Automated Gates - Arlington, TX

Automated & Electric Gates in Arlington, TX

We design, weld and install custom automated and electric gates in Arlington and across DFW, building the steel and the automation together so the finished system fits your opening.

01

Swing and slide

Swing gates suit level driveways with room to clear the arc; slide gates suit shorter or sloped entries. We match the operator to the gate's size, weight and balance, not the other way around.

02

Access and control

You choose how it opens: keypad codes, weatherproof remotes, smartphone control, or intercom entry. We add vehicle loops for driveways, plus solar power for entries set back from the house.

03

Safety built in (UL 325)

We install operators and entrapment protection to UL 325: monitored photo-eyes or safety edges that stop and reverse the gate if something is in the way, in both directions.

04

Power, solar and install

We plan the power from the start — a licensed electrician for the hookup, or solar for gates far from the house — then install and tune the operator so it runs smoothly in the Texas heat.

Common questions

Can you automate my existing gate, or do I need a new one?
Often we can retrofit an operator, as long as the gate is structurally sound, hangs true and is the right weight for a motor. We check the gate, posts and hinges first and tell you straight.
How much does an automated driveway gate cost in DFW?
It varies with size, material, finish, operator and site. A rough DFW guide: complete new systems run from the low thousands into the mid five figures; automating an existing gate is usually less. Contact us for an exact quote.
Is an automatic gate safe around kids and pets?
Yes, when installed correctly. We follow UL 325, with monitored photo-eyes or safety edges that stop and reverse the gate in both directions. Modern operators will not run if those devices are missing or faulty.
