San Francisco Bay Area's Trusted Garage Door & Gate Experts
When your garage door snaps a spring at 6am or your automatic gate refuses to open on a Sunday night, you do not need a call center telling you someone will come out sometime this week.
You need a local technician who knows what they are doing, shows up on time, and fixes it right the first time. That is exactly what Gil’s Garage Doors & Gates has been delivering to homeowners and businesses across the San Francisco Bay Area for years.
We are a small, family-owned garage door and gate company, which means when you call us, you speak directly with a technician, not a dispatcher reading from a script.
Our best-price guarantee is backed by direct supplier relationships with American Springs and LiftMaster, so you get professional-grade parts and expert installation at a price that beats the competition every time. And because garage door emergencies do not follow a 9-to-5 schedule, we keep our lines open and our technicians ready to respond when you need us most.

Garage Door Repair & Installation
A malfunctioning garage door is one of the most disruptive problems a homeowner can face. It affects your security, your daily routine, and in colder months, your home’s insulation.
Our garage door repair technicians are experienced with every brand, every style, and every type of failure — from broken torsion springs and snapped cables to off-track doors, damaged panels, and failed openers.
We install and repair all major brands of residential and commercial garage doors, including steel doors, wood doors, aluminum full-view doors, carriage-style doors, and insulated doors.
We are also an authorized LiftMaster installer, meaning we carry and install the industry’s most trusted garage door openers with smart home integration, battery backup, and myQ app control.

Gate Installation & Repair
A custom gate is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your property. It increases security, adds curb appeal, and gives you complete control over who enters your home or business.
At Gil’s Garage Doors & Gates, we design, fabricate, and install custom iron gates, aluminum gates, and wood gates for residential driveways, commercial properties, and multi-unit buildings throughout the Bay Area.
We install sliding gates, single-swing gates, dual-swing gates, and pedestrian access gates. Every gate we install can be automated with a LiftMaster gate opener and paired with a keypad, intercom, or full smart access control system. Our in-house fabrication means your gate is built to your exact specifications, not pulled from a catalog.
If your existing gate has stopped working, is grinding, dragging, or stuck open, our team handles all types of gate repair as well. Visit our Gate Installation page or our Gate Repair page to learn more. For smart entry and intercom systems, visit our Intercom & Access Control page.
