Gate Repair Services in Keller - Same-Day Repair, Priced Before We Start

Gate Repair Services in Keller, TX

When a driveway gate stops opening in Keller, it’s rarely a small problem. It’s a 400-pound iron panel stuck on a post that has shifted out of plumb in Blackland Prairie clay, or a gate opener that burned out during a 105-degree afternoon. Most Keller calls we take fall into two groups: the gate stopped moving entirely, or the gate moves but no longer latches, closes square, or stops where it should. Hal Gatewood and his crew have repaired both in driveways all over Keller. We answer the phone live, we show up when we say we will, and we carry on-site welding gear so the gate gets fixed where it hangs, not hauled to a shop. Call (817) 241-4067 and you’ll get a person on the line, any hour.

Why Keller Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal Gatewood started Gatewood Fence & Gate in 2001, and the shop still runs the way it did then: he answers the phone, he signs the invoice, and his name is on the work. Keller homeowners tend to appreciate that because they’ve been through the alternative. A national chain quotes a number on the phone, sends a person in a rented truck, and hands over a bill that doesn’t match the quote. We don’t do that. Every job gets an upfront price, in writing, agreed before we pick up a tool. And every repair carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something wasn’t done right, one call brings Hal back.

We have repaired gates in Hidden Lakes, Bloomfield at Keller, Villages of Stone Glen, and Marshall Ridge. Those neighborhoods have a lot of ornamental iron drive gates from the mid-2000s, and those gates are starting to need real attention: post resets, hinge rebuilds, and operator replacements. We know the gate designs on those streets because we’ve fixed them before. That matters when the fix is as much about the soil under the post as it is about the gate itself.

Every technician who shows up at a Keller home is background-checked and uniformed. We’re certified to service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule openers. And the price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.

Gate Repair Services We Offer in Keller

Gate Repair

This covers the repair-first work Hal built the business on: sagging gates, broken hinges, bent frames, cracked welds, and gates that won’t latch. In Keller, most repairs trace back to a post that has moved in expansive clay soil. We fix the post first, then the panel. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start. We weld on site in your driveway, so the gate never leaves your property.

Gate Installation

When a gate has rusted through, been hit by a vehicle, or simply outlived its structure, we install new driveway gates and pedestrian gates. We measure, order or fabricate, and set posts properly for Keller’s soil, with concrete depth that accounts for shrink-swell movement. Installation is scheduled work, not emergency dispatch, so we come out for a free measure and provide a written price before anything is ordered.

Gate Motor & Opener

When the gate itself is fine but the opener won’t move it, the problem is usually the operator, the control board, the safety photo eyes, or the wiring. Keller’s summer heat cooks wiring insulation and rubber seals on hydraulic operators, and we replace failed parts rather than selling a whole new system when one isn’t needed. We service nine major brands, including BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls.

Gate Access Control

Keypads, intercoms, vehicle loop detectors, telephone entry, and card readers all fail eventually, and when they do, the gate doesn’t open for the people who need in. We troubleshoot access control on both residential estate gates and HOA community entrances in Keller. Wiring, power supply, and the operator’s input board are all checked, and we don’t sell you a new keypad if the old one just needs a power feed repair.

See our home page for the full range of what we do.

Gate Parts & Welding

Sometimes the gate frame is still solid and only a hinge, a receiver post, a roller, or a section of decorative picket needs replaced. We weld and fabricate on site: cracked verticals, broken scrollwork, missing finials, bent frame corners. If a part exists, we replace it. If it doesn’t, we make it. Repair-first means the gate keeps its original character instead of becoming a cookie-cutter replacement panel.

Why Keller’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair

Keller sits on the Blackland Prairie, where the clay soil heaves and contracts with every wet-to-dry season swing. A gate post set in concrete can move several inches over a few years, and when it does, the gate binds, the hinges bend, and the opener burns out trying to move a panel that doesn’t want to move. We see this constantly in Keller’s master-planned subdivisions. The houses were built in the mid-1990s through the 2000s, and the ornamental iron driveway gates installed then are now 15 to 25 years old. Hinges are wallowed out. Posts are leaning. Operator arms are stripped. The climate did half the damage, time did the rest.

There’s another specifically Keller pattern worth knowing. In subdivisions with the same soil pocket, gate post failures cluster. When one house on a street needs a post reset, the neighbor two doors down is usually six to twelve months behind. We’ll often quote a post reset alongside an opener repair on one property, then get a call from the adjacent lot the following spring. Fixing the post along with the opener saves a second trip and a second service charge. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing.
