Vinyl Swing Gates in Los Angeles

The arc is the whole design. A swing gate needs roughly 90 degrees of unobstructed travel, which means no parked car, planter, retaining wall or rising grade in the path. On sloped ground the low corner of the leaf is what catches first, so we check the grade across the full arc during the on-site visit rather than just at the posts.

A swing gate also places real leverage on the hinge post — the wider the leaf, the harder it pulls. We set those posts deep in concrete so they do not lean over the years, and on wider openings we recommend splitting the span into two leaves, which halves the leverage on each post and keeps both leaves easier to operate.

Standard on every swing gate: stainless steel self-closing adjustable hinges and a lockable latch. Self-closing hinges matter for more than convenience — for a gate enclosing a pool, LA County code requires self-closing and self-latching hardware with the latch out of a child's reach, and we build to that standard by default.

Adjustable hinges also give you a repair path. If your soil settles and the gate starts to catch, we can re-true the leaf with a hinge adjustment instead of rebuilding it. If you want the gate motorized, tell us early — automation changes how the frame is built and how deep the posts are set.
