Custom swing, slide & cantilever gates · Operators & access control · $89 service call
Magnolia is acreage and ranch country — High Meadow Ranch, Mostyn Manor, The Ranches at Pinehurst, Lake Windcrest — where long private driveways and larger lots make an automated gate about real security and access, not just looks. Texas Gates installs gates built for that life.
We install long slide and cantilever gates, heavy-duty swing gates, and solar-powered operators for drives with no power at the road, all fabricated to your opening. Owner-operated, licensed and insured, $89 service call, 30-minute callback across Magnolia and Montgomery County.
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 Magnolia. 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.
Magnolia's long ranch drives call for commercial-duty Viking and Apollo operators and frequently solar power, with LiftMaster systems on the more developed community lots.
Every driveway gate is only as reliable as the operator behind it. In Magnolia 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 Magnolia 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.
Magnolia's larger lots often mean the gate sits far from the house and sometimes far from grid power, so solar operators with properly sized battery backup are a common, reliable solution here. The sandy-to-clay soils and longer gravel drives also make footing depth, drainage, and slide-gate base prep especially important for a gate that keeps working in all seasons.
We install driveway and ranch gates throughout Magnolia and its acreage communities. For gate repair and service across the area, see our Magnolia gate repair page.
