Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Keller
Hinge Replacement
Keller’s clay soil doesn’t forgive poorly anchored hinges. We regularly replace bent or seized hinge plates in the 76244 subdivisions, where seasonal heave has torqued the hardware beyond adjustment. Our mobile welding rig lets us fabricate custom hinge brackets on site when the original mount points have torn free from the post. A typical hinge replacement in Keller runs $220-$380, including alignment.
Post Replacement
Gate posts in Keller take a beating. The Blackland Prairie clay expands with spring rains and contracts hard during August dry spells, cycling posts out of plumb year after year. We excavate to below the active soil layer, pour proper concrete footings, and set steel posts that stay square. In Oakwood Hills and similar neighborhoods, we see this exact failure pattern repeatedly. Post replacement in Keller typically costs $450-$650 for a single residential post, including removal, excavation, and rehang.
Rail Repair
Ornamental iron rails on Keller’s 1995-2010 estate gates corrode at the welds after two decades of exposure. We cut out failed sections, match the original profile, and weld in new steel with a finish that blends with the existing gate. For wooden privacy gates enclosing backyard pools, we sister or replace sagging rails and reset the frame square. Rail repair in Keller generally runs $180-$340.
Custom Welding
Our mobile welding unit carries MIG and stick capability for field repairs on gates that can’t be removed. We’ve fabricated everything from custom latch receivers for misaligned Keller townhome gates to reinforcement gussets for estate driveway barriers that have taken one too many bumps from delivery trucks. Custom welding in Keller starts at $200 for basic field repairs and ranges to $500+ for extensive fabrication.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
We stock parts and carry factory training for nine major automation brands, including Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing. In Keller specifically, our parts van carries a deep inventory of Viking and Elite components because so many 76244 and 76248 installations used those systems. When the original control board is obsolete, we cross-reference specifications and retrofit current operators onto existing post hardware, saving homeowners the cost of full post replacement. Most brand-specific repairs in Keller are completed in a single visit.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Swing gates dragging from seasonal soil heave. The Blackland Prairie clay under Keller shifts gates out of alignment every year, overtaxing operators and bending hinge plates until the gate grinds against the driveway.
- Corrosion in wiring harnesses from aging automated systems. The dense subdivisions built during Keller’s 1998-2008 boom installed ornamental iron gates with integrated operators that are now 15-25 years old, and moisture has degraded connections that were never designed for that lifespan.
- Obsolete control boards with no direct replacement. Many original Viking Access and Elite units in Keller have been discontinued, requiring our technicians to source cross-compatible components or engineer retrofits to current hardware.
- Gate posts heaved below active soil layer. Shallow original footings in Keller’s expansive clay crack and tilt, transferring stress to the entire gate frame and eventually tearing welds at the rail-to-post joints.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Keller
Your gate posts shift because Keller sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that swells with spring moisture and shrinks during dry summer months. This seasonal cycle, repeated annually, heaves posts set in shallow footings by inches, bending hinge plates and misaligning swing gates. The fix is excavating below the active soil layer and pouring a proper concrete footing that won’t respond to surface moisture changes. We handle this exact problem regularly in Keller’s 76244 and 76248 subdivisions. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free assessment.
Yes, we retrofit current operators to existing post hardware when Elite or Viking units fail and direct replacements are no longer manufactured. In Keller’s 1998-2008 subdivisions, we regularly cross-reference obsolete control boards and engineer clean retrofits, often to FAAC or LiftMaster units, without replacing the entire post and gate frame. We recently replaced a seized post on a swing gate in the Oakwood Hills neighborhood, where the Blackland Prairie clay had heaved the hinge plate two inches, bending the weld. After excavating to solid footing below the active soil layer, we realigned the frame and upgraded the Elite operator to a FAAC unit, restoring smooth, secure operation. Call (833) 754-7503 to discuss your specific operator.
We measure twice and weld once. Alley-load gates in Keller’s denser townhome pockets have minimal swing arc and tight post spacing, so we fabricate compact hinge solutions and low-profile latch hardware in our mobile welding unit rather than forcing standard parts into spaces they don’t fit. Our technicians carry adjustable jigs for field fabrication, and we verify full range of motion before leaving the site. For a clearance evaluation on your Keller alley-load gate, call (833) 754-7503.
An ornamental iron driveway gate operator in Keller typically lasts 12-18 years under normal residential use, though many units installed during the 1998-2008 building boom are now failing at 15-25 years due to heavy cycling and clay-soil stress on the mechanical system. The Blackland Prairie soil conditions here accelerate wear by forcing operators to work against misaligned, dragging gates for years before homeowners notice the strain. When we replace an operator in Keller, we always inspect and correct gate alignment first, so the new unit isn’t fighting the same battle. Call (833) 754-7503 for an operator health check.
Yes, our mobile welding rig carries MIG and stick welding capability for field repairs and custom fabrication at your Keller property. We regularly build custom hinge brackets, reinforcement gussets, and latch receivers on location, particularly when standard parts won’t fit obsolete gate frames or when clay-soil movement has altered original dimensions. Most on-site welding in Keller is completed within a single service call. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule.
