Electric Gate Installation & Repair in Dallas-Fort Worth
Everlast Gates & Fence provides electric gate installation, repair, maintenance, operator service and access-control support for residential and commercial properties across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
How Electric Gates Work
Electric gates use a powered operator or motor to move the gate without manual opening and closing. A complete system may include the gate itself, operator, control board, power supply, remotes, keypads, intercoms, safety sensors, vehicle detection and other compatible access-control equipment.
The gate and operator need to work as one system. Gate alignment, hinges, rollers, tracks, electrical components, control devices and safety equipment can all affect how reliably the entrance opens and closes.

Types of Electric Gates
The right gate configuration depends on available space, traffic pattern, opening width, gate weight, security needs and how the entrance will be used.
Sliding Electric Gates
Sliding gates move horizontally and are often useful where side clearance is available but a swing path would interfere with the driveway or traffic. They can use an electric operator, backup power and safety sensors.
Swing Gates
Single or double swing gates open on hinges and can be automated when the property has enough swing space and a suitable operator setup.
Wooden Gates
Wood gates can be built in different styles, sizes and finishes and may be automated when the gate structure, weight and hardware are appropriate for the operator.
Custom Gates
Custom electric gates can be designed around the property's architecture, opening width, privacy goals, security needs and preferred operating style.
Bi-Parting Gates
Bi-parting systems use two gate leaves and can create a balanced entrance. Automated versions generally require coordinated operators and proper synchronization.
Ram or Link-Arm Operators
Ram and link-arm units can be used on swing-gate applications depending on gate geometry, frequency of use and the operator's rated capacity.
Electric Gate Access Control Options
Electric gates can work with multiple access methods depending on who needs entry and how the property is managed.
Card-Based Entry
Credential cards can be programmed for authorized users and disabled when access should be removed, making them useful for managed commercial properties and employee access.
Wireless Keypad Entry
Keypads provide code-based entry without requiring a physical card. Depending on the system, multiple codes can be managed for residents, employees or approved visitors.
Fingerprint Access
Biometric access can provide fast verification for permanent users when the selected access-control system supports fingerprint credentials.
See our gate access-control services for compatible entry-system options.
Is an Electric Gate a Complete Security System?
An electric gate can help control vehicle access and create a visible barrier, but the gate itself is only one part of a broader security strategy. Depending on the property, additional measures may include access controls, lighting, cameras, electric locks and other security equipment.
For reliable operation, safety devices and obstacle detection should also be considered as part of the gate system rather than added as an afterthought.
What Affects Electric Gate Cost?
Electric gate pricing varies based on gate material and size, opening configuration, operator capacity, access-control equipment, electrical requirements, site preparation, safety devices and installation complexity. Ongoing maintenance should also be considered when planning the system.
For an accurate project price, the property and gate requirements should be evaluated before the final equipment and installation scope are selected.
Electric Gate Safety & Installation Considerations
Automated gate systems should be installed and maintained with attention to entrapment areas, obstruction detection, electrical components, operator limits and the safety devices required for the specific gate configuration.
The current page references UL 325 as an important U.S. safety standard for automated gate operators. Installation requirements can depend on the system and site, so the equipment and safety setup should be evaluated for the actual gate being installed or serviced.
Common Service Checks
- Gate alignment and physical movement
- Operator or motor condition
- Safety sensors and obstruction detection
- Controls, remotes, keypads and access devices
- Electrical connections and power supply
- Wear on hinges, rollers, tracks and hardware
