Gate Types We Install: Swing, Slide, Cantilever & More
Allied Fence & Security installs every major gate type used in the Kansas City area. Choosing the right style depends on your property layout, traffic volume, and security requirements. Our team evaluates your site before recommending a solution.
- Swing Gates open on hinges and pivot inward or outward. They suit residential driveways, HOA entries, and properties with adequate clearance on level ground, and can be automated with a reliable opener system.
- Slide Gates move horizontally along a track, making them ideal where space prevents a gate from swinging. They are durable and built for high-cycle use, which is why industrial facilities, warehouse yards, and high-traffic commercial entries near Armourdale's mixed-use corridors favor them.
- Cantilever Gates operate without a ground track, rolling on posts using counterbalanced rollers. They are a strong fit for unpaved surfaces, gravel lots, and yards prone to debris or seasonal flooding near the Kansas River.
- Driveway Gates frame residential entrances while adding privacy and security. They can be fabricated in ornamental steel, chain link, or custom finishes to match existing fencing, and are available for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Automatic Gate Openers & Access Control Options
An automatic gate is only as effective as the system controlling it. Allied Fence & Security installs and programs a range of entry methods, including keypad entry, remote controls, card readers, vehicle loop detectors, and intercom systems. For properties requiring tighter access control, our team can integrate your gate directly with a broader access control system. Visit our access control systems page to learn more.
All installations include a full warranty covering both labor and materials. Allied Fence & Security also repairs any system, regardless of who originally installed it. That matters for Armourdale-area facilities with aging or unbranded equipment already in place.
Automatic Gate Openers & Access Control Options
Security gate installation is often the first line of defense for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistics yards in the Kansas City metro. Armourdale's mix of residential and industrial land means perimeter control is a practical necessity for many properties.
Allied Fence & Security designs and installs high-security gate systems that handle heavy vehicular traffic, wide openings, and continuous daily cycling. Our IDEA-certified team coordinates projects from permitting through final commissioning. When a project calls for automatic gate installation alongside perimeter fencing, we manage both scopes under a single contract.
How Does Automatic Gate Installation Work?
Allied Fence & Security handles every step in-house, from site evaluation through final programming.
1. Site Assessment: Our team measures the opening, evaluates surface conditions, checks grade, and identifies the best gate type for your layout.
2. Gate & Operator Selection: We help you choose the right gate style and a compatible operator (electric or solar-powered) based on usage frequency and security needs.
3. Post and Foundation Work: Posts are set in concrete to the depth required for your gate's weight and local soil conditions in Wyandotte County.
4. Operator and Wiring Installation: The gate operator is mounted and wired, and safety sensors are positioned to meet UL 325 safety standards.
5.
Programming and Testing:
We program your access method (remote control, keypad, intercom, or app-based system) and run full open-close cycles before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Difference Between a Swing Gate and a Sliding Gate?
A swing gate pivots open on hinges; a slide gate moves sideways along a track or cantilever system. Swing gates work best on flat, open driveways with clearance for the gate arc. Slide and cantilever gates are the better choice for tight spaces, sloped terrain, and high-traffic commercial entries, where a swinging gate would be impractical.
Do I Need a Permit for Automatic Gate Installation in Kansas City, KS?
Permit requirements in Kansas City, KS, and Wyandotte County vary based on gate height, property type, and whether electrical work is involved. Allied Fence & Security is familiar with local permitting processes and can help coordinate requirements for your project. Contact the Unified Government of Wyandotte County planning office for confirmation.
Can You Automate My Existing Gate?
In many cases, yes. If your existing gate is structurally sound and properly hung or tracked, Allied Fence & Security may be able to retrofit an operator without replacing the full gate system. Our team will assess compatibility during a site visit before recommending an approach.
Do You Service Gates You Did Not Install?
Yes. Allied Fence & Security repairs any gate or access control system regardless of who originally installed it, covering both automated openers and the gates themselves.
