DC Controls installs and services commercial gate systems throughout Davis. A commercial gate has to move constantly, control traffic, hold up to daily use, and meet code for everyone who passes through, so we scope each Davis system to the property and the way vehicles and people actually move across the site.
Heavy-duty slide and cantilever gates built for trucks and constant cycling.
Resident and visitor access with telephone entry and loop safety.
After-hours security with clean, presentable daytime entrances.
Code-compliant, higher-security entrances for restricted facilities.
A commercial gate fails when it's specified from a drawing instead of the site. Before we quote, we walk your Davis property and work through the things that actually determine what to build:
A commercial entrance in Davis is only as good as the system that controls who comes through it. We install and integrate the full range: keypads and card readers for staff, telephone entry with a dial-a-resident directory for multifamily and offices, smartphone management, and vehicle loops for clean, hands-free flow, all wired and programmed to your gate. Every commercial gate we build meets the UL 325 safety standard with full entrapment protection, with the ADA clearances and signage code requires designed in from the start, not bolted on at inspection.
A commercial gate that goes down means blocked deliveries or tenants locked out, so for most Davis businesses the gate is only half the job, keeping it running is the other half. We offer maintenance and service plans built around that: scheduled preventive visits that catch wear before it strands you, priority response when something does go wrong, and coverage across one site or a whole portfolio under a single point of contact. We design, fabricate, install, and service the entire system in-house and coordinate with your property management or general contractor through permitting and inspection. You get an itemized proposal, and the right service plan, after a free walk-through of your Davis site.
For the gate itself, we size continuous-duty operators, DoorKing and HySecurity for the heaviest work, to the real daily cycle count rather than the cheapest unit that fits the opening, because an under-spec'd operator on a busy entrance is the single most common reason commercial gates fail early. Heavy slide, cantilever, and swing gates are built and finished in our own shop to take constant use, so the whole system, gate, operator, and access control, comes from and is supported by one local team.

Claim OfferIn Davis, where a mix of agricultural, academic, and retail businesses thrive, we often recommend sliding or swinging gates for commercial properties. Sliding gates work well where space is somewhat limited, as they require only lateral space to operate. Swinging gates suit more spacious areas and are particularly effective for businesses located on larger lots or with longer driveways, typical of some agricultural properties around Davis. We offer commercial gate systems from top brands like LiftMaster and DoorKing, allowing us to tailor a solution to your specific operational needs and site conditions.
With over 25 years of experience serving the Sacramento region, our team understands the unique security needs of businesses in Davis. We build each gate to meet UL 325 safety standards and use operator brands like HySecurity and Viking known for their reliable security features. For enhanced security, we integrate access control systems such as keypads, card readers, or even biometric scanners to safeguard your property. Regular maintenance and inspections by our factory-trained technicians ensure your gate system remains secure against unauthorized entry.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with older structures in downtown Davis, where historic charm meets modern needs. Our licensed and bonded team carefully assesses the existing structure and terrain, ensuring that the installation complements the unique architecture while meeting all functional requirements. We fabricate the gates in our own shop, allowing us to customize designs that respect the aesthetic of your building while providing modern security features.
The installation timeline for a commercial gate system in Davis can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the specific site requirements. Generally, once you approve our free on-site estimate, custom fabrication and installation can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the time needed for any required permits or site preparation. Our team is dedicated to minimizing disruptions to your business operations and will provide a detailed timeline specific to your project during our initial consultation.
For properties in Davis's rural areas, such as farms or large acreages, there are several factors to consider when installing a gate system. Access control is crucial when dealing with multiple entry points typical of such properties. We often use solar-powered operators to ensure remote areas have a reliable power source, which is especially advantageous in the sunny Davis climate. Furthermore, robust materials and finishes can withstand elements typical of open fields and rural locations, ensuring longevity and functionality.
