Gate Types
Temporary Fence Gate Rental Options
Every 6-foot Chain-Link fence panel includes a gate for secure access. Gate swing direction and space depend on your McAllen site's use. This ensures openings are as strong as the fence itself. Call (866) 330-0268 for options regarding situations that need fencing.
Swing Gates
Best for everyday crew entry and pickup access
Single 4-ft walk-through · double 12-ft drive-throughHinged panels pivot on weighted stands, allowing easy passage for people, wheelbarrows, or pickups. A single swing gate handles most needs, while a Double Swing Gate accommodates full-size vehicles. Check rental price ranges on your site. Our 6-Foot Fence Panel line runs $4–$6 per linear foot. It works well.
Cantilever Slide Gates
Best for tight entries and wide equipment openings
Rolls sideways · up to a 20-ft clear spanThe wheeled cantilever Slide Gate rolls parallel to the fence line—never swinging outward—to create a "wide vehicle opening" ideal for loaders, flatbeds, and tight delivery zones tucked against a wall or corner in McAllen, with heavy-duty rollers and a secure latch ensuring smooth, straight operation throughout long-term rentals. It’s part of our full rental fencing for any site. Simple.
Sized Openings
Pedestrian and Vehicle Openings
On a McAllen jobsite or event perimeter, we size each opening to "the widest thing that has to get through"—tight enough to maintain control, wide enough to avoid forcing equipment or vehicles between panels, and if you need to block sightlines, pair it with the windscreen and privacy mesh we deliver. Keep access practical.
3–4 ft
Pedestrian openings
We install efficient pedestrian gates in McAllen. Our self-closing gate options ensure your site remains secure, while our team performs regular footing and screen checks to keep hinges swinging freely despite the heavy rain and flooding risks that frequently impact our flat, low-lying South Texas terrain. Call (866) 330-0268.
12–20 ft
Vehicle & equipment openings
Our drive-through span accommodates pickups, flatbeds, forklifts, and loaders. The Double Swing Gates cover the mid-range, while the cantilever slide gate opens the full 20-foot clear span for McAllen jobs, allowing big equipment to roll straight through easily.
Access Control
Padlock, Keypad, and Badge Access
The lock ladder system enables site access control by shipping each gate with a heavy steel hasp, ready for a padlock, keypad, or badge reader. This allows a "controlled single-entry site," crucial in McAllen where safety and compliance are key. The same hardware secures the event perimeter fencing we deliver for temporary events, keeping access tight and secure.
- Padlocks & hasps — keyed-alike padlocks so one key opens every gate on the site, or bring your own to the steel hasps.
- Keypad locks — code entry you can change between crews or shifts, so no keys go missing and no lock has to be re-cut.
- Badge access — credential readers for controlled sites that need a record of who came through the gate and when.
- Bolt-cutter-resistant latch — an Ultra Latch-type security latch that hides the shackle a cutter needs, for high-theft and high-vandalism sites.
For installation on asphalt or concrete, we use Hilti anchors to bolt the gate stands into the ground to prevent shifting or lifting.
We help you determine the right security specs for your site when you call (866) 330-0268.
Gate & Access FAQ
Questions about gates and access
Can the gate use the same key as my other site locks?
We provide keyed-alike padlocks for every Temporary Fence & Gate Rentals site in McAllen so your team manages one key, or you may use our steel hasps for your own locks where "access never depends on a lost key." See gate hardware guidance. Use keypad options.
How wide can a vehicle opening be?
We size gates for your specific equipment. On any McAllen, TX site, our Double Swing Gates cover openings up to 12 feet, while a cantilever slide gate opens a clear span up to 20 feet if you need wider vehicle access. Call (866) 330-0268.
Will the gate stand up to bolt cutters?
Our hardware provides reliable security. Standard hasps take hardened padlocks, but for high-theft sites we install an Ultra Latch to remove the exposed shackle that bolt cutters typically target. Call (866) 330-0268.
Do the gates work with my existing chain-link run?
Your perimeter remains fully secure. Because our gates integrate into the same 6-foot panel line as the rest of the run, your opening is as solid as the fence across McAllen, TX, with professional installation and removal included. Call (866) 330-0268.
Can you anchor a gate on pavement?
Most gates do not require drilling. Free-standing weighted stands sit on most surfaces, but for high-traffic openings we use Hilti anchors to bolt the stands into asphalt or concrete so the gate stays put.
