San Antonio Gate Pros provides professional swing gates in San Antonio, TX for residential and commercial properties across the San Antonio area. Swing driveway gates are the classic San Antonio residential and ranch entrance, and on a flat drive with room to open inward there is nothing cleaner than a well-hung dual swing. They are also the design most punished by bad posts, because the entire gate hangs from two hinge points and every ounce of it is working to pull those posts out of plumb. Around here the right footing depends on which side of town you are on, and that is not a detail you can skip. South and east Bexar County is expansive clay that swells with a soaking rain and shrinks hard through August. A post set in a shallow hole there rides that movement until the leaves stop meeting, the latch will not catch, and the gate starts sanding an arc into the concrete. North of Loop 1604 you are into Hill Country limestone, which does not move but which has to be rock-drilled rather than augered, and that is where crews get tempted to stop short. We drill to the depth the gate actually needs, sized to leaf length, weight, and wind load, and we let the concrete cure before hanging anything on it. Hinges are the second failure point. We hang on greaseable ball-bearing hinges rated well past the actual gate weight, and we pitch the leaves a hair high so they settle level rather than starting level and dropping. Cane bolts and drop rods get sleeves set into the concrete rather than a hole drilled wherever the rod happened to land. Slope changes everything. On a driveway that climbs from the road, common on Hill Country lots, a conventional swing binds on the grade within a couple of feet. The fixes are real and we use all of them: rising-hinge geometry, articulated arm operators that follow the arc, underground operators buried at the pivot so nothing is visible, or a change of approach to a slide or vertical-pivot gate if the grade is genuinely too steep. We would rather change the design than sell you a gate that scrapes. Single versus dual is mostly opening width and wind exposure. A single leaf across a wide ranch entrance is a lot of lever and a lot of sail area, and spring storms out here supply plenty of wind to test both. Dual swing halves both the lever arm and the sail area and gives a symmetrical entrance at the cost of a second operator. When somebody calls about a dragging gate, the problem is the post rather than the gate more often than not, and we will say so before quoting a replacement you do not need.

Materials, equipment and how we do swing gates
The difference between swing gates that lasts and swing 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.
