What you can hold us to
Garrett in Forest Creek had an 18 ft leaf on a flat drive beside a fence line, too short in front of the garage to swing, so we ran it on a track. It was an estimated $2,900 to $4,400 job that typically took 2 to 3 days, in line with the $1,700 to $4,800 estimate for a track slide gate with rack drive.
Lorna on Chisholm Trail Road had a 26 ft cantilever at a contractor yard, with box trucks in and out all day, and the gate carries a Knox key switch. It passed its acceptance test the first time, an estimated $7,400 to $9,600 project that typically took 3 to 4 days.
Round Rock's Fire Marshal publishes Emergency Access Controlled Gate Systems Guidelines, dated July 2023, that call for a city-approved Knox key switch giving the Fire Department round-the-clock access. The Knox key switch overrides occupant controls, and the gate may not operate until the Fire Marshal's Office acceptance test is complete. Confirm current text with the city before you order anything.
A trackless cantilever gate like Lorna's is estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days, and a double leaf swing entry with operators is roughly $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days, so we wire either one for the key switch from day one.
Round Rock has a large older stock, with 34% of homes built from 1980 through 1999 (ACS 2024), so many gates here are replacements or retrofits. Owner-occupied homes make up 55.5% of Round Rock housing (ACS 2024), the lowest share on our route, which puts apartment and multifamily entries in our weekly mix here.
Those entries often add a tube steel single swing drive gate with operator, estimated at $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days, beside an ornamental tube steel fence line at roughly $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days. A property manager on a busy entry also takes a quarterly gate service plan, estimated at $90 to $110 per gate per visit with visits typically lasting 1 to 3 hours.
Round Rock drives with a short run in front of the garage usually suit sliding gates on a track, while a wide commercial opening suits cantilever gates that clear the ground. A walkway or courtyard entry gate beside the drive is estimated at $650 to $1,450 over 4 to 8 hours, and a pool barrier with self-closing gate is roughly $32 to $44 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days.
A track slide gate with rack drive in Round Rock is estimated at $1,700 to $4,800, and the crew typically finishes in 2 to 3 days. An operator added to an existing gate is roughly $1,900 to $3,700 over 4 to 8 hours, and a video intercom and keypad entry runs an estimated $750 to $4,300 over 4 to 8 hours.
Round Rock's median owner-occupied home value is $418,600 (ACS 2024), the lowest on our route, so we price a plain, durable gate before any ornament. Round Rock prices here are estimates that can change once the Fire Marshal's key switch requirement is confirmed for your entry, and the written quote prepared after that check sets the final price and the schedule.
We work Forest Creek and the Chisholm Trail Road corridor, and the same crew that built Garrett's and Lorna's gates crosses into Georgetown and Leander the same week. Other towns on our route are on our service area page. Harold's six gates at Wolf Ranch in Georgetown get a logged inspection every quarter. Cole's two 8 ft leaves in Crystal Falls in Leander were an estimated $4,600 to $6,400 over 2 to 3 days.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to Round Rock is typically 17 minutes, so the crew that measures your entry is the crew that sets it. Round Rock is the second-closest town on our route, and a quick return trip is why we stand behind the 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set and footings, with operators under the maker's parts warranty.
Round Rock owners often pair a new gate with gate access control, and managers of busy entries ask about commercial gates. An older leaf with a tired motor usually needs gate operator installation. Apartment managers can start with apartment gate access.
