San Antonio Gate Pros provides professional ornamental steel gates in San Antonio, TX for residential and commercial properties across the San Antonio area. Ornamental steel gates deliver most of the presence of wrought iron at a friendlier price, and when they are hot-dip galvanized before coating they will outlast the driveway they sit on. We fabricate ornamental steel driveway gates in San Antonio from 14-gauge and 16-gauge tube sized to the actual span, with fully welded corners rather than the bolted brackets that come on prefabricated panels. The gauge question is worth settling before you sign anything. Sixteen-gauge is perfectly adequate for a ten-foot single leaf on a flat drive with a light operator. Push out to a fourteen-foot leaf, add a solid privacy panel that catches a spring storm gust like a sail, or hang it where a driveway falls toward the street, and sixteen-gauge starts to flex at the hinge stile until the top outer corner drops. We spec fourteen-gauge on those openings and add a hidden internal brace so the geometry survives the first severe weather season. Bolted corners are the other quiet failure. They look tidy, they save the fabricator ten minutes, and they work loose the first time a delivery driver nudges the gate or a kid swings on it. Style runs from plain flat-top through spear-top, pressed point, arched, and radius crowns, with rings, scrolls, and cast collars if you want ornament, or a completely clean picket if you do not. Solid backing panels behind the pickets buy privacy without going to a full slab, which is the usual answer on a corner lot facing a busy street inside Loop 410. Powder coat holds satin black, textured bronze, or a matched HOA color for years and shrugs off the branch scrape that would take enamel to bare metal. Two things we do regardless of design: coat the inside of the tube, and put weep holes in the bottom rail. Water standing in a sealed bottom rail through a South Texas summer is precisely how a five-year-old gate becomes a rust project, and it is entirely avoidable. On the service side we repair ornamental steel gates of any origin, including the builder-grade panel gates that came with a lot of the newer subdivisions out toward 1604. Typical work is re-welding corners that have worked loose, replacing bent or missing pickets, straightening a bowed top rail, re-hanging on greaseable ball-bearing hinges instead of the barrel hinges that shipped with it, and drilling and sealing tubes the factory closed up. We can also cut a gate down or widen it when a driveway gets re-poured and the opening changes.
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 ornamental steel gates
The difference between ornamental steel gates that lasts and ornamental steel 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.
