If a new gate is also needed, add time for gate construction and installation.

Equipment ordering may add lead time. We advise during planning.

Tulsa-Specific Considerations

Oklahoma weather affects gate operators. Ice, heat, wind, all of it. We specify equipment rated for the conditions.

Power outages require consideration. Most systems include manual release. Battery backup is optional for continued operation during outages.

Safety codes apply to automatic gates. We install required safety devices to meet UL 325 standards.
