Sliding Gate Installation in Southlake, TX

Estate driveway slides are one of the standard gate types in Southlake, chosen where a drive is too wide for swing leaves, slopes toward the house, or leaves no room for leaves to open inward. The gates themselves are often heavy ornamental iron, and the ground under them is clay that moves with the seasons. That makes the base of a slide gate the critical part. A track laid on a slab that later lifts or cracks becomes the source of most of the roller and chain wear on older slide gates.

We decide between a V-track gate and a cantilever design based on the drive surface and the space beside the opening. Footings and the operator pad are sized for clay, and the track or rollers are set level along the full run. The operator is sized for gate weight and cycles. Safety is built in: UL 325 entrapment protection with photo-eyes and edge sensors, and guards and mesh so the gate meets ASTM F2200. In Kirkwood Hollow or Clariden Ranch, we confirm what the city and your HOA require.
