We’ve installed and repaired over 22,000 gates since 2014, and every one began with a written price under The Haven Standard. Adrian Vance built this company from commercial access-control work, and that documentation habit - wiring diagrams, photographed records, limit-switch readings - now applies to every residential driveway gate we touch in Roswell. When you hire Vance Gate Repair Roswell, you get a technician who names what they found, names what it costs, and leaves evidence behind so no one pays twice to rediscover the same problem. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every installation: if it’s not right, we make it right at no charge. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week - no voicemail, no callback queue.

What Our Gate Installation Service Includes

Driveway Gate Installation

A driveway gate is the primary vehicle entry point for your Roswell property, typically spanning 10-16 feet for single openings or 20-24 feet for double configurations. You’ll need one when you’re replacing a deteriorated existing gate, converting from manual to automated entry, or completing new construction where no gate exists. At Vance Gate Repair Roswell, we measure your opening with a laser level, check the slope across the driveway for drainage and swing clearance, and photograph the existing posts or footing conditions before quoting - so your written price accounts for Roswell’s clay-heavy soils that shift seasonally and stress gate posts.

Pedestrian Gate Installation

A pedestrian gate is a smaller walk-through entry, usually 3-4 feet wide, separate from your vehicle gate and often matching its style for visual consistency. Homeowners in Roswell’s historic district and newer subdivisions alike add these when foot traffic between the sidewalk and front door needs controlled access without opening the full driveway gate. We install pedestrian gates with self-closing hinges, magnetic latches, and optional keypad or card-reader integration - and we document the exact hinge tension setting and latch alignment in your photo record so future adjustments take minutes, not guesswork.

Sliding Gate Installation

A sliding gate runs parallel to your fence line on a track or cantilever system, making it the right choice when your Roswell driveway lacks the swing radius for an inward- or outward-opening gate. We see these frequently on properties along Roswell’s narrower interior streets or sloped lots where a swing gate would scrape the pavement or encroach on the right-of-way. Our installation includes a laser-aligned track bed, v-groove or cantilever hardware rated for your gate’s weight, and a motor sized to the duty cycle - with limit-switch positions recorded in writing and photographed for your file.

Swing Gate Installation

A swing gate rotates on hinges mounted to posts or columns, either single-leaf or double-leaf, and remains the most common style in Roswell’s residential neighborhoods from Historic Roswell to the newer developments near Holcomb Bridge Road. You need a swing gate when you have adequate setback from the street and want the simplest, most reliable mechanical operation. We set posts in concrete rated for the gate’s weight and wind load, use adjustable ball-bearing hinges for long-term alignment, and verify that your chosen automation arm - whether LiftMaster, FAAC, or another brand - has the torque and duty-cycle rating for daily Roswell use.

Double Gate Installation

A double gate uses two leaves that meet in the center, halving the swing radius of each leaf and fitting wider openings where a single gate would be too heavy or impractical. Roswell homeowners choose these for estate entrances, corner lots with dual street frontage, or any opening exceeding 14 feet where a single leaf would strain hardware and motors. We install center-drop pins, cane bolts, or electric strikes for secure latching, and we synchronize dual-motor setups with control boards that communicate leaf position - documenting the synchronization delay and safety-edge sensitivity in your Haven Standard record.

Security Gate Installation

A security gate prioritizes controlled access with reinforced construction, integrated access control, and often taller heights or anti-climb features - common for Roswell properties backing to greenbelts or those with specific HOA requirements. We install security gates with welded steel frames, expanded metal or picket infill, and integrated intercom or keypad systems wired back to your home. Every security installation includes a photographed wiring diagram and a written record of access codes, relay configurations, and safety-device placements - the same documentation Adrian Vance developed on commercial sites starting in 2014.

