Staying Open for Residents While the Entry Is Rebuilt

A community entry stays open during a rebuild when only one lane is out of service at a time, whether the community sits in Cedar Park, Lakeway or Georgetown. At Ranch at Cypress Creek in Cedar Park, Patrice's board kept a resident lane running on every work day while the other lane was changed over.

We post the lane plan to the property manager before the first day, and we hold the old operator in place until the new matched pair is hung and tested. Where a lane must close fully, a staffed lane or a guard handles it for the shortest window we can, as Calvin's Brodie Lane lot in Sunset Valley did while 300 linear ft of panels went in.

Resident Lane and Visitor Lane Do Different Jobs

A resident lane is built for speed and a visitor lane is built for identification, so the two never share one set of equipment, and Steiner Ranch and Volente communities ask for the same split. Residents use credentials that open the gate on approach, while visitors use a call box or directory that rings a resident or the guard, and a walk-through entry gate beside the lanes serves people on foot, as Simone's 42 inch steel walk gate does at Northline in Leander.

An intercom, keypad or phone entry is the usual visitor tool, and one operator sits on each lane so a failure on one side does not close the whole community.

Reserve Planning and the 10-Year Parts Plan

A reserve study works best when the entry equipment has a written parts plan, and Patrice's board received a 10-year plan for the Cedar Park entry. It lists operators, control boards, photo eyes and hinges with expected service windows, so the board can budget replacements instead of reacting to a failed arm, and a one-leaf automated swing gate at an estimated $2,600 to $4,800 is the usual spare-lane benchmark.

Operator makers warrant motors and control boards for 1 to 5 years depending on the model, and our 2-year workmanship warranty covers weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag. For routine care, a scheduled gate service plan typically runs an estimated $89 to $112 per gate per month for an estimated 1 to 3 hours a visit, and Alma's five gates at Lohmans Crossing in Lakeway share one plan and one log.

Entry System Budget Ranges

Community entries are budgeted per lane, and a two-leaf automated swing entry typically runs an estimated $4,300 to $7,900 over an estimated 2 to 3 days. A track-mounted slide gate for a tight apartment drive typically runs an estimated $1,800 to $4,900, and a trackless cantilever slide gate runs an estimated $6,300 to $9,700 over an estimated 2 to 4 days.

These figures are estimates and are subject to change with the number of lanes, the power run and the directory. A written quote sets the final price and the schedule for your community.

Patrice's community in Cedar Park needed a resident lane, a visitor lane and a directory that rang residents on a telephone entry system. We hung matched steel pairs on both lanes, changed one lane at a time and delivered the written 10-year parts plan. The job was an estimated $9,500 to $14,500, took an estimated 4 to 6 days, and the board still points to the lane-by-lane schedule as the reason residents barely noticed.

Towns We Serve for Gated Community Entry Work

We bid community entries across a 35-mile radius, from Patrice's Ranch at Cypress Creek in Cedar Park to Alma's five-gate plan at Lohmans Crossing in Lakeway. Calvin's Brodie Lane lot in Sunset Valley and Terrence's yard on Chisholm Trail Road in Round Rock sit inside the same radius, as do Steiner Ranch and Georgetown. Leander straddles the Williamson and Travis County line, so we confirm which side a community sits on before we name a permit route. For HOA architectural review, check with the board and the city.

Other Work for Your Community Entry

Boards also compare commercial gate and slide gate systems, gate maintenance and service contracts and commercial security and perimeter fencing.
