Who We Are
The Shop Behind the Gate
American Federal Gates is a Southern California iron gate and fence company built on one principle — do the work right, every time. We design, fabricate, and install every gate and fence ourselves. No subcontractors. No shortcuts. The same hands that weld your gate hang it at your property.
Our crew has been working with wrought iron and American steel for over 25 years, serving homeowners, HOA communities, and commercial properties from Pasadena to Rancho Cucamonga to Riverside. We understand the architectural styles, the HOA requirements, and the demands of the Southern California climate.
We are a bilingual operation — serving Spanish and English speaking clients throughout the region. Whether you need a custom driveway gate, ornamental fencing, an automated access system, or a same-day repair, we show up, communicate clearly, and deliver work that lasts.
Every Job. Our Hands.
We do not subcontract. Not the fabrication. Not the installation. Not the finish work. Every single step is handled by our own crew — the same people you speak with are the ones who show up at your property.
This is how we maintain one consistent standard across every job, whether it is a single driveway gate in Arcadia or a full commercial perimeter fence in Ontario. No handoffs, no miscommunication, no surprises on install day.
Every custom gate also starts with detailed CAD drawings before a single piece of metal is cut. You see exactly what you are getting before we begin fabrication.
Licensed, Bonded & Insured.
American Federal Gates holds California Contractors State License Board license #1092042, classification C-61/D-28 — Doors, Gates and Activating Devices. We carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage on every job.
That means you are protected from day one. If anything goes wrong on your property during installation, you are not left holding the bill. That is what a real license and real insurance mean in practice.
You can verify our license status at any time directly through the California Contractors State License Board website.

Built to Last Decades.
We build with high-grade American steel and authentic wrought iron. The Southern California climate — intense sun, heat swings, and dry air — breaks down cheap materials fast. We choose our materials specifically to hold up against it.
Every gate and fence we install goes through a professional powder coat finish process that seals the metal against rust, UV damage, and corrosion. We also offer hot-dip galvanization for properties that need maximum protection.
A gate from American Federal Gates is not a product you replace in five years. It is ironwork you pass down.
