The gates at Graceland were manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, and were delivered to Graceland by a local firm.
      
The Tennessee Fabricating Co of Grime Street, Memphis, delivered and installed the gates on this day.
They raised an invoice on April 26th 1957 and Vernon paid by cheque, for $61 more than the invoice came to on May 13th 1957.
      
Found this on the web, kind of partly contradicts the paper trail:- “Dillard Doors Company” installed the Music Gate built by owner John Dillard on the driveway to Elvis' Graceland. The wrought iron gate was designed by Abe Saucer, an artist from Memphis.
      

	They've done a goood job so I won't shoot 'em.
