Our crews work at occupied properties, phasing each swap around tenants' morning and evening traffic. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a single video intercom and keypad entry to entry and exit lanes, two cantilever leaves, one call box, and references are available on request.
From the first lane count to the final credential test, our team handles every apartment gate. Serving Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville and Georgetown, we agree a schedule with your office and keep one lane open throughout.
Request a free estimate, and we will count your units, walk both lanes and quote the gate and the access system on one written proposal.
What you can hold us to
Trina, Chisholm Trail Road, Round Rock
A garden apartment entry had two worn track gates and a call box tenants had stopped trusting, with tailgating at the exit lane.

Trina ran a garden apartment entry on Chisholm Trail Road in Round Rock with two worn track gates, a call box tenants had stopped trusting, and tailgating at the exit lane. We fitted entry and exit lanes, two cantilever leaves, one call box, in tube steel, black powder coat, and swapped one lane at a time. It ran an estimated 3 to 4 days, and the estimated range for that scope was $12,800 to $17,400. Both lanes now run on tenant credentials, and the fire key switch passed the acceptance test.
A trackless cantilever gate is typically estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system, and a video intercom and keypad entry at $750 to $4,300 per system. Two lanes roughly double the gate figure, which is how the Round Rock job reached an estimated $12,800 to $17,400 with its call box.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
These apartment gate figures are estimates that can change with steel and equipment prices, so your written quote sets the final price and the schedule.
A video intercom and keypad entry with a cloud login suits most properties, because the manager changes resident entries from a browser and nobody drives out to Cedar Park or Leander to reprogram it. Readers add speed for residents on a busy Pflugerville or Austin lane, and a keypad stays useful for vendors and deliveries.
| Device | Who it serves | What to ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud call box | Visitors calling a resident's phone | Does the entry have reliable cell signal or data? |
| Prox or mobile reader | Residents passing daily | Who issues and cancels credentials at move-out? |
| Free-exit loop | Everyone leaving | Is there room to stop tailgating at the exit lane? |
An apartment gate runs far more cycles than a house gate, so a residential operator and track wear out early on a Georgetown or Leander property. That is the case for a trackless cantilever gate, whose roller carriages and counterbalance tail keep moving parts out of the lane, and for a rack-and-pinion operator picked by leaf weight and daily cycles.
Tailgating is the second problem, so on a Round Rock or Hutto lane we set the stacking room, the loop position and the close timer together.
Only one lane is ever down during our swap, which kept residents moving at the Chisholm Trail Road job across its estimated 3 to 4 days. Credentials move over before the old device comes down, and your manager gets the schedule and a resident notice first.
The most common mistake is fitting a new video intercom and keypad entry in front of a worn gate, which only moves the complaint from the device to the leaf. The second is treating the exit lane as an afterthought, which is how the Round Rock property ended up with tailgating, and the third is leaving nobody in charge of credentials after move-out.
A planned community may need gated community entries, while gate access control covers devices in depth, cantilever gates explains the trackless leaf, pedestrian entry gates covers the walk gate beside a lane, and courtyard entry gates suit a courtyard building.
You get one written proposal for the tube steel, black powder coat leaves and the access system, and the same crew returns under the 18-month workmanship warranty if gate travel needs adjusting.
We work across the 40-mile radius around Cedar Park, with most multifamily entries in Round Rock, Pflugerville and Georgetown. Owners in Leander and Austin get the same two-lane review before any quote.
A trackless cantilever gate is typically estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system, and a video intercom and keypad entry at $750 to $4,300 per system.
Our two-lane Round Rock job took an estimated 3 to 4 days, and a single trackless cantilever gate takes an estimated 2 to 4 days.
Yes, because we swap one lane at a time, as we did across an estimated 3 to 4 days on Chisholm Trail Road.
Often, if it still works and its vendor still supports it, though the Chisholm Trail Road property replaced its box because tenants had stopped trusting it.
They reduce it when the loop, close timer and exit lane are set together, as on our Round Rock two-lane job, but no gate ends it completely.
Your office does, and we hand over the login so a manager in Round Rock or Leander can add and cancel residents after any video intercom and keypad entry goes in.
Request a free estimate, and we will walk both lanes, count your units and send one written proposal for the gates and the access system.
Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
