Our trucks are fully equipped to handle all aspects of the job without delays.
Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your automated gate functioning properly for years to come. We recommend quarterly visual inspections of all moving parts, hinges, and doors, lubrication of mechanisms every 3-6 months, testing safety features monthly, and a professional inspection annually. Our gate specialists can provide a customized maintenance schedule based on your specific gate type, vehicle usage patterns, and Maryland climate conditions to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your investment.
Yes, in many cases existing manual gates, whether wood, iron, or metal construction, can be retrofitted with automated gate openers. Our team will assess your current gate's structure, weight, height, and condition to determine the appropriate automation system. The automated gate conversion process typically involves reinforcing the gate if necessary, installing the proper gate opener, adding safety features, and integrating your chosen access control system. This automation upgrade can transform your manual entry gates into a convenient, secure driveway solution without the cost of a complete fence installation.
Most quality automated gate installations include battery backup systems that allow your gate to continue functioning during power outages, similar to modern garage door opener technology. These backup systems typically provide enough power for 50-100 cycles (openings and closings) depending on the system's complexity. For areas with frequent power disruptions or for gates in critical security applications, we also offer solar power options with solar panels and enhanced battery systems. All Around Fence ensures your gate installation includes reliable backup power solutions tailored to your specific needs and Maryland location.
The cost of automated gate installation varies based on several factors including gate size, material (wood, metal, iron), style, automation type, and additional features. Basic residential automated gate installations in Maryland typically start around $3,500, while more elaborate systems with premium materials and advanced access controls can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more. Commercial security gate systems generally start around $8,000 due to their heavier-duty components and enhanced security features. All Around Fence provides detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific requirements, with flexible payment options to make your gate investment more affordable within your budget.
Safety is our top priority when performing any gate installation or garage door installation. Modern automated gate systems include multiple safety features such as photo-eye sensors that detect obstacles, pressure sensors that stop and reverse the gate if resistance is encountered, and warning sounds during operation. We follow strict industry standards and local codes to ensure all automated gate installations meet or exceed safety standards, whether for vehicle or pedestrian entry. During your consultation, we'll discuss specific safety concerns regarding children, pets, and trees on your property, and can recommend additional safety measures tailored to your family's needs.
Today's automated gate installations offer numerous access control systems to suit your lifestyle and security needs. Popular choices include remote controls, keypads with personalized entry codes, telephone entry systems with intercoms for screening visitors, card readers for businesses, and smartphone technology that allows gate control from any room in your home or while away. More advanced systems can incorporate license plate recognition, server-based security protocols, or integration with home/business security systems. All Around Fence will help you select the ideal access control solution based on your security requirements, convenience preferences, and budget constraints. We work with leading brands in the industry for reliability and performance.
Both automated gates and garage door replacement offer excellent returns on investment for Maryland homeowners. While garage door installation primarily enhances one entry point to your home, automated gate installation secures your entire property perimeter. Gates provide the first layer of security before visitors even reach your doors. From a home improvement perspective, automatic gates typically add more curb appeal and create a prestigious impression, while garage door repair or replacement improves both aesthetics and daily functionality. Many of our customers invest in both, using complementary designs to create a cohesive look for their property entrances. The complexity and cost of gate installation is typically higher than garage door installation, but so is the impact on property value and security.
