Gate Repair Services We Offer in Arlington
Gate Repair
A gate that drags the driveway, sticks at the latch, or swings wild in the wind is usually a symptom of deeper trouble: worn hinges, a bent post, or a spring that finally gave out. We diagnose the full mechanism, not just the visible symptom, so the repair lasts. Gate Repair in Arlington covers everything from sagging wood frames to broken welds on iron gates.

Gate Installation
A new gate is a real commitment of steel, concrete, and careful measurement. We don’t install a gate that will lean in three years because the footings were too shallow. Gate Installation in Arlington is our specialty, from simple ranch gates to ornamental iron estate doors, set to hold their plumb through Arlington’s worst drought years.

Gate Motor & Opener
When the motor hums but the gate doesn’t move, or the remote works only from six feet away, the problem could be the board, the capacitor, the limit switch, or a stripped gear. We carry parts and service training for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Gate Motor & Opener in Arlington means we bring the right diagnostic tools and parts, so we fix it the same day more often than not.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, card readers, intercoms, and phone-entry systems all eventually fail from heat, moisture, or wear. We install and repair Gate Access Control - Arlington that works the way it was designed to, with no callbacks. Our access control work is wired clean, mounted level, and tested until it works every time.

Gate Parts & Welding
When an iron gate snaps a picket or the hinge mount tears loose, we don’t replace the whole gate unless it’s truly finished. We weld, re-hang, and rebuild. A 40-year-old gate can close like the day it was hung with the right parts and a steady hand on the torch.

Why Arlington’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Arlington sits on the same expansive black clay that defines all of Tarrant County. This soil drinks up spring rain and swells, then bakes in July and cracks into fissures. Gate posts set in that clay move, and they don’t move politely. We routinely find gate posts along subdivisions off Sublett Road and in the 76001 and 76002 corridors that were set in the 1980s with footings only 12 to 18 inches deep. After a wet spring, the posts heave an inch or more. By August, the gate drags the ground. The real fix is not bending the hinge back into position. The real fix is resetting the post 24 or more inches down, below the active clay zone, in a proper concrete footing. That is the difference between a repair that holds for six months and one that holds for thirty years.
Arlington’s sustained 100°F summers also dry and warp wood gate frames, and the thermal expansion can bind iron hardware. When an ice storm hits, lightweight aluminum and wood gates can collapse under the ice load. The housing stock in south Arlington, built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, is now reaching the age where original posts, hardware, and wooden frames fail together. We see it every week: a gate that looks like it needs one hinge actually needs the post reset, the frame stiffened, and the hinges replaced as a matched set.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Arlington
We don’t quote jobs over the phone without seeing the gate, because a “simple hinge repair” on a post that has heaved out of plumb isn’t simple. That said, here’s what Arlington homeowners can generally expect, and we’ll write a firm price before we touch a wrench:
- Hinge or latch replacement: $175-$295
- Post reset with new concrete footing: $425-$875 depending on depth and access
- Gate motor diagnosis and board replacement: $350-$795
- Full welded gate rebuild (repairing steel or iron frame): $650-$1,450
- Complete new driveway gate with opener, installed: $2,800-$7,500 depending on iron or aluminum and automation
Every price is quoted and agreed before any work begins. We honor our standing offers on every job: $50 off any repair over $250, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and an $89 seasonal tune-up. Seniors and veterans always receive 5% off. Call (469) 564-8046 for a free estimate.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Arlington
Most Arlington gate repairs run between $175 and $795, depending on whether the job is a hinge, a motor, or a post that needs resetting. Small hinge and latch fixes typically cost $175 to $295, while post resets and motor board replacements run higher.

For repair calls, yes. We keep same-day availability for Arlington across the week, especially for a gate that won’t close and leaves the house open. A live person answers at any hour, and we will give you a straight answer on scheduling before you hang up.
That is one of the most common repairs we do in Arlington. When a post has heaved or tilted out of plumb because the footing was too shallow, we dig it out, set a new post 24-plus inches deep below the active clay zone, and pour a proper concrete collar. It’s not a 20-minute fix, and anyone who tells you it is hasn’t worked in Arlington soil. Call (469) 564-8046 and we will come measure and explain exactly what your gate needs.
We are trained and equipped on nine major brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Most Arlington homes have one of these, and we typically fix the opener on the first visit because we carry the common parts for each.
Yes. A full installation includes the measured gate, the posts set deep enough for Arlington’s clay, the concrete, the opener, the power run, safety edges if the gate is automated, and the programming. We schedule installations ahead, never same-day, so you get a careful, unhurried job. Call (469) 564-8046 and we will schedule a free measure and put a written price in your hand.

What Arlington Customers Say
"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Jamal Dawson"The gate works properly now and the price was fair. It did take two visits, because the operator we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They did not charge for the second trip."
- Carrie Mercer"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
