"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."

Parts we install
Premium, Long-Lasting Gate Parts
The part decides how long the repair lasts. Here is what we fit, and what the cheap version costs you later.
Gate Operators
The operator is the motor that moves the gate. It absorbs every open and close, so its duty rating decides how many years you get out of it.
What we install
We install operators sized to the real weight of the gate and its daily cycle count, with a metal gear train, a soft start and stop, and a proper manual release.
What other companies fit
An undersized residential operator on a heavy gate runs at its limit on every cycle. Plastic gear trains strip, the motor overheats, and the unit is finished in a couple of seasons.
Hinges
Hinges carry the entire weight of a swing gate. A gate that sags almost always has a hinge problem, not a gate problem.
What we install
We use heavy welded steel hinges with greasable bearings and adjustable posts, so the gate can be brought back to level later without cutting anything apart.
What other companies fit
Light bolt-on hinges with a plain steel pin wear oval within a year or two. The gate drops on the latch side, drags on the driveway, and starts binding the operator.
Chains and Racks
A sliding gate is driven either by a chain or by a toothed rack. Either way, that part takes the shock on every start and every stop.
What we install
We fit galvanized heavy-pitch chain, or steel rack welded on a straight line and tensioned properly, so the load spreads across several teeth at once.
What other companies fit
Thin unplated chain rusts and stretches until it jumps the sprocket, and plastic rack teeth shear off in cold weather and leave the gate stuck in the driveway.
Control Boards
The control board is the electronics that read your remote, your keypad and your safety sensors. It also takes the first hit in a power surge.
What we install
We install boards with a conformal coating and surge protection, mounted in a sealed weather-rated enclosure and properly grounded.
What other companies fit
A bare board in a loose plastic box collects condensation and insects. One nearby strike or one wet week and the gate stops responding to anything at all.
Safety Photo Eyes
Photo eyes are the beam across the driveway that stops the gate when something is in the way. They are the difference between a nuisance and an accident.
What we install
We install sealed weather-rated photo eyes on solid brackets, aligned and tested, and wired so that a sensor fault stops the gate instead of being ignored.
What other companies fit
Unsealed indoor-grade eyes on flimsy brackets drift out of alignment with the first bump, and the shortcut fix is to bypass the safety input so it stops tripping.
Our story
Doing It This Way Since 2013.
Ironworks repairs and automates driveway and estate gates - welding, hinges, openers, keypads - with a blacksmith's respect for the metal and an electrician's respect for the motor. The company that makes a 40-year-old gate close like the day it was hung.
A century ago every town had an ironworks, and the gates it made are still swinging.

What Our Customers Say
Homeowners in every market we serve, in their own words.
★★★★☆
"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
★★★★★
"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
★★★★★
"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
★★★★★
"The hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
★★★★★
"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
★★★★★
"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one on the truck, and we were moving cars again inside an hour."
★★★★★
"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
★★★★★
"Used them at two properties now. Both times they diagnosed it on the first visit instead of guessing and coming back."
★★★★☆
"The gate works properly now and the price was fair. It did take two visits, because the operator we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They did not charge for the second trip."
★★★★★
"A hydraulic arm was leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned the stain as best he could, and it has been dry since."
