Our team provides arc layout, hinge load checks and operator sizing, delivering a balanced pair for homes and a formal entry for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a modest 14 ft opening to a wide estate pair between stone columns.
From the first arc sketch to the final limit setting, our team handles the layout, the hinge loads and the hang. Serving Cedar Park along with Leander, Lakeway and Round Rock, we hang each pair so both leaves meet cleanly and stop quietly.
Request a free estimate, and we will check the arc, read the grade across your opening and price the pair before any steel is cut.
What you can hold us to
Cole, Crystal Falls, Leander
A wide hilltop drive with enough level room behind the line for both leaves
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Cole has a wide hilltop drive in Crystal Falls in Leander, with enough level room behind the line for both leaves. We hung two 8 ft leaves on ball-bearing hinges with linear operators and a loop detector for exit. The finished 16 ft pair in satin black tube steel cost an estimated $4,600 to $6,400 and took about 2 to 3 days on site. It is a balanced pair that opens as a car approaches from inside.
A two leaf swing gate suits a drive that is wide, fairly level and clear behind the line, because each leaf swings a full arc into the property. Two shorter leaves also put less weight on each hinge than one long leaf.
Cole's hilltop drive in Crystal Falls had that level room behind the line for both 8 ft leaves. A narrower entry may fit a single swing leaf better.
A double leaf swing entry with operators is estimated at $4,200 to $7,800 per system, and the opening width, the leaf weight and the post footings move that number most. A single swing leaf sits lower in the table below.

| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Tube steel single swing drive gate with operator | Est. $2,700 to $4,900 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Operator added to an existing gate | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
A pair is an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, while a single swing leaf with operator is an estimated 1 to 2 days. Adding a video intercom and keypad is an estimated $750 to $4,300 for about 4 to 8 hours, and putting operators on leaves you already own runs an estimated $1,900 to $3,700. Arc room, hinge loads and the number of operators can change these estimates, so the written quote that follows our measure of your opening sets the final price and the schedule.
The arc, the grade and the hinge load decide whether a pair works, and we check all three before ordering. The table shows how each one changes the design.
| Check | What goes wrong | Our fix |
|---|---|---|
| Arc clearance | Leaf hits a curb, planter or parked car | Open the leaves inward or shorten them |
| Drive grade | Bottom rail drags on a rising drive | Raise the hinge point or rack the pickets |
| Hinge load | Heavy leaf sags the post | Larger hinge, deeper footing, lighter infill |
| Meeting stile | Leaves close out of line | Adjustable stops and a latch plate |
On a rising drive the bottom rail must clear the highest point of the leaf arc, so a sloped drive is shot with a level before any gate type is chosen.
A pair of leaves normally gets one operator per leaf, because each leaf then moves under its own control and neither leaf drags the other. A single-operator setup with linkage exists for tight sites, but it is harder on one hinge post, so we use it only on light leaves. Maribel in Lakeway chose paired soft-stop operators for a flat-topped pair between limestone columns, an estimated $6,400 to $7,900 for a 16 ft opening in steel with oil-rubbed bronze powder coat. Cole's two 8 ft leaves in Crystal Falls run on linear operators with a loop detector for exit, an estimated $4,600 to $6,400. Anton's 14 ft galvanized pair in Leander and Renata's 14 ft arched pair in West Lake Hills are also automated dual swing jobs, at an estimated $4,300 to $5,900 and $5,600 to $7,600.
We trip the photo eyes and edges on both leaves before leaving the site, and each leaf has to reverse. A Round Rock pair needs a city-approved Knox key switch and a passed acceptance test, and a Lakeway pair needs a key switch for Travis County ESD #6 (confirm current text with the city). For a Cedar Park address, we put the question to the fire department with jurisdiction and record its answer on your quote.
Our steel gate material comparison explains the choices. If the drive is too short for an arc, a ground track sliding gate may suit it better.
We weigh each leaf, set the hinge posts and tune the stops ourselves, so the crew that hangs your pair is the crew that tests it. In 17 years and over 1,483 projects, the 18-month workmanship warranty has covered welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel on every pair.
We install dual swing gates across a 40-mile radius, with jobs in Leander, Lakeway and Round Rock, and the full list is on our service area page. A pair in Leander or Lakeway is an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, as are Georgetown and Steiner Ranch jobs on rock, and a single swing alternative in Cedar Park is an estimated 1 to 2 days. Limestone is common under Volente and West Lake Hills lots, so rock bits come with the crew for the hinge posts. Rollingwood and Shady Hollow need a city or fire check before the pair is ordered, and The Hills asks for association approval before anything else. Anton's Mason Hills pair and Cole's Crystal Falls pair each took an estimated 2 to 3 days. Cora's two leaves on the Slaughter Creek side of Shady Hollow got a new linear operator pair with battery backup. Clint's two leaves on Volente Road run DC operators off solar, because power was 400 ft away. Desmond's Travisso entry in Leander doubles the idea, with entry and exit lanes that each have a gate pair. Shirin's 1970s iron pair on Westlake Drive kept its cast scrolls through a blast and recoat, an estimated $2,000 to $2,800. Hollis went the other way on his Buttercup Creek corner lot, with a 16 ft single leaf at an estimated $3,100 to $4,300. Beckett's sloped Great Hills drive also took a single 14 ft leaf, cut to clear the grade, at an estimated $3,200 to $4,400.
A dual swing gate often pairs with gate access control and intercoms for visitors, a solar gate operator where power is far away, or an added operator for a gate you already own.
Mostly the opening width, the leaf weight and the footings: a double leaf swing entry is estimated at $4,200 to $7,800, and the written quote you sign sets the final figure.
A pair is an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, with the dates written into your quote.
Usually yes, since one operator per leaf keeps both leaves moving under their own control.
We shoot the grade with a level first, then raise the hinge point or rack the pickets so the bottom rail clears.
Each leaf needs a clear arc equal to its length, and we measure that arc at your gate line.
Yes, operators can go onto leaves you already own for an estimated $1,900 to $3,700.
Ask for a free estimate, and we will walk your gate line, check the arc and write a quote that names every part of the pair.
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.
