Franklin's Gate Repair & Installation Team
Elantra Gate Systems has been designing, installing and servicing automated gates in Middle Tennessee since 1999, and Williamson County is one of our busiest areas. In Franklin we work on everything from custom driveway gates for homes near downtown and in neighborhoods like Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms and McKay's Mill to estate and farm entrances out in Leiper's Fork, College Grove and Arrington. We also install entrance gates and amenity access for HOA communities, and commercial gates and parking control for offices, medical buildings and businesses in Cool Springs.
Whether your gate stopped working this morning or you're planning a brand-new system, our technicians handle the full job: diagnosis, repair, fabrication, installation and ongoing maintenance.
Gates for farms, horses and historic homes. The countryside around Franklin is horse country, and a gate on an equestrian property has to be safe around animals. That means smooth surfaces, spacing that won't trap a hoof or halter, sensitive obstruction detection and openings wide enough for trailers. Closer to town, many homes sit in historic areas or HOAs that review gate designs before anything is built. We design for both, with drawings and material samples to support approvals and gates that look right for the property.

Franklin Gate FAQs
Do you repair gates in Franklin, TN?
Yes. We repair and install residential, farm, commercial and HOA gates throughout Franklin and Williamson County, including Cool Springs, Leiper's Fork, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, Nolensville, College Grove and Arrington.
Can you fix a gate that someone else installed?
Yes. Our technicians work on all major gate operators and access control brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, Viking Access, USAutomatic, DoorKing, Apollo, HySecurity and CellGate, regardless of who installed the system.
Do you build automatic gates for horse farms?
Yes. Gates around horses need extra care: smooth surfaces and spacing that won't trap a hoof or halter, sensitive obstruction detection, controlled open and close speeds, and openings wide enough for horse trailers. We design equestrian gates with animal safety in mind, along with remote and app access for farm staff and deliveries.
My home is in a historic area. Can I still add a gate?
Often, yes. Properties in historic districts and many Williamson County HOAs require design review before a gate or fence is installed. We provide detailed drawings and material samples, recommend designs that suit the home's architecture, and help you through the approval process.
How much does a new driveway gate cost in Franklin?
Residential gate installations generally range from $5,000 to $35,000 depending on size, materials, columns, automation and access control. Custom estate and farm entrances with masonry or long power runs are typically at the higher end. See our driveway gate cost guide for more.
