Custom Swing Driveway Gates
A swing gate should clear the drive, stay aligned, and move freely before an operator is added. ASB builds single- and double-leaf gates around opening width, grade, post support, wind exposure, and the entrance design.

Driveway gates fitted to the opening and approach
We build modern, ornamental, ranch-style, and operator-ready swing gates across Nicholasville, Lexington, and Central Kentucky.
Single-leaf and double-leaf gates
One wide leaf can simplify the center line, while paired leaves reduce the swing radius and load carried by each hinge post. We compare the options against driveway width, slope, vehicle approach, wind exposure, and available operator geometry.
Posts, hinges, latches, and columns
Reliable movement starts with rigid support. The scope can include steel posts, hinge assemblies, center stops, drop rods, latches, masonry-column attachments, protective details, and reinforcement for an existing entrance.
Manual, solar, or powered access
Swing gates can remain manual or be prepared for LiftMaster operators, keypads, remotes, access control, monitored photo eyes and edges, battery backup, and compatible solar equipment.

Common questions
Should I choose one gate leaf or two?
That depends on opening width, swing room, post loading, wind, slope, appearance, and operator layout. We compare both configurations during planning.
Can a swing gate work on a sloped driveway?
Sometimes, but grade and vehicle clearance can limit the swing direction and hinge geometry. A sliding gate may be a better option for some entrances.
Can you attach gates to stone columns?
Yes, when the columns and internal supports are suitable. ASB also provides entrance-column and steel-support coordination when reinforcement is needed.
Can the gate be automated later?
Yes, if operator mounting, gate strength, stops, clearances, and power paths are planned during fabrication.
