Our Gate Services in San Antonio, TX
Wrought Iron Gates
Heavy iron is still the entry people want in San Antonio, and pricing one honestly starts underground. Before anyone talks about scroll patterns, somebody has to answer a simpler question: how far down does the auger get before it stops turning?
Ornamental Steel Gates
Ornamental steel gives you the look of forged iron out of formed tube, and on a rock lot that weight saving turns directly into money. Every pound you take off the leaf is load the foundation does not have to carry, and here the foundation is the expensive part.
Garage Gate Installation
Garage and parking-deck gates are the one category in San Antonio where none of the usual excavation problems apply. There is no hole to drill, because the structure already gave you a flat, engineered slab to bolt to.
Aluminum Gates
Aluminum is what we reach for when a driveway sits on rock. It will not rust, and a welded aluminum leaf weighs roughly a third what the same gate weighs in steel.
Wood Gates
Cedar reads right on a Hill Country entry in a way painted metal never does. Two things decide whether it still reads right in five years: what the gate hangs on and how the sun is handled.
Vinyl & Composite Gates
Vinyl and composite are popular around San Antonio for one legitimate reason: an HOA wants privacy and nobody wants to refinish wood. Where the product gets oversold is at the driveway, and the reason is not the panel.
Sliding Gates
Slide gates suit driveways with no room to swing, a wall close to the opening, or a street where a swinging leaf would reach into traffic. There are two ways to build one, and in San Antonio the choice usually comes down to what concrete already exists on your property.
Swing Gates
On limestone, a swing gate wins on arithmetic before anyone discusses looks. It needs two foundations.
Cantilever Gates
Cantilever gates are the standard answer for the wide entries around San Antonio: ranch drives, acreage lots, contractor yards and anywhere a thirty-foot opening has to clear in one movement. The gate hangs from roller trucks on posts to one side and nothing touches the ground across the opening.
Bi-Fold & Vertical Pivot Gates
Vertical pivot and bifold gates have a reputation as premium equipment, and on a limestone lot they are sometimes the cheapest sound design on the table. The reason has nothing to do with the gate.
Automatic Gate Operators
Automating a gate in San Antonio is usually an easy job with one hard part in the middle of it, and the hard part is not the operator. It is getting power and control wiring from the house out to a gate with a rock driveway sitting between the two.
Access Control & Keypads
Access control is where San Antonio sites get the best return, because most of the equipment mounts to things that already exist. A keypad on a column, a reader on a pedestal, a receiver in the operator box.
Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone entry lets a visitor find your name on a directory, press call, and reach your phone wherever you are. For gated communities and apartment properties it is the right product.
Safety Sensors & UL 325 Compliance
UL 325 is what stands between an automatic gate and a child, a pet or a vehicle in its path. Two independent means of entrapment protection are required in each direction of travel, external devices have to be monitored, and the operator has to match the site's usage class.
Gate Motors & Solar Power
Solar is not a compromise in San Antonio. On plenty of properties it is the cheaper option outright, because the alternative means getting conduit across limestone.
Custom & Ranch Entry Gates
An estate entry on the Hill Country side has an advantage most sites do not: the rock under it makes an excellent foundation. Once you have paid to cut into it, what you get back is masonry and ironwork that sits exactly where you put it for decades.
Security Fencing & Perimeter
This page comes with a budget warning. We build ornamental steel and aluminum fencing, welded panel and heavy commercial systems, and install a great deal of it.
Commercial & Industrial Gates
Commercial gates get judged on uptime. An apartment community entrance that jams strands residents in the street, and a yard gate that fails leaves trucks queued on a public road.
Welding & Gate Fabrication
We run our own metal shop, which on a rock market matters more than it sounds. Half the foundation solutions we use need a part made for the situation the drill found, and a contractor who only installs catalog parts designs around what is in the warehouse.
Emergency Gate Service
A gate that will not open strands you outside your own property. A gate that will not close leaves an apartment community open all night.

Wrought Iron Gates
Heavy iron is still the entry people want in San Antonio, and pricing one honestly starts underground. Before anyone talks about scroll patterns, somebody has to answer a simpler question: how far down does the auger get before it stops turning? Across much of Bexar County the answer is not far.

Ornamental Steel Gates
Ornamental steel gives you the look of forged iron out of formed tube, and on a rock lot that weight saving turns directly into money. Every pound you take off the leaf is load the foundation does not have to carry, and here the foundation is the expensive part. Setting a post in soil is an hour with an auger.

Garage Gate Installation
Garage and parking-deck gates are the one category in San Antonio where none of the usual excavation problems apply. There is no hole to drill, because the structure already gave you a flat, engineered slab to bolt to. That changes the whole conversation about cost.

