Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Hurst
Gate parts and welding repair in Hurst typically runs $180-$650 depending on whether you need a simple hinge swap or full post reset with custom welding. Most jobs finish in one visit, and our Gate Parts & Welding team carries the hardware and steel stock to handle it on the spot.
We’ve been driving to Hurst since 1984, back when these neighborhoods were already twenty years old. The ranch homes off Pipeline Road, the cedar gates along Bedford-Euless Road, the brick homes tucked behind Hurstview Drive - we know the soil, the hardware, and the way a 1970s gate fails after forty Texas summers. When a post heaves or a hinge pocket rusts through, you don’t need a handyman who guesses. You need someone who has reset a hundred Hurst posts in Blackland Prairie clay and knows whether the footing or the frame is the real problem. Call (833) 754-7503. A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Hurst’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hurst homeowners don’t call us for flash. They call because their gate sagged again six months after the last guy “fixed” it, and they’re tired of paying twice. We’ve earned our reputation in Tarrant County over 42 years by finding the root cause - usually that tilted 1970s concrete footing down in the clay - and fixing it so the gate stays square.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine automation brands including FAAC, BFT, and Linear. That means when we pull up to a Hurst home with a legacy opener, we know whether the part still exists or if it’s time to talk retrofit. No guessing. No return trips for parts we don’t carry.
We’re typically in Hurst within the same day or next, depending on call volume. The 76053 and 76054 ZIP codes are regular routes for our crews, so you’re not waiting for a technician to drive across the metroplex.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard. Written, no paperwork, no arguing. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That promise has covered every Hurst job since we started offering it, and it will cover yours.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Hurst
Hinge Replacement
Hinges on Hurst’s original wood privacy gates don’t just wear - they rot where the pocket meets the cedar or pine frame. The North Texas sun bakes the wood, spring rains swell it, and the cycle repeats until the hinge bolt pulls through or the steel itself rusts thin. We stock heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges and, when the pocket is too far gone, we weld a new steel plate to rebuild the mounting surface. A hinge replacement in Hurst usually runs $180-$320 for a standard residential gate, including hardware and labor.
Post Replacement & Resetting
This is the repair Hurst homeowners actually need more often than they realize. That seasonal clay soil movement - expand in spring, contract in August - tilts the original 1970s concrete footing until the post leans, the gate drags, and no hinge adjustment fixes it. We recently replaced a rotted hinge and reset the post on a cedar privacy gate in the 76053 neighborhood off Pipeline Road; the original 1970s concrete anchor had heaved two inches, and we had to pour a new footing before the new LiftMaster opener could align properly. Post resetting with new concrete in Hurst typically costs $350-$650, depending on depth, access, and whether we’re dealing with a 4×4 wood post or steel.
Rail Repair
Sagging top rails, split bottom rails, or rails pulled loose by a tilting frame - we see all three in Hurst’s older neighborhoods. When the rail itself is sound but the connection failed, we weld new brackets or fish-plate the joint. If the rail is rotted or bent beyond straightening, we fabricate a replacement from steel stock and match the existing profile. Rail repairs in Hurst run $220-$480, with custom welding at the higher end if we’re rebuilding multiple connection points.
Custom Welding
Not every Hurst gate failure has an off-the-shelf fix. A rusted hinge pocket on a forty-year-old cedar frame, a cracked steel scroll on an estate gate, a broken latch mount that hasn’t been manufactured since 1995 - these need a welder who understands gate geometry, not just a guy with a torch. Our shop fabricates brackets, plates, and reinforcements to spec, then installs them with the gate’s swing and weight in mind. Custom welding jobs in Hurst start around $280 and range to $600+ for extensive frame rebuilding.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We carry parts and programming capability for nine major gate automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Hurst homeowners with legacy equipment - and there are more than you’d think, given when these homes were built - this matters. An early BFT or Linear opener from the 1980s or 1990s may have a failed circuit board that simply isn’t manufactured anymore. When that’s the case, we don’t chase phantom parts for weeks. We tell you upfront, price the retrofit option, and get your gate working again with current hardware that we can support for the next decade. Our trucks stock the common failure items for FAAC, BFT, and Linear systems, so most Hurst automation repairs don’t wait on shipping.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Heaved post footings from clay soil. The Blackland Prairie shrink-swell cycle tilts and cracks original 1970s concrete anchors. The gate sags, drags, or won’t latch. Homeowners in Hurst’s older neighborhoods often get two or three “hinge adjustments” before someone finally checks the footing. We check the footing first.
- Rusted-through hinge pockets on 40+ year old wood gates. Cedar and pine frames in Hurst’s original ranch homes weren’t built with galvanized hardware. Decades of moisture wicking into the pocket rots the wood and rusts the bolt plate until the hinge pulls free. Custom welding a new steel mounting plate is usually the lasting fix.
- Legacy opener failures with discontinued parts. That early BFT or Linear unit installed in 1992 worked fine until the control board died. We stock current-generation replacements and can retrofit the new opener to existing gate arms and loops, saving the cost of full replacement when the mechanicals are still sound.
- Frame racking from post movement. When one post tilts two inches and the other stays put, the rectangular gate frame becomes a parallelogram. The diagonal brace goes into tension, joints loosen, and the gate binds. We square the frame, weld reinforcements where needed, and reset the post so it stays square.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst, TX
We settle on price before we turn a bolt. Here’s what Hurst homeowners typically see:
| Service | Typical Range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (standard) | $180 - $320 |
| Rail repair with welding | $220 - $480 |

What moves the number? Access matters - a gate buried behind mature landscaping costs more in labor than one with clear workspace. Steel versus wood post changes material cost. And when we’re dealing with clay-soil heave, the depth of the new footing (deeper is better in Hurst) affects both concrete and dig time. We diagnose on-site, quote upfront, and start work only when you approve the price. Estimates are free. Call (833) 754-7503.
Active offers: $50 off any repair over $250. Free second opinion on any written estimate. $89 seasonal tune-up. Senior and veteran discount of 5%, always.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Heaved post footings caused by Blackland Prairie clay soil movement, which makes the gate sag and bind no matter how many times the hinges are adjusted. We check the footing first on every Hurst call, because fixing the post is the only way the hinge work will last. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate - we’ll tell you whether it’s the post, the hinge, or both.
Sometimes, but many control boards and sensors from that era are discontinued. We stock current Linear hardware and can retrofit a new opener to your existing gate arms and safety loops, which costs less than full replacement and gets you back under warranty. We’ll check your specific model on the first visit and give you both options - repair if the part exists, retrofit if it doesn’t.
A properly reset post with a deep, reinforced concrete footing in Hurst’s clay soil should last 15-20 years or more. The original 1970s footings failed because they were too shallow and unreinforced for this soil type. When we reset a Hurst post, we go deeper and use rebar - the same approach that holds up in agricultural fencing across Tarrant County. If your post has heaved once, it will heave again until the footing is rebuilt correctly.
About half the time on gates over thirty years old, yes. The hinge pockets rust through, the latch mounts crack, or the frame joints fail in ways no bracket from the hardware store will fix. We fabricate steel plates and brackets to match your gate’s exact dimensions and weld them in place. It’s not decorative work - it’s structural repair that lets a forty-year-old gate function like it was meant to.
Usually worth repairing if the frame and posts are sound. A new steel or aluminum gate runs $2,500-$5,500+ installed, while resetting posts, replacing hinges, and welding frame repairs typically costs $600-$1,200. The exception: if the wood frame is rotted through multiple rails and posts, or if you’re looking to upgrade to automated steel for security reasons. We’ll inspect your gate and give you honest numbers for both paths. No pressure either way.
