Gate Repair & Installation in Katy, TX
Automatic gate repair, operator installation, and access control for homes and businesses across Katy – from Cinco Ranch to Cross Creek Ranch. Authorized LiftMaster dealer, in-house welding, family-owned since 1995.
Gate Service for Katy Homes & Businesses
Katy's gated communities and acreage properties run on automatic gates – swing operators on driveway gates, slide operators on the longer runs, and keypad or telephone-entry access at neighborhood and business entrances. When one of those fails, the property is either stuck open or locked shut, and it needs to be back in service quickly.
Preferred Doors LLC is a family-owned company in business since 1995, serving Katy and the greater Houston area. As an authorized LiftMaster dealer – one of only a handful in the Houston Metro – we install, repair, and program LiftMaster gate operators, add and service access control, and handle the structural side in-house with our own welding. We work throughout Katy's communities, including Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, and Cross Creek Ranch.

Do you service gates in my Katy community?
We service automatic gates throughout Katy, including Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, and Cross Creek Ranch, plus surrounding neighborhoods and acreage properties. If you're in the Katy area, call us at 281-579-8400 and we'll confirm scheduling.
Do you repair all gate operator brands, or only LiftMaster?
We're an authorized LiftMaster dealer, so we know those operators in depth, but we service and repair other common gate operator brands found on Katy properties as well. We diagnose the whole system before recommending repair or replacement.
My gate opens but won't close. What's wrong?
On automatic gates this is almost always the photo eyes – the safety beam that stops the gate closing on a vehicle or person. A dirty, misaligned, or failed sensor reads as an obstruction, so the gate refuses to close. We clean, align, or replace the sensor and verify the safety circuit.
Can you handle both the operator and the gate structure?
Yes – that's a real advantage of working with us. Many gate problems are structural (a sagging gate that strains the operator), and because we weld in-house, we fix the frame, hinges, or posts and the operator together, so the repair holds.
Do you also do garage doors in Katy?
Yes. Garage doors are our core service, and we're family-owned and in business since 1995. See our Katy garage door repair page – same company, same crew, same standards.
