Gate Installation & Iron Work
Orion Access Control Systems has been designing and installing entry gates across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for decades. Every project is built with the precision and durability that automated gate systems demand.
Designing the right gate system takes more than hardware. It takes hands-on experience, detailed planning, and an honest assessment of what will work long-term for your specific property. We design, fabricate, and install a wide range of residential, commercial, and community gates.
Our Entry Gate Solutions
We understand that gate installation involves much more than just aesthetics. We account for wind loads, material strength, hinge and track systems, and industry safety standards. Many municipalities across DFW require permits and engineered drawings for automated gate installations. We manage that process on your behalf so you don’t have to.
Whether you need a single swing gate for a residential driveway or a high-security slide gate for a commercial facility, we have the experience and equipment to get it done right.
Gate Installation
Precise alignment, proper hardware, and full safety compliance are essential to installation. Our gate installation process ensures your gate performs reliably from day one and continues to do so for years to come.
Gate Automation
Automated gate operators combine convenience and access control. We install and configure automatic operators that integrate with keypads, intercoms, and access control systems for seamless entry management.
Barrier Arms
Barrier arms offer fast, high-visibility vehicle control for parking facilities, loading areas, and gated entries where quick throughput and clear access management are priorities.
Slide Gates
Ideal for properties with limited driveway clearance, slide gates operate horizontally along a track or cantilever system. They provide smooth, secure access without requiring swing room.
Swing Gates
Classic in appearance and versatile in application, swing gates open inward or outward on hinges and offer an elegant, straightforward solution for properties with adequate clearance.
Rolling Gates
Built for flat surfaces and high-traffic environments, rolling gates travel along a ground-mounted track and are valued for their durability and simple, reliable operation.
Vertical Lift Gates
Where space is tight, or security demands are high, vertical lift gates raise straight up, offering strong containment and smooth performance without the need for side clearance.
Crash-Rated Gates
Engineered for high-security applications, crash-rated gates are reinforced to stop unauthorized vehicle intrusion and built to meet established crash-rating standards for protected facilities.
Vehicle Gates
Heavy-duty automated vehicle gates deliver dependable access control for driveways, parking structures, and secure facilities.
Pedestrian Gates
Paired with vehicle gates or installed independently, our pedestrian gates provide controlled foot-traffic access with durable construction and a clean, professional appearance.
Ornamental Iron Gates
We craft custom-designed iron gates to complement your property’s architecture. We blend security with craftsmanship to create entry points that make a lasting impression while standing the test of time.
Turnstyles
Ideal for precision entry management in high-traffic areas, turnstiles regulate individual access, support access control integration, and improve site security where foot traffic volume is a concern.

Entry Gate FAQs
Can an existing manual gate be automated?
In most cases, yes. We evaluate the gate’s current condition, size, and structural integrity to recommend the right automation solution.
What ongoing maintenance does an automatic gate need?
Routine maintenance includes lubricating mechanical components, inspecting the operator and safety sensors, checking hardware tightness, and testing all access control integrations. Scheduled service helps prevent unexpected failures and extends the life of your system.
What are my power options for an automated gate?
Most gate operators run on standard electrical power. Backup battery systems are available to maintain operation during outages, and solar-powered configurations can be evaluated for properties where running power is a challenge.
Is a sliding gate or a swing gate better for my property?
Sliding gates are generally preferred where driveway space is limited, while swing gates work well on wider entrances and offer a more traditional aesthetic. We’ll assess your site layout and recommend the best fit.
What's the right gate option for a commercial property?
For most commercial applications, slide gates or heavy-duty swing gates with integrated access control provide the best combination of security and throughput. The right choice depends on your site layout, traffic volume, and access management needs. If you’re unsure about what you need, don’t hesitate to reach out, and a member of our team will be happy to discuss it with you.
Can community gates connect with a resident app or visitor management system?
Yes. Modern gate systems integrate with mobile access apps, telephone entry platforms, and visitor management software, making it easy for residents to manage their own access and for property managers to maintain oversight.
