Our Gate Repair Services in Fort Worth

Weld Repair

Weld repair is the backbone of what we do in Fort Worth. The core ZIPs - 76107, 76109, 76110 - contain thousands of mid-century homes built 1940s-1960s whose original ornamental wrought iron gates are now 60-80 years old. Fatigued welds crack under the gate’s own weight. Surface rust works into structural corrosion. We bring our Lincoln welder on-site, burn in new reinforcement gussets, and restore the original geometry. We recently repaired a 1950s ornamental wrought iron driveway gate in the Fairmount neighborhood (76110) where a fatigued weld at the hinge stile had cracked completely through, leaving the 300-pound gate sagging into the approach. We brought our Lincoln welder on-site to burn in new reinforcement gussets, then realigned the gate on its original concrete footings, which had heaved 2 inches from black clay movement.

Post Repair

Fort Worth sits on Houston Black clay, the expansive Vertisols of the Blackland Prairie. This soil swells several inches with spring rain, then shrinks and cracks during the intense summer droughts that regularly hit North Texas. That seasonal movement rocks gate posts out of plumb and shears anchor bolts on concrete footings within a few years of installation. Post repair in Fort Worth isn’t just resetting a post - it’s understanding the soil mechanics, using longer embedment depths, and sometimes switching to wider footings that resist the heave. We’ve replaced posts in Westcliff, Tanglewood, and along the River Oaks edge where the clay is thickest.

Gate Realignment

A gate that drags, binds, or won’t latch is usually a misalignment problem. In Fort Worth, misalignment often starts with post heave, but it compounds as hinges wear and frames twist. Our realignment service measures the gate against its original swing plane, adjusts or replaces hinges, and resets the catch or striker. For automated gates, we recalibrate the operator’s limit switches and torque settings so the motor isn’t fighting a bent frame. Most realignments in Fort Worth run $220-$380 and are done in one visit.

Hinge Repair & Replacement

Seized hinges and surface corrosion are common failure modes on original ornamental iron gates in Mistletoe Heights (76110) and Ridglea (76107). We cut off seized hinges, clean the pintle and strap, and install new hardware sized to the gate’s actual weight - not whatever was cheapest at the hardware store. For heavy gates, we upgrade to ball-bearing or grease-fitted hinges that won’t bind again in two seasons.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Worth

We’re trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands, and we stock local parts for Fort Worth customers to keep turnaround fast. Our technicians carry FAAC, BFT, and Linear operator components on their trucks, along with Viking control boards and accessories.

No second trip charges because we guessed wrong.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Fort Worth Homes

• Fatigued welds on 60-80-year-old wrought iron gates in mid-century neighborhoods like Ridglea (76107) crack under their own weight. The original welds were often single-pass and never meant to carry 300 pounds for eight decades. We cut out the cracked metal and burn in structural reinforcement.
• Seized hinges and surface corrosion on original ornamental iron gates in Mistletoe Heights (76110) cause structural failure. The paint fails, rust forms, and the hinge pin seizes solid. Left alone, the gate tears itself off the post.
• Chronic misalignment from seasonal black clay soil heaving shears anchor bolts on concrete footings within a few years. We’ve replaced bolts in Fairmount, Arlington Heights, and near the Stockyards where the clay movement is most aggressive.
• Hail damage to automated operators and gate infill is a Fort Worth reality. Spring storms in the southern Plains hail belt dent operator housings, crack wood and vinyl panels, and bend lightweight aluminum frames. We assess whether the damage is cosmetic or structural, and we replace what can’t be straightened.
