The work, named
Built in Lubbock.
Every photo on this page is a real KRS job, captioned with what it actually is: a cantilever slide gate, a cable-rail stair, a rolling library ladder. Grouped by what they are rather than dropped in one pile, so a fence, a pool gate and a wind-corridor cantilever do not all read the same. If one of these is close to what you need, the services pages go deeper, and the shop can tell you fast whether it is a bench job or a site visit.
The work, by type
Slide gates and entrances
Cantilever slide gates and the operators that run them. The most common job that comes through the shop.
A horizontal-slat cantilever gate mid install, the counterbalance truss and baseplates still exposed on fresh concrete. This is the shot that shows how the gate actually carries its own weight before the infill goes on.
A very wide horizontal-slat cantilever gate on a new-build lot, spanning an opening a rolling track gate could not have held square. West Texas sky behind it.
A LiftMaster operator, KRS's own service sticker on the cabinet, mounted beside a black horizontal-slat gate. The operator is usually the first thing that needs attention, long before the steel does.
A wide horizontal-slat slide gate with its operator, set against a ranch fence line under a cloudy West Texas sky. Built for an opening wide enough that a swing gate was never really an option.
Ornamental and residential
Entry gates and decorative panels built for a home rather than a yard, where the finish gets looked at from four feet away.
An arched pedestrian gate with a laser-cut star panel and twisted pickets, set into stone entry columns. Ornamental work at this scale is cut and welded in the shop, then hung to the exact opening.
A decorative fence panel with a rectangular inset motif, running the property line above a putting green. The panel pattern is picked to read from a distance, not just up close.
A slide gate set between limestone entry columns, with cedar-post fence wings running the length of a long drive. The gate reads as part of the approach, not bolted on at the end of it.
A black picket slide gate with X-braced lower panels, set between brick entry columns at a new-build home. The bracing pattern stiffens the leaf without going to a full solid infill.
Cable rail and railing
Cable rail on stairs, pools and garden gates, where keeping the sightline open matters as much as the barrier itself.
A curved cable-rail stair railing following a limestone garden wall. Cable rail keeps the sightline open where a picket run would block the view.
A black cable-rail pool gate and matching railing at a brick home. Self-closing, self-latching hardware around a pool is not optional, and it shows in the detail here.
A black cable-rail garden gate set against a run of horizontal cedar and brick fence. Cable rail here keeps the fence line from reading as one solid wall.
Close detail of a matched pair of cable-rail gates with D&D MagnaLatch hardware. The hardware choice is as much a part of the job as the welding.
Commercial and industrial
Yard security and heavy-duty gates built for a site, not a street.
A long black picket cantilever gate closing a commercial yard, the site's own fleet trucks staged behind it. Nothing crosses the drive; the gate carries itself on rollers set back on the fence line.
A heavy galvanized cantilever gate with corrugated infill and razor wire above, a DKS operator carrying the KRS service sticker. Built for a site where the spec is written by an insurance policy, not a homeowner.
Shop one-offs
Work that never touches a fence line at all.
A black steel rolling library ladder on a rail, built for a custom pantry. Not every job that comes through the shop is a gate.
