OPERATOR TYPES
Sliding Gate Operators We Install
We size and install every type of slide gate operator — matched to your gate weight, length, and duty cycle:
Chain-drive operators
The workhorse for residential and light-commercial slide gates; reliable and cost-effective.
Rack-and-pinion operators
Smooth, precise travel for heavier and higher-cycle gates; the gate rides a toothed rail.
Cantilever gate operators
For cantilever slide gates that roll on posts with no ground track, ideal where flooding or debris rule out a floor track.
High-cycle commercial operators
Heavy-duty units built for hundreds of open/close cycles a day at busy entrances.
Solar slide operators
Off-grid solar power for gates with no nearby electrical service.
Battery-backup operators
Keep the gate working through power outages.
We install and service LiftMaster, Viking, Linear, DoorKing, BFT, Apollo, and FAAC sliding gate operators — matched to your gate type and duty cycle.
WHICH SLIDE GATE
Cantilever vs. Roller (V-Track) — Which Slide Gate Fits
Roller / V-track gates ride on a wheel in a track set into the driveway. Lower cost, but the track collects dirt, gravel, and water and needs occasional cleaning to roll smoothly.
Cantilever gates hang from rollers on posts beside the opening and float above the ground — nothing to clog, freeze, or flood. They cost more and need room alongside the driveway for the counterbalance, but they’re the low-maintenance choice for Houston yards that flood or collect debris.
We help you pick the right one for your opening and pair it with the matching operator.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a sliding gate opener cost installed in Houston?
Cost depends on the gate’s weight, length, and how often it cycles. We quote one all-inclusive price up front — operator, labor, and tax — before any work begins.
What’s the difference between a chain-drive and rack-and-pinion slide operator?
Chain-drive is reliable and cost-effective for most residential gates; rack-and-pinion gives smoother, more precise travel and handles heavier, higher-cycle gates. We match the operator to your gate.
Can you install an opener on a cantilever slide gate?
Yes. We install cantilever gate operators for gates that roll on posts with no ground track — a great option where flooding or debris would clog a V-track.
Do you repair sliding gate openers, or only install new ones?
Both. We repair all brands and, when a unit is beyond economical repair, we’ll quote a replacement honestly — the choice is yours.
Which brands of slide gate operator do you install?
LiftMaster, Viking, Linear, DoorKing, BFT, Apollo, and FAAC, sized to your gate.
My slide gate is stuck or won’t move — what’s wrong?
Common causes are a worn drive chain or gear, debris in the track, a failed control board, a dead battery, or a power issue. We diagnose the exact cause on-site.
