Fast, Reliable Gate Installation Across Conway
Gate installation in Conway, FL typically runs $2,800-$6,500 for a complete residential system, with most projects finished in one day and pricing set before work begins. Ironworks Gate Co. has been installing and automating gates across Orange County since 1984, and our crews know the 32812 corridor well, from the lakefront ranches along Lake Conway to the alley-load townhomes near Curry Ford Road. We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (833) 754-7503, and we carry the equipment to handle Conway’s specific challenges: shifting lake-margin soils, aging wrought-iron frames, and lightning-prone automation systems.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Conway’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
We’ve been serving Conway homeowners for decades, and we understand what lasts here. The 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level homes that dominate this area were built during Orange County’s post-Disney boom, and many still run their original ornamental gates. Those installations weren’t designed for modern automation, and the humid lake air hasn’t been kind to them. We see the rust, the failed welds, the posts that have slowly canted into saturated soil, and we know how to fix it properly.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine gate-automation brands, including FAAC, BFT, and Viking, so the correct part is on the truck for the first visit. Most jobs are completed in a single day. Every installation carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise, the Keystone Standard, with no paperwork and no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.
A live person answers every call, day or night. No voicemail trees. No callback queues. No waiting until Monday for a gate that won’t close on Friday evening.
Our Gate Installation Services in Conway
Swing Gate Installation
Swing gates remain the most common type in Conway’s established neighborhoods, and they’re what we install most often here. The original wrought-iron and tubular-steel swing gates on 32812 homes were built for manual operation, not motors, and retrofitting them demands precise hinge alignment and post plumb. Because Conway’s lake-margin soils shift so readily, we frequently re-plumb posts with fast-set concrete before mounting new operators, ensuring the gate tracks true through its arc. We install single and double swing systems with operators from LiftMaster, FAAC, and Viking, sized to the gate weight and wind load.
Security Gate Installation
For Conway homeowners who want controlled access and clear boundaries, we install security gates with keypad entry, telephone entry systems, and rolling-code remote access. These systems are particularly valuable on the tighter lots near Lake Conway and Little Lake Conway, where alley access and limited street parking make controlled entry essential. We spec surge-protected control boards as standard, because Conway sits in Central Florida’s Lightning Alley, and a fried board on a Friday night is a problem we intend to prevent.
Double Gate Installation
Double gates, or bi-parting swing gates, suit wider Conway driveways and estate entrances along the Conway Chain of Lakes. These systems require perfectly matched operators and precise synchronization, especially when the original posts have settled unevenly. We measure, re-plumb if needed, and install matched operator pairs with safety entrapment devices, ensuring both leaves close in unison even after years of soil movement. Our upfront pricing covers the full scope, including any post work required to make the automation reliable.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates work well on Conway properties with limited swing clearance or steep driveway grades leading down to the lake. We install cantilever and track-mounted systems with heavy-duty rollers and galvanized track, spec’d for the humidity that accelerates corrosion here. The track foundation is critical, and we pour concrete footings below the unstable organic layer wherever possible, giving the system a stable base that outlasts the typical install.
Driveway Gate Installation
Our Gate Installation team handles complete driveway gate systems from post to keypad, whether you’re replacing a failing original or adding a first gate to a property that has never had one. We work with aluminum, steel, and wrought iron, and we weld custom frames on-site when standard sizes don’t fit Conway’s non-standard older openings.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
Pedestrian gates complement driveway systems on larger Conway lakefront properties, providing separate foot access without compromising the main gate’s security schedule. We match materials and finishes to the existing driveway gate, and we can integrate keypad or card access for pool areas, guest cottages, or dock access paths.

Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We stock parts and carry installation kits for nine major automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Conway customers, this means we don’t order parts and make you wait. We diagnose, pull the correct component, and finish. Our trucks carry FAAC and BFT hydraulic operator kits, Viking slide and swing assemblies, and Linear access control modules, so the specific fix for your gate is already on hand. This matters in Conway, where a gate that won’t close during an afternoon thunderstorm is more than an inconvenience, it’s an exposed driveway until we arrive.
Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Posts heaving and leaning in saturated lake-margin soil. The organic, water-saturated fill along the Conway Chain of Lakes destabilizes gate post footings faster than almost anywhere else in Orange County. We regularly find posts that were plumb at installation but have canted 2-4 inches, throwing swing gates out of alignment and stressing automation hardware. Re-plumbing with fast-set concrete is standard procedure on our Conway calls.
- Rust-weakened welds and seized hinges on 40-60-year-old wrought iron. The 1960s-1980s ranch homes in 32812 often still run their original ornamental gates. Decades of Central Florida humidity have rotted the welds and frozen the hinges. We cut out failed sections, fabricate replacements, and weld them solid, or we build new custom frames when the original is too far gone.
- Lightning-fried control boards and surge damage. Conway’s position in the I-4 corridor’s Lightning Alley means intense afternoon thunderstorms from June through September routinely destroy unprotected automation electronics. We install surge-protected control boards and grounded wiring as standard, not as an upsell.
- Misaligned automation on gates never designed for motors. Original Conway gates were built for manual latching, not the repeated cycling and load of automated operation. Hinge points, post strength, and gate weight distribution all need evaluation before adding operators. We assess the full system and reinforce where needed, so the automation lasts.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Conway
Yes, lakefront properties in Conway typically need operators with stronger post mounting and corrosion-resistant hardware, because the humid, salt-tinged air and shifting soils stress standard equipment faster. We spec marine-grade finishes and reinforced hinge brackets on Conway lakefront installs, and we always re-plumb posts with fast-set concrete before mounting operators. Call (833) 754-7503 to discuss your specific lakefront setup.
Yes, we regularly install gates in Conway’s alley-load and townhome configurations, where tight clearances and shared access require precise measurement and compact operator placement. On a narrow alley-load townhome near Lake Conway, our crew replaced a seized 1970s tubular-steel swing gate with a pair of LiftMaster swing operators and rolling-code remotes. The original post had canted 3 inches into the organic fill soil, so we re-plumbed it with fast-set concrete before mounting the new hinges and motor brackets to ensure alignment through the tight entrance clearance. We handle permits and utility clearance checks as part of the job.
We install surge-protected control boards, grounded low-voltage wiring, and whole-system surge arrestors as standard on every Conway automation job. The I-4 corridor records more lightning strikes per square mile than nearly anywhere in North America, and unprotected boards fail routinely. This protection is built into our upfront pricing, not sold separately. Call (833) 754-7503 for a system spec’d for Conway’s storm exposure.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We evaluate every original Conway gate frame on-site for weld integrity, hinge point strength, and weight distribution. Many 1960s-1980s wrought-iron frames can be reinforced and automated successfully. Others have rusted through at critical stress points, and welding new steel is more reliable than patching failed metal. We give you a straight assessment and price both paths, so you can decide.
Aluminum or galvanized steel swing gates with corrosion-resistant hardware and surge-protected automation hold up best on Lake Conway properties, because they resist the elevated ambient humidity and tolerate the soil movement better than untreated wrought iron. Double swing gates suit wider lakefront entrances, while single swings work for standard driveways. We always begin with post stabilization in this ZIP. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll walk your property to spec the right system.
