SECURITY GATES · ENNIS
Security Gates in Ennis, TX
Security gates for homes, shops and acreage — heavier frames, anti-climb tops, locks that cannot be reached through the bars, and automation that stays shut. We work across Ennis — Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms, Christian Meadows and the surrounding area.
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.
Heavier frames and pickets
Thicker steel and tighter picket spacing so the gate does not flex or give a foothold.
Anti-climb tops
Pointed pickets, spears or a solid top rail detail that makes it hard to go over.
Locks and hinges that hold
Shrouded latches, lock boxes, and hinges that cannot be lifted off the post.
Cameras and lighting coordinated
Mounts and conduit for cameras at the gate, with the electrical work done by a licensed electrician.

Why people call about this.
Something has gone missing
Trailers, tools and equipment walk off properties where the gate is easy to open.
The house is a long way from the road
On acreage, nobody sees who comes through the gate unless it is built to stop them.
The current gate is decorative
A light gate with a chain and padlock stops honest people. A security gate stops the rest.
ENNIS, TX
Security Gates in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Gates & Operators in Ennis
Out on Ennis acreage the drive gate usually sits at the road with the power up at the house, so it is often a wide double-swing or slide gate sized for a stock trailer or equipment and run by a solar operator, while gates in the newer subdivisions are closer to the house and simpler to wire.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
