Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in gate access control, specializing in video intercoms, keypads and phone entry with delivery codes. We offer wiring, programming and testing on the automatic gate you already have.
Our team provides keypad, intercom and phone entry setup, delivering fewer trips down the drive for homes and clean, logged entry for both residential and commercial projects. A crew with 11 years in business and over 1,412 projects, from a single entry to long estate drives, stands behind each install with 3 years of workmanship coverage for welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From checking your operator's input terminals to the last test call, our team handles all of it. Serving Georgetown and neighboring Leander, Serenada, Cedar Park and Round Rock, we put the open button in your pocket instead of at the end of the drive.

What you can hold us to

A long drive where deliveries kept stopping at the gate and the family had to walk down to open it
Winston, off Brodie Lane, Sunset Valley
A property with six gates, three of them stuck open for months
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Lucinda in Serenada, off Williams Drive, had a long drive where deliveries kept stopping at the gate and the family had to walk down to open it. We fitted a video intercom with phone entry and a delivery code that works for one day, an estimated $1,500 to $3,400 job that took an estimated 4 to 7 hours. Packages now arrive at the house without a walk to the gate.
Lucinda's was an existing gate with new access hardware on a single entry off Williams Drive, so nothing was rebuilt. Winston in Sunset Valley, off Brodie Lane, runs six gates across one property, where three had been stuck open for months, so his access hardware sits on top of a monthly inspection with lubrication, sensors and limit checks that logs when each gate was last tested, an estimated $560 to $650 in an estimated 1 to 3 hours.
Every option talks to the same operator, so owners in Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills choose by who arrives and how often. The table sets the common ones side by side for Georgetown and Round Rock owners.
| Entry option | Best for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad | Family and regular staff | One code per person, easy to change |
| Video intercom | Deliveries and visitors | Answers on your phone from anywhere |
| Long-range RFID reader | Cars that come and go daily | Opens as the car rolls up |
| Phone entry | Guests and short visits | Codes can expire after one day |
A keypad is the cheapest start, and many owners add the intercom later because the same wire run serves both. A full intercom with phone entry sits higher on the price scale. Serenada and Steiner Ranch owners on long drives usually choose the intercom, because it answers on the phone while they are away from the house.
Access hardware does not replace the entrapment protection on the operator, a point we repeat on every Lost Creek and Sunset Valley job. DASMA's guidance says most installations still need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction, and a gate manufacturer's safety summary puts controls at least 6 ft from the gate. Gates across fire lanes may also need a Knox key switch or Opticom receiver, as the fire marshal requires, so we ask about emergency access before we set a code. Confirm current rules with the city before you commit, whether you live in Rollingwood or Volente.
The work follows one order on every gate:
Cell coverage matters at the far end of a long drive in Steiner Ranch or Volente, so we test the signal at the post before we choose a model. Where trenching power is not practical, a solar panel with dual-battery backup keeps the keypad alive, and 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf keep the gate moving.
Access control with a video intercom and phone entry is estimated at $1,500 to $3,400 on a single entry, the range Lucinda's Serenada job landed in, and the number of entry points, the wire distance and the intercom model move the price most.

| Scope | Est. price | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Operator added to a gate you own | Est. $1,800 to $3,800 for one operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Recurring gate service plan | Est. $88 to $113 a gate each month | Est. 1 to 3 hours per visit |
Read the gate access control figures as estimates, subject to change as the scope firms up. We settle the final price and the install schedule in a written quote after the site visit, taking entry points, wire distance and intercom model into account.
Access control rides on an operator, so owners without one start with gate operator installation, and owners far from the house pair it with solar gate operators. Our automatic driveway gates page covers a full new system, our steel gate installation page covers the leaf itself, and a walk-in path may need its own pedestrian entry gate.
After 11 years and 1,412 projects across a 45-mile radius, we have seen the same mistake often: a smart intercom wired to a gate that has no entrapment protection. Our gate automation technician tests every code and every sensor before she leaves, and the owner still reviews the larger jobs himself. Georgetown owners know who to call because the workmanship warranty, 3 years on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, stays with the gate. In West Lake Hills and Rollingwood we pair each intercom with monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate.
We install within 45 miles of the Georgetown shop, including Serenada, Cedar Park, Round Rock and Leander. The full list is on the service area page.
A single-entry intercom job is estimated at $1,500 to $3,400, and your written quote fixes the final price.
Most installs take an estimated 4 to 7 hours, as Lucinda's Serenada job did.
Yes, a phone-entry delivery code can work for one day, as it does for Lucinda.
Usually yes, if the operator has input terminals, and across our 45-mile radius from Georgetown to Lost Creek we check that at the site visit.
No, every operator has a manual release, and in Rollingwood or Sunset Valley we can add a solar panel with dual-battery backup.
Often the gate falls under city fence rules in Georgetown or Cedar Park, and a gate across a fire lane follows the fire marshal, so we check your address first.
Call us for a free estimate on your Georgetown gate, and we will check the operator, test the signal and send a written quote. Our 11 years and 1,412 projects include plenty of gate access control jobs.
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.
