We are Ironworks Gate Co., and we have been providing the Best Gate Repair in Burleson, TX for driveway and estate gates in Burleson and the surrounding Johnson County communities for over 42 years. Victor Salinas built this company in 1984 on a simple standard: do the job right the first time, and stand behind it in writing. That is why every gate repair we complete carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.
Burleson homeowners tend to keep their properties for decades. We understand that. When you call us about a gate that will not close or a post that has started leaning, you are not looking for a quick patch. You want a fix that will hold through Texas summers, spring storms, and another twenty years of daily use. That is the only kind of work we do.
What Our Gate Repair Service Includes
Gate repair covers the full mechanical and electrical system of your driveway gate, from the hinges that carry the weight to the circuit board that tells the motor when to run. Here is what we handle in Burleson, broken down by the specific repair.
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gate repair addresses problems with the low-voltage wiring that carries power and signal between your keypad, safety sensors, and the control board. Burleson’s clay-heavy soil shifts with moisture through the year, and that movement can crack underground conduit and corrode wire connections. We trace the circuit, identify the break or short, and repair or replace the damaged section with outdoor-rated wire and sealed connections. When we finish, your gate responds the first time you press the button.
Automatic Gate Repair
Automatic gate repair deals with the operator itself: the motor, the control board, the limit switches, and the receiver that talks to your remote. We see a lot of boards in Burleson that have failed after lightning storms or power surges from summer thunderstorm season. We diagnose the operator systematically, replace only what has actually failed, and reprogram the limits so the gate opens fully and closes gently. We carry OEM parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so the correct fix is usually made the same day.
Hinge & Post Repair
Hinge and post repair is structural work. When a gate sags, the hinge bolts are usually wallowed out or the post itself has shifted in the ground. In Burleson, we regularly see post lean caused by the freeze-thaw cycles that loosen footing concrete. We remove the old hardware, weld or bolt in new hinge plates, and reset or reinforce the post so the gate hangs true and swings freely without dragging.
Gate Realignment
Gate realignment corrects a gate that has dropped or twisted over time. A misaligned gate forces the operator to work harder, wears out hinges and wheels, and leaves gaps at the latch. We level the gate, adjust the hinge geometry, and shim or replace the mounting hardware as needed. The goal is a gate that closes square against its stop, with even reveal from top to bottom.
Lock Repair
Lock repair covers everything from a mechanical deadbolt that will not turn to a magnetic lock or solenoid release that has stopped firing. Weather and dust are the usual culprits in Burleson. We strip and clean the lock body, replace worn tumblers or the solenoid coil, and test the full locking cycle several times. If your gate locks but will not unlock reliably, that is a safety issue, and we treat it as a priority call.
Weld & Rust Repair
Weld and rust repair restores the structural integrity of the gate frame and pickets. Texas heat and humidity accelerate surface rust, particularly at the bottom rail where water sits. We grind out the corrosion, cut out and replace rusted sections, weld in new steel, and prime and paint the repair to match the existing finish. The repaired section will carry weight like the original metal did.

Brands We Service for Gate Repair
We work on all nine major gate-automation brands, and we stock OEM parts for each one. That matters because the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair that fails in six months is often the difference between a generic board and the correct factory component.
For Gate Doors, we have serviced hundreds of units across Johnson County, from simple single-swing actuators to heavy sliding estate gates. We know their limit-switch adjustments, their common capacitor failures, and the firmware quirks on their newer boards. For DoorKing, the same applies: we have been replacing their loop detectors and reprogramming their 9150 series boards for years. And for LiftMaster and Mighty Mule units, which we see on a large share of Burleson driveways, we carry the most common replacement boards, remotes, and photo-eyes on the truck. Whatever make is on your driveway, we can diagnose and repair it, usually on the first visit.
Signs You Need Gate Repair Right Now
- The gate hesitates or stops midway. This usually means a failing limit switch, a dying capacitor, or an obstruction the safety sensors are reading incorrectly. It will not fix itself, and it will get worse, often stranding the gate in the open position.
- The gate grinds, squeals, or rattles when moving. Metal-on-metal contact means a bearing, wheel, or hinge has worn out. Running the gate in this condition accelerates the damage and can eventually burn out the motor.
- The gate sags or drags on the ground. A gate that drags is putting constant strain on the hinges and the operator. The longer it runs this way, the more expensive the repair becomes.
- The opener runs but the gate does not move. This points to a broken drive chain, stripped gear, or a failed coupler inside the operator. Continuing to press the remote only strains the motor further.
- The gate will not stay locked or drifts open after closing. A gate that drifts open is a security problem and a safety hazard if you have children or pets. It means the motor brake, the limit setting, or the latch has failed.
Our Gate Repair Process - Step by Step
- 1
Call and speak to a live person. When you call (469) 564-8046, a real human answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You describe the problem, and we ask the right questions to understand what is happening before we ever roll a truck.

The repair, done correctly. We replace the failed part with the correct component, using OEM parts when the system requires them. We do not patch a problem that needs a real fix. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained across all nine brands.

Full testing and adjustment. After the repair, we run the gate through multiple open and close cycles, check the safety reversal, adjust the limits, and confirm the lock engages. If it is an automatic gate, we test every remote and keypad on site.

Your written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Before we leave, you get our written guarantee. If anything related to the repair is not right within 90 days, we return and correct it at no charge. That has been the standard since 1984.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Burleson?
A typical hinge repair or gate realignment in Burleson runs between $160 and $340, depending on the weight of the gate and the condition of the post. Automatic opener repairs, including control boards and motor replacements, generally fall between $250 and $600. Full weld repairs on rusted sections run $200 to $450, depending on how much steel needs to be cut out and replaced.
What affects the price is simple: the weight and length of the gate, the brand of the opener, and whether the post or footing needs to be reset. The cheapest fix is rarely the right one on a 20-year-old gate, and we will tell you that plainly. What we will never do is surprise you. The price we quote before the work starts is the price on the invoice when we leave.
Every estimate is free. We also offer $50 off any repair over $250, a free second opinion on any written estimate from another company, and an $89 seasonal tune-up. Seniors and veterans save 5% on every job, always. Call (469) 564-8046 and we will tell you honestly what the job should cost.
