Carlos, my gate opens but refuses to close. Is the motor fried?

90% of the time, the motor is fine. This is a Safety Sensor (Photo-Eye) issue. If leaves, spiders, or mud block the sensor lens, the gate thinks a car is in the way and stays open to prevent a crash. Wipe the lenses with a dry cloth first.

Why does my gate open by itself at night?

This is usually caused by one of three things: 1) Radio interference from a neighbor's device. 2) Moisture getting into a cracked control box. 3) A faulty 'Exit Loop' sensor in your driveway. We use scanners to diagnose the exact cause.

Can I open my gate manually if the power goes out?

Yes. Every operator has a manual release. For LiftMaster swing gates, use the key slot on the arm to detach it. For Sliding Gates, use the handle or foot pedal inside the motor box. We provide a full demonstration upon installation.

Is Solar power reliable for gates in Coppell?

Yes, IF you have the right setup. We install 20-Watt Panels and Dual 35Ah Marine Batteries. This gives you '7-Day Autonomy,' meaning your gate will run for a full week even in total darkness.

How do I keep ants out of my control box?

Ants love the heat from circuit boards. We seal all conduit entries with silicone and place professional ant bait inside the housing to prevent them from shorting out your $400 circuit board.

My driveway is sloped. Can I still have an automatic gate?

Yes. If a swing gate would hit the ground swinging uphill, we install a Sliding Gate or a specialized Lift-Hinge that allows the gate to rise as it opens.

Do you make custom wood gates?

Yes. We fabricate a custom steel frame first, then inlay the wood (Cedar or Redwood). This gives you the beauty of wood but the structural integrity of steel, ensuring it never sags.

Can you match a new automated gate to my existing wood fence?

Absolutely. By building a steel skeleton and inlaying matching planks, we create a seamless look that matches your fence line but operates with the reliability of a steel gate.

Choosing the Right Material: Iron vs. Wood

Your gate sets the tone for your entire home. We help you choose the right material for your aesthetic and budget:

Custom Wrought Iron: The gold standard for durability. Our iron gates are powder-coated to resist rust and can be designed with ornate scrolls or modern, clean lines. Perfect for pairing with Viking Access Systems‘ heavy-duty operators.

Cedar & Wood Composite: For total privacy, nothing beats the look of a solid wood gate. We use steel frames with stained cedar overlays to prevent sagging.

Steel Privacy Gates: Get the look of wood with the durability of steel. These are ideal for homeowners in Coppell, TX who want privacy without the maintenance of real wood.

Choose Your Style

We fabricate gates to match the unique architecture of your home.

Custom Wrought Iron (The Classic Choice)

Durable, elegant, and timeless. Iron gates offer high security while maintaining visibility.

Styles: Ornamental scrolls, spear-tops, or modern horizontal bars.
Finish: Powder-coated black or bronze for rust resistance and longevity.

Wood & Steel Privacy Gates

The perfect blend of strength and seclusion. We build a heavy-duty steel frame and inlay it with stained wood.

Materials: Western Red Cedar, Redwood, or composite materials.
Benefit: total privacy. No one can see into your driveway or yard.

Farm & Ranch Gates

Simple, functional tubular steel gates perfect for larger properties or rear-entry alley access.

Slide vs. Swing: Which is Right for You?

The layout of your driveway determines the type of gate mechanism we install.

Sliding Gates (Rolling Gates)

How it works: The gate slides horizontally along a V-track or cantilever system parallel to the fence.
Best For: Short driveways or sloped properties where a swing gate would hit the ground or a parked car.
Space Needed: Requires side clearance equal to the width of the driveway (plus 3 feet).

Dual Swing Gates

How it works: Two gates swing inward (or outward) like French doors.
Best For: Flat driveways with plenty of depth. This creates a grand, dramatic entrance.
Aesthetic: The most traditional and elegant look for luxury homes.

The Automation Upgrade

A beautiful gate deserves a powerful motor. We package every new installation with a professional operator system.

Motors:

High-cycle LiftMaster® or Viking™ operators sized for the weight of your specific gate.

Safety:

UL 325 compliant photo-eyes and obstruction sensors.

Solar Power:

We can install a solar-ready system so you don’t have to trench power lines across your yard.

Smart Access:

Control your new gate from your smartphone with myQ technology.

Frequently Asked Questions (New Gates)

How much does a custom gate cost?

Every project is unique. A simple tubular steel gate with an opener might start around $3,500. A fully custom wrought iron or wood privacy gate with masonry work and high-end automation typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes before we start.

Does a driveway gate increase property value?

Yes. A well-designed electric gate adds “perceived value” by boosting curb appeal and exclusivity. It is also a major selling point for buyers with children or pets who want a secure, enclosed yard.

How wide should my driveway gate be?

Standard residential driveway gates are typically 12 to 16 feet wide. We recommend a minimum of 12 feet to allow delivery trucks and emergency vehicles to enter comfortably.

Do I need a permit

Yes, most likely. The City of Coppell has specific zoning rules regarding fence height and setback lines. We handle the permit application process for you to ensure your new gate is 100% legal.
