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.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Security Gates 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.
