Keypads, video intercoms, telephone entry, fob and plate readers, and security cameras — installed, integrated, and repaired by the people who build the gates.
Access control is what decides who opens your gate, and cameras are what tell you who did. Texas Gates installs and services both across Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Galveston counties, on gates we built and on gates we did not.
Because we fabricate, install, and service the gates themselves, the operator, the access device, the cameras, and the wiring are one job with one contractor responsible for all of it. When a keypad stops talking to an operator, there is no argument about whose problem it is.
The right answer depends on where the gate sits and what reaches it. A gate within sight of the house, on a property with power and network at the entrance, can run a hardwired keypad and a video intercom with no monthly cost. A gate at the end of a long drive, on acreage, or at a property with no conduit to the entrance usually needs a cellular system — CellGate is the standard answer in Houston, and we are certified installers. A gate used by dozens of residents or deliveries a day needs a directory and a managed credential list, not a shared code. We quote after a site visit, because signal strength and existing conduit at the gate decide more than the brand does.
A camera pointed at a gate records a car. A camera integrated with the gate records which credential opened it. We install gate, driveway, and perimeter cameras and tie them to the access system, so a keypad entry, a fob read, or a plate match triggers a recording tagged with who did it. That is the difference between footage you scroll through and a log you can search. Local recording carries no monthly fee; cloud retention and remote viewing do, and we show both in the quote.
Apartment communities, industrial yards, self-storage, and HOA entrances have a different problem than homes: turnover. Credentials have to be added and revoked without a technician visit, residents and vendors need separate access, and the entry log has to survive an incident review. We install managed telephone entry and controller systems that a property manager can run from a browser, and we handle the fire department Knox and emergency access requirements that Houston-area inspections look for. We also take over service on systems installed by someone else.
Call (346) 872-8671 or send a quote request and we call back within 30 minutes. The owner or a senior technician comes to the property, checks the operator, the wiring, and the cellular or network signal at the gate, and gives you a written quote on the spot. The $89 service call is credited toward an approved repair. Repairs are usually finished on the first visit. New access systems are typically installed within a week of approval.
CellGate (Watchman, OmniPoint, Entria, CG Readers), LiftMaster and myQ, DoorKing telephone entry and access controllers, Viking Access, and Apollo Gate operators. We repair most other brands including Elite, Linear, and Nice.
Access control is everything that decides who can open the gate: keypads, remotes, fobs and cards, intercoms, telephone entry, license plate readers, and the controller and app that manage them. Cameras are usually part of the same system so every entry is recorded.
For a single driveway gate near the house, a keypad plus a video intercom covers most needs. For long drives or acreage with no internet at the gate, a cellular system like CellGate is the standard answer. We recommend after a site visit, not before.
Yes. Most of our access control work is on existing gates. We connect to the operator's open input and confirm compatibility during the $89 service call.
Yes. We install gate, driveway, and perimeter cameras and integrate them with the access system so a gate open or keypad entry triggers a recording.
Yes. We install and repair access control and cameras across Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Galveston counties, from Conroe to League City and Katy to Kingwood.
Cellular systems carry a service plan for the connection and cloud features. Hardwired keypads, readers, and cameras with local recording do not. We show both in the quote.
Call and we answer within 30 minutes. The owner or a senior technician comes out, diagnoses, and gives you a written quote on the spot.
