NEWARK, DE – June 25, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Leading Edge Fence and Gates, a family-owned company based in Newark, is marking more than thirty years of specializing in automated gate and access control systems, a focus it has held since its founding in 1993. While many contractors treat gate automation as a secondary offering, the company has built its core business around the design, installation, and service of gate systems, with fencing as a complementary service.
The company has structured its work around gate automation as its primary discipline. Leading Edge installs aluminum and vinyl gates in a range of operational configurations, including swing, slide, vertical pivot, lift, and crash gates, along with gate arms and barrier arms. Each configuration is matched to a property’s access pattern, security needs, and vehicle traffic, an approach the company says is closer to engineering a system than selling a product off a shelf.
Access control is integrated directly with those gate systems rather than offered as a separate building-entry product. The company provides cellular access control, keypads, vehicle sensors, and remote operators, with installations ranging from a remote-operated residential driveway gate to a vehicle-sensor barrier arm at a commercial facility. Gate operator installations are performed in line with UL 325 safety standards, the recognized standard governing how automated gates respond to obstructions and how their operators are configured.
“After three decades, gate automation and access control are still the center of what we do,” said Wes Tribbitt, owner and operator of Leading Edge Fence and Gates. “Fencing is a natural part of the work, but the gate side is where our experience runs deepest.”
That experience spans a mix of residential, commercial, and county work. A single project may call for a decorative driveway gate at a private home, while another requires a high-cycle barrier system at a facility where vehicles pass through continuously throughout the day. The company says the variety is what has kept its crews focused on the gate discipline rather than diluting it across unrelated trades.
“Every site is a little different, and gates are mechanical systems that have to work every day for years,” Tribbitt said. “Matching the right operator and access setup to how a property is actually used is the part that takes experience to get right.”
Alongside its gate work, the company installs vinyl, wood, aluminum, and chain link fencing for residential and commercial properties. Vinyl is offered in picket, three-rail, privacy, and semi-private styles, aluminum in two-rail and three-rail configurations, and chain link in heights suited to residential yards through taller commercial perimeters. Fencing services are available across New Castle and Kent counties, while gate installation and automation work extends across New Castle and into Sussex County.
The company operates exclusively within Delaware and serves communities including Newark, Middletown, Bear, New Castle, Odessa, Townsend, Smyrna, and Dover, with gate work reaching south to Wilmington, Milford, and the coastal towns of Lewes, Bethany Beach, Rehoboth Beach, and Fenwick Island.
Leading Edge Fence and Gates operates from its Newark location and maintains close ties to the communities it serves, including support of youth little league in the Middletown area. For prospective clients, the company offers an online budget tool that provides an initial planning estimate before an on-site consultation, part of an approach the company describes as built on clear communication.
Founded in 1993, Leading Edge Fence and Gates is a family-owned automated gate, access control, and fencing company based in Newark, Delaware. The company designs and installs gate automation and access control systems alongside vinyl, wood, aluminum, and chain link fencing for residential and commercial clients across Delaware.
