Why Sherman Oaks homeowners pick Red Stag

Three reasons our gates work is different in Sherman Oaks.

01

Structural steel core.

Every gate over 8 feet uses a structural steel armature engineered to take 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. The hardwood is cladding — the structure is steel.

02

Hidden hardware, integrated controls.

Pivot, sliding, and bi-fold mechanisms with magnetic latches, biometric or keypad access, and full smart-home integration. No exposed hinges, no surface-mount controllers.

03

Designed to read with the architecture.

Estate gates are an architectural element, not an accessory. We collaborate with your architect (or design from scratch) to make the gate a continuation of the perimeter wall — not a bolt-on.

Sherman Oaks build context

What's specific about gates in Sherman Oaks.

An estate gate is the first impression of the home. We build pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with structural steel cores, Cumaru or Ipe cladding, and integrated biometric or app-based controls — designed to read as a continuation of your perimeter wall, not a bolt-on. Every gate is engineered for 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. In Sherman Oaks specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Established family Valley neighborhood with two distinct halves: south-of-the-boulevard hillside (premium traditional) and north-of-the-boulevard flatlands (mid-tier traditional). That changes what a gates project looks like — both in spec and in process.

Architecture in Sherman Oaks runs restored 1940s ranches, english tudor revivals south of the boulevard, post-war traditional in the flatlands. — and the gates we deliver is calibrated to read with the architecture, not against it.
