In the quiet residential streets of Granada Hills, nestled deep in the San Fernando Valley, the Cohen family had a vision. Their home was beautiful, their driveway long and inviting, but the old manual gate at the entrance was more of a nuisance than a feature.
Every day — rain or shine — they’d have to get out of the car to open and close it. It was clunky, outdated, and didn’t offer any real security. When they called Metro GDS – Gates and Garage Doors, they weren’t asking for a miracle. They just wanted a smoother, smarter entry.
But we saw an opportunity to give them more than just convenience.
From Frustration to Functionality
When we arrived for the initial consultation, we took a full walkthrough of the property. Their driveway had a great footprint, and the space was perfect for a modern upgrade. After talking through their needs, we proposed a custom-built steel driveway gate with rich wood inlay — a design that not only provided privacy and durability but also elevated their curb appeal.
To power it, we recommended the All O Matic Gate Opener — one of the best electric gate openers on the market. With its whisper-quiet operation, smartphone control, and built-in safety features, it fit their lifestyle perfectly. We rounded out the installation with a smart intercom, a weatherproof keypad, and a battery backup system to ensure the gate would still function during power outages.
The Moment Everything Changed
By the time the installation was complete, the transformation was undeniable. The new gate wasn’t just functional — it felt like a natural extension of the home’s style and security.
“This changed how we live,” Mrs. Cohen told us. “I don’t even think about the gate anymore — it just works. It looks amazing, and I don’t have to get out of the car ever again.”
Her husband added, “This wasn’t just an upgrade, it was an investment in peace of mind.”
And that’s the kind of feedback that never gets old.
