Sliding Gate Installation in Carrollton, TX

Slide gates are common on Carrollton’s industrial and distribution properties because they handle wide openings and do not swing into truck traffic. On homes they suit short drives and sloped lots where a swing gate would hit the ground. The deciding factors are the space beside the opening for the gate to roll back into, and the ground it runs over. A track gate across a gravel yard collects debris in the track. A cantilever gate rides on rollers set beside the opening and leaves the ground clear.

For yards near I-35E and Hebron Parkway, a cantilever design is often the better choice for exactly that reason. We set footings for the track or roller posts, choose an operator rated for the gate weight and cycle count, and install the rack or chain level and true. ASTM F2200 sets guarding for rollers and the gap at the gate end, and UL 325 covers the operator, photo-eyes and edges. For homes, we confirm what the city and your HOA require before work begins.
