Cable railing gates add functionality to any cable railing or fencing system by allowing access through the barrier. In comparison to standard privacy gates which can be bulky and/or solid; cable alternatives do this without losing the sleek aesthetics. San Diego Cable Railings custom cable gates can be made to any size and will match all of our most popular railing frame systems to include: galvanized steel stainless steel T304 and T316 exterior soft wood types (Cedar, Redwood) exterior hardwoods (Ipe’) Gates and Child Safety Cable railing gates utilize the same stainless steel cable infill systems as our cable railings. SDCR recommended 3″ on center cable spacing combined with machine swaged stainless hardware creates ample tension and a rigid frame. Our gates come furnished with heavy duty stainless hinges and latches for durability and utility.  Stunning to the eye and almost indestructible; these gates will keep your children and pets safe inside. One question we often get is ” can I buy a stand alone cable gate?” and the answer is yes. Existing wooden fence posts, exterior walls, and block columns are all excellent ways to mount your cable gate.

We have installed our custom gates in marine environments as well as  high heat and cold exposure  with great success. [envira-gallery id=”4277″] Are Cable Railing Gates Expensive? When compared to standard wooden or vinyl privacy gates,  stainless steel cable gates carry a higher price point. Steel cable gates are fully welded and most often powder coated for increased durability. The strength of our gate does not depend on a mechanical connection; nor do they swell and shrink like vinyl products.  The lifespan of a cable railing gate outside in the elements is 30-50 years; which means you’re not likely to ever need to purchase another gate due to wear and tear. There is little to no maintenance other than occasional cleaning or wipe down in extreme environments. Ordering a custom cable gate is easy and fast using our quote request form.
