Gate installation

Built for Performance. 
Delivered with Precision.

Our AFA-certified technicians install commercial-grade automated gate systems that are built to last and built for your site’s specific security goals and operating needs. Whether your facility needs a sliding gate for tight quarters, a cantilever for uneven terrain, or a swing gate that blends with existing architecture, we deliver a turnkey solution with precise attention to code, safety, and long-term performance.

Crusader Gate Systems works with all major automated gate types: slide, cantilever, swing, vertical pivot, vertical lift, bi-fold, and barrier arms. We pair them with proven operator systems from leading brands, including HySecurity, LiftMaster, Doorking, Viking, Linear, TyMetal, and Delta Scientific. Our team handles every phase from design to structural steel fabrication and motor configuration.

Gate Types

Automated gate types are defined by their structure, how they move, materials, and finishes. Different types of gates have variable space and support requirements, as well as tolerances for frequency of use, weather conditions, and crash impact. Optimal gate selection is based on site constraints, usage patterns, and operational requirements.

Gate Type
Key Feature
Ideal Use
Gate Type Slide Gate
Key Feature
Moves laterally along a track or rail system
Ideal Use

Sites with long perimeters and limited swing clearance

Gate Type Cantilever Gate
Key Feature
Suspended gate that glides without a ground track

Parking garages, office campuses, and light-security checkpoints

Operator Systems

Selecting the right motor system for your specific situation is critical to ensure consistent uptime, appropriate force/speed, and smooth integration with access controls. Crusader Gate works with industry-leading chain-driven, gear-driven, and hydraulic system manufacturers to reliably support your automated gate type, usage volume, and security needs. We install most commercial motor brands, including:

What to Expect

Every secure, reliable gate system starts with a clear plan and ends with seamless integration. Beyond hardware installation, automated gates depend on identifying early-stage factors that impact long-term performance, safety, and aesthetics. We work closely with you and your site partners to ensure long-term performance, safety, and peace of mind.
