Call (833) 754-7503

We’ve been working in McCordsville since before the SR 67 corridor exploded with new subdivisions.

McCordsville’s building boom left thousands of gates installed between 2005 and 2018, all hitting their first major repair cycle right now.

We carry parts for the brands that dominated those installs, and we weld, realign, and reset posts to match the original spec so your ARB never raises an eyebrow.

Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is McCordsville’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Forty-two years in this trade teaches you that a gate in McCordsville is not just a gate - it’s a condition of your deed restrictions. We’ve built our reputation in Hancock County by understanding that distinction. Our McCordsville customers call us back because we treat the architectural review board like a silent partner on every job, not an afterthought.

Our reviews from McCordsville homeowners mention the same things repeatedly: we show up when we say, we explain the repair before touching a bolt, and we leave the work site cleaner than we found it. One customer off West Broadway told us we were the first contractor in twenty years of homeownership who didn’t try to upsell her into a full replacement when a hinge weld and post reset would do.

Response time to McCordsville averages under 90 minutes during business hours, and our emergency line puts you straight through to a human who can dispatch a technician - not a callback queue that dumps you to voicemail. We know which McCordsville subdivisions have back gates off Geist Reservoir Drive, which ones have community entry systems on failing FAAC operators, and which HOA covenants require pre-approval for anything beyond “like-for-like” repairs. That local knowledge saves you a violation notice and a second repair bill.

The 400th job gets the same care as the first. And every repair is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.

Our Gate Repair Services in McCordsville

Gate Realignment

Gate realignment is our most called-for service in McCordsville, and there’s a reason that won’t surprise anyone who’s lived here through a winter. Hancock County’s clay-heavy soils heave with every freeze-thaw cycle, and by March your swing gate is dragging on the latch side or your sliding gate is catching mid-track. We measure the plumb, diagnose whether it’s post shift, hinge wear, or track settlement, and reset everything to factory spec.

Our crew recently realigned a sagging wrought-iron driveway gate in the Geist Overlook neighborhood that was binding every spring after freeze-thaw cycles. The homeowner’s HOA had flagged the gap for violating community standards; we torched the hinge posts, reset them in fresh concrete, and matched the existing ornamental scrollwork so the repair was invisible to the ARB. That’s the kind of work we do in McCordsville - not just functional, but compliant.

Post Repair

Gate posts in McCordsville take a beating that flatland suburbs don’t understand. The frost line here runs deep, and clay holds water like a sponge. When it freezes, it expands; when it thaws, it leaves voids. After ten or fifteen cycles, your post is leaning like a fence post in a pasture. We excavate, set new concrete below the frost line with proper drainage, and anchor the post so the next freeze-thaw season doesn’t undo our work.

For HOA community entry gates along SR 67 and the major subdivision roads, post failure doesn’t just affect one homeowner - it shuts down a whole entrance. We keep those calls prioritized, and we carry the heavy-duty hardware those commercial-grade installations demand.

Weld Repair

Wrought-iron gates in McCordsville’s lakeside subdivisions weren’t built to be disposable. When a scroll cracks or a picket separates at the joint, we MIG or TIG the repair and grind it flush, then match the original finish so the weld disappears. We’ve rebuilt gates that other companies told homeowners to replace entirely, saving them thousands and keeping their ARB-approved design intact.

Weld repair requires clean metal and a steady hand. Our technicians are trained welders, not handymen with a borrowed machine. In McCordsville, where your gate is part of your home’s approved aesthetic, that craftsmanship matters.

Hinge Repair & Replacement

Heavy ornamental gates stress hinges in ways lightweight aluminum never will. In McCordsville, we see a lot of 2008-2014 installs where the original hinges were undersized for the actual gate weight, or where years of latch-side sag have ovalled the pin holes. We replace with ball-bearing or greaseable hinges rated for the load, and we always check the post attachment - a new hinge on a rotted or loose post is money wasted.

Lock Repair

Gate locks in McCordsville take the same freeze damage as everything else. We repair and replace mechanical deadbolts, magnetic locks, and electric strikes on both residential and community entry systems. If your HOA requires a specific lock style for master key compatibility, we source to match.

Rust Treatment

McCordsville’s humidity and road salt from winter maintenance chew through wrought-iron finishes. We sandblast or wire-wheel to bare metal, treat with rust converter, prime, and finish with a color-matched topcoat that holds up to Indiana weather. For ARB-controlled communities, we document the exact color code for your file.

Trusted Brands We Service in McCordsville

We carry certified parts and training for nine gate-automation brands, and we stock the ones that dominate McCordsville’s 2005-2018 installs: Viking, DoorKing, and Elite openers are common in the community entry systems along the SR 67 corridor, while Ghost Controls and LiftMaster appear frequently in individual driveway applications. Because we know the local housing stock, we don’t waste a trip to the warehouse - we arrive with the right board, arm, or sensor in the truck. That means your gate is working again in one visit, not two or three.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in McCordsville Homes

• Frost-heaved posts binding swing gates. Every late winter, Hancock County’s clay soils push gate posts out of plumb. By March, your gate is dragging on the driveway or missing the latch by an inch. We reset posts with frost-resistant footings that last.
• Ice-damaged opener arms and keypads. FAAC and LiftMaster operator arms accumulate ice in February storms, causing intermittent failure or false obstruction readings. We waterproof, adjust sensitivity, and replace damaged components.
• Latch-side sag on sloped lakeside lots. The grade combined with years of freeze-thaw leaves wrought-iron gates hanging crooked in Geist Reservoir-area subdivisions. This is a McCordsville-specific pattern we’ve solved dozens of times.
• Sliding gates reversing mid-cycle. Frost heave shifts the track millimeters out of alignment; safety sensors read it as an obstruction. We realign the track, clean the sensors, and adjust the limit switches.
