What a Gate Service Contract Includes
A gate service contract is a per-gate agreement with scheduled visits, a fixed checklist and a written log. Each visit runs an estimated 1 to 3 hours for a small property, and the checklist covers lubrication, force and reversal tests, photo eye and edge sensor checks, backup battery checks and a dated log entry per gate.
Maintenance Agreement Pricing
A preventive maintenance agreement typically runs an estimated $88 to $113 per gate per month, and repairs found during a visit are quoted before any work starts. Where a gate is past saving, a dual swing estate gate with operators typically costs an estimated $4,000 to $8,000 and a trackless cantilever gate typically costs an estimated $6,000 to $10,000.

Wendell's apartment property off SH 45 had tenants who kept calling the office about stuck gates, and no one could say when each was last serviced. We set up four gates on a quarterly schedule, two slide gates and two swing gates with mixed operators, at an estimated $360 to $440 per visit over an estimated 1 to 3 hours. We set a monthly per-gate agreement with quarterly lube, force tests, sensor checks and a written log per gate, so the property manager now has a dated log for each gate to hand to anyone who asks.

How Often Each Gate Part Is Serviced
Hinges and rollers are lubricated every 6 months, photo eyes are cleaned quarterly, and backup batteries are typically replaced every 3 to 4 years. Operators typically last 10 to 15 years when those checks happen on time.
How a Service Agreement Starts
A service agreement starts with a gate census of every gate, operator brand and entry device, moves to a written bid with the per-gate monthly price, and ends with a first logged visit.
Why Property Managers Choose Us
Every repair we make carries our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation, plus the operator maker's coverage, typically 1 to 5 years on motors and electronics. Owners with a yard fence or a pool deck often add an ornamental steel fence at an estimated $50 to $85 per linear foot, or a pool safety fence at an estimated $30 to $45 per linear foot, to the same agreement.
Added Work Under the Same Agreement
Added work is quoted separately and scheduled on a visit day. A hand-forged iron fence typically runs an estimated $85 to $130 per linear foot over an estimated 3 to 6 days, and a stair or balcony railing typically runs an estimated $65 to $135 per linear foot over an estimated 5 to 10 hours.
Service Contract Service Areas
We run service routes across a 35-mile radius of the shop, from apartment properties and business parks in Round Rock to gates in Cedar Park, Georgetown and Leander. A contract on a property in Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, West Lake Hills, Barton Creek, The Hills or Shady Hollow runs on the same route.
Related Work for Managed Properties
Each commercial buyer has a page built for the property, and single home gates start on the Round Rock Metal Gates home page: owners adding a truck entrance plan commercial gates and slide gate systems, boards that run a residential entry look at gated community entry systems, and yards that want the whole line closed set up commercial security and perimeter fencing.
Service Contract Questions
How much does a gate maintenance agreement cost?
A preventive maintenance agreement typically costs an estimated $88 to $113 per gate per month.
How long does a service visit take?
A visit typically takes an estimated 1 to 3 hours for a small property, as it did for four gates on a quarterly schedule off SH 45.
How often are gates serviced?
Hinges are lubricated every 6 months, photo eyes are cleaned quarterly, and backup batteries are typically replaced every 3 to 4 years.
Do you service gates you did not install?
Yes, the gate census records every operator brand, and a mixed property with two slide gates and two swing gates is a normal route.
Which gates can sit on one agreement?
Any mix can, since a ground-track sliding gate with operator and a single swing driveway gate with operator are each priced per gate at an estimated $88 to $113 per month, and each gets its own dated log entry after every visit.
What if a gate needs more than service?
We quote it before work starts, and an operator retrofit on an existing gate typically costs an estimated $1,800 to $3,800.
