About DC Controls
Sacramento's gate specialists — for the long haul.
What started as a small specialty contractor has grown into one of the region's most established names in custom gate fabrication, automation, and repair. The work hasn't changed in principle: build gates that look right, work reliably, and stand up to decades of daily use.
That's the reason Sacramento-area homeowners, property managers, and businesses keep calling us back for the next project — and why so much of our work comes by referral.

The Problem
Your gate should work for you
Not the other way around. Here's what most Sacramento homeowners are stuck with before they call us.
01
Manual gate fatigue
Hopping out of your car to open and close a heavy gate — every single day, every trip.
02
Aging opener, ticking clock
One dead capacitor away from being stuck shut (or wide open) at the worst possible time.
03
No real access control
A driveway anyone can walk straight up. Package thieves, door-knockers, unwanted visitors.

Neighbors Talking
138+ five-star reviews. Here are a few.
"Daniel and his crew automated our old swing gate in a single day. Cleanest wiring job I've ever seen. Answered every question I had — twice."
"We had three bids for a new driveway gate. DC Controls wasn't the cheapest but you could tell they actually build the thing. Zero regrets."
"Our opener died on a Sunday. They walked me through a temporary fix on the phone and had a new one installed by Tuesday. Real people, real service."
