Forge & Cove
Contemporary aluminum driveway gate on a Malibu canyon road
Everything around the home

The gate is the first thing the coast sees.

Custom driveway gates, fences, garage doors, access control, and outdoor spaces. Aluminum and steel, non-combustible, salt-air rated, fabricated in our shop and installed by our crew.

Access control

Operators, keypads, intercom, and app access

Zone Zero fences and gates: where the rule stands and what it asks of the five feet next to the house.

Every gate is designed with its operator, power, and access hardware from the first drawing. Battery backup for outages, video intercom at the street, guest codes from your phone. More on access control.

Finishes

One finish family across the property

Gate, fence, and garage door in the same finish so the property reads as one piece. Matte black, dark bronze, walnut wood-look, weathered steel, coastal grey. Finish names to be confirmed by the shop.

Fire hardened home on a Malibu bluff
The home

The gate comes from the builder of the house.

Forge & Cove is a Malibu home builder first: ground-up custom homes and fire rebuilds, through Coastal Commission and city permitting, built to the wildland urban interface code. The gates and fences are the part of the house that faces the street.
