Electric Gate Openers in Waco, TX



An electric gate opener is a motorized device that moves your gate using household or commercial electricity. It’s the most common choice for homes, ranches and businesses in urban and suburban areas where power is readily available. Electric openers can be used on both swing and sliding gates and offer strong, consistent performance day and night.

We install electric gate openers for homeowners who want a convenient way to operate their driveway gate, ranchers who need powerful motors for heavy gates, and commercial clients who require dependable security. By choosing the right motor size and control options, we ensure your gate opens smoothly and safely every time.

Opener Types & Features

Electric openers come in different models and configurations to suit various gate styles and usage needs. Here are some key options and features:

Motor Types

  • AC‑Powered Motors: Designed for steady, heavy‑duty use; ideal for commercial gates or large residential gates.
  • DC‑Powered Motors with Battery Backup: Operate on direct current and include batteries, ensuring your gate works during short power outages.

Gate Compatibility

  • Swing Gate Operators: Use articulated arms or linear actuators to move single or dual swing gates.
  • Slide Gate Operators: Use chain or rack-and-pinion drives to move gates along a track or cantilever system.

Control Options

  • Remote Controls & Keypads: Traditional remotes and weather‑resistant keypads let you open the gate without leaving your vehicle.
  • Smartphone & Wi‑Fi: Connect your opener to a mobile app for remote operation, monitoring and notifications.
  • Intercom & Video Systems: Add two‑way intercom or video units for added security and convenience.

Safety Features

  • Built‑in sensors stop the gate if an object is detected. Soft‑start and soft‑stop mechanisms reduce wear and provide quiet operation.
