Entrance Gate | Hancock Park | Los Angeles

Black metal gate between tall hedges, topped with anti-climb spikes, with mesh panels and a keypad lock. — A continuous **Modern saw-tooth edge** crowns the wood wall—subtle from afar, decisive up close.

Context & Location

On a busy corner near Hollywood, this modern home presented multiple climbable surfaces facing a high-traffic intersection. The design brief: maintain the crisp architectural language while adding a discreet yet effective anti-climb layer.

A second nearby residence, set back from the main street around Highland Ave, requested a coordinated solution for a side gate in a quieter, classic-meets-modern setting.

Design & Installation

For the corner lot, we installed a Ninja Deterrent™ Modern saw-tooth profile along the top of the exterior wood wall. The razor-clean rhythm blends with the horizontal cladding and drought-tolerant agave planting, delivering a minimalist silhouette that denies hand purchase without visual clutter.

For the Highland Ave side gate, we specified Ninja Deterrent™ Gothic along the gate’s upper rail. The heart-cut geometry pairs naturally with the home’s black steel, wood fence elements, and wrought-iron window accents—modern yet classically detailed.

Finish: Matte black—low glare, UV-stable, weather-resistant powder coat.
Approach: CPTED layering—physical deterrent + visibility; unobtrusive from the street.
