Automatic Gates in San Benito County, CA

Automatic Ranch, Estate and Driveway Gates

Much of San Benito County is ranch land, orchards, vineyards and rural parcels with long driveways. A gate here has to let trucks, trailers and farm equipment through, keep livestock in, and hold up to dust and summer heat. In Hollister's neighborhoods and in Ridgemark, owners often want an ornamental entry gate for privacy and curb appeal. We build both kinds.

Gates Sized for Trucks, Trailers and Equipment

We size the opening to the largest vehicle that will use it, with room to spare. Then we match the hinges, posts and operator to the gate's weight. Wide bi-parting swing gates and heavy-duty slide gates are common choices on working properties.

Ornamental Entry Gates

Our custom gates range from simple steel ranch styles to arched iron designs with spear points and scrollwork. We also build iron-and-wood gates that suit Spanish and farmhouse architecture.

Solar Gate Openers and Power Options for Rural Properties

When a gate sits hundreds of feet from the nearest electrical panel, trenching power to it can cost more than the operator. San Benito County's sunny climate makes solar-powered gate openers a practical alternative. We size the panel and batteries to how many times the gate opens each day, with allowance for shorter winter days.

• Hardwired AC: Best for gates near the house or an existing panel, or gates with heavy daily use. It's the most powerful option but needs trenching and conduit.
• AC with battery backup: Keeps the gate running through power interruptions.
• Solar with batteries: Best for remote ranch and vineyard gates far from power. No trenching is needed.

Access Control for Ranches and Rural Homes

We set up access so the right people get in without you driving down to the gate:

• Long-range remotes for family and ranch vehicles
• Keypads on pedestals placed at driver height for cars and trucks
• Telephone entry systems so visitors and deliveries can call you from the gate
• Vehicle exit sensors so the gate opens automatically on the way out
• Timer-to-close settings that help keep livestock in
• Fire department emergency access devices where your fire district requires them

Automatic Gate Repair and Maintenance in Hollister and San Benito County

Dust, heat and heavy use take a toll. Dust packs into hinges and tracks, summer heat shortens battery life, rodents nest in control boxes, and a bump from a trailer can bend a gate out of alignment. Our technicians repair damaged sections, replace worn parts and get the gate running smoothly again. With our preventive maintenance program we routinely:

• Check hinges, bearings, wheels, brackets and tracks
• Realign gate arms and slide gates
• Clear insects and rodents from control boxes
• Adjust limit and safety switches, timing and sensitivity
• Check hydraulic oil, lubrication, chain tension and drive belts
• Test batteries, solar charging, electrical connections and the clutch

We honor all manufacturers' warranties.
