Gate Installation and Electric Gate Operators in Midland–Odessa
All-State builds gates in our own shop, hangs them on site, automates them with LiftMaster operators, and services the operators afterward — for oilfield sites, yards, plants and homes across Midland, Odessa and the Permian Basin. If the gate you have is sound and the opener is dead, we fix that too. We’ve built fence and gates in West Texas since 1979, and the Midland & Odessa Fence Supply Center sits on Highway 191 between the two cities.
What gate work do we do in Midland–Odessa?
Build and hang a new gate. Custom welded double-swing gates and cantilever roll gates, sized to your opening rather than your opening sized to a gate off a shelf.
Put an operator on a new gate or the gate you already have. Our standard commercial operator is the LiftMaster Elite 3000 — one horsepower, two transmitters with each unit. We install it on gates we build and on existing gates, and we diagnose and repair operators of every make and model.
Add access control. Push-button entry on an in-ground pedestal, proximity card readers and cards, keypads, and underground exit loops.
Repair gate operators. We repair electric gate operators of all makes and models, including ones we didn’t install. Our technician diagnoses the operator on site first; depending on how busy our technicians are, that can be as soon as a day or up to a week out.
Walk gates with panic hardware for fenced commercial sites that need egress.
Swing gate or cantilever gate?
For anything a truck drives through every day, we usually recommend a cantilever roll gate over a double swing. A cantilever is the heaviest gate we fabricate, and it needs the least maintenance over time. It rolls parallel with the fence line, so it doesn’t take up any room inside your yard — you can still park a vehicle or stack materials near the gate, which you can’t do with a swing gate. And if you ever add an electric gate operator, a cantilever gate is a lot cheaper to automate.
A swing gate still makes sense on a narrow opening with room to swing, and it’s usually the simpler install. Tell us the opening width and how the gate gets used, and we’ll say which one we’d put in.
How does access control work on a site?
It’s built around how the site actually runs. A push-button pedestal at the entry for visitors and deliveries. Proximity card readers for crews and contractors, so you can shut off one card instead of changing everyone’s code. Keypads where a code is easier to manage than cards. And an underground exit loop, so a loaded truck leaving the yard opens the gate without a driver reaching out the window in the dark.
My electric gate operator is not working. Can you fix it?
Yes. We repair all makes and models. We first send our technician out to your job site to diagnose the problem, and we charge a fee for that visit, just like an appliance repair company or an electrician charges to look at a repair at your home. The diagnostic fee is $196.00 (includes tax).
Call the office closest to your location — our Midland, Lubbock or Amarillo & Canyon Fence Supply Center — to get on our schedule, and we’ll diagnose your operator as soon as possible. Oftentimes our tech can fix the problem while on site if parts are not needed. If parts are needed, we’ll give you a free estimate to repair your operator. If the operator will cost more to repair than to replace, our tech will let you know, and we’ll give you a free estimate to replace the operator, accessories and access control if applicable. Either way, the diagnostic fee is still due.
What changes the price of a gate?
The type and size of the gate matters most: a standard walk gate, a large double gate and a cantilever gate are very different jobs. After that: whether it’s automated and what access control goes with it, the post schedule the gate needs, rock and ground conditions — in the Basin, the caliche and rock under the dirt can add real time and equipment to setting posts — and how far the site is from our Fence Supply Center. Every gate is priced after we see the opening.
How soon can you start?
Any job that sets posts waits two business days for “One Call” to locate underground lines before we dig. Texas law requires it, and it protects your lines as much as ours. Small repairs that don’t set posts can usually be worked in within a day or two, sometimes a week. An operator diagnosis can be as soon as a day to a week out, depending on how busy our technicians are. New gates and special-order operators run from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the build.
Digging in rock. Gate posts carry more load than fence posts, and the Basin is caliche over rock. Our crews run CAT 299D skid steers with augers built for it, so gate post holes come out at full depth and diameter and the concrete can do its job. A gate post set shallow is how a gate stops closing true after the first hard wind.
Buy the gate or hardware at the counter
Hinges, latches, drop rods, cane bolts, gate wheels and gate kits are at the Highway 191 counter — a wood gate hardware kit starts at $30.80 (October 2026 price), with delivery from $150 and no minimum. The LiftMaster operators and access-control parts we install are sold at the counter too. Gates & gate hardware →

Questions
Do you install automatic gate openers in Midland and Odessa?
Yes. We not only install operators in Midland and Odessa, we also install electric gate operators in all of the Permian Basin area and Eastern New Mexico. We also install gate operators in Lubbock, Amarillo and within a 100-mile radius of each city mentioned above.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Often, yes, if the gate is sound and moves freely. We check the gate, hinges and rollers before adding an operator.
Do you repair electric gate operators that you did not install?
Yes, we repair electric gate operators of all makes and models. There is a fee to diagnose the electric gate operator, so please call our office and we can give you the exact cost to diagnose your operator. The diagnosis could be as soon as a day to a week depending on how busy our technicians are.
Why build a cantilever roll gate instead of a swing gate?
A cantilever gate is the heaviest gate we fabricate, and it requires the least amount of maintenance over time. A cantilever gate is also a lot cheaper if you ever add an electric gate operator.
The cantilever gate rolls parallel with the fence line, so it does not take up any room in your yard. A swing gate takes up room: you cannot park a vehicle near the gate, and you cannot stack materials near the gate.
Why build a cantilever roll gate instead of a slide gate?
The back side of a slide gate is suspended by two pressed steel rollers riding on a track mounted to the fence posts. The front side of the slide gate is suspended by a trolley that rolls on the ground, which will bounce around when opening or closing and cannot be used with an electric gate operator. A slide gate will walk around on the ground if the ground is unlevel, and when you get to the latch post, you may have to pick the gate up and move it up to a foot or more to allow the gate latch to catch the gate.
A cantilever gate is suspended in the front of the gate, and the back end of the gate, which is built with an extension, holds the gate up with heavy-duty rollers mounted to heavy-duty gate posts. If the ground is not level, that will not affect the opening and closing of the gate.
Why does building a fence or a gate take at least two days to start the project?
On any job where we have to excavate post holes to set fence posts or gate posts, we are required by Texas law to contact “One Call” (a company that locates underground lines) before we dig. “One Call” requires that we wait two business days before we dig post holes, to give them time to send one of their techs out to the job site to locate underground lines.
