Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in dual swing gates, specializing in two-leaf steel frames, heavy ball-bearing hinges, dual operators and monitored safety sensors. We offer 16 ft double leaf entries, steel frames with picket infill and keypad or video intercom entry, plus solar power where a trench is not practical.
Our crew provides fabrication, hinge alignment and operator wiring under one roof, delivering gates that close flush for homes and dependable entries for both residential and commercial projects. Our workmanship warranty lasts 3 years and covers welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel; behind it sit 11 years in business and over 1,412 projects, the range being a 12 ft swing leaf to an 18 ft double leaf on an acre lot.
From the post footings to the hinge load and the dual operators, our team handles every part of a two-leaf system. Serving Georgetown and neighboring Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander and Serenada, we send the same crew that measured your drive to hang the leaves and commission the operators.

What you can hold us to
Isidro, off Bagdad Road, Leander
A new build whose builder gate was a thin pipe frame that sagged in the first year
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Isidro's builder-grade pipe-frame gate off Bagdad Road in Leander had sagged until the two leaves no longer met. For that 16 ft double leaf we built heavier frames, hung them on dual operators and added edge sensors; the estimated $5,200 to $7,400 job took an estimated 2 to 3 days. The leaves now close flush and the hinge line has held. A dual swing job like this one joins the 1,412 projects finished in 11 years and carries the same 3-year workmanship warranty.
A dual swing gate splits the load across two shorter leaves, while a single swing gate is simpler but heavier on one hinge line. The table compares the options for a drive in Georgetown, Round Rock or Lost Creek.
| Layout | Best fit | Est. complete system |
|---|---|---|
| Automated dual swing | A wide drive or a formal entry | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 |
| Automated single swing | A flat apron up to about 14 ft | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 |
| Ground-track slide | A narrow side drive with no room for an arc | Est. $1,500 to $5,000 |
| Trackless cantilever | A wide or sloped entry with a clear fence line | Est. $6,000 to $10,000 |
Two leaves sweep two arcs, so clearance and entrapment each need checking twice. Rollingwood's code asks that the vehicle sit fully off the street and that the gate open parallel to or away from the street, and Georgetown's code keeps a 25 ft sight triangle clear at corners. DASMA's guidance says most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction.
We build monitored photo eyes and edge sensors into every automatic swing in Cedar Park, Round Rock and Rollingwood, then test the reverse on each leaf. Texas law asks for 811 notice before any post hole, and a gate across a fire lane in Round Rock needs a Knox key switch or Opticom receiver. City rules change, so verify them with your city office first.
Every dual swing follows the same path from the first tape measure to the signed-off test:
Leaf weight is what pulls a builder gate out of line, so we size the hinges to the leaf and check the post footings before we hang a pair. Where the apron slopes, rackable panels follow a slope and steps are used where the grade is too steep to rack. A sloped Steiner Ranch or Volente drive may suit a cantilever better, and we say so at the estimate.
An automated two-leaf swing entry is estimated at $4,000 to $8,000 for the complete package, and the leaf weight, the power run and the entry device move the price most. A single swing system typically runs $2,500 to $5,000, which is the figure many Georgetown driveways land on.

Expect these dual swing numbers to be estimates, subject to change when we confirm the details. The site visit comes first, then a written quote fixes the final price and the install schedule for dual swing gates.
Each leaf can be galvanized steel, ornamental steel or hand-forged wrought iron, and the operators are sized to whichever you pick. For tube construction read about steel gates; for the full operator package see automatic driveway gates; for scrollwork see wrought iron gates. Isidro's 16 ft double leaf is a good picture of a plain steel frame that reads as finished on a wide drive.
From Georgetown to Round Rock, our owner walks the drive with you before a drawing is made, and the people who measure the opening also hang the leaves and test the sensors. Across 1,412 projects and 11 years, a pair of leaves that is sized, wired and tested by one crew gives fewer callbacks than one split between a fence company and an electrician. Our crew travels up to 45 miles from the Georgetown shop to install dual swing gates, and each one is covered for 3 years of workmanship on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel. Gate catchers and positive travel stops go on every leaf from Lost Creek to Rollingwood, and the operator on a dual swing gate is a 24V DC continuous-duty unit.
We install within a 45-mile radius of the Georgetown shop, including Cedar Park dual swing gates, Round Rock gate service, Leander driveway entries and Serenada acreage gates. For Steiner Ranch, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Volente, Lost Creek and Sunset Valley, see the service area page. Round Rock and Leander drives tend to be flatter, while Steiner Ranch and Volente drives often slope.
Owners in Leander and Round Rock who choose a pair of leaves often add gate access control, a solar gate operator or a pedestrian entry gate, and some compare it with an estate entry gate.
An automated dual swing gate typically costs $4,000 to $8,000, confirmed in your written quote.
Usually yes on a 16 ft double leaf in Leander or Cedar Park, because each leaf carries its own load and the two must move in step.
Most dual swings take an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, as with Isidro's 16 ft double leaf in Leander.
A lighter pipe frame on small hinges loses its line as the leaf weight grows, which heavier frames, ball-bearing hinges and deeper posts prevent.
A battery backup keeps the 24V DC operators running through an outage in Georgetown or Serenada, and a manual release lets you push each leaf open by hand.
Yes, because monitored photo eyes and edge sensors stop and reverse the leaves on contact in Rollingwood or Sunset Valley, and most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction under DASMA's guidance.

Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
