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.
Rolling slide gates
Gate rides a V-groove track set in a concrete strip across the drive.
Cantilever gates
Counterbalanced tail and roller posts beside the opening, with nothing on the ground in the drive.
Wide and commercial openings
Long spans for shops, equipment yards and lots where a swing gate would be too heavy to hang.
Ready for an operator
Built with the rack and the pad in place so a slide operator can go on now or later.

Why people call about this.
The drive is too short
A swing gate that opens inward needs a car length of room you may not have.
The grade runs uphill
A swing gate on a rising drive hits the ground. A slide gate moves across it.
The opening is wide
Past a certain span, leaves sag. A cantilever carries the weight on its own frame.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Sliding & Cantilever 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.
