Texas Fence builds automated iron gates in Houston, TX.
We design gate systems that open smoothly, secure your entry, and match your style.
A gate adds security and convenience, but only if it moves correctly day after day. A poor gate can stick, sag, or strain equipment. A well-built automated gate works quietly, reliably, and safely.
This article explains how automated iron gates work and why good design and installation make a difference.

Why Automated Gates Matter
A gate is more than wood and metal.
It protects your property. It controls access. It automates a task you do many times each day.
Iron gates are strong. When automation is added, you get security without needing to step out of the vehicle every time.
Problems With Poor Gate Setups
We often see gates that:
- Bind at the bottom
- Stick in rain or humidity
- Run off alignment
- Wear out motors prematurely
These issues usually come from incorrect measurements, poor hardware, or weak foundations.
How We Build Automated Iron Gates
We start with precise measurements and square posts. We choose hardware that matches the gate weight and size.
Then we install the opener system with proper limits, safety sensors, and wiring that protects against weather.
We test movement repeatedly so the gate runs smoothly with every cycle.
Benefits of Automated Iron Gates
- Controlled access
- Improved security
- Daily convenience
- Durable movement system
Good automation makes using the gate simple and reliable.
