Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Keller
Gate hinge replacement or custom welding in Keller typically runs $245-$680 depending on the post condition and metal weight, and our crews reach most Keller properties from the DFW metro office within a two-hour window. We’ve worked the ornamental iron gates up and down Bear Creek Parkway, inside the Villages of Woodland Springs, and across the 76244 and 76248 ZIP codes long enough to know exactly what this soil does to a 20-year-old gate post. When you call (806) 484-1837, a live person answers and we schedule a Keller visit on the day you call, usually the same week. Victor Salinas leads our gate parts and welding crew, and every job that leaves his hands is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Key Takeaways:
- Most hinge, post, and custom welding jobs in Keller run $245-$680, priced and agreed before work starts.
- Keller’s Blackland Prairie clay heaves seasonally, so post replacement and re-footing is the most common permanent fix we perform.
- We cut, weld, and re-hang ornamental iron gates to match your original scrollwork, not a generic replacement panel.
- Live phone answer, 24/7, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every completed job.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Keller’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Keller homeowners have never had much patience for a contractor who shows up late, quotes one number, and leaves a different invoice. Our Gate Parts & Welding team grew up on that standard, and we built the opposite. Every Keller job starts with a settled price, quoted and agreed before a single bolt is turned. The homeowner looking at a sagging 2004-era swing gate wants to know two things: what it costs and whether it will stay fixed. We answer both on the first visit.
Victor Salinas has spent years working the heavy custom iron that defines Keller’s estate lots. The welding process on a 400-pound ornamental gate is not the same as a patch job on a chain-link panel. It means matching the original scrollwork, cutting out the fatigued section, and welding the repair so the gate does not twist or crack at the heat-affected zone. We do the work ourselves, we do not sub it out, and when the job is done we hand you the Written Done Right Promise. If anything is not right within 90 days, we come back. No paperwork, no phone chase, no argument.
Our trucks carry a working stock of gate hinges, pillow-block bearings, slide-gate rollers, and square stock for weld repair, so a Keller call rarely means waiting on a parts order. We have lifted and re-hung gates on every major street feeding Keller Town Center, from Johnson Road out to Rufe Snow, and we plan our Keller routing so the technician who quotes the job is often the same one who welds it.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Keller
Hinge Replacement
Hinge failure in Keller rarely announces itself as a hinge. The gate starts dragging on the latch side, or the opener faults out on sag detection. We find the hinge post leaning out of plumb and the original barrel hinges worn oval from carrying a leaf that has been fighting the clay for fifteen years. Hinge replacement in Keller runs $180-$340 per pair for standard ornamental iron, installed with the gate braced and re-hung the same visit.

Post Replacement
This is the defining repair for Keller’s housing stock. A gate post set in 2003 into Blackland Prairie clay has likely moved. We see hinge posts that have heaved up nearly an inch, latch posts that have settled, and steel posts rusted at the concrete line where sprinkler overspray soaked the base for a decade. Post replacement in Keller typically runs $400-$900 depending on depth, footing size, and whether the post is welded plate steel or a drilled and sleeved decorative column. We cut the old post, dig the footing to 30-36 inches, and set the replacement in concrete with rebar, not quick-set foam. If the post leaned because of expansive soil, a shallow re-set just repeats in two years.

Rail Repair
Keller’s slide gates and estate swing gates often show rail or top-rail failure before the operator quits entirely. We see bent bottom rails from a wheel we have not run true, rust-thinned top rails on north-facing gates that never fully dry, and cracked welds where the picket meets the rail. Rail repair runs $220-$480 depending on the section length and whether we splice-weld a new section or re-weld the existing steel.

Custom Welding
The custom work we do in Keller is the part of the trade we care about most. When a homeowner wants a taller gate to match a new fence, an arched top rail, a steel frame for a pedestrian door, or a repair that must match 2005-era scrollwork, this is where our welding crew earns the second and third call. Custom welding is quoted by the job. A small scroll or spear-point repair runs $150-$300. A full gate frame fabrication starting from your dimensions is a measured, quoted job, never a guess. We also weld slide-gate rack repair, chain-link frame corners with cracked welds, and post brackets for opener mounting on Keller’s many HOA community entrance gates.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
Most of the automated gates we weld and align in Keller are running LiftMaster or FAAC operators, though we see a fair number of Mighty Mule units on older estate lots and BFT on community entrances. We are factory-trained on all of them, which matters when a welding repair is finished and the operator needs recalibration to the new gate travel. The correct sequence is not weld first, then guess the opener. We weld, re-hang the gate to plumb, set the travel limits, reset the force profile, and leave the opener running clean. Most Keller part and weld jobs are completed in a single visit.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Blackland Prairie clay heaves the hinge post. The soil under Keller swells after rain and shrinks in drought. A gate that was plumb in 2010 can be leaning three degrees by spring. This throws the leaf out of alignment so it binds on the latch post or drags the driveway.
- April-June hail cracks photo-eye housings and keypad entry enclosures. Keller’s storm season is hard on exposed gate-column electronics. We have replaced more hail-cracked LiftMaster safety- eye housings and keypad bezels than we could count, often during the same call as a hinge or rail repair.
- Older slide gates suffer rack and pinion wear or bent rail sections. Fifteen to twenty years of daily HOA or estate use wears the rack teeth and bends the bottom rail. The operator fights the damage and eventually faults. Welded rail repair before the operator rebuild is the cheapest sequence.
- Post-base rust from sprinkler overspray. Keller’s irrigation systems often throw water against the gate post base for years without anyone noticing. By the time the gate is sagging, the post steel is rust-thinned at the concrete line. We cut and splice the post above the damage, or replace the post entirely if the section loss is too great.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Keller
The Blackland Prairie clay under Keller expands when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and your gate posts are set in that moving earth. A post that is plumb in December can be leaning by April and back again by October. The permanent fix is deeper post re-footing, not repeated hinge adjustments. Call (806) 484-1837 and we will check your post plumb and footing depth before quoting anything.
Yes, very common. Keller’s master-planned communities in 76244 and 76248 often require architectural-review sign-off before visible ironwork is replaced or re-welded. A good gate contractor asks about HOA requirements on the first call and flags them before ordering parts. We have worked with property managers across Keller’s gated subdivisions and we know which communities require prior approval and which do not.
Yes. We hand-match scrollwork, spear points, and arched rail profiles by cutting and forming the replacement steel in our shop, then welding it on-site. The repair is painted to match the existing finish. For a gate that faces the street, we recommend repainting the full affected section so the match is invisible from the curb. Call us for a free look and a written match quote.
It can be either, but on Keller’s older estate slide gates we usually find bent bottom rail sections or worn rollers, or both. The operator keeps running and the gate fights the damage. We check the rail straightness, roller wear, and rack-and-pinion alignment, then quote the repair before any work starts. Most rail and roller repair in Keller is completed same-day.
We replace only the post that has failed, provided the other post is still plumb and the gate leaf is structurally sound. Cutting and re-welding a single hinge post to a deeper footing is a standard job for us, and it is less expensive than a full gate re-frame. If the latch post has settled or the gate frame is rust-thin in sections, we will show you the measurements and let you decide before we pick up a welder. Call (806) 484-1837 and Victor will look at it in person.
For honest pricing, a written 90-Day Done Right Promise, and a gate crew that knows Keller’s soil, HOA rules, and heavy ornamental iron, call Ironworks Gate Co. at (806) 484-1837. We answer live, 24 hours a day. Your estimate is free, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
