Custom gates for every home: Personalising your entrance

Form. Function. Style. When designing a custom gate, all three must come together in a way that celebrates your home’s architecture and operates reliably every time.

A home’s entrance is more than a functional necessity—it’s a reflection of your style and taste and the first impression visitors have of your home. When designing a custom gate, it’s essential that it enhances the architecture of your home. At the same time, it must function well within a defined space and its hardware must be completely reliable. 

 At Langford, we bring together form, function and style to create an entrance that is as distinctive as your home itself.

‍‍Personalising your entrance with a custom gate

The first step is a conversation. We like to find out what inspires you, from the type of materials you envision to the style and level of detail you’re looking for. We also consider your home, its materials and era, and we’ll share images of gates that will best complement the architecture.

When you have an architect involved—you may have built new or renovated—we consult with them to ensure a cohesive design. Gates may need to match an existing fence, or they may be part of a brand new fence and gate package. Custom gates also need to integrate with your home’s hard and soft landscaping. We take all these factors into account when making recommendations so that the final design and installation feel like a natural fit on your site.

Custom gates can be made in many different styles

For functionality, one type of opening system might be more suited to your driveway than others—for example, swing, sliding, bi-fold or even an underground, retractable gate. The opening system will also inform gate design and material options, automation, controls and wiring.

Whatever specific requirements and constraints there may be, whether your home features a modern aesthetic, bungalow or classic villa elegance, we can help you design a bespoke gate to fit.

Our experts will suggest materials and finishes that not only align with your vision, but also withstand the demands of the environment. Whether you prefer the practical elegance of aluminium, the warmth of wood, or a laser-cut steel screen, we help you make informed choices to ensure durability and beauty. And we’ll specify only the best quality hardware.

The result is a custom gate that is personalised for your home and landscaping, enhancing and protecting your property while improving the usability of your garden.