- shop and workshop security gates

Aluminum Gates
Aluminum is what we reach for when a driveway sits on rock. It will not rust, and a welded aluminum leaf weighs roughly a third what the same gate weighs in steel. Where every foundation is cut rather than dug, that is a design decision with a price attached.
- aluminum driveway gates
- powder-coated aluminum gates
- rust-free aluminum gates
- lightweight automated gates
- aluminum pedestrian gates
- aluminum gate installation
- aluminum gate repair
- low-maintenance driveway gates

Wood Gates
Cedar reads right on a Hill Country entry in a way painted metal never does. Two things decide whether it still reads right in five years: what the gate hangs on and how the sun is handled. Here the first is a drilling question.

- steel-framed wood gates
- board-on-board privacy gates
- wood gate staining and sealing
- sagging wood gate repair
- wood gate re-slatting

Vinyl & Composite Gates
Vinyl and composite are popular around San Antonio for one legitimate reason: an HOA wants privacy and nobody wants to refinish wood. Where the product gets oversold is at the driveway, and the reason is not the panel. It is that switching materials does not save you the hole.
- vinyl driveway gates
- composite gates
- PVC privacy gates
- vinyl gate installation
- steel-reinforced vinyl gates
- composite slat gates
- vinyl gate repair
- low-maintenance privacy gates
- vinyl gate and fence packages

Sliding Gates
Slide gates suit driveways with no room to swing, a wall close to the opening, or a street where a swinging leaf would reach into traffic. There are two ways to build one, and in San Antonio the choice usually comes down to what concrete already exists on your property. A V-track gate rolls on wheels riding a steel track fastened to concrete, which sounds like the expensive option on rock and often is not.
- sliding driveway gates
- rolling gates
- V-track slide gates
- roller gate installation
- slide gate off track repair
- slide gate wheels and bearings
- slide gate operator installation
- slide gate track cleaning
- narrow driveway gates
- V-track cleaning and re-leveling

