A Family Standard of Craftsmanship — Since 1992.
Over 30 years. Thousands of gates. One uncompromising commitment to quality, honesty, and standing behind every job.
The Story Behind the Shop
Best Gate Shop, LLC — also known as Elite Gate Company — was founded in 1992 by Charles Deaton in Nashville, Tennessee. What began as a one-man operation has grown into Middle Tennessee's go-to source for custom gates and access control.
Today, Charles, Parker, and the team build every gate from start to finish in the Dickerson Road shop, using only high-quality American materials. We're proud to be family-owned, locally rooted, and personally accountable for every project.
