Custom swing, slide & cantilever gates · Operators & access control · $89 service call
Katy's master-planned communities — Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Cane Island, Firethorne, Grand Lakes — are full of family homes where a driveway gate adds security, privacy, and curb appeal. Texas Gates installs custom swing and slide gates across Katy, automated with the keypads, remotes, and smartphone access busy families actually use.
From a clean modern aluminum gate to a custom ornamental iron entrance, we fabricate to your opening and set it up so getting in and out is effortless — and safe, with proper loops and sensors. Owner-operated, licensed and insured, $89 service call, 30-minute callback.
From a single swing gate on a standard residential drive to a long cantilever slide gate across a wide entrance, we build and install every driveway gate style in Katy. We start with your grade, your fence line, and how much room there is to swing or slide, then recommend the configuration that will actually hold up on your property.
On materials we work in ornamental iron and steel for a strong, secure, custom look, aluminum for a lightweight rust-free gate that lasts, and wood for a natural finish. Every gate is fabricated and welded to your opening — no forcing an off-the-shelf size to fit.
Katy's residential drives are a natural fit for LiftMaster's residential operators and myQ smartphone control, with Apollo swing systems common on dual-gate entrances.
Every driveway gate is only as reliable as the operator behind it. In Katy we size and install LiftMaster, Viking, and Apollo gate operators to match the weight, length, and duty cycle of your gate — a heavy ornamental iron swing gate and a 30-foot aluminum slide gate call for very different motors. An undersized operator is the single most common reason a gate fails early, so we spec yours with real headroom.
The hardware underneath matters just as much. We install heavy-duty welded hinges and pivot posts set in properly poured footings, because a sagging hinge or a shifting post will misalign even the best operator. Already have a gate? We also handle gate motor repair and hinge replacement — rebuilding what is salvageable and replacing what is not, rather than selling you a full system you do not need.
A driveway gate is really an access-control system, and the accessories are what make it convenient and safe day to day. In Katy we install keypads and wireless remotes for everyday entry, plus smartphone control through LiftMaster myQ and CellGate so you can let in family, guests, or contractors from anywhere.
Underneath that, we install the detection hardware that keeps a gate from closing on a vehicle: in-ground loop detectors for free exit and safety reversing, photo-eye sensors, and edge sensors. For multi-resident or commercial entries we add DoorKing telephone entry and video intercoms. Loops, remotes, keypads, intercoms, and cloud access are all configured and tested before we leave.
Much of Katy sits on flat Gulf Coast prairie with a high water table and well-known drainage considerations, so we pay close attention to footing depth, conduit sealing, and operator placement to keep moisture out of the electronics. The level terrain is ideal for both swing and slide gates, which gives Katy homeowners flexibility on style.
We install driveway gates throughout Katy's master-planned communities. For gate repair and service across the area, see our Katy gate repair page.
