We’ve been driving to Larchmont since 1984. We know the difference between a gate on Palmer Avenue and one in Larchmont Manor, where the salt air off Long Island Sound has been eating at wrought iron for a hundred years. The housing stock here - Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Victorian homes built largely between 1890 and 1940 - demands a repair approach that respects original materials while solving problems that won’t stay fixed with off-the-shelf parts. Our Gate Parts & Welding team carries torches, fabrication stock, and the patience this kind of work requires.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Larchmont’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Forty-two years in this trade means we’ve watched Larchmont’s gates age through multiple cycles of salt corrosion and freeze-thaw damage. Homeowners here don’t call us for quick patches that fail in eighteen months. They call because they want the gate to close the way it did when the house was built, and they want that work guaranteed in writing.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard - applies to every job. No paperwork to file, no argument about whether the problem is “covered.” If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. Period.
Most of our Larchmont customers find us through neighbors in the Manor or along Boston Post Road. Word travels when a company shows up on time, works clean, and doesn’t invent problems that don’t exist. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not an answering service. A live person who can dispatch a technician.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, working by the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th gate in Larchmont gets the same attention as the first.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Larchmont
Hinge Replacement
Hinges on Larchmont’s older gates fail predictably. The salt air off the Sound corrodes the pin and barrel, while freeze-thaw cycles shift the stone or brick pillars they’re mounted to. A typical hinge replacement in Larchmont runs $220-$380 for standard duty, or $450-$650 when we need to fabricate a custom hinge to match original 1920s ironwork. We recently replaced a seized hinge on a Tudor estate in Larchmont Manor - the original had rusted solid from decades of salt spray. We torched it free, fabricated a replacement, and installed stainless steel hardware to slow the corrosion cycle.
Post Replacement
The stone and brick pillars common to Larchmont Manor’s formal entries don’t last forever. Mortar joints crack. Footings heave. A pillar that leans even an inch throws gate alignment off completely. Post replacement in Larchmont typically costs $800-$1,800 depending on material matching and whether we need to repour a footing. We see this most often in spring, after Westchester’s freeze-thaw cycles have done their work. Adjustable hinge mounts can help, but sometimes the pillar itself needs resetting or rebuilding.
Rail Repair
Bent or broken rails on ornamental gates are a welding job, not a replacement job, when the scrollwork pattern is unique to the estate. Rail repair in Larchmont runs $180-$420 for straightforward welding and grinding, or $550-$850 when we need to match custom profiles. We carry portable welding equipment and a selection of stock that matches common pre-war profiles. For rail damage from vehicle impact - more common on the narrower drives near Pine Brook Boulevard - we assess whether repair or section replacement makes more sense.
Custom Welding
This is where our trade separates from handyman services. Many original wrought iron gates in Larchmont were custom-fabricated in the 1910s-1930s to match specific estate designs. Replacement parts don’t exist. Custom welding for historic gate repair in Larchmont starts around $400 for simple bracket or latch fabrication and can reach $1,200-$2,500 for complex scrollwork matching or complete hinge assemblies. We work with hot-dip galvanizing shops for marine-grade coatings that inland welders rarely specify. The salt air here demands it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Larchmont
We stock and service parts for nine major automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Larchmont’s coastal conditions, we specify stainless steel hardware and corrosion-resistant enclosures whenever possible - standard hardware that holds up in White Plains or Scarsdale often fails prematurely within a mile of the Sound. Our trucks carry FAAC and BFT operator parts, Linear control boards, and Viking actuator components, so most Larchmont automation repairs don’t wait on shipping. Same-day completion is normal, not exceptional.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Larchmont Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on electric operators. The galvanic reaction between aluminum housings and steel mounting hardware destroys control boards and limit switches faster than inland climates. We see this on gates within three blocks of the water, particularly in Larchmont Manor.
- Settled pillars misaligning swing gates. The stone and brick pillars common to pre-war Larchmont estates have settled unevenly over 80-100 years. Gates drag, hinges bind, and latches miss their strikes. Post replacement or adjustable hinge retrofit is the permanent fix.
- Custom hardware with no replacement source. Original 1910s-1930s gate hardware - hinges, latches, decorative bosses - was made once for one estate. When it fails, we measure, fabricate, and weld replacements that preserve the historic appearance.
- Freeze-thaw footing damage. Westchester’s winter cycles heave concrete pillar bases and crack mortar joints. Every spring we field calls from Larchmont homeowners whose gates worked fine in October and drag badly by April.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Larchmont
Freeze-thaw cycles heave the concrete footings and mortar joints in your stone or brick pillars, throwing hinge alignment off by fractions of an inch that compound into visible sag. The permanent fix is either post stabilization with proper drainage, or adjustable hinge mounts that can accommodate seasonal movement. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll assess which approach fits your gate - estimates are free.
Yes, when original patterns are documented or we can take detailed measurements and photographs of intact sections. We fabricate matching elements by hand or with profile-copying equipment, then finish with hot-dip galvanizing or marine-grade coatings specified for Larchmont’s salt air. Custom scrollwork matching typically runs $550-$850; complex full-panel work reaches $1,200-$2,500.
For Larchmont’s coastal exposure, we specify operators with stainless steel hardware, sealed enclosures rated for salt-air environments, and galvanic isolation between dissimilar metals. FAAC and BFT both manufacture marine-duty options; Viking’s actuator line also holds up well here. Standard inland-spec operators often fail prematurely within two to three years on salt-spray-exposed gates.
Salt air accelerates galvanic corrosion between aluminum operator housings and steel mounting hardware, shorting control boards and seizing limit switches. Your neighbor twenty miles inland doesn’t face the same atmospheric chemistry. We address this with stainless hardware, dielectric isolation, and operators specified for coastal duty - not the standard models most installers default to.
A rusted hinge on a Larchmont Manor estate gate typically costs $220-$380 if we can source or match a standard replacement, or $450-$650 if the original was custom-fabricated and we need to make one. Severe corrosion may also require pillar-face repair where the hinge was mounted. We give you the exact price after inspection - call (833) 754-7503 to schedule.
