Automatic Gate Opener Installation

Automatic Gate Opener Installation for Iron Gates

LiftMaster and Viking openers, installed to UL325 safety standards and State Fire Marshal gate system requirements.

A gate you open by hand gets old fast, especially in the rain or after dark. An automatic opener lets you open your gate from the car, and it closes behind you so the property stays secure.

We have installed automatic gate openers since 1994. We match the operator to your gate, your driveway and how you use it, and we set it up to meet the safety rules that apply to gate systems in Louisiana.

  • Operator selection

    We recommend a LiftMaster or Viking operator based on your gate type, weight and how often it runs.

    We mount the operator, run the wiring and set up the control board so everything works together.

    We set up remotes and entry devices, and we show you how to program and use them.

  • Fire Marshal requirements

    Your gate system is installed to Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements.

Compare your options

Automatic opener or manual gate: how they compare

Both can work. The right choice depends on how you use the gate and who needs to get through it.

A manual gate means getting out of the car every time. An opener removes that step, which you will notice most on rainy days.

A manual gate is easy to leave open. An automatic gate closes on its own, so your driveway is not left open by accident.

A properly installed opener includes sensors that stop the gate when something is in the way. A manual gate has none, but it also moves only when you move it.

An opener is a machine with moving parts and needs occasional service. A manual gate asks very little of you, but it asks for your effort every day.

Built for south Louisiana

Openers built for south Louisiana weather

Our climate is hard on anything with motors and electronics. We plan the installation around it.

  • Humidity and rust

    Moist air attacks metal parts and connections. We choose mounting locations and hardware that give moisture fewer places to settle.

  • Power outages

    Storms often take out power, and an opener cannot run without it. We plan the power and controls with that in mind and talk through your options.

  • Shifting clay soil

    Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can move gate posts. We check alignment so the gate and operator do not fight each other.
