Automatic Gate Installation in Plano: what we see

Planning comes first on a Plano installation. Many neighborhoods have HOA architectural rules on gate style, height and color, and some streets have setback or sight-line requirements near the curb. We confirm what your HOA and the city need before ordering anything, so the gate is not built twice.

The ground matters as much as the gate. Plano sits on expansive clay that moves with the seasons, so posts and operator pads need proper footings, and slide gate tracks need a stable concrete base. We also plan where the gate will be powered from and how the wiring will be run, because a gate fed from a long, undersized cable will struggle from its first day.

Automatic Gate Installation in Plano: questions

Should I choose a slide gate or a swing gate for my Plano driveway?

A slide gate needs clear space along the fence line beside the opening, and a swing gate needs clear space for the leaves to swing into. Slope matters too: swing gates on a drive that rises from the street need careful setup. We look at your site and recommend the one that fits it.

What safety features does a new automatic gate need?

Entrapment protection that meets UL 325, typically photo-eyes and contact edges positioned for your gate, plus a gate built to ASTM F2200 so there are no gaps that can trap a hand or a child. We include these as standard rather than as extras.
