Fencing
Railings, Stairs & Gates
Handrails, stair railings, and access gates, fabricated and installed across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware & Maryland.
Overview
Railings, stairs, and gates cover the smaller-scale, site-specific safety and access components that come up on nearly every fencing or site-safety project — handrails along elevated walkways and stairs, guardrails around loading docks and mechanical platforms, and custom gates that control pedestrian or vehicle access at a specific point in a larger fence line.
Because these components are often what people directly touch and use — a handrail someone grips walking down a set of stairs, a gate someone opens by hand every day — fit, finish, and hardware quality matter as much as the underlying structural function. Our in-house fabrication shop lets us produce railings and gates to match the exact dimensions and conditions of a given site rather than forcing a project into an off-the-shelf size.
Handrail and guardrail height, baluster spacing, and load capacity are governed by building and life-safety codes that vary somewhat depending on the jurisdiction and the type of facility — a code-compliant handrail on a public commercial building has specific requirements for graspability and continuous run length that a purely industrial guardrail around equipment may not need to meet in the same way. Our crews build to whichever code applies to a given project rather than a single generic standard, which matters most on public-facing commercial and institutional work.
How & Why It’s Used
Handrails and stair railings are typically specified on commercial, industrial, and public sites wherever a change in elevation — stairs, ramps, or a raised platform — requires fall protection, and are frequently part of the same project scope as a broader perimeter or safety fencing job. We fabricate and install both standard and custom configurations to match code requirements and the site's specific geometry.
Gates range from simple pedestrian walk-gates set into a fence line to larger vehicle-access gates with mechanized or manual operation, and are specified based on who needs to move through a given point in the fence and how often. We handle gate hardware repair and replacement as a standalone service as well, since gates see more wear and mechanical stress than the fence line they're set into.
Because railings and gates are frequently added to an existing building or site rather than built alongside new construction, matching new components to existing railing style, material, and finish is a routine part of the work — a mismatched handrail added during a later renovation stands out in a way that undermines an otherwise finished-looking property. Our in-house fabrication capability lets us match an existing profile closely rather than installing the closest available stock item.
Typical Applications
- —Handrails along elevated walkways, ramps, and platforms
- —Stair railings on commercial and industrial sites
- —Guardrails around loading docks and mechanical equipment platforms
- —Pedestrian walk-gates set into perimeter and site fencing
- —Vehicle-access gates with manual or mechanized operation
- —Gate hardware repair and replacement as a standalone service
Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes, since they typically complete a site's overall safety and access scope alongside perimeter or site fencing — but we also handle them as a standalone project when a site just needs a handrail, stair railing, or gate repair on its own.
Yes — our in-house fabrication shop produces railings and gates built to the exact dimensions and conditions of a given site, rather than relying on off-the-shelf sizing that may not fit every location.
Yes — gate hardware repair and replacement is something we handle as a standalone service, since gates see more mechanical wear from daily operation than the surrounding fence line.
Yes — height, baluster spacing, and load capacity are governed by building and life-safety codes that vary by jurisdiction and facility type, and we build to whichever code applies to a given project.
Yes — our in-house fabrication shop can match an existing railing or gate's profile, material, and finish closely, which matters when new work is being added to an older or architecturally distinct property.
Yes — gate operators and safety sensors on mechanized vehicle gates need their own periodic inspection and maintenance separate from the physical gate and fence hardware, which we handle alongside our standard gate service work.
Yes — it's common for a property to add a gate, handrail, or stair railing after the main fence line is installed, either as originally planned in phases or as a later addition, and our fabrication shop can match new components to what's already in place.
