Custom swing, slide & cantilever gates · Operators & access control · $89 service call
Montgomery and the western shore of Lake Conroe are home to some of the area's most impressive gated estates — Bentwater, Grand Harbor, Walden, Del Lago, Crown Oaks. A driveway gate here is part of the property's presence and its security. Texas Gates designs and installs custom gates worthy of that setting.
We fabricate custom ornamental iron and steel estate gates, automate them with heavy-duty operators, and add the smart and cloud access lake-property owners want for managing guests and contractors remotely. Licensed, insured, CellGate-certified, $89 service call, 30-minute callback.
We install the full range of driveway gates in Montgomery: single and dual swing gates, slide gates, and cantilever slide gates for wider openings. The right choice depends on your driveway slope, the room alongside the opening, and how you use the entrance.
Material is the other big decision. Ornamental wrought iron and steel give you a classic, secure custom look and take automation well; aluminum is lighter and rust-free for long-lasting low maintenance; and wood or wood-clad gates suit a warmer, natural entrance. We fabricate and weld to your exact opening instead of forcing a stock size.
Montgomery's lake estates call for heavier LiftMaster and Viking operators on large custom iron gates, with CellGate cloud access popular for managing guest and contractor entry remotely.
The operator is the heart of any automatic driveway gate, and in Montgomery we match LiftMaster, Viking, and Apollo motors to your exact gate: its weight, its span, and how often it will cycle. A long slide gate on a busy drive needs a commercial-duty operator; a single residential swing gate does not. Getting that sizing right is what separates a gate that lasts fifteen years from one that burns out in three.
We build on hardware that holds up — forged hinges, reinforced pivot posts, and footings poured to depth so nothing shifts as the soil moves. For existing gates we offer gate motor repair, hinge replacement, and operator upgrades, diagnosing the real fault first so you only pay to fix what is actually broken.
What turns a gate from a barrier into a genuinely useful entrance is the access control around it. For Montgomery homeowners we set up wireless remotes and keypads for daily use and add smartphone access via LiftMaster myQ or CellGate's cloud platform — handy for granting one-time entry to a delivery or a service tech without handing out a code.
Safety and automation come from the detection layer: free-exit and safety loop detectors buried in the driveway, photo eyes, and reversing edges so the gate never closes on a car or a person. Where there are multiple residents or a manned entry, we add DoorKing telephone entry and intercoms. Every loop, remote, keypad, and sensor is programmed and tested on site.
Lakefront and waterfront-adjacent properties around Lake Conroe deal with higher moisture and periodic high water, so we elevate and seal operator and electrical enclosures and use corrosion-resistant hardware where it counts. Montgomery County's expansive clay also makes deep, correctly spec'd footings essential to keep large estate gates in alignment year-round.
We design and install custom estate driveway gates throughout Montgomery and the Lake Conroe communities. For gate repair and service across the area, see our Montgomery gate repair page.
