Henderson Sliding & Rolling Gates — Residential & Commercial

Henderson Gate Pros provides professional sliding & rolling gates in Henderson, NV for residential and commercial properties across the Las Vegas Valley. Sliding gates are the answer when the driveway slopes up, when there is no arc room for a leaf to swing, or when a car would otherwise have to wait in the road while the gate opens. We build and repair rolling V-track slide gates and cantilever slide gates in steel and aluminum, with sealed-bearing rollers and covered track wherever the design allows it, because open track in this valley fills with grit. There are two families and they behave differently. A rolling gate carries its weight on wheels that run in a V-track set into the driveway apron or along the fence line, which is the cheaper build and the one that needs a clean, level running surface. A cantilever gate carries its weight on truck assemblies mounted to posts set back from the opening, so nothing crosses the driveway and nothing collects debris. Rolling gates need side room roughly equal to the opening plus overlap. Cantilever gates need about 50 percent more than the opening because the counterbalance tail has to extend past the rear truck. That side room requirement is the constraint that decides most jobs, and it is worth measuring before you fall in love with a design. Track is where local conditions decide the maintenance schedule. Fine desert dust and the small gravel that washes off a decomposed granite yard pack into a V-track and into unsealed roller bearings, and once that happens the gate starts to grind, then to skip, then to drag the operator into an overload fault. It is the single most common slide gate failure we get called out for, and it is almost never the motor. We spec sealed-bearing rollers, keep track runs covered or lipped where the design allows, and tell customers plainly that a broom and a shop vacuum twice a year will outlast any part we can sell them. Operators for sliders are their own decision. Chain-drive units are inexpensive and forgiving on long gates. Gear-rack drives are quieter, more precise, and hold position better on a slope, and they are what we put on anything with a high cycle count. Either way the operator gets sized to gate weight and duty cycle, not to the invoice: an undersized slide operator dragging a heavy gate is the fastest way we know to turn a fifteen-year unit into a four-year unit. Safety on a slide gate is not optional and is different from a swing gate. The leading edge and the receiving pocket are both entrapment zones, so we install monitored photo eyes on both sides of the opening, safety edges on the leading and trailing edges where UL 325 calls for them, and safety loops that hold the gate open while a vehicle sits in the opening. Expect $110 to $200 per installed foot as a rough planning figure for a fabricated steel slide gate before automation, more for a cantilever with heavy posts and footings. Repairs we handle: roller and truck replacement, bent track straightening, re-welding cracked frames, realigning gates that have drifted out of plumb, gear rack replacement, and replacing operators that have been running past their limits for years.
