Commercial Gates — Automatic, Wood & Iron | Houston

Not every commercial property needs a steel fortress at the entrance. Strip centers, professional office parks, and mixed-use developments often need a gate that controls access while maintaining the architectural warmth their tenants and customers expect. That is where commercial wood gates earn their place.

We build commercial wood gates from pressure-treated pine and select cedar — both rated for Houston's humidity cycle. Posts are set 36 inches deep in concrete because commercial gates bear more daily swing cycles than residential gates ever will. The hinge hardware is commercial-grade, rated for the weight of a 6-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide double-swing gate that opens and closes dozens of times a day.

The design matches your existing fence line. If your property has a board-on-board privacy fence screening a dumpster enclosure, the gate matches the board pattern, stain color, and cap profile exactly. If you need a picket-style pedestrian gate at a courtyard entry, we build it to the same height and spacing as the surrounding fence. The goal is seamless — a gate that belongs, not one that was obviously added later.

Wrought iron is the standard for commercial properties that need both security and visibility — parking lots where surveillance cameras must see through the fence line, retail storefronts where curb appeal drives foot traffic, and office campuses where the entry gate sets the professional tone for the entire property. Our commercial wrought iron gates are fabricated from heavy-gauge steel tubing with welded joints — not bolt-on brackets that loosen under daily use.

Picket spacing is set to meet your security requirements, from standard 4-inch on-center for general commercial use to tighter 3.5-inch spacing for higher-security applications. Anti-climb finials — spear-point, flat-top, or ornamental — are selected based on your property's threat profile and architectural standards. Jorge learned wrought iron work from his father, starting as a painter and working up to full fabrication and welding.

That hands-on lineage means your gate is overseen by someone who has physically built what he is quoting. Every measurement, every weld, every finish coat is checked against the spec before the gate leaves the shop.

The value of an automatic gate is measured in what it prevents. One unauthorized vehicle in your loading dock at 3 a.m. One delivery truck blocking your fire lane because the manual gate was propped open. One insurance claim that costs more than the entire gate installation.

We install both swing and slide automatic gate operators for commercial properties. Swing operators suit properties with adequate setback — typically 15 feet of clear space behind the gate path. Slide operators work where setback is limited, running the gate along the fence line on a ground track or cantilever system. Every automatic system includes safety sensors and auto-reverse — non-negotiable engineering that prevents the gate from closing on a vehicle, a person, or a delivery cart.

Keypads, card readers, and intercom systems are wired during installation, not retrofitted after the concrete has cured. If your property requires smartphone-based access control, we coordinate with your access control vendor to ensure the gate operator integrates with their platform before the first post is set.
