Automatic gate installation & access control
Automatic driveway gates, swing gates, slide gates, keypads, telephone entry and card access — designed and installed as one system with your fence, not bolted on as an afterthought. Residential and commercial gate contractors serving South & Central Florida.
Swing Gates
Single or double drive gates on hinges, manual or fitted with an electric operator. We build the gate frame to match your fence material — wood, vinyl, aluminum or iron — and size the posts and footings for the extra load an automated gate puts on them.
- Best for
- Standard driveways, HOA entrances, estate entries
- Power
- Standard electric, low-voltage or battery-backup options
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Slide Gates
Cantilever or track-mounted slide gates for tight driveways, sloped entries, or commercial and industrial lots where a swing gate's arc won't fit. Slide gates pair especially well with commercial-grade automatic operators for high-cycle daily use.
- Best for
- Narrow driveways, commercial lots, high-traffic entries
- Power
- Standard electric, low-voltage or battery-backup options
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Keypad Entry Systems
A standalone, weatherproof keypad mounted at your gate or entry point, programmed with individual or shared access codes. We can retrofit a keypad onto an existing manual or automatic gate in most cases, without replacing the whole system.
- Best for
- Rental properties, gated communities, staff & vendor access
- Power
- Standard electric, low-voltage or battery-backup options
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Telephone Entry & Intercom Systems
A call box at the gate that dials a resident's or tenant's phone, with a remote-unlock code they can press from anywhere. Options range from a simple single-tenant intercom to a full directory system for gated communities and multi-tenant commercial properties.
- Best for
- Multi-tenant properties, gated communities, front offices
- Power
- Standard electric, low-voltage or battery-backup options
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Card, Fob & Credential Access Control
Card and fob readers integrated with your gate operator, ideal for HOAs and property managers who need to issue, track, and revoke individual resident or employee credentials without changing a shared code every time someone moves out.
- Best for
- HOAs, gated communities, commercial & industrial sites
- Power
- Standard electric, low-voltage or battery-backup options
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Solar Gate Operators
For farm, ranch, and rural entries far from a power line, a solar panel and battery keep an automatic gate operator running with no electrical trenching required — a common request across Okeechobee, Glades, Hendry, and western Martin and Palm Beach counties.
- Best for
- Farm & ranch entries, rural properties, off-grid gates
- Power
- Solar or battery, no trenching required
- Works with
- New installs or retrofit onto existing gates
Automating a gate you already have
In many cases an existing manual gate can be automated. Before we recommend an operator we check the gate frame and posts, the gate’s weight, the swing or slide geometry, power at the gate and the safety requirements. Where power is far away, a solar operator avoids trenching. If the gate itself needs work first, see gate repair.
What we ask for an automatic gate quote
- New gate or existing gate; swing or slide; single or double
- Approximate driveway width, and whether there’s electrical power near the gate (or you prefer solar)
- Residential, HOA or commercial — and roughly how many openings a day
- How people should get in: keypad, remotes, intercom or phone entry, phone app, card or fob, vehicle loop
- The property address and a few photos of the opening
We don’t size a gate operator over the phone — we confirm on a site visit and put the equipment and scope in a written proposal.
Automatic gate questions
In many cases, yes. We first check the gate frame, posts, weight, swing or slide geometry, power and safety requirements.
Yes, depending on the existing posts and the fence’s condition. We inspect it and quote the gate separately.
Yes. Solar operators with battery backup are an option where running power to the gate isn’t practical.
Remotes, keypads, card readers, key fobs, telephone entry, intercom and video intercom, vehicle loop detectors, and smartphone-compatible systems when the selected equipment supports it.
Yes. We handle many gate repairs and adjustments — see gate repair.
Adding access control to an existing gate?
In most cases we can retrofit a keypad, intercom or card reader without replacing your current gate.
