Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Boerne’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We have worked on gates in Boerne since the early 1980s, back when FM 46 was still the main route in and most properties were working ranches. That history matters. We know which gates were built by local welders who are long retired, which hardware patterns repeat across the 78006 acreage parcels, and what the HOAs in 78015 expect for ornamental iron repairs. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and guided by our K.E.Y.S. values code - Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.
Response time to Boerne averages same-day or next-day for standard calls, and we carry parts for nine automation brands including Viking and Ghost Controls, so the correct fix happens on the first trip. No waiting on shipped parts. No return visits for hardware we should have had on the truck.
Every job is protected by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - written, no paperwork, no arguing. If it is not right, we come back and make it right. That is the Keystone Standard, and it has not changed since 1984.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Boerne
Custom Welding
Boerne’s heavy-duty ranch gates - the 2-inch schedule-40 pipe swing gates on properties along Boerne Stage Road and the outer FM roads - take abuse that ornamental iron never sees. Cattle push them. Hay trailers clip them. Summer heat past 100°F followed by hard freezes cycles stress every weld until something cracks. We weld on-site with portable equipment rated for field repairs, matching the original joint geometry and using rod suited to the base metal. Last spring, we replaced a rusted hinge and realigned a heavy-duty slide gate on a ranch off Boerne Stage Road. The homeowner’s Ghost Controls solar operator had locked out after three overcast days, so we jumped the battery and welded a new stainless steel hinge pin on-site, saving them a follow-up trip. That is how we work - everything needed, on the truck, ready.

Post Replacement
This is where Boerne’s geology creates a problem you do not see in San Antonio’s flat clay basin. The Hill Country’s limestone and caliche substrate is full of voids. A post set to standard depth in what looks like solid rock can find a hollow pocket beneath, or simply never achieve the lateral grip it needs. The gate frame sags. The latch misses. The rollers bind. We replace posts with deeper footings, sometimes using epoxy-anchored bases or extended embedment to get below the fractured layer. After flash flooding along Esker Creek scours out the gravel and compacted fill, we have reset posts that shifted overnight - the homeowner wakes to a gate that will not close, and we are there that day to dig, re-pour, and realign.

Gate Rollers
Slide gates on Boerne’s acreage properties are heavy. The rollers carry that weight across decades of dust, grit, and the occasional direct hit from a truck bumper. We stock V-groove and flat-profile rollers in steel and nylon, sized for the track dimensions common on both residential ranch gates and the heavier commercial-grade installations near I-10. When a roller seizes, the motor strains, the chain skips, and the gate drags. We replace the roller, check track alignment, and verify the operator is not damaged from the overload. Done in one visit.

Hinge Replacement
Ornamental iron gates in Esperanza and the 78015 subdivisions use smaller, more precise hinges than ranch gates, but they fail just as definitively. Rust from the valley humidity along the upper Guadalupe watershed eats pin surfaces. Misalignment from post shift grinds the barrel. We match the original hinge pattern - j-bolt, barrel, or concealed - and set it square so the gate hangs true. No dragging. No latch fighting.

Rail Repair
A bent or broken rail compromises the gate’s structure and its appearance. For ranch gates, we splice or replace rail sections with matching pipe, welding to restore lateral strength. For ornamental iron in HOA-governed communities, we fabricate replacements that match the existing picket spacing, scrollwork, and finish. The repair has to pass visual inspection from the street, and it does.

Latch & Lock
Electric strikes, magnetic locks, manual slide bolts, and keyed deadbolts - we service and replace them all. On automated gates, the latch must coordinate with the operator’s close limit and the access control release timing. We adjust the full system, not just the hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
We are trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Boerne homeowners, that means we stock common parts locally and carry the diagnostic tools for each brand’s error codes and manual-release procedures. Viking and Ghost Controls operators appear frequently on the solar-powered installations common in 78006; we know their battery systems, their solar panel sizing requirements, and the jump procedures that get you through until the sun returns. No waiting on a specialist from San Antonio. No guessing.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Post instability in caliche and limestone. The rocky, void-prone soil beneath Boerne gates cannot grip a post the way clay does. We see frames sag and drift within months of a standard installation, especially after rain saturates the fill. Deeper footings or epoxy anchors solve it.
- Solar operator lockouts during spring overcast. Multi-day rain stretches are common in the Texas Hill Country spring. Ghost Controls and Viking solar units drain past their reserve, leaving homeowners with a dead gate and no manual-release knowledge. We carry jumpers and know the procedures.
- Weld fatigue from extreme temperature swings. Summer highs above 100°F followed by hard freezes create expansion-contraction cycles that crack hinges and roller brackets on heavy-gauge ranch gates. Custom welding with proper preheat and rod selection prevents repeat failure.
- Flash-flood scour around post footings. After major rain events along Esker Creek and the upper Guadalupe watershed, we get calls about gates that suddenly will not close. The gravel and compacted fill has washed out, the post has leaned, and the frame has shifted. Emergency post reset and rail realignment is standard work for us.
