Company Background

A&D Automatic Gate & Access has been serving Redwood City and the broader Bay Area since 1975. Founded by Art Hird, the company began by recognizing a need for well-built gates paired with reliable access control systems. Over the decades, A&D has installed more than 4,500 gates, including projects at iconic locations like the Transamerica Building and Apple Park. Their work spans swing, slide, bi-folding, and cantilever gates for both residential and commercial properties, using premium materials and modern automation. They also offer LED safety lighting and automated bollards. A&D’s early adoption of advanced access control led to lasting partnerships with some of the industry’s top manufacturers, who relied on their feedback for product testing. The company operates from two locations—Redwood City and Tracy—and continues to handle complex designs under Hird’s oversight. Many of their original installations still perform reliably today, reflecting their commitment to quality and long-term service.
