Cedar Park Metal Gates is the Texas capital region's trusted expert in gated community entries for HOA boards and property managers, specializing in paired entry and exit lanes, visitor directories, resident readers and fire access devices. We handle projects from a 1-lane entry to a 4-lane entry with a guard-house island, and the pedestrian gates that sit beside them.

Our crews work occupied communities, replacing one lane at a time and phasing each swap around resident traffic so no one is shut out. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we have completed over 1,483 projects, from a single operator swap to full community entry rebuilds, and references are available on request.
From the board walk and the lane count to the acceptance test and the handover to the manager, our team handles the parts of an entry project that decide whether residents notice it. Serving Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock and Georgetown, we hold the board's schedule, keep one lane open at all times, and turn every entry over ready for the fire department acceptance test.
Request a bid with your lane count, resident count and target dates, and we will schedule a board walk.
What you can hold us to
Desmond, Travisso, Leander
An association board replacing a pair of sagging entry gates without shutting out residents
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Desmond, writing for an association board in Travisso, Leander, needed sagging entry gates replaced without shutting out residents. We built steel with a black powder coat, with entry and exit lanes and two gate pairs, and a directory with visitor codes. The job was an estimated $9,800 to $14,200 and took an estimated 4 to 6 days.
The table sets the common community entries side by side.
| Entry | Typical gate | Weak spot | Est. investment per system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small subdivision | Double leaf swing entry with operators | Swing arc needs space | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 |
| Wide two-lane entry | Trackless cantilever gate | Long tail needs a clear fence line | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 |
| Resident and visitor lanes | Track slide gate with rack drive | Debris in the track | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 |
| Visitor call box | Video intercom and keypad entry | Needs data and power run | Est. $750 to $4,300 |
On a Travisso or Crystal Falls slope, a swing pair needs a stop and a leveled apron. On a flat Wolf Ranch or Twin Creeks entry, a slide gate with rack drive is often the cleaner lane.
Two leaves on heavy hinges for a wide drive with level swing room behind the gate
Roller carriages and a counterbalance tail for sloped drives and heavy use
A leaf on a V-track where the drive is flat and has side room for the open 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
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per lane | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per lane | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Track slide gate with rack drive | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 per lane | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Operator added to an existing gate | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 per gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Per-lane figures are estimates that can change with lane width, duty rating and the length of the power run. The written quote built from the entry survey and the board walk sets the final price and the schedule.
Crystal Falls and Travisso entries sit under the Leander Fire Marshal's Knox Box guidelines (confirm current text with the city). A Round Rock community entry needs the city-approved Knox key switch and a passed acceptance test before the lanes run. In Lakeway the owner gives police the codes and fits a key switch for Travis County ESD #6, which is also worth confirming with the city. A hardwired 120V operator needs an electrical permit.
A video intercom and keypad entry job sits near an estimated $750 to $4,300 per system, and visitor codes can be issued by the board or the manager.
The steps run the same on every Cedar Park community:
Occupied communities get phased gate work, with one lane kept open until the next is hung and tested. Desmond's board had both pairs swapped lane by lane over an estimated 4 to 6 days, and our lead welder fabricated the leaves in our shop so the site time stayed short.
Every entry carries our 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge alignment and gate travel, plus the operator maker's parts warranty. Our owner has watched 17 years of Cedar Park communities grow, and 1,483 projects show in the references we offer.
We bid community entry work across a 40-mile radius of Cedar Park, from Leander and Georgetown subdivisions to Round Rock and Lakeway associations. Communities in Steiner Ranch, The Hills and Volente are within reach as well. If you own one home gate, the home page is the better starting point.
Each commercial buyer has a page built for its property: yards and business parks start at commercial gates, a full perimeter is covered by security fencing, and a manager with several automated gates can look at gate service contracts. An apartment or condo property has its own page for multifamily gate access.
From a 1-lane entry to a 4-lane entry, and the board walk confirms the scope.
Yes, a survey and lane count are enough for a first bid, and the board walk confirms the final scope.
A two-lane rebuild took an estimated 4 to 6 days in Travisso, and the bid names the dates.
Through a Knox key switch or Knox Box, set to the rule of the city, as in Crystal Falls.
Yes, one lane stays open while the next is rebuilt.
Yes, a quarterly plan is an estimated $90 to $110 per gate per visit, and the details are on our service contracts page.
Request a bid with your lane count, resident count and target dates, and we will schedule the board walk.
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.
