Gate Maintenance and Service Contracts in Georgetown, TX

Request a bid with your gate count, addresses and operator brands, and our service lead will inspect a gate and price the plan from what the inspection shows.

What a Service Plan Covers

A service plan replaces the call that comes after a gate fails with a visit that finds the fault first.

A property with six gates, three of them stuck open for months, is what a missed plan looks like, because an open gate protects nothing and a stuck one blocks someone.

The contract reads the same for any property.

• Hinges: ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight, greased on each visit and checked for play before a leaf starts to drag.
• Drive: 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf, tested for current draw so a failing motor is replaced before it stops a gate.
• Safety: monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, tested by hand on each visit and logged as pass or fail, so a sensor that has drifted out of line is caught before it fails.
• Stops: gate catchers and positive travel stops on every swing and slide leaf, inspected for loosened bolts, bent plates and worn travel pads at each visit, because a stop that has moved lets a leaf run past its limit.
• Fire access: Knox key switch or Opticom receiver on gates across fire lanes, as the fire marshal requires, checked against a test call from the key switch or the receiver, with the response time written beside the date in the log.
• Power: solar panel with dual-battery backup where trenching power is not practical, with battery voltage logged so a weak cell is caught early.
• Finish: G90 hot-dip galvanized tube on posts and hollow rails so rust cannot start from the inside, with touch-up on scratches before they open.

A contract is priced by the number of gates, the visit interval and the operator type.

Payment on repair work typically runs a 50% deposit, a 25 to 40% progress draw and the final 10 to 25% on commissioning. These figures are budgetary estimates, subject to change, and the written quote we issue after the first inspection sets the final price and the schedule.

Winston manages a property with six gates, three of them stuck open for months, off Brodie Lane in Sunset Valley. We put all six commercial gates on a monthly inspection that covers lubrication, sensors and limit checks on each leaf. The visit costs an estimated $560 to $650 and takes an estimated 1 to 3 hours, and the logs now show when each gate was last tested.

Safety Re-Checks

A safe gate stays safe only while its protection is tested, and monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate are tested by hand each visit. DASMA's guidance says most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction and that at least two warning signs are displayed, so each yearly re-check tests both and reads the signs. A gate manufacturer's safety summary puts controls at least 6 ft from the gate, so a control moved closer by a tenant is corrected on the visit, and it says slide gate openings are guarded against a 2.25 inch sphere up to at least 72 inches, which the re-check also confirms. Around Georgetown, we hold to monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, tested against our entrapment checklist before we leave.

Why Managers Choose Us

Managers choose us because the crew that handles a recurring gate service plan can also run an operator added to a gate you own for the same property. Work we installed is under a 3-year workmanship warranty for welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, and the plan covers the visits after it, so a cracked weld or a drifting hinge is corrected under the warranty.
