Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Lyndon’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We’ve worked on gates in Lyndon long enough to recognize the patterns. The mid-century build-out here means we’re not fixing generic problems - we’re addressing the specific failures of 40- to 60-year-old iron and wood on sloped lots with clay-heavy soil. That experience matters when a technician walks your driveway and already knows what to look for.
Our customers in Lyndon tell us the same thing: they called us because the last company didn’t show, or didn’t fix it, or left them with a bill they didn’t expect. We don’t work that way. Every job gets a written, upfront price before a bolt turns. Every completed repair is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard - with no paperwork and no arguing if something needs adjustment.
Our response time to Lyndon is typically same-day or next-day, depending on when you call. We keep FAAC, BFT, and Linear parts on our trucks, along with heavy-duty hinges and post-setting equipment, because most Lyndon gates fail in predictable ways and we plan to finish in one trip.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work by our K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th job gets the same care as the first.
Our Gate Repair Services in Lyndon
Hinge Repair
Lyndon’s sloped driveways are hard on hinges. Many swing gates installed in the 1960s and 70s were never counterweighted for the grade, so the downhill hinge carries excess load decade after decade. We replace worn hinges with heavy-duty models rated for the actual weight and angle, and when needed, we add counterbalance hardware to stop the drag. A typical hinge repair in Lyndon runs $180-$320.
Post Repair and Resetting
The clay-heavy soil throughout Lyndon’s terrain shifts with every freeze-thaw cycle. Original concrete footings from the mid-century build-out have heaved, tilted, or cracked, taking the gate with them. We excavate the old footing, set a new post in 750 lb of concrete, and realign the gate to proper swing geometry. Post repair in Lyndon typically costs $350-$650 depending on depth and access.
Weld Repair
Ornamental iron gates in Lyndon’s older neighborhoods develop stress cracks at picket joints and frame corners, especially where ice buildup has added weight year after year. Our welders repair the break and address the underlying stress point so it doesn’t reopen. Most weld repairs in Lyndon fall between $200-$400.
Gate Realignment
Root encroachment from mature oaks and maples on Lyndon’s modest lots pushes posts out of plumb. Combined with footing heave, this creates the chronic gate-sag pattern we see repeatedly in the ranch homes near Lyndon Lane and surrounding corridors. We relevel the posts, reset hardware, and adjust the swing path so the gate clears the driveway without dragging. Realignment jobs in Lyndon usually run $280-$480.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Lyndon Homes
- Downhill hinge wear on sloped driveways. Gates installed on Lyndon’s rolling lots in the 60s and 70s sag toward the street, grinding the lower corner into the asphalt. The original installers never counterweighted for the grade, and decades of wear have sheared hinge pins or elongated bolt holes.
- Heaved concrete footings from Jefferson County freeze-thaw. Lyndon’s clay soil expands and contracts through late winter, tilting posts and throwing gates out of alignment. This worsens each season without intervention.
- Ice-storm damage to automation and pickets. Kentucky’s ice-storm belt coats gate hardware and wooden slats with freezing rain that stresses hinges and snaps weaker pickets under the weight. We see this every February and March.
- Root-shifting from mature oaks and maples. On Lyndon’s modest lots, decades of root growth push gate posts out of plumb, creating misalignment that no amount of hinge adjustment can fix without resetting the post.

FAQs - Gate Repair in Lyndon
Most were installed on sloped driveways without counterweighting for the grade, so the downhill hinge carries excess load until it wears and the gate sags. On a heavily sloped driveway off Lyndon Lane, we found a 1960s wrought-iron driveway gate sagging so badly it gouged the pavement every time it swung open. The original concrete footings had heaved from decades of freeze-thaw, and the downhill-side hinge was practically sheared. We replaced the hinge with a heavy-duty FAAC model, re-set the post in 750 lb of fresh concrete, and added a counterweight spring to take the load off the hinge. If your gate is dragging, call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate - we’ll tell you if counterbalancing will solve it.
We service nine major brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We carry FAAC, BFT, and Linear parts on our trucks for faster repair. For Lyndon homeowners with aging automation, this means we can usually diagnose and fix on the first visit rather than ordering parts and returning. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule - estimates are free.
Yes. Lyndon’s clay-heavy soil expands in wet seasons and contracts in dry spells, and Jefferson County’s repeated freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the shifting. Original concrete footings from the 1950s-1970s have heaved or tilted, throwing gates out of alignment. We address this by excavating to stable depth and setting new posts in 750 lb of concrete rated for the local soil conditions. Post repair in Lyndon typically runs $350-$650. Call (833) 754-7503 to have yours assessed.
Every 12 months for gates over 40 years old. Lyndon’s ice-storm belt adds seasonal stress, and the original hardware on mid-century gates is often past its design life. Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up includes hinge inspection, post stability check, automation testing if equipped, and rust-inhibitor application where needed. Annual service catches footing heave and hinge wear before they become expensive problems. Call (833) 754-7503 to book.
Yes. We replace snapped pickets, bent hinges, and damaged automation arms caused by ice loading. We also inspect for hidden stress fractures that may fail in the next storm.
