Designing Your Wrought Iron Gate

Cassidy Brothers’ wrought iron gates are offered in many traditional styles as well as custom-made to your architect’s specifications.

Quality of design, materials and craftsmanship are what make our ironwork gates superior to the standards available today. Pickets and frames are made from solid material. All scrollwork is hand forged by our blacksmiths.

When ordered for new masonry columns, gates include a steel superstructure to reinforce the columns. This important component includes pre-fit hinges as well as optional gate operator hardware. This key element provides an extremely simple method for accurate and fast gate erection. Our gate hinges are an extremely heavy duty design using 1″ x 3″ thick material and a 1″ diameter stainless steel pintle sleeved with a bronze bushing and bronze washer.

Wrought iron gates are available for 12′, 14′, 16′ and 20′ wide openings by 6′ column heights.
