Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Burleson’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
Burleson is a different gate market than most of the Metroplex, and we say that with respect. In one afternoon we can go from a 2000s-era subdivision off Hidden Creek Parkway where an HOA wants a replacement gate matched to original community spec, out to a five-acre parcel off County Road 803 where the entrance needs a heavy tube-frame double gate and solar-powered operators because the nearest electrical tap is 300 feet from the road. That dual workload is the real Burleson, and we have been handling it as a dedicated gate company for over 42 years.
Our Gate Installation team understands both sides of the split. Production-builder-installed operators on ornamental iron gates throughout the 76028 corridor are now hitting the 10 to 15 year failure window all at once. At the same time, pipe-steel ranch gates on 76097 acreage need a different hardware set and post footing strategy entirely. We have welded, hung, and automated both in Burleson, and our written 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every job, whether it is a subdivision swing gate or a solar-powered farm entrance.
Owner Victor Salinas has built the company around one standard: the Keystone Standard. Background-checked, uniformed technicians work in your home the same way they would work in their own mother’s. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree. No answering service. Just a person who knows gates.
We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, $50 off any repair over $250, an $89 seasonal tune-up, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free estimate on your gate installation in Burleson.
Our Gate Installation Services in Burleson
Driveway Gate Installation
Driveway gates in Burleson run the full range: ornamental iron for HOAs that require style-match finishes and powder-coat color matching, and heavier welded steel for acreage entrances where a gate has to hold up to wind loads and daily use. We set posts below the active clay zone, because Johnson County’s black clay will move a shallow footing in one wet-dry cycle. A single driveway gate in a Burleson subdivision generally runs $2,800 to $4,500 installed. Wider double gates run proportionally more.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
A pedestrian gate beside the driveway entrance is common in Burleson, both in gated subdivisions and on rural properties where the main gate stays closed and family members walk through separately. We build pedestrian gates to match the main gate’s steel and finish, with self-closing hinges and latch hardware sized for regular use. In 76028 HOAs, matching the existing picket spacing and cap style is almost always a requirement, so we fabricate to spec rather than forcing a stock panel that will get flagged.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates make sense on Burleson lots where the driveway slopes toward the road or where a swing gate would block vehicles while opening. But heavier acreage slide gates here collect soil and debris in the rack and pinion track, especially after rain. That is a Johnson County reality: wind-blown topsoil and clay dust end up in the track and jam operators. We install slide gates with elevated tracks, protective covers, and properly sized motors so the gate keeps moving through dry spells and downpours alike. Expect $3,500 to $7,000 for a powered sliding gate in Burleson.
Swing Gate Installation
Swing gates are the most common style we hang in Burleson, and the most sensitive to the local soil. When black clay shrinks and heaves, the hinge posts move, and a gate that swung cleanly in June binds by September. We set swing gate posts deeper than generic guides suggest, with concrete below the shrink-swell active zone, and we size hinges for the full gate weight plus wind load. Single swing gates run $2,800 to $4,800; a double swing gate with automation starts near $5,500.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burleson
We are trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands, including BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls. That matters in Burleson because so many subdivision operators are aging out at the same time. When a 12-year-old Linear arm or a worn BFT control board fails, we arrive with the right part and the right diagnostic process on the first visit, not the third. For acreage gates, we commonly recommend Viking operators for their torque and weather resistance. We stock a deep parts inventory so Burleson customers are not waiting on a two-week ship from a distributor.
Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Burleson Homes
- Post footing heave from black-clay shrink-swell. Johnson County’s expansive soil moves more than the sandier loam in Mansfield or Crowley. Shallow footings shift hinge posts out of plumb and bind swing gates. We dig below the active zone and bell the footing so the post stays put.
- Undersized solar battery banks on acreage gates. A wide double gate pulls real amperage. Homeowners on 76097 lots install a solar kit with one battery, and the system drains during a cloudy week. We size solar panels and battery banks to the actual gate weight and cycle count, not a generic chart.
- Debris in slide gate tracks. Topsoil, clay dust, and grass clippings from mowing wide driveways accumulate in rack and pinion tracks. The gate stalls halfway and the motor works against a clogged track. We install covers and elevated rail systems to keep the track clean.
- HOA style-match failures. Many Burleson HOAs require ornamental iron gates to match the original community spec: color, picket spacing, cap style. A stock panel from a big-box store gets rejected. We fabricate matching panels and source correct powder-coat colors so the HOA approval goes through the first time.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Burleson
Burleson sits squarely in Johnson County’s expansive black-clay soil zone, which shrinks in dry months and heaves during wet cycles. That movement shifts shallow post footings out of plumb and binds the gate. In neighboring Mansfield and Crowley, sandier loam does not move nearly as much. The fix is deeper footings below the active clay zone, with belled bases. Call (817) 961-9404 and we can assess your existing posts before you rebuild.
Yes, if the solar array and battery bank are sized to the gate’s actual weight and daily cycle count. The most common failure we see on 76097 acreage lots is an undersized battery bank that drains during cloudy weeks. A wide double gate with a heavy tube frame pulls substantial amperage. We size solar panels, charge controllers, and batteries as a matched system, not a one-size kit. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free on-site assessment.
Many do. In 76028 subdivisions, HOAs commonly require replacement gates and panels to match original community spec: powder-coat color, picket spacing, and cap style. Some also restrict gate height and finish. We fabricate panels to match and source the correct powder-coat color so your approval does not stall. Call (817) 961-9404 and bring us your HOA’s written requirements. We will quote to the spec.
It often is. Johnson County’s topsoil and clay dust blow into the rack and pinion track, and when rain mixes with that debris it forms a paste that jams the gate and overheats the motor. Burleson’s mix of open fields, unpaved driveways, and high winds makes this more common here than in wholly suburban markets. We install elevated tracks and debris covers to keep the mechanism clean. Call (817) 961-9404 for a diagnosis.
For a heavy welded-pipe or tube-frame ranch gate, we typically dig post footings 36 to 48 inches deep, below the active shrink-swell zone, and bell the base with concrete. Shallow footings at 18 to 24 inches will move in the first full wet-dry cycle. The gate width, weight, and whether you add an opener all factor in. We quote the footing depth in writing before we dig. Call (817) 961-9404 for an exact specification and price.
