Why Kennedale Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
We’re a dedicated gate company, not a general handyman service that “also does gates.” That distinction matters in Kennedale, where many properties still have heavy welded-steel swing gates hung on posts set into Blackland Prairie clay. These aren’t the lightweight subdivision gates you see in our Arlington service area. Getting them right takes a welder’s eye and an automation tech’s patience, and we bring both on every call.
Homeowners around the Treasure subdivision, the neighborhoods off New Hope Road, and the acreage parcels east of Kennedale Speedway Park call us because our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, and ready to diagnose on the first visit. We don’t schedule a guess. We show up, find the actual failure, quote the price before work begins, and then fix it. Led by Victor Salinas, our crew treats every Kennedale driveway the way we’d treat a neighbor’s: carefully, respectfully, and without leaving scrap or mess behind.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Kennedale
Gate Repair
Dropped hinges, cracked welds, sagging leafs, latch strikes that no longer line up – these are the bread and butter of Kennedale gate repair. We fix the gate in place whenever possible, saving you the cost and disruption of removal. If a post has shifted with the clay, we’ll tell you straight and rebuild the footing properly.

Gate Installation
Installing a new driveway or pasture gate in Kennedale means accounting for grade, vehicle width, and the shrink-swell soil beneath every post hole. We measure twice, order steel to spec, and set footings below the active clay zone so the gate stays square through wet and dry years. Every installation is quoted before the first hole is dug.

Gate Motor & Opener
Kennedale’s summer heat is hard on automatic gate openers. Circuit boards cook, batteries swell, and solar panels undercharge. We service nine automation brands, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so whatever is on your post we can bring it back to life on the first visit.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, remote receivers, vehicle sensors – when the gate won’t respond to the clicker or the code you’ve used for a decade, we trace the whole signal path and fix the actual point of failure with Gate Access Control in Kennedale expertise. That’s often a corroded junction connection or a failing radio receiver, not the opener itself.
Call (469) 564-8046 to schedule access control diagnostics in Kennedale.
Gate Parts & Welding
We keep a broad stock of hinges, rollers, latch hardware, wheels, and operator parts on our trucks for Kennedale Gate Parts & Welding work, and our technicians carry welding rigs on gate calls. When a cracked weld on a 16-foot pipe gate needs re-welding on site, we do it without removing the gate from the posts. It’s faster, cheaper, and stronger than a bolt-on patch kit.
Call (469) 564-8046 for on-site welding and parts replacement in Kennedale.

Why Kennedale’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Kennedale sits on Blackland Prairie soil, and that single fact shapes more gate failures here than any other cause. The clay expands when wet and contracts hard during drought. A post that was perfectly plumb in October can be leaning by April. The gate drops, the latch no longer catches, and the automatic opener starts straining against a misaligned track. We’ve rebuilt enough posts in 76060 to know the practical solution: dig below the active clay zone, typically 24 to 30 inches, and set the post in proper concrete. Anything shallower invites the same repair call again after the next wet season.
Add Kennedale’s 105-degree summer afternoons and the picture sharpens. Heat accelerates failure on automatic opener circuit boards, nylon rollers, and solar battery banks. On acreage properties, where driveway gates are longer and heavier than anything in a standard suburban subdivision, these failures happen faster. A 20-foot steel pipe gate dragging its free end on caliche applies enormous torque at the hinge post every time it cycles. That constant stress is exactly why the welded hinge blocks crack and the post tips outward. We see it every summer up and down the county roads east of 287.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Kennedale
Most gate repairs in Kennedale run between $180 and $450, with post rebuilds and automation work on the higher end. The big variable is whether the post has shifted in the clay or whether it’s just a hinge or weld failure. You’ll get an exact quote before any work begins, and we back every repair with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (469) 564-8046 for a free estimate.
In most cases, yes. If the failure is a broken hinge, a cracked weld, or a simple latch problem, our techs usually complete the repair in a single visit. Gate opener diagnostics also happen same-visit in the majority of cases. Call us before noon and we’ll usually have your gate working again before dinner.
Kennedale’s clay soil expands when it gets wet, then shrinks as it dries. This cycle slowly racks gate posts out of plumb. The gate leaf drops, the latch misses, and you’ve got a dragging gate. Shallow concrete footings, common on older and DIY-installed gates, accelerate the problem. The permanent fix is digging down below the active clay zone, typically 24 to 30 inches deep, and resetting the post properly.
Yes. Our technicians are trained and equipped on nine brands, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We diagnose the entire circuit, not just the motor. If your opener works intermittently on 105-degree days, that’s a heat-related component failure we can typically repair on the first visit.
That’s a large share of our Kennedale work. Long, heavy pipe-frame gates on horse properties put heavy stress on hinges and posts, especially when mounted on caliche or unlevel ground. We weld on-site, reinforce as needed, and set posts deep enough that they stay put through the next wet-dry cycle. Call (469) 564-8046 and we’ll set a visit that fits your schedule.

What Kennedale Customers Say
"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
- Veronica Ramirez"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
