Automatic Gate Installation in Richardson: what we see

In a mature city like Richardson, new automatic gate projects often replace an older manual or automated gate rather than start from scratch. That brings practical questions: whether existing posts, power and conduit can be reused, whether the HOA has rules for the street, and how the telephone entry at a community gate or the access system on a campus will tie in. Residential swing, community slide and commercial barrier arms each need different planning.

We survey what is there, confirm what the city and your HOA require, and decide which posts and wiring can stay. New footings are sized to the gate, power is checked for the operator load, and the operator is matched to the gate and its use. Safety devices go in to UL 325, with the gate to ASTM F2200. That applies in Prairie Creek or at a site near the President George Bush Turnpike.

Automatic Gate Installation in Richardson: questions

Can we reuse our existing posts and wiring for a new automatic gate in Richardson?

Sometimes. We test the wiring and check the posts for lean, rust and footing depth. Sound posts and wiring that suit the new operator can save work. Posts that have moved or wiring that is undersized or damaged should be replaced, since a new gate on old weak points will not last.

What safety features will my new automatic gate have?

Every new automatic gate we install includes entrapment protection to UL 325, typically photo eyes and edges covering the gate travel, and the gate is built to ASTM F2200 to reduce pinch and entrapment points. We also set the force and reversing, and show you how to use the manual release.

Gate Not Working Right Now?

We answer the phone 24/7. If you are stuck, call and we will talk you through the manual release before anyone arrives. See what counts as a gate emergency.
