What you can hold us to
Sunita, Lake Austin side, Steiner Ranch
A family juggling landscapers, deliveries and teenage drivers with one shared code
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Sunita's Lake Austin side entry in Steiner Ranch got a stainless video intercom on a stone column, with separate timed codes for each household helper. Sunita's family was juggling landscapers, deliveries and teenage drivers with one shared code. The finished setup is one entry point, two phones, 12 codes, and a phone log of every entry for Sunita. The job was an estimated $1,900 to $3,600 and took an estimated 4 to 8 hours on site at the Lake Austin side entry. Each code can now be cut off without changing anyone else's.
Keypads suit households that share a few codes, video intercoms suit drives with visitors and deliveries, and phone-app entry suits owners who want a log. The table sets the four common methods side by side.
| Entry method | Best for | Weak spot | Who controls the code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keypad | Daily family use, a few helpers | Codes get shared | You, at the panel or by app |
| Video intercom | Visitors, deliveries, seeing who is there | Needs power and a signal | You, from a phone |
| Phone-app entry | Households that want an entry log | Depends on cell coverage | You, per person |
| Proximity remote or card | Residents with many daily trips | Lost remotes must be cancelled | The board or the owner |
On Volente and Lakeway hillsides, a cellular intercom usually beats a wired one, because a trench through cut limestone to a far-off column costs more than the device does. In Georgetown and Round Rock, where columns sit close to the house, a wired keypad is often the cleaner choice.

A video intercom and keypad entry job in Cedar Park typically costs an estimated $750 to $4,300 per system, with an estimated 4 to 8 hours on site. The device type, the wiring distance and the cellular or hardwired link move the price most.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Operator added to an existing gate | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 per operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Walkway or courtyard entry gate | Est. $650 to $1,450 per gate installed | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
A walkway or courtyard entry gate with a keypad lands near an estimated $650 to $1,450, while an operator added to an existing gate runs an estimated $1,900 to $3,700. A keypad on an existing post sits at the low end, and a video intercom with a phone app on a masonry pedestal sits near the top.
Read these as estimates, not promises. The device you pick, the cable run to the column and a cellular or wired link can change them, and the written quote we hand you after walking the gate sets the final price and the schedule.
A gate with a keypad or intercom still has to let the fire department in, and the rule depends on the city. Round Rock's Fire Marshal guidelines require a city-approved Knox key switch that overrides occupant controls, and the gate may not run until the Fire Marshal's acceptance test is complete; confirm current text with the city. For Crystal Falls and Travisso gates, the Leander Fire Marshal has Knox Box guidelines to follow (confirm current text with the city). A Hills of Lakeway owner is asked to give police the codes and fit a key switch for Travis County ESD #6, which is also worth confirming with the city.
We phone the fire department that covers your address before ordering, and that single call settles the switch, the strobe sensor and the parts list.
Pedestals in powder-coated aluminum or hot-dip galvanized steel match most gate finishes, and stainless faceplates hold up best against Texas sun. A stainless video intercom on a stone column, like Sunita's, needs its conduit set before the stone goes up. Entry devices also mount on steel gate posts or masonry columns. Wiring runs in conduit, never loose on the post, because chewed low-voltage lines are a repeat repair on this side of Williamson County.
Delivery and helper codes should be timed, so a landscaper's code stops working after the last mow. A shared code only works while everyone keeps it private, and it never does. We set a code per person, name each one in the panel and show you how to end one without touching the rest.
Neighbors who share a drive can add the second household as a separate code group, with its own log. A home with an operator already in place needs only the video intercom and keypad entry job.
Our owner has watched 17 years of Cedar Park entries age, and the 1,483 projects behind that show up in the wiring we leave behind. Every install carries our 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel, and the same cover reaches the wiring we add. The device itself carries the manufacturer's own cover, often 1 to 5 years on motors and boards.
Our lead welder builds the posts that carry the device, so customers in Old Town and Wolf Ranch get one crew for the metal and the electronics. Every video intercom and keypad entry job gets the same walk-through.
We set entry devices across a 40-mile radius of Cedar Park, with many of the video intercoms going to Steiner Ranch and Lakeway lake-side drives, and keypad upgrades along Round Rock streets. Shady Hollow, The Hills and West Lake Hills drives get the same device list, and Rollingwood and Volente owners get a call about city rules first. Every town we reach is listed on the service area page. Hollis in Buttercup Creek has a keypad set at car window height and a phone app on his 16 ft leaf. Desmond's association in Travisso runs a directory with visitor codes across entry and exit lanes. Lorna's Chisholm Trail Road yard in Round Rock added a Knox key switch on a continuous-duty operator. Wes's Quinlan Park Road side keypad in Steiner Ranch came back after a storm with a new board, surge protection and conduit. Jerome's Andice Road gate in Georgetown opens by long-range remote, because the house is 900 ft away. Joelle's 8 ft leaf on the Lohmans Crossing side in Lakeway has a shrouded lock and hinge caps, so the panel is not the only defense.
Entry control works best with a sound operator, so see gate operator installation for adding one, solar gate operators for drives with no power nearby, and pedestrian entry gates for the walk-in side of the property.
The device, the cable run and whether the link is cellular decide most of it, with a video intercom and keypad entry job an estimated $750 to $4,300 per system; your written quote has the final figure.
Yes, a cellular video intercom or app-based keypad opens the gate from a phone and logs each entry.
Yes, we set timed codes per person, and each one ends without touching the others.
Yes, we confirm the key switch or strobe sensor with the fire department having jurisdiction before the gate is ordered.
Most access control installs take an estimated 4 to 8 hours, and the date goes on your quote.
Yes, every operator we set has battery backup, so the gate keeps running through a short outage.
A keypad needs an operator to open anything, so a manual gate gets an operator added to an existing gate first, priced in the table above.
Yes, we pair the app, add the household and show you how to end a code before we leave.

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.
