Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from custom metal gates in St. Catharines
Latch alignment protected
Gate latches need stable posts, pavement clearance, and enough adjustment for seasonal movement. A gate that looks square in the shop can still miss the latch on a sloped driveway.
Infill suits the site
Gate infill can be pickets, welded mesh, sheet, or expanded metal depending on wind, privacy, and security needs. The infill changes how the gate behaves in weather.
Stops prevent overtravel
Gate stops, cane bolts, hold-opens, and ground sockets protect hinges and nearby walls. Without stops, the leaf can twist hardware or strike the building.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your custom metal gates with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Custom Metal Gates

The Grate Guys builds custom metal gates around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using galvanized steel, powder-coat, stainless details, or heavier plate selected around corrosion and traffic exposure, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
