Professional Gate Installation Across Central Indiana
Residential Gate Installation Done Right
A gate moves every time you enter or leave your yard. Its posts, frame, hinges, latch, ground clearance, and surrounding fence all affect how it works.
Apex Fence installs gates for wood, vinyl, and aluminum fencing throughout Central Indiana. We install residential gates for everyday foot traffic, children and pets, lawn equipment, backyard maintenance, and wider access needs.
Our installers begin by asking how you will use the opening. A walk gate requires different planning from a wider gate used for a mower, cart, trailer, or other equipment. We also consider where the gate will sit, how far it needs to open, and whether nearby landscaping, walkways, structures, or changes in grade could affect its movement.
Let our team transform your yard with an installation you’ll be proud of.

Gates for Wood, Vinyl, and Aluminum Fences & More
We install gates that provide practical entry points without detracting from the appearance or function of your fence.
- Gates With New Fences: Planning your gates before installing a new fence lets us place each opening where it will serve you best. We can account for your normal route through the yard, equipment access, patios, walkways, driveways, and the areas your children or pets use.
- Gate to an Existing Fence: You may want another entrance after living with your fence for several years. We can inspect the proposed opening and determine whether the existing posts and nearby fence sections can support a gate.
- Replacements for Aging or Damaged Gates: A gate can become difficult to use when posts move, hinges loosen, framing changes shape, hardware wears, or the bottom begins rubbing against the ground.
- Walk Gates: A walk gate provides a practical way to move between the front, side, and rear of your property. Common locations include side yards, backyard entrances, walkways, and routes between a driveway and backyard.
- Wider Equipment Gates: A wider gate can give you room to move equipment and larger items into your backyard. Homeowners commonly request wider openings for push or riding lawn mowers, outdoor furniture, recreational equipment, and maintenance access.
- Double Gates: A double gate uses two leaves to cover a wider residential opening. This arrangement may work where one large gate leaf would place too much weight on a single hinge post or require more swing room than the property provides.
- Gates for Powered Access: A gate operator can open and close a suitable residential gate without manual movement. We review the gate, posts, hinges, opening, available space, and intended use before discussing a powered system.
Your gate should open easily, close securely, and fit the surrounding fence. We plan each opening around your fence material, property layout, gate width, swing direction, supporting posts, and hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fence gates does Apex Fence install?
We install gates for residential wood, vinyl, and aluminum fencing. Depending on the project, these may include walk gates, wider equipment gates, replacement gates, and gates prepared for powered access.
Can you install a gate with my new fence?
Yes. Planning the gate with your new fence allows us to account for the opening, posts, hardware, swing direction, and access route before construction begins.
Can you add a gate to an existing fence?
We first need to inspect the existing fence, posts, material, layout, and proposed opening. Adding a gate may require rebuilding nearby sections or installing new supporting posts.
Can you replace a gate without replacing the entire fence?
That depends on the condition of the surrounding posts and fence sections. We can inspect the opening and explain whether replacing the gate alone can address the problem.
What types problems with my existing gate can you inspect?
We can review gates that lean, drag, swing unevenly, fail to meet the latch, have damaged hardware, or no longer provide the access width you need.
How wide should my gate be?
The right width depends on what will pass through the opening. A gate used for foot traffic can be narrower than one used for a mower, cart, trailer, or other equipment. Tell us about your widest item during the property review.
Can you install a gate that matches my fence?
Yes. We can coordinate the gate with wood, vinyl, or aluminum fencing. Available colors, styles, heights, and widths depend on the selected material and product line.
