Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Cohasset
Gate parts and welding repair in Cohasset typically runs $180-$650 depending on whether you need a hinge swap, post reset, or custom fabrication, and most jobs are completed same-day. Our Gate Parts & Welding team carries galvanized and stainless hardware specifically for coastal conditions, and we answer live 24 hours a day at (833) 754-7503.
We’ve been serving Cohasset and the South Shore for over 42 years. We know the difference between a gate on Jerusalem Road hanging from 1920s wrought iron and a newer automated estate entrance off Chief Justice Cushing Highway. The salt air here is not gentle. It finds every uncoated surface, every standard steel hinge, every catalog part that was never meant for Massachusetts Bay. That’s why we stock hardware rated for marine environments and fabricate what we can’t buy.
When your gate drags, binds, or won’t latch, you don’t want a handyman guessing. You want someone who has rebuilt gates on granite pillars in Cohasset before. Call (833) 754-7503. A live person answers.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Cohasset
Hinge Replacement
Salt-laden nor’easter spray rusts hinge pins and latch mechanisms on Cohasset gates within 2-3 years, causing binding and misalignment that gets worse every season. We replace seized hinges with marine-grade stainless or galvanized units, and when standard sizes don’t fit your custom wrought-iron gate, we fabricate matching brackets in our mobile welding rig. A typical hinge replacement in Cohasset runs $180-$320.
Post Replacement
Cohasset’s shallow granite ledge, often within 12-18 inches of the surface, forces gate-post replacements to use surface-mount anchor plates or core-drilling instead of standard concrete footings, a condition rare in nearby inland towns. We probe for ledge before quoting and bring the right anchoring hardware so the job is done once. Post replacement with ledge mitigation typically runs $450-$650 in Cohasset.
Rail Repair
Ornamental steel rails on historic Cohasset estates crack at welds after decades of thermal cycling and salt corrosion. We grind out the failed joint, prep the metal, and lay a new bead that matches the original fabrication. For rails that have sagged or been struck, we can straighten or section-replace without disturbing the gate’s overall geometry. Rail welding repair in Cohasset generally runs $220-$400.
Custom Welding
Most Cohasset gates are not catalog units. They are custom-fabricated wrought iron or ornamental steel hung on granite pillars, often dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s. When a bracket cracks, a scroll breaks, or a latch no longer exists, we fabricate the replacement from stock steel or forge-weld ornamental details to match. Custom welding in Cohasset starts at $280 and scales with complexity.
Gate Rollers
Sliding gates along Cohasset’s waterfront properties rely on rollers that seize when salt corrosion pits the bearings. We stock nylon and sealed stainless rollers that survive the marine environment, and we carry the track hardware to match. Roller replacement in Cohasset typically runs $150-$280.
Latch & Lock
Magnetic locks and mechanical latches on automated Cohasset gates fail when corrosion swells the bolt or fouls the solenoid. We diagnose whether the issue is the lock, the alignment, or the control board signal, then install hardware that fits your existing gate without drilling new holes in historic iron. Latch and lock service in Cohasset runs $160-$300.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Cohasset Homes
- Salt corrosion seizes hinges and latches within 2-3 years. Massachusetts Bay’s salt-laden air attacks uncoated steel faster than inland climates, producing surface rust and frozen mechanisms that bind gates and strain openers. We see this every spring along Jerusalem Road and the harborfront estates.
- Freeze-thaw cycles heave granite pillar footings out of plumb. Cohasset’s winter ground frost penetrates beneath post footings, shifting pillars and throwing gates into misalignment. Spring service calls for realignment are routine here.
- Shallow granite ledge prevents standard post depths. When replacement posts can’t be dug to standard depth, experienced local techs probe for ledge and switch to core-drilled or surface-mount anchor plates rather than risk a tilted post that accelerates hinge wear.
- Historic custom gates lack replaceable catalog parts. Cohasset’s late-1800s and early-1900s estate gates were fabricated to individual designs, meaning broken brackets or lost hardware must be measured, cut, and welded on-site rather than ordered from a catalog.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Cohasset
Salt-laden air from Massachusetts Bay corrodes motor housings, chains, and control boards 2-3 times faster than inland conditions, often causing FAAC and Mighty Mule operators to seize within 3-5 years of installation. We replace failed components with marine-rated hardware and can fabricate stainless mounting brackets when standard steel would fail again. Call (833) 754-7503 for a corrosion inspection, estimates are free.
Yes, seized hinges are one of our most common spring calls in Cohasset because freeze-thaw moisture penetrates rusted pin assemblies, then expands and locks them solid. We see this especially on historic wrought-iron gates along the harbor where salt accelerates the oxidation. We extract the old hinge, clean the mounting surface, and install galvanized or stainless replacements that resist the cycle. Most hinge replacements in Cohasset are done in one visit, call (833) 754-7503.
Yes, custom fabrication for historic estate gates is a core part of our work in Cohasset because these gates were built to individual designs with no catalog equivalents. We measure, cut, and weld replacement brackets, scrolls, and latch hardware on-site to match your gate’s original fabrication. On Jerusalem Road, we replaced a seized FAAC swing-gate operator on a custom wrought-iron gate mounted on granite pillars. The salt air had corroded the motor housing and frozen the chain. We fabricated a stainless steel mounting bracket to clear the ledge, installed a new LiftMaster pneumatic operator, and replaced all rollers with nylon units. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule a fabrication assessment.
Cohasset’s shallow granite ledge, often within 12-18 inches of the surface, prevents digging standard post footings without hitting solid rock. We probe for ledge during our initial inspection and quote core-drilled or surface-mount anchor plate solutions when standard depth is impossible. This is a condition rare in nearby inland towns like Hingham, where soil allows conventional footings. Post work in Cohasset requires this extra step, but it prevents the tilted post and accelerated hinge wear that comes from inadequate anchoring. Call (833) 754-7503 for a post assessment.
We are certified to service and stock parts for nine major brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Cohasset customers, we carry common Linear and Viking components on our trucks and can source DoorKing specialty hardware within 24 hours. This means most automation repairs are completed in a single visit with no waiting for parts. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule, estimates are free.
