MANSFIELD, TX – July 14, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Double Eagle Fence, a locally owned fence contractor serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area, is placing greater emphasis on custom gate and access control installation for residential and commercial property owners. The company builds gates and entry systems as part of a complete fence line, rather than treating them as separate add-ons.
Double Eagle Fence installs automatic, manual, and chain link gates, giving property owners options suited to different access needs and budgets. Manual gates fit many residential properties, while automatic systems suit homeowners and businesses that need hands-free entry for vehicles or frequent traffic. The company builds each gate to match the fence materials it installs, including wood, chain link, ornamental iron, wrought iron, and brick, so a gate blends with the surrounding fence line instead of standing apart from it.
The company also installs gate operators, the mechanical systems that power automatic opening and closing. An operator must be sized to the gate’s weight and the property’s daily usage, since an undersized unit wears out faster and leads to ongoing maintenance. Correct operator selection matters most for commercial properties, where gates cycle frequently throughout the day and downtime carries a cost.
Gate automation also depends on the property’s layout. A swing gate needs clear arc space to open, while a sliding gate suits driveways where space is tight or the grade is uneven. Safety sensors that stop a gate when something crosses its path, along with a backup power source, are common considerations for automated systems that operate near vehicles and foot traffic.
“A gate is the one part of a fence that moves every day, so it has to be built and powered for the way a property actually uses it,” said Lance Dunaway, owner of Double Eagle Fence. “Matching the gate to the surrounding fence and sizing the operator to the workload is what keeps the system running years after it goes in.”
For properties that need managed entry, Double Eagle Fence installs access control systems that determine who can enter and when. Access control can take different forms, from a keypad or callbox at a residential entry to a system that logs and manages entry at a commercial site, and the right setup depends on how much traffic a property sees. This work pairs with the company’s commercial fencing in chain link, ornamental iron, and wrought iron, allowing a single coordinated point of entry that is easier to monitor than an open fence line. The combination is a common request among commercial sites where unrestricted access raises liability concerns.
“Access control only works when it fits the property,” said Dunaway. “A homeowner may just want a keypad at the driveway, while a commercial site needs to know who came through the gate and when. The fencing and the entry system have to be planned together.”
Because Double Eagle Fence installs both residential and commercial fencing across the materials it offers, gate and access control work can be handled as part of a complete fencing plan. The company’s experience across fence types informs how each gate is designed, since gate hardware, swing, and automation behave differently depending on the fence material and the property layout.
