San Antonio Gate Pros provides professional cantilever gates in San Antonio, TX for residential and commercial properties across the San Antonio area. Cantilever gates cross the opening without ever touching the ground, carried on roller assemblies mounted to posts behind the opening and balanced by a counterbalance tail running back along the fence line. No ground track means nothing to fill with caliche and gravel, nothing to trap runoff when a Hill Country storm dumps three inches in an hour, and nothing for a loaded eighteen-wheeler to flatten, which is why cantilevers are the standard at industrial yards and busy gated entrances across Bexar County. Understanding the trade tells you immediately whether one suits your site. The counterbalance tail generally needs roughly half the clear opening width again in unobstructed back-run along the fence. A twenty-foot opening wants about thirty feet behind it. If that space exists, a cantilever is the most trouble-free slide gate you can own. If it does not, no amount of engineering conjures it, and we will point you at a roller gate or a dual swing rather than shoehorning in a cantilever that fouls on a transformer pad. Construction is where cantilevers separate from each other. The frame carries its entire weight in bending and never gets ground support, so it has to be genuinely stiff. We build 14-gauge galvanized truck-rated frames with internal diagonal bracing and the cantilever track welded into the assembly rather than bolted on afterward. Post footings are the other half, and they are sized for the moment load the gate applies as it rolls out rather than for dead weight, drilled to depth in clay or rock-drilled into limestone depending on where you are. Undersized posts lean toward the opening over time, the gate loses running clearance, and the roller assemblies start destroying themselves. Roller assemblies are consumables whatever anyone tells you. Sealed cantilever roller sets need periodic inspection, and on a high-cycle commercial gate they will eventually need replacement. Doing that on schedule costs a fraction of doing it after a seized roller has scored the track and racked the frame, which is why roller inspection is part of every commercial maintenance visit we run. We install cantilever gates for distribution and contractor yards, self-storage, HOA and apartment entrances, and institutional sites, paired with Class III and Class IV operators, correctly placed loop detectors, and access control matched to traffic. We also service existing cantilevers regardless of who installed them: replacing worn rollers, re-plumbing racked posts, straightening bent tail sections after an impact, and re-aligning operators that have been loading the frame unevenly.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, ranch entry gates and pipe fencing, truck-rated cantilever slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve San Antonio and nearby communities including Alamo Heights, Schertz, Converse, Universal City.

Materials, equipment and how we do cantilever gates
The difference between cantilever gates that lasts and cantilever gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, ranch entry gates and pipe fencing, truck-rated cantilever slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every San Antonio job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in the San Antonio area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
