AfterFAAC Gate Parts & Welding in Burleson: What to Know First
FAAC gate parts and welding in Burleson typically runs between $180 and $900 depending on whether we’re replacing a hinge, welding a cracked rail, or rebuilding a post that Texas clay has shoved out of plumb. Most FAAC parts jobs finish same-day or next-day once we’ve seen the gate in person. We’re an independent FAAC service provider, not a factory warranty center, so we work with OEM parts when they make sense and quality aftermarket parts when they’ll save you money without cutting corners.
This page is for Burleson homeowners whose FAAC opener works fine but whose gate itself has started to sag, grind, or pull away from its posts. If that’s you, call (469) 564-8046 and tell us what the gate is doing. We’ll give you a straight answer before we touch anything.
How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
FAAC builds solid automation, but the gate hardware around it takes the real beating. Here’s what we see on Burleson driveways, week after week:
- Hinge wear on C720 and S800 series swing gates. FAAC swing operators apply steady torque, so when a hinge gets worn, the operator doesn’t struggle - it just slowly works the gate out of alignment. Homeowners notice the gate dragging at the latch or the operator humming longer than it used to. We replace the hinge set, realign the leaf, and the FAAC motor gets its easy life back.
- Cracked welds at the rack mounting points on 400 and 401 slide gates. FAAC slide operators drive a toothed rack bolted along the gate frame. If that rack was welded on by a previous installer under tension, the welds crack at the ends first. During summer expansion, hairline cracks open into visible gaps. We cut out the bad weld, clean the metal, and re-weld with correct heat to avoid warping the rack alignment.
- Post lean from Burleson clay soil. Our soil expands and contracts more than most people realize. A gate post set in concrete will still lean over a decade of wet springs and dry Augusts. FAAC operators are strong enough to keep working against a leaning post for years - right up until the hinge binds and the motor burns out. We set new posts three feet deep, below the worst movement zone, then weld the hinge tabs square.
- Latch and lock misalignment on FAAC gate systems with C721 or similar operators. FAAC operators hold the gate closed with holding torque, but the physical latch still takes abuse from wind. A misaligned latch forces the operator to work harder on every cycle, which shows up as slightly slower opening and a louder close. Rebuilding the latch strike and re-welding the keeper plate restores clean latching and lets the operator coast again.
- Bottom roller and track failure on 750 and 760 slide gate models. FAAC slide gates ride on rollers that collect silt from Burleson’s fine soil. The rollers wear into an oval shape, the gate drops a quarter inch, and the rack starts chewing the drive gear. We replace the roller set, resurface the track if needed, and reset the rack height in one trip.
Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process
Here’s how a typical FAAC parts and welding job goes at Ironworks Gate Co., from first call to cleanup:
- 1
You call (469) 564-8046. A live person answers, day or night. You describe the symptom in your own words. We schedule a time that works, not a four-hour window.
- 2
We inspect the gate and the operator together. We don’t just look at the broken weld or bad hinge. We check how the FAAC operator is responding to the hardware problem, so the fix addresses the cause instead of the loudest symptom.
- 3
We give you the price before we start. Parts, labor, disposal - written down and agreed to before a bolt gets turned. No surprises on the bill, ever.
- 4
We do the work. Hinges, posts, welds, rollers, latches - done to spec, with the FAAC operator’s torque and travel in mind. If a part is backordered in OEM, we explain the aftermarket option and let you make the call.
- 5
We test the full cycle. Open, close, obstruction stop, manual release. We check that the FAAC unit is working within its normal range, not just that the welds hold.
- 6
We leave the job clean and hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no paperwork, no exceptions.
What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Burleson
Honest numbers, because you’ll want to know before you call:
- Hinge replacement (single leaf): $180-$320
- Hinge replacement (double swing gate): $350-$650
- Gate post replacement with concrete set: $400-$800 per post
- Weld repair on cracked frame or rack mount: $150-$400 per section
- Bottom roller and track service: $220-$480
- Latch and lock rebuild: $140-$300
The biggest price mover on a FAAC job is whether the post itself needs replacing or just the hardware on it. Post work means digging, concrete, and curing time. Hardware work is usually a single visit. Remember the standing offers: $50 off any repair over $250, and a permanent 5% senior and veteran discount. We quote it all before we start - call (469) 564-8046 for a free estimate.
Why Burleson Homeowners Call Ironworks Gate Co. for FAAC Work
We’ve been serving Burleson for over 42 years, since 1984, and Victor Salinas grew up here - not far from the old Chisholm Trail Crossing area. He learned welding from his father and spent time at Tarrant County College learning the electrical side of the trade. So when a FAAC gate in Burleson fails, we already know what the soil, the wind, and the heat did to it before we even look.
We’re trained on nine gate-automation brands - FAAC, LiftMaster, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That matters when a FAAC operator shares a gate with hardware from another brand, which happens more than you’d think on older Burleson properties. Every job is protected by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in - we’ll give you a free second opinion. And if we can’t make it right the first visit, we’ll be back. That’s the Keystone Standard.
FAQs
We use OEM FAAC parts whenever they’re available and the right choice for the job. When an aftermarket equivalent is just as durable and costs you less, we tell you exactly what the trade-off is before we order anything. Most homeowners in Burleson end up with a mix - OEM for the operator internals, quality aftermarket for hardware like hinges, rollers, and rack sections.
Welding on the gate itself doesn’t touch the FAAC operator warranty, as long as the operator is disconnected during the work. We always disconnect the motor and cap the leads before any welding happens - stray current through the control board is a real way to kill an operator. That’s a step some general welders skip because they don’t know automation. We do.
Usually, yes. FAAC has kept a lot of backward compatibility over the years, and some older C-series parts cross-reference to newer models. If a part is truly discontinued, we’ll fabricate or source a functional equivalent and let you know before we proceed. Call (469) 564-8046 with your gate’s model number or a photo, and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Most FAAC parts and welding jobs in Burleson are scheduled within one to two days, and many hinge or latch repairs can be done the same day if you call early. We don’t promise same-day service on parts jobs, because some parts need to be matched and ordered. What we do promise is that we’ll show up when we say we will.
If the operator runs and the only problems are worn hinges, a cracked weld, or a leaning post, repair almost always costs less than replacement - often by thousands. A full gate replacement in Burleson starts around $2,500 on the low end, while most hardware repairs land under $600. We’ll give you the repair price and the replacement price and let you decide. Estimates are free.