Swing Gates
On limestone, a swing gate wins on arithmetic before anyone discusses looks. It needs two foundations. A cantilever needs three or four and a slide track needs a poured run.
- swing driveway gates
- single swing gates
- dual swing gates
- swing gate operators
- articulated arm gate openers
- underground swing gate operators
- dragging swing gate repair
- swing gate hinge replacement
- swing gate post setting
- rising hinge geometry for slopes
- swing gate leaf re-hanging
Cantilever Gates
Cantilever gates are the standard answer for the wide entries around San Antonio: ranch drives, acreage lots, contractor yards and anywhere a thirty-foot opening has to clear in one movement. The gate hangs from roller trucks on posts to one side and nothing touches the ground across the opening. That last point is why the design suits this county.
- cantilever slide gates
- cantilever gate installation
- truck-rated cantilever gates
- cantilever roller replacement
- commercial cantilever gates
- no-track slide gates
- industrial slide gates
- cantilever gate counterbalance
- cantilever gate repair
- cantilever gate back-run layout
- cantilever tail straightening
Bi-Fold & Vertical Pivot Gates
Vertical pivot and bifold gates have a reputation as premium equipment, and on a limestone lot they are sometimes the cheapest sound design on the table. The reason has nothing to do with the gate. A vertical pivot needs one foundation, and here you pay by the hole.
- bi-fold gates
- vertical pivot gates
- fast-opening gates
- bi-folding speed gates
- vertical lift gates
- short driveway gates
- high-security bi-fold gates
- vertical pivot gate operators
- steep driveway gate solutions
- tight-clearance gate solutions
- bi-fold gate safety sensor layout
Automatic Gate Operators
Automating a gate in San Antonio is usually an easy job with one hard part in the middle of it, and the hard part is not the operator. It is getting power and control wiring from the house out to a gate with a rock driveway sitting between the two. There are three ways across and we price them against each other rather than defaulting to one.
- automatic gate opener installation
- swing gate operators
- slide gate operators
- LiftMaster gate openers
- DoorKing and FAAC operators
- Ramset and Apollo operators
- Class I-IV operator classifications
- gate operator repair
- gate opener control board replacement
- gate operator limit switch adjustment
- battery backup and surge protection
Access Control & Keypads
Access control is where San Antonio sites get the best return, because most of the equipment mounts to things that already exist. A keypad on a column, a reader on a pedestal, a receiver in the operator box. Little of it needs another hole in rock.
- gate keypad installation
- video intercom entry
- card and fob readers
- long-range tag readers
- smartphone gate access
- wireless gate keypads
- multi-user access codes
- keypad and remote repair
- vehicle exit loops
- gate access control for HOAs
- access control wiring and conduit
Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone entry lets a visitor find your name on a directory, press call, and reach your phone wherever you are. For gated communities and apartment properties it is the right product. For the smaller shared drives we get called about, it is more system than the problem needs.
- telephone entry systems
- DoorKing telephone entry
- gate directory systems
- apartment call box installation
- HOA telephone entry programming
- cellular gate call boxes
- landline to cellular conversion
- telephone entry repair
- resident directory updates
- gate directory code management
- call box enclosure replacement
Safety Sensors & UL 325 Compliance
UL 325 is what stands between an automatic gate and a child, a pet or a vehicle in its path. Two independent means of entrapment protection are required in each direction of travel, external devices have to be monitored, and the operator has to match the site's usage class.
Class I is a single-family residence, Class II is a multi-family or commercial property with general access, Class III is a commercial site with limited public traffic, and Class IV is a restricted site with trained supervision.
- photo-eye sensor installation
- UL 325 safety compliance
- gate entrapment protection
- safety edge sensors
- loop detector installation
- gate safety inspection
- warning signage and placards
- gate operator classification
- photo eye alignment and repair
- UL 325 retrofit upgrades
- photo eye reflector alignment
Gate Motors & Solar Power
Solar is not a compromise in San Antonio. On plenty of properties it is the cheaper option outright, because the alternative means getting conduit across limestone. Before you assume you need mains power at the gate, let us price both.
- solar gate openers
- solar panel gate kits
- off-grid gate power
- gate battery backup
- 12V and 24V gate motors
- solar charge controllers
- gate motor replacement
- battery replacement for gate operators
- ranch gate solar power
- solar gate system sizing
- charge controller replacement
Custom & Ranch Entry Gates
An estate entry on the Hill Country side has an advantage most sites do not: the rock under it makes an excellent foundation. Once you have paid to cut into it, what you get back is masonry and ironwork that sits exactly where you put it for decades. That changes how we design.
- custom estate gates
- ranch entry gates
- luxury driveway gates
- hand-forged entrance gates
- brand and monogram gates
- matching pedestrian entry gates
- stone column and gate packages
- oversized ranch entrances
- custom gate design
- matching estate fence packages
- forged finials and scrollwork
Security Fencing & Perimeter
This page comes with a budget warning. We build ornamental steel and aluminum fencing, welded panel and heavy commercial systems, and install a great deal of it. But on a limestone lot, fencing is the item most likely to blow up an estimate.
- security fencing installation
- wrought iron fencing
- ornamental steel fence panels
- aluminum fencing
- perimeter security fencing
- matching fence and gate packages
- anti-climb fencing
- pipe and cable ranch fencing
- commercial perimeter fencing
- self-closing pedestrian gates
- tight-picket anti-climb fencing
Commercial & Industrial Gates
Commercial gates get judged on uptime. An apartment community entrance that jams strands residents in the street, and a yard gate that fails leaves trucks queued on a public road. Every specification decision we make for a commercial site in San Antonio traces back to that consequence.
- commercial gate installation
- industrial gate systems
- gated community gates
- HOA and apartment gates
- warehouse and yard gates
- self-storage facility gates
- Class III and Class IV operators
- commercial gate maintenance contracts
- high-security gates
- loop detectors and free-exit systems
- commercial gate safety inspections
Welding & Gate Fabrication
We run our own metal shop, which on a rock market matters more than it sounds. Half the foundation solutions we use need a part made for the situation the drill found, and a contractor who only installs catalog parts designs around what is in the warehouse. Baseplates are the clearest example.
- custom gate fabrication
- on-site mobile welding
- structural gate repair
- gate frame re-welding
- metal fabrication shop
- post and hinge welding
- gate bracket and hardware fabrication
- railing and gate welding
- cracked weld repair
- handrail and guardrail welding
- gusset and bracing repair
Emergency Gate Service
A gate that will not open strands you outside your own property. A gate that will not close leaves an apartment community open all night. We run emergency service across Bexar County, and we triage on the phone first, because some of it takes five minutes.
- emergency gate service
- gate stuck open or closed
- same-day gate service
- after-hours gate repair
- gate operator down
- manual gate release
- power outage gate access
- storm damage gate repair
- vehicle impact gate repair
- emergency operator bypass
- weekend gate service
What San Antonio property owners ask us
Which gate services does San Antonio Gate Pros handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across San Antonio and the San Antonio area. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling gate work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What San Antonio Customers Say
Ranch entrance with our brand cut into the panel and a solar operator at the county road. They sized the panel to our actual traffic and it has run through two winters without a hiccup.
Short driveway, no room for a normal swing gate. They put in a bi-fold and it clears the sidewalk with room to spare. Nobody else who bid it even mentioned the option.
Our HOA needed the call box converted off the old phone line and the tag readers replaced. They did both, rebuilt the directory, and documented every code for the board.
Rock drilled the post footings properly instead of stopping when they hit limestone like the previous crew clearly did. Dual swing gate has stayed square through a full year.
Lightning took out the control board on a Sunday. They were out that afternoon, replaced it, added surge protection, and did not charge me a fortune for the timing.
Custom iron gate with hand-forged scrollwork that matches our courtyard gate. Clean welds, and they coordinated with our mason so the hinge posts are inside the stone columns.
