Custom Gates and Smart Retrofit in Franklin, Tennessee
Custom iron and smart-retrofit work for Franklin's historic homes, master-planned communities, and Williamson County farms.
615 Gates designs, fabricates, and installs custom driveway gates for homes and farms in Franklin, Tennessee, about 17 miles south of downtown Nashville in Williamson County, and retrofits smart app control onto gates that are already standing. Franklin runs two very different gate jobs side by side: wrought iron and wood gates built to match the brick and stone homes near the historic downtown square, and pipe or tube-steel entrance gates for the horse farms and hobby-farm acreage on the city's western and southern edges. Master-planned communities like Westhaven and Fieldstone Farms add a third kind of call, matched entry gates for HOA-governed driveways, including Fieldstone Farms' gated section. 615 Gates works from the same estimate process across all three.

Gate services in Franklin.
Cool Springs adds a commercial layer to Franklin’s gate work: automated entries and barrier arms for the office and retail properties along Mack Hatcher Parkway and Carothers Parkway, running alongside the residential and farm calls closer to downtown. Williamson County carried 1,153 farms in the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture, averaging 117 acres each, and enough of that acreage sits inside Franklin’s own city limits and along its edges to keep pipe-gate and cattle-guard work a regular part of the schedule here, not an occasional special order.

Franklin questions, answered.
Do you build custom driveway gates for Franklin's historic homes and estates?
Yes. Franklin's downtown core sits inside five National Register historic districts with protected older housing stock, and estate properties around Westhaven and Fieldstone Farms usually want a gate built to match the house rather than a stock panel. 615 Gates fabricates wrought iron, wood, and aluminum gates sized and styled to the property, then handles the driveway operator and controls in the same visit.
Do you install farm and ranch gates on Williamson County properties near Franklin?
Yes. Williamson County carried 1,153 farms in the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture, many of them west and south of downtown Franklin along the horse-farm belt, and 615 Gates builds pipe and tube-steel entrance gates for that kind of long gravel drive. A solar-powered operator is often the better fit than a trenched electrical run when the gate sits far from the house.
Can you add smart app control to a gate you didn't originally install in Franklin?
In most cases, yes. A technician checks the existing operator's brand and condition during a free estimate, then retrofits app control, a keypad, or a video intercom onto the gate that is already there instead of replacing the whole system. This applies to a gate behind a historic-district home, a subdivision entry at Westhaven or Fieldstone Farms, or a farm gate on the edge of town.
Do I need a permit for a new gate or fence in Franklin?
Often not, but it depends on the height. Franklin's Building and Neighborhood Services department does not require a permit for a fence at 6 feet or under, while a solid fence taller than 8 feet needs engineered plans approved by Planning and Codes, and front yard fencing is capped at 75 percent opacity under the city's design standard. Confirm where your design lands before ordering materials.
