Swing Gate Installation in Dallas, TX

Wrought iron swing gates suit the character of many Dallas neighborhoods, from estate entrances in Preston Hollow and Devonshire to the older streets of Kessler Park and Lakewood. They need room for the leaves to open and a reasonably level drive. Their weakness is the post. A heavy iron leaf hangs off its hinge post like a lever, and Dallas clay swells and shrinks enough to tilt a post set too shallow. That tilt drops the leaf, throws off the latch and loads the operator on every cycle.

We size posts or masonry columns and their footings to the leaf weight and the soil, setting them deep enough to resist movement. We choose an operator for leaf length and weight, then position the arms so the gate clears the drive, walls and landscaping. Photo-eyes and entrapment protection follow UL 325, and the gate is built to ASTM F2200. We confirm what the city and your HOA require on height, style and setback.