Brands We Service for Gate Installation

We install and service nine major gate-automation brands, which means we can work with whatever motor is already on your Roswell property rather than steering you toward an unnecessary replacement. For LiftMaster installations, we’ve wired hundreds of their Elite Series and LA400 units into residential systems across north metro Atlanta, and we stock common arm assemblies and control boards for same-week completion when a component fails during commissioning. Our FAAC experience runs deep on both their hydraulic 400-series and electromechanical 740/741 operators - we know the pressure settings and limit-switch procedures that prevent the over-travel faults common in DIY installations. With Mighty Mule, we’ve converted many starter-kit installations into properly engineered systems by adding external loop detectors, upgrading to continuous-duty transformers, and reinforcing the mounting posts that lightweight kits often underestimate.

We also service and install BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite operators. Whether you have a brand-new BFT Deimos with built-in Bluetooth or a 15-year-old DoorKing 9100 that needs a modern safety retrofit, we can source parts, program controls, and leave you with a documented record of every setting. If you’re starting fresh, we’ll recommend the right brand and model for your gate’s weight, daily cycle count, and Roswell’s climate - not whichever unit carries the highest margin.

Signs You Need Gate Installation Right Now

• Your existing gate sags or drags on the ground. A gate that no longer swings freely has stressed hinges, a twisted frame, or settled posts - and forcing it accelerates motor failure. In Roswell’s clay soils, post settlement after heavy rains is common; we measure the lean and determine whether post replacement or full gate replacement is the lasting fix.
• The frame is rusted through or rotted at the base. Steel gates in Roswell’s humid summers develop corrosion at the concrete interface, and wood gates absorb ground moisture. Once structural members are compromised, welding patches or wood filler becomes a recurring expense - a new gate with proper drainage detailing costs less over five years.
• You’re adding automation to a manually operated gate never designed for it. Retrofitting motors to gates without reinforced posts, proper hinge alignment, or safety edges creates liability and premature failure. We evaluate whether your existing gate can accept automation properly or whether a purpose-built installation is the safer, more reliable path.
• Your HOA or insurance requires updated safety compliance. Many Roswell subdivisions enacted stricter gate-safety rules after recent liability claims, requiring photo-eyes, edge sensors, and audible warnings. If your gate predates these requirements, full replacement with modern safety integration may be more cost-effective than piecemeal retrofitting.
• The gate no longer matches your property’s security needs. A decorative aluminum gate that was fine for curb appeal may not suffice if you’ve added a pool, home office, or if neighborhood traffic patterns have changed. We install upgraded security gates with integrated access control that grows with your requirements.

Our Gate Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Site measurement and condition documentation. We arrive with a laser measure, post-level, and camera. We record the opening width, check for slope in both directions, photograph existing posts or footings, and note underground utilities or drainage patterns that affect post depth. You get a copy of these photos before we leave the site.
2. 2
   Written scope and price under Haven Standard Clause 1. Within 24 hours, you receive a detailed proposal: gate type and dimensions, material specifications, automation components with brand and model numbers, labor line items, and a total price that does not change unless you change the scope. No “call for quote,” no allowance items that balloon later.
3. 3
   Material procurement and scheduling. Once you approve, we order materials with confirmed lead times and schedule installation. For custom-fabricated steel or aluminum gates, this typically runs 2-4 weeks; standard catalog gates move faster. We communicate arrival dates and reschedule promptly if manufacturer delays occur.
4. 4
   Installation with live documentation. Our technician installs posts in concrete rated for your gate’s weight and wind load, hangs and aligns the gate, wires automation components, and programs all safety devices. Every step is photographed: post depth and rebar, hinge alignment, motor mounting, control wiring, and safety-device placement. Limit-switch positions and force settings are recorded in writing.
5. 5
   Testing, training, and record delivery. We cycle the gate 50+ times under various conditions, demonstrate all access methods, and show you the manual release procedure. Before leaving, we hand you the photo log, written settings record, and a copy of your paid invoice - all filed in our system for future reference under your address.
