Access Control Gate Installation in Fort Smith, AR

Gate Systems We Install in Fort Smith

• ▶
  Residential Driveway Swing Gates: Single or double-panel swing gates for home driveways. Wood, ornamental iron, or ornamental aluminum panels. Operated by LiftMaster, FAAC, or US Automatic operators with keypad, remote, and optional intercom.
• ▶
  Residential Slide Gates: Horizontal sliding gates for driveways where swing clearance is limited or the driveway slopes significantly. Cantilever slide gates travel on a rail without ground track — ideal for sloped Fort Smith driveways.
• ▶
  Commercial Swing Gates: Heavy-duty swing gates for commercial property entries. Higher-duty operators, larger gate panels, and commercial-grade access control hardware.
• ▶
  Commercial Cantilever Slide Gates: The standard for commercial and industrial property entries requiring high-cycle, high-security gate operation. Chain link panels or custom metal panel options.
• ▶
  Access Control Devices: Keypads, remote transmitters, proximity card readers, key fob readers, intercom systems (audio and video), loop detectors for exit, and telephone entry systems.
• ▶
  Gate Repair & Service: Diagnosis and repair of all major residential and commercial gate operators. Emergency service available when a failed gate creates an access or security issue.

Our Installation Process

1. 1
   Site Assessment: We visit your property to assess the entry configuration, driveway slope, fence layout, and electrical availability. This determines gate type, operator model, and access control options.
2. 2
   System Design & Quote: We provide a written quote covering gate panel fabrication or material selection, operator, access control devices, wiring, and any electrical work required.
3. 3
   Post & Pad Installation: Gate posts and operator concrete pad are installed and cured — typically 24–48 hours before gate installation continues.
4. 4
   Gate Panel Installation: The gate panel is hung (swing) or mounted on the track system (slide). Alignment is verified for smooth travel and proper ground clearance.
5. 5
   Operator & Wiring: Operator is mounted, wired to the power source, and connected to limit switches and safety devices. Access control devices are wired and programmed.
6. 6
   Programming & Testing: Bobby programs access codes, remote transmitters, and card readers. Tests all safety reversals, emergency releases, and access devices before walkthrough.
7. 7
   Customer Walkthrough: Bobby walks you through system operation — how to use access devices, how to release the gate manually in a power outage, and how to contact us for service.
