Built For The Upstate
Automatic gates engineered for your property.
Hershberger Automatic Gate Operators installs fully customized automatic gate systems across Upstate South Carolina. Whether you’re securing a long residential driveway in Anderson, a commercial entrance in Greenville, a farm gate in Pickens County, or an industrial yard outside Spartanburg, we build the installation around your property — not the other way around. Every job starts with a free on-site visit so we can take measurements, look at your power supply, check soil and grade at the entrance, and talk through how you actually use the gate day to day.
Our automatic gate installations include single-swing gates, dual-swing gates, ornamental aluminum gates, and custom ornamental entry gates, engineered for the gate’s actual weight and cycle frequency.
Gate Types We Install
Right gate for the property.
Single Swing Gates
The most common residential driveway gate. One gate panel swings open from a hinge post. Cleanest look on shorter driveways. Powered by an articulating arm or underground operator.
Dual Swing Gates
Two gate panels meeting in the middle. Right for wider entrances and longer driveways. Symmetrical look, balanced load. Two operators or one with a slave drive.
Ornamental Iron Gates
Custom ornamental iron gates with finial tops, bell arches, and scrollwork — installed and automated to swing reliably for years.
Farm & Ranch Gates
Heavy-gauge tube and panel gates for farms, ranches, and acreage. Solar-powered operators available for entrances without nearby grid power.

Common Questions
Automatic gate installation FAQ.
How much does automatic gate installation cost in Upstate SC?
A complete residential automatic gate install in the Upstate typically starts in the low five figures for a single-swing setup with a solid operator and basic access control, and scales up from there for dual-swing or custom ornamental gates with full safety devices, custom hardware, and longer conduit runs. The honest answer: every property is different. Call us at (864) 958-9928 for a free on-site quote.
What gate operator brands do you install?
We install Ghost Controls automatic gate operators on every job — a reliable, solar-friendly system we know inside and out. We size the right Ghost model to your gate weight and daily cycle count.
Do you install automatic gates on existing fence lines?
Yes. If you already have a fence and just need an automated entry point added, we can engineer the gate and operator to integrate with what’s there. Older fences sometimes need a reinforced gate post — we’ll flag that during the site visit.
Do I need a permit to install an automatic gate in South Carolina?
It depends on the city or county. Many residential gates in unincorporated Upstate counties don’t require a permit, but anything with new electrical service or commercial installations usually does. We’ll handle the permit process where required.
How long does an automatic gate last?
A well-installed gate with a properly sized operator can run for 10 to 15 years with routine maintenance. The structure usually outlasts the operator. We service every gate we install and can do annual maintenance check-ups to extend the system’s life.
Can I open the gate if the power goes out?
Yes. Every operator we install has a manual release that lets you open the gate by hand during a power outage. We’ll show you exactly how to use it during the install walkthrough.
