Automatic Driveway
Gates in Preston Hollow
Award-winning custom automatic driveway gates designed, fabricated, and installed for luxury homes in Preston Hollow and throughout Dallas-Fort Worth..
Custom Automatic Driveway Gates Built for Your Property
Drive the lanes off Preston Road and you notice the gates before you notice the houses. On an estate lot in Preston Hollow, the gate is the introduction, and it has to hold up to the architecture behind it. So we build each one for that one driveway, on paper first and then in steel, whether the site calls for a single-swing, a pair of swing leaves, or a slide. We engineer the system to keep working for as long as the house stands, not just until the warranty paperwork expires.

Automatic gate operators installed to a professional standard, with smart access, safety devices, and the kind of everyday reliability a busy household depends on.
Why Lambert’s Ironworks?
Award-Winning Craftsmanship
The American Fence Association, Fort Worth Magazine, and 76092 Magazine have all recognized our craftsmanship and quality.
Built for Your Property
We measure, design, and fabricate every gate for a single home. When the house itself was designed with this much intent, anything less than a one-off gate looks wrong at the curb.
In-House Design, Fabrication & Installation
Design through installation stays with our own team, almost without exception. That lets us keep quality where we set it, talk to you directly, and own the finished result instead of pointing at a subcontractor.
Professional Gate Automation
Electric gate systems with smart access and safety features, engineered to open and close reliably every day of the year.
Built to Last
Heavy-gauge steel and finishes that hold up to Texas sun, wind, and storms. A gate should keep its structure and its looks for decades, and ours do.
From Vision to Installation
Bring us full architectural drawings, a photo you saved from a trip to Highland Park, or a sketch on the back of an envelope. We can start from any of them and arrive at a gate that fits the property and stays faithful to the idea.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permits for an automatic gate installation?
Usually, yes. Permit rules differ from one Texas city or county to the next, and neighborhoods with architectural review boards, which describes a good share of Preston Hollow, add a second approval on top of the city permit. Lambert’s Ironworks checks what applies to your specific property and runs the process when one is required, so your automatic driveway gates meet code and the schedule doesn’t slip waiting on paperwork.
Do you offer custom design options with gate openers?
Yes. Every project begins as a custom layout, and the design conversation and the function conversation are the same conversation. We fabricate custom driveway gates in steel, work wrought iron gates and detailing into the design where it belongs, and pick gate openers that match how the property actually gets used.
Do you design and install automatic driveway gates in Preston Hollow?
Yes. Designing, fabricating, and installing automatic driveway gates in Preston Hollow and across North Texas is the core of what we do. That runs from custom driveway gates through solar-powered and electric driveway gates, and we work with homeowners, custom home builders, developers, and contractors throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.
Do you install electric or solar-powered driveway gates?
Both. Most of the gates we install run on dependable electric automation. We put in solar-powered systems where the site supports them, and we decide that based on sun exposure, how often the gate will cycle, and the conditions at the entrance.
Who handles installation for my automatic driveway gates?
Our in-house team does, from design and fabrication through installation and automation. Very little leaves our hands, by design. Once a project is split among outside crews, quality control, communication, and accountability all start to slip.
Do you install automatic driveway gate systems?
Yes. We install complete automatic driveway gate systems built around dependable electric gate systems and access control. Solar-powered driveway gates are available alongside electric driveway gates.
Every setup balances security, convenience, and the curb appeal of the home, so the finished entrance looks clean and intentional rather than bolted on.
What is the difference between a slide gate and a swing gate?
A slide gate rides on a track and suits tight spaces or a sloped driveway. A swing gate opens in or out and suits wider, flatter approaches. Preston Hollow has both: deep estate lots where a pair of swing leaves looks right, and tighter frontages near Walnut Hill where a slide makes more sense. We look at the layout before recommending one.
How much maintenance do automatic driveway gates require?
Not much. Occasional cleaning and periodic checks on the moving parts keep a gate running smoothly for years. Electric driveway gates have motors and control systems, and those are the parts that deserve a regular inspection.
How much does an automatic driveway gate cost?
It depends on the project. Gate size, design complexity, the automation package, and site conditions all move the number. Our Dallas Driveway Cost Guide walks through each of those variables, and you can reach out any time for a custom quote.
Are automatic driveway gates secure?
Yes. Controlling the entry point is where residential security starts, and that is precisely what a driveway gate does. Built solidly and paired with a modern access system, it keeps the property protected while daily comings and goings stay easy.
