Our team provides dual swing gates, delivering a pair that opens evenly for homes and heavy leaves for both residential and commercial projects. A 12 ft pair and a 16 ft opening with two 8 ft leaves both sit among the over 1,187 projects finished in our 12 years in business, each behind our 2-year workmanship warranty.
From the arc survey to the center-latch alignment across 12 years in business, our team handles both leaves. Serving Georgetown, Cedar Park, Round Rock and Leander, we size each pair to the room it has to swing through.

The short version
Vince, half-acre lot off New Hope Drive, Cedar Park
The owner wanted iron at the front line on a lot over 20,000 sq ft.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Vince's half-acre lot off New Hope Drive in Cedar Park needed iron at the front line, and a lot over 20,000 sq ft in Cedar Park allows wrought iron there with a 6 ft front setback. We hung a 16 ft opening as two 8 ft leaves in wrought iron style steel, matte black powder coat, and mounted an operator on each leaf at its post. On site Vince's 16 ft pair took an estimated 2 to 3 days, at an estimated $4,600 to $6,400. The leaves meet at the center latch with a hairline gap, a fit we also set on Round Rock and Georgetown pairs.
A dual swing gate in Round Rock needs a clear arc equal to the length of each leaf, on the side where it opens. Two 8 ft leaves need an 8 ft arc each, so a Steiner Ranch drive has to be deep enough for both to pass without touching a car.
| Gate style | Needs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Dual swing pair | An arc for each leaf | Wide, flat frontages with depth |
| Single swing | One long arc | Narrow openings |
| Sliding gate | A run beside the opening | Short drives and tight lots |
A dual swing gate in Round Rock typically costs an estimated $4,000 to $8,000 for a pair with its operators, and the opening width, the leaf weight and the entry devices move the number most. A plain 12 ft pair sits near the low end, while a tall arched pair between columns sits near the top.
One leaf, one operator, photo eyes and remotes, best on a driveway with room for the leaf to clear.
Two matched leaves on heavy posts or columns, two operators, safety devices and a stop.
A leaf on a poured track, for a short drive or a level opening with no room to swing.
A counterbalanced leaf on carriages with nothing in the opening, for slopes and busy commercial lanes.
New motor, photo eyes and remotes on a manual or worn automatic gate that is still sound.
An entry device and its wiring added to a working gate, from one keypad to a full video setup.
Tubular steel panels 4 to 6 ft tall, galvanized and powder coated, set on poured posts.
Solid bar and forged parts built to a drawing, for a front line that has to carry the house.
Aluminum panels with tight pickets, plus a self-closing, self-latching gate quoted on top.
A manual walk gate matched to the fence or the driveway leaves, with a latch set at your hand height.
Ornamental steel or wrought iron fitted to the stair or slab, with balusters spaced to our 3.5 to 3.875 in spec.
Steel or iron treads on a center column, from a stock kit to a site-measured build.
A steel or iron door with glass and thermal breaks, hung on hinges or a pivot once the frame is set.
Scheduled visits for commercial and association gates: lube, force test, sensors and a written log.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Dual swing estate gate with operators | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Single swing driveway gate with operator | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Operator retrofit on an existing gate | Est. $1,800 to $3,800 per operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Read each range as an estimate, subject to change until we survey the arc at the site visit. Opening width, leaf weight and operator class then go into a written quote, and that document settles the price and the install schedule.
A pair fails first at the center latch, so on a Cedar Park or Leander pair the latch is the part we plan around. Two leaves that hang a quarter inch out of line will not meet, and a gap that grows over a season starts as a sag at the hinge. We set each post plumb, hang the leaves, then align the center and test the reversal at every point of travel, and every device tested at handover is logged for the Georgetown owner. A swinging leaf also sweeps a path a car or a child can enter, so monitored photo eyes and edge sensors stop it. Round Rock's Fire Marshal published Emergency Access Controlled Gate Systems Guidelines in July 2023 for fire-lane gates; a house driveway is not a fire-lane gate, so on a house we ask your fire authority what applies.
Round Rock asks for no residential fence permit on a pair, yet a Historic Overlay lot must get a Certificate of Appropriateness first, and street-facing fences over 4 ft fall under a 2016 ordinance. Vince's lot off New Hope Drive in Cedar Park sets a 6 ft front setback for wrought iron on lots over 20,000 sq ft. An HOA in Georgetown or Leander may also require a driveway gate set back 10 ft where the driveway meets a laned road under Texas SB 711, effective September 1, 2025. We read the covenant before we draw the pair, from Shady Hollow to Barton Creek.
Steel carries a matched pair best, and G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base goes on before any color. Compare frames on our steel gate installation page, or look at forged ornament on our wrought iron gates page. The motor choice is on our automatic driveway gates page. The ground changes at the Balcones Escarpment, blackland to the east and limey loam to the west, so each post hole on a pair is checked on site before the pour.
Cedar Park and Round Rock owners choose us because the same crew surveys the arc, welds the leaves and aligns the latch. Over 1,187 projects in 12 years have taught us where a pair drifts, and the 2-year workmanship warranty stands behind the welds.
We install pairs across Round Rock and the nearby cities, with most dual swing work in Cedar Park, Georgetown and Leander, plus Lakeway and Barton Creek. We also travel to Steiner Ranch and The Hills for a pair, both inside a radius of 35 miles from the shop.
A pair often goes with estate entry gates and columns, a custom driveway gate design, or gate access control at the entry.
A dual swing estate gate with operators runs an estimated $4,000 to $8,000, and the exact figure lands on your written quote once we survey the arc.
Most Cedar Park and Georgetown pairs take an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, as on Vince's 16 ft opening.
A clear arc about equal to each leaf, so Vince's 16 ft opening with two 8 ft leaves in Cedar Park needed an 8 ft sweep each.
Yes, 24V DC brushless motors with battery backup, sized to leaf weight, length and duty cycle, mount at the post on each leaf, as on Vince's pair off New Hope Drive.
Yes, every Round Rock pair gets monitored photo eyes and edge sensors on both leaves, and we reverse test each device at handover.
Yes, plan on an estimated 4 to 8 hours for an operator retrofit on an existing gate, after a hinge check on your Georgetown or Round Rock pair.
No residential fence permit is needed for a pair here; the one extra step is a Certificate of Appropriateness on a Historic Overlay lot, which comes first.
Our 2-year workmanship warranty stands behind the welds, hinges, footings and operator installation on your Round Rock pair, while motors fall to the operator maker's own coverage.

How a job runs
We read the grade, the soil and the swing or slide path before a line is drawn.
You sign off on a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before any steel is cut.
Our welders fabricate the gate, then it goes out for its coating before it comes to your property.
We set the posts, hang the leaf, wire the operator and run every photo eye and safety edge in front of you.
