Gate Repair in Hurst - Same-Day Repair, Priced Before We Start

Fast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Hurst

Gate repair in Hurst typically runs $150-$1,200 depending on whether we’re realigning a sagging wood privacy gate, replacing a hinge post that has heaved out of square, or swapping a failed opener on a sliding gate. Same-visit repair is standard for most hinge, latch, and alignment work, because our crews are dispatched from the Dallas-Fort Worth office and know Hurst’s streets well. If your gate is dragging, binding, or refusing to close, call (806) 484-1837 and a live person answers, day or night.

Call (806) 484-1837

We’ve worked gates from Bellaire Heights to the neighborhoods off Pipeline Road, and we understand what Hurst’s clay soil and 1960s-era construction do to steel and wood over time. You want a gate that closes like it should, stays closed, and doesn’t fight you every morning. That’s the job.

Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Hurst’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Ironworks Gate Co. has specialized exclusively in driveway and estate gates for over 42 years, founded in 1984. We don’t do fencing on the side, we don’t renovate bathrooms, and we don’t send a handyman who watched a video on gate hinges the night before. When a Hurst homeowner calls us, the technician who shows up works on gates every single day, is background-checked and uniformed, and carries parts for nine major opener brands on the truck.

Our reputation in Hurst is built on showing up when we say we will. Victor Salinas, who leads our crews, has seen enough 50-year-old gate posts in this town to know what’s underneath before we dig. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every repair: if it is not right, we come back and make it right, in writing, with no paperwork and no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard.

Local homeowners also appreciate that a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail tree, no answering service, no “we’ll get back to you.” When your gate will not open and you need to get a car out, that matters.

Our Gate Repair Services in Hurst

Electric Gate Repair

Hurst has a dense concentration of homes built between the late 1950s and mid-1980s, and many of the original automatic gate systems in those neighborhoods are now on their second or even third opener. When an electric gate stops responding, the cause is usually a failed control board, a burned capacitor, a dead loop detector, or wiring that has corroded at the connector. We service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, FAAC, and BFT systems, among others, and we carry common replacement boards and sensors on the truck so most Hurst electric gate repairs are completed in one visit.

Automatic Gate Repair

An automatic gate that stops midway, reverses for no reason, or beeps constantly is often a sensor or entrapment protection issue. On older Hurst systems, particularly 15-to-20-year-old operators, the safety photocells and loop detectors wear out and the opener behaves erratically. We recalibrate or replace those components so the gate holds position and closes reliably. If your opener is older but the motor itself is still sound, we repair rather than replace whenever the parts are available and the cost makes sense for you.

Hinge & Post Repair

This is the service we perform most often in Hurst, because the local soil works against every gate in town. The shrink-swell clay under Tarrant County expands with spring rains and contracts through summer drought. That movement torques hinge posts, pulls gates out of square, and breaks welds over time. In Hurst’s original 1960s and 1970s neighborhoods, many gate posts were set only 18 to 24 inches deep, well above the active clay zone. That means the post moves seasonally no matter how many times you tighten the hinges. We reset posts on 36-inch concrete footings below the clay line, replace bent hinge straps, and reinforce the frame so the gate stays square for years instead of months.

Gate Realignment

A gate that drags along the ground, scrapes the latch post, or will not close without a lift is out of square. In Hurst, this is usually the post, not the gate itself. We true the frame, adjust the hinges, and if the post has heaved, we reset it properly rather than shimming the hinges as a temporary fix. A gate that works with one finger is the goal.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst

We train our technicians on nine gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We carry common replacement parts for LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, and FAAC systems on our trucks serving Hurst, which means fewer return trips and faster turnaround when your opener dies on a Wednesday morning. If your gate runs on a brand we know, we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs before we touch a bolt.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Hurst Homes

• Sagging wooden privacy gates that will not stay square. The culprit is almost always a shallow post. In Hurst’s original 1960s-70s construction, posts were typically set 18-24 inches deep. The local clay moves them every wet-dry cycle, and the gate follows.
• Sliding gates that stop midway or fail to close on shared driveways. Many Hurst properties share a driveway with a neighbor. The only workable gate is a slide gate, and older slide operators often lack modern entrapment sensors. We bring them up to current safety standards.
• Winter ice damage to rails and hardware. Ice storms hit the DFW Mid-Cities hard. Ice accumulates on horizontal rails and can crack 50-year-old wood, compounding the sag from a season of clay movement.
• Worn hinges and corroded latches on second-generation gates. Many Hurst wood gates are aging replacements for originals. Hinges bind, latches seize, and bottom rails rot from decades of North Texas weather. We replace the worn steel and rebuild the frame rather than band-aiding it.
