Custom swing, slide & cantilever gates · Operators & access control · $89 service call
Richmond pairs historic Fort Bend charm with some of the area's fastest-growing master-planned communities — Aliana, Harvest Green, Long Meadow Farms, Lakes of Bella Terra. A custom driveway gate adds the security and curb appeal these neighborhoods are built around. Texas Gates designs and installs gates across all of Richmond.
From ornamental iron entrances to clean aluminum gates, we fabricate to your opening, automate with the right operator, and configure keypads, remotes, and smartphone access. Licensed, insured, $89 service call, 30-minute callback.
We install the full range of driveway gates in Richmond: 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.
Richmond's growing master-planned communities are a strong fit for LiftMaster myQ and CellGate cloud access, with operators sized for the custom iron gates common across Aliana and Lakes of Bella Terra.
The operator is the heart of any automatic driveway gate, and in Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
Fort Bend County's expansive clay soils move significantly with moisture, which is the main thing we engineer around in Richmond — deep, correctly spec'd footings keep posts from shifting and throwing a gate out of alignment. In the newer gated sections we also coordinate gate style and access hardware with community standards.
We install custom driveway gates across Richmond's master-planned communities. For gate repair and service across the area, see our Richmond gate repair page.
