SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Self-closing hinges and closers
Spring hinges or a closer that pulls the gate shut from any open position.
Self-latching, out of reach
A latch that catches on its own, mounted high enough that a small child cannot reach it.
Swinging away from the pool
Hung so a child pushing on it from outside cannot open it into the pool area.
Replacements in an existing fence
A new gate built to the opening in your aluminum, iron, wood or vinyl pool fence.

Why people call about this.
The gate does not close by itself
If you have to push it shut, it is not doing its job.
The latch does not catch
Usually a post that has moved. The latch is fine; the gate no longer meets it.
You are selling or insuring the house
An inspector or insurer will check the pool gate before anything else on the fence.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Pool Gates (Self-Closing) in Midlothian: what’s different here.
Midlothian is a fast-growing city in northwest Ellis County, about 25 miles southwest of Dallas where US-67 meets US-287, up from 35,125 people at the 2020 census to an estimated 41,000 in 2023. It is the center of the North Texas cement industry, with three cement plants and a steel mill, and new master-planned subdivisions have spread across the prairie around the older downtown, with Joe Pool Lake to the northwest. The City of Midlothian requires a fence permit with a site plan showing property lines, easements, right-of-way and existing buildings (Building Inspections, 215 N. 8th Street, 972-775-7161), master-planned subdivisions typically add HOA guidelines, and Texas811 locates come before any digging.
Gates & Operators in Midlothian
Midlothian drive gates are mostly side-yard gates on subdivision lots that need HOA approval and enough width for a trailer, plus entrances on larger lots at the edge of town, and gate posts set in shallow rock have to be socketed into it rather than sat on top so a heavy gate stays plumb.
The ground
The Austin Chalk escarpment runs north to south through Midlothian, so depending on the side of town a post hole can hit shallow limestone within a couple of feet or go down through heavy clay, and rock often has to be augered or broken to reach full depth.
Homes and lots
Mostly newer single-family subdivisions such as Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and Hawkins Meadow, a smaller stock of older homes near downtown, and larger lots and acreage on the edges of town.
