Cedar Park Metal Gates is the Texas capital region's trusted expert in commercial gates for property managers, general contractors and yard owners, specializing in trackless cantilever truck gates, rack-drive slide gates, operators with photo eyes and edges, and Knox key switches. Our range runs from a 14 ft storage lot gate up to a 40 ft truck entry, including wide openings where a vehicle gate, a walk-through gate and card readers have to be delivered together.
Request a bid or a site walk
We stage the work at occupied yards, warehouse lots and office parks so the dock keeps receiving trucks and tenants never lose their way in. With 17 years in business, an 18-month workmanship warranty and over 1,483 projects behind us, the scope can be as small as one operator swap or as large as an entire perimeter, and references are available on request.
From the first walk of the property to the fire department acceptance test and the closeout notes, with the duty-class review in between, our team handles the steps that make a gate finish on time. Serving property managers in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown and Leander, we keep a schedule you can plan around: delivery windows are respected, a yard that needs its entrance clear by morning gets it, and the gate is handed over ready for the inspector.
Request a bid by sending your site plan, the number of gates and the dates you are aiming for, and we will book a walk of the property.
What you can hold us to
Lorna, Chisholm Trail Road, Round Rock
A property manager at a contractor yard with box trucks in and out all day
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Lorna's contractor yard on Chisholm Trail Road in Round Rock had box trucks in and out all day, and a property manager who could not lose a delivery window. Lorna's 26 ft cantilever in hot-dip galvanized steel with a dark powder coat has a Knox key switch, and we phased the work around the morning truck rush. The job was an estimated $7,400 to $9,600 and took an estimated 3 to 4 days. On the first try, it cleared the Fire Marshal's acceptance test.
Which vehicles use the entry, and how many times a day, settles the gate type before cost does. The table lines up the usual business, industrial and storage entries.
| Entry | Typical gate | Weak spot | Est. investment per system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truck yard or contractor lot | Trackless cantilever gate | Long tail needs clear fence line | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 |
| Flat storage or office lot | Track slide gate with rack drive | Debris in the track | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 |
| Wide entry with two lanes | Double leaf swing entry with operators | Swing arc needs space | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 |
| Existing manual gate | Operator added to an existing gate | Frame must be sound | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 |
A level lot in Round Rock or Georgetown is usually served at the lowest cost by a track slide gate with rack drive. A sloping Leander or Lakeway entry suits a trackless cantilever, which rides above the grade with no track to clog.
A leaf on a V-track where the drive is flat and has side room for the open gate
Two leaves on heavy hinges for a wide drive with level swing room behind the gate
Motor, photo eyes, edges and remotes fitted to a sound leaf
Pedestal or column entry device tied to a phone app and resident codes
Roller carriages and a counterbalance tail for sloped drives and heavy use

| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Track slide gate with rack drive | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Operator added to an existing gate | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 per operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |

Treat the numbers above as budget estimates for yards, lots and office entries; they can change with gate length, duty rating, the length of the power run and the access devices you pick. Only the written quote, built from your site plan, the specification and the walk of the property, sets the final price and the schedule.
Count who drives through before anything else on a business entry, since a lot open to the public cycles harder than a private yard. A hardwired 120V operator needs an electrical permit, and every automated commercial gate we set gets photo eyes, safety edges and a reverse test before handover. In Round Rock, a gate on a commercial lot needs a key switch the city has approved and must not operate until the Fire Marshal signs off the acceptance test (confirm current text with the city). Commercial gates in Leander follow the Fire Marshal's Knox Box guidelines, the same ones published for Crystal Falls and Travisso (confirm current text with the city). A Lakeway lot asks its owner to hand codes to the police and fit a key switch for Travis County ESD #6 (confirm current text with the city).
On a business lot, employees, truck drivers and firefighters each need their own way through the gate. A keypad fits employees, a video intercom fits drivers and visitors, and a Knox key switch fits the fire department. A video intercom and keypad entry job runs an estimated $750 to $4,300 per system.
Every bid we write starts with a walk of the property and ends in a written scope naming each component. The steps do not change between a yard, a warehouse and an office park:
An occupied property is worked in stages, and the existing gate stays in service until its replacement is hung and tested. At Lorna's yard the cantilever was set after the morning truck rush, so no delivery had to wait. Where there are two lanes, one stays open while the other is rebuilt, and our lead welder builds the gate in our shop so time spent on your lot stays short.
Managers and contractors hire us because a single crew welds the gate, hangs the operator and connects the safety devices, which leaves one name to call about the entrance. Each commercial gate is covered by our 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge alignment and gate travel, along with the operator maker's parts warranty. Our owner has seen 17 years of Cedar Park yards grow, and the 1,483 projects behind that show up in our references.
Our commercial bids cover a 40-mile circle around Cedar Park, taking in Round Rock and Georgetown yards as well as Leander and Lakeway office lots. Business properties near Steiner Ranch, The Hills and Volente fall within it too. If you only need one residential gate, begin at our home page.
Different buyers have different pages: association boards planning gated community entry systems, yard owners fencing the whole line see commercial security and perimeter fencing, and managers running several automated gates can set up gate service contracts.
One operator swap or a walk gate qualifies, for example an operator added to an existing gate at an estimated $1,900 to $3,700.
Yes, a site plan plus the gate count is enough to open a first bid, and the walk of the property confirms the scope.
A trackless cantilever gate is an estimated 2 to 4 days on site, with the exact dates set in the written bid.
They use a Knox key switch or a strobe sensor configured to the city's rule, as at Lorna's yard.
Yes, one lane stays open while the other is rebuilt, and we plan around your delivery windows.
We do, and a quarterly service plan for a commercial gate is estimated at $90 to $110 per gate per visit; the details are on our service contracts page.
It depends on who drives in and how often, because a lot open to the public in Georgetown or Leander works an operator harder than a private yard, so we size it to that traffic.
Request a bid by sharing your site plan, the gate count and the dates you want, and we will set up the walk that starts it.
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.
