Gates
Custom slide gates
Cantilever slide gates built to the opening you have, from a ranch entrance to an industrial yard. Nothing runs across the drive.

Gates that still slide true in year ten.
KRS Fabrications builds cantilever slide gates, operators, metal fencing and one-off steel for homes, businesses and industry across the South Plains. Twenty-two years of it, welded here.
What you are actually buying
A cantilever gate, named part by part
This one is ours, photographed mid install before the infill went on. Most gate quotes describe a picture. Here is the same gate described the way the shop talks about it.
Six things the shop does
Gates first. Then everything else steel.
The four services the shop lists, plus the two that get mentioned once and never explained anywhere else. Each one has its own page, because a one line description is not an answer.
- Automatic gate operatorsResidential and commercial operators, installed on new gates or retrofitted to a gate already hanging. Service and repair after, too.Gate operators
- Metal fencingPicket, panel and ornamental fence lines in steel, from a pool enclosure to a secured commercial perimeter.Metal fencing
- Metal fabricationHandrails, cable rail, bollards, brackets and one-off pieces. If it can be drawn, it can be cut, welded and hung.Metal fabrication
- Aluminum weldingAluminum welding and repair, which most gate shops send out. Bring the part in or send a photo of the break.Aluminum welding
- Wind energy toolingCustom tooling and fixtures fabricated to a drawing for turbine crews working the West Texas corridor.Wind energy tooling
Residential, commercial, industrial
Three different customers, one bench.
A homeowner is buying a first impression. A facility manager is buying a gate that opens four hundred times a week. A turbine crew is buying a part that matches a drawing. Same welder, three completely different conversations.
Residential
The entrance to the place you live
Ornamental entry gates, pedestrian gates, pool and patio rail, cable rail on a stair. This is where the laser-cut panels and the twisted pickets go, and where the finish gets looked at from four feet away every single day.
Commercial
A perimeter that has to open all day
Slide gates on operators at a yard entrance, picket fence lines, panels that take a truck mirror and keep their line. Built for a cycle count nobody counts, and serviced afterwards by the shop that welded it.
Industrial and wind energy
Steel that answers to a drawing
Galvanized cantilever gates behind razor wire, heavy corrugated infill, and custom tooling fabricated for wind turbine crews. Different tolerances, different paperwork, same welding bench.
Five reviews, five stars
The people who came back.
Every review KRS has on Google is a five. What is worth reading in them is not the star count, it is that two of the four describe a second job: the fence at the house first, then the whole business.
Since 2004
Twenty-two years of gates on the South Plains, and the same shop still answers the phone for the service call afterwards.
“KRS Fabrications truly stands out when it comes to craftsmanship. The level of skill, precision, and pride they put into their work is rare to find these days.”
“The attention to detail and quality of work on all automatic gates is top notch!!! After installation KRS is absolutely the best in the business at service and repairs!! It is hard to find a company that stands behind their work and will get any repairs or service work done ASAP.”
“Kelly built be a security fence at my house with custom gates. There attention to detail was so great and craftmanship so impressive I had them do our entire business after this. Including on amazing electric swing gate and one slide gate. There skill in my opinion is unmatched.”
Before you call
The six questions the shop gets most.
If yours is not here, the phone is quicker than a form. Kelly is in the shop Monday to Friday, eight to five.
A cantilever gate carries its own weight on rollers set back behind the opening, so nothing runs across the drive. There is no track in the ground to fill with caliche dust, gravel or ice, and nothing for a low trailer to catch. On an exposed South Plains property that is usually the difference between a gate that still works in year ten and one that binds every winter.
All three. The same shop that builds security fence and heavy industrial slide gates also builds ornamental pedestrian gates, cable rail and one-off pieces for houses. The work on this site runs from a laser-cut entry gate on a brick home to a galvanized cantilever gate behind razor wire.
Often, yes. It depends on how the existing gate is built, how square and true it still runs, and whether there is power at the opening. Send a photo of the gate and the post it hangs on and we can tell you what is realistic before anyone drives out.
Custom tooling and fixtures fabricated for wind turbine crews working the West Texas corridor. It is one-off metal built to a drawing rather than a catalog part, and it is the same welding and machining discipline that goes into the gates.
Yes. Aluminum welding and repair is one of the four things the shop lists, alongside gates, operators and general metal fabrication. Bring the part in or send a photo of the break.

Lubbock and West Texas
Tell us the opening width and what has to get through it.
That one measurement decides most of the rest: cantilever or swing, how much steel, what the operator has to pull. Call the shop, or send the width, the approach and a photo of where it goes.
