What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes

Gate work splits into two trades: the steel and the hardware. We do both. Victor Salinas and our background-checked, uniformed technicians weld in the field, replace hinges, set posts, rebuild rails, and install gate rollers, latches, and locks, all under our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Here is what that covers in Grapevine.

Hinge Replacement

Most gate failures start at the hinge. Over time, a hinge pin wears, the barrel opens up, or the weld that holds the hinge to the post or the gate frame cracks. You will notice the gate dragging on the ground, a creak that gets worse, or a lean that was not there last spring. We remove the old hinge, match or fabricate a replacement, weld it square, and get the gate swinging true, quiet, and level. We keep common hinge sizes on the truck and can weld up a heavier-duty hinge when a gate has sagged once too often.

Post Replacement

The post is the backbone of the whole gate, and in Grapevine’s clay soil, posts move. A gate post can rust through below grade, heave with the seasons, or simply loosen over decades until the gate leans and the latch no longer lines up. We dig out the old post, set a new one in concrete to the proper depth for the gate’s weight, and re-hang the gate square. When we are done, the post is plumb, the concrete is below the soil line, and the gate opens and closes like the day it was first hung.

Rail Repair

Gates built on a rail system, especially heavy driveway and estate gates, show their age in the rail first. A bent rail, a broken wheel track, or a rail that has drifted out of alignment makes a gate bind, jump, or refuse to move at all. We straighten or replace rails, reset the track to specification, and adjust the trucks so the gate rolls under power without fighting. If the rail has rusted through, we weld in a new section or build a replacement rail to match the gate’s existing steel.

Custom Welding

Sometimes the part is not made anymore, or the gate is from a fabricator who retired twenty years ago. That is where the welding craft matters. We weld cracked frames, reinforce failing corners, build replacement pickets, fabricate brackets, weld in new steel where rust has eaten through, and do it all on-site so the gate never has to leave your property. A cracked weld fixed today is a collapsed gate avoided next year, and we would rather fix the crack the first time than chase it every season.

Gate Rollers

The rollers, or trucks, carry the full weight of a rolling gate, and when a bearing seizes or a wheel wears flat, the whole gate shudders and grinds. You might hear a rumble when the gate opens, or see the gate bounce as it moves. We replace worn rollers, upgrade to sealed bearing rollers where the gate’s weight allows, and set the tension so the gate rolls without strain on the motor. This is one of the most common repairs we perform in Grapevine, and it usually beats a motor replacement by a wide margin on cost.

Latch & Lock

The latch is what keeps your gate closed when it is not running, and a latch that flops, binds, or will not catch is a gate that no longer does its job. We adjust, rebuild, or replace latches and locks, including maglocks and solenoid locks tied to your existing opener. If the gate has shifted and the latch and strike no longer meet, we correct the alignment and weld in a new strike plate as needed so the lock actually locks.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding

We have worked on FAAC equipment across Grapevine for decades, and we stock the replacement parts and hardware those gates commonly need: hinge sets, limit brackets, latch assemblies, and the small fabricated steel pieces that FAAC does not sell off the shelf. When a FAAC gate is out of line or a bracket has cracked, we know what it should measure and how to get it back there.

The same is true for BFT, Linear, and Viking. BFT gates tend to use specific hinge and track configurations that we keep on hand or can match in our shop. Linear gates, common on larger Grapevine properties and nearby areas, need rollers and rail work that we handle regularly, along with Southlake Gate Parts & Welding. Viking equipment is heavy and calls for field welding on the frame and post that most gate companies will not do; we do it. Whatever brand is on your driveway, we can service it, fabricate for it, and keep it running.

Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now

• Your gate drags or leaves a mark on the driveway. A dragging gate usually means a worn hinge, a loose post, or a roller that has given out. Every opening scrapes the gate lower and loads the motor harder, and the repair bill grows the longer it rides.
• The gate leans visibly, even a little. Leaning starts small, then the latch misses, then the post or hinge tears loose. In Grapevine’s shifting clay, a leaning gate rarely straightens itself.
• You hear grinding, rumbling, or screeching when the gate moves. That sound is metal on metal where metal should be rolling or sliding on a bearing. A roller, hinge, or track problem that goes unaddressed will eventually destroy the part it runs on.
• A weld is cracked, rusted through, or flaking orange. A cracked weld is a structural failure waiting for a windstorm or a push. We weld these before they fail, because welding a crack takes an afternoon and rebuilding a fallen gate takes far longer.
• The latch will not catch or the lock will not throw. The gate that will not stay closed is not doing its only job. Alignment, a worn strike, or a broken latch brings us out quickly to put it right.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. When you call (432) 237-4128, a live person answers, day or night. You explain what the gate is doing, and we schedule a time. No voicemail trees, no callbacks that never come.
2. 2
   We inspect, measure, and level. On-site, we check the gate with levels, straights, and our own hands. We look at the hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latch, and welds, and we find the actual cause, not just the obvious symptom.
3. 3
   You get a firm price before we start. We quote the work in writing and we do not turn the first bolt until you have approved the price. A square deal: upfront price, no surprises on the bill.
4. 4
   We weld, replace, and set it right. Our technicians repair or replace the parts, weld in the field where the job calls for it, and run the gate through full cycles to confirm it opens and closes correctly under load.
5. 5
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. Every job we complete, including every weld, hinge, post, roller, and latch, is covered by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.

How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Grapevine?

A typical hinge replacement on a single driveway gate in Grapevine runs between $250 and $600, depending on the gate’s weight and whether we weld or bolt the new hinge. Post replacement is the bigger job: $800 to $2,500, with the spread mostly driven by post size, concrete work, and whether the gate is steel or ornamental iron. Gate roller replacement usually lands between $300 and $700 for a pair, and custom welding runs $150 to $400 for most field welds on cracked frames and brackets. Latch and lock work typically costs $150 to $450. These are honest ranges, not promises; your exact price is quoted before we start.

Three things move the price: the gate’s weight, the condition of what is around the broken part, and whether the gate is automated or manual. A heavier gate needs heavier parts and deeper posts. A post that is rusted at the base often means the hinge and latch need repositioning too, and we will tell you if that is the case instead of patching one corner. The way to avoid overpaying is simple: get a firm written price before work starts, and make sure the warranty is in writing, not spoken. Our estimates are free, and we will never quote a job sight-unseen and then change the number when we arrive.

Call (432) 237-4128 for an exact quote. The estimate is free, the price is settled before work starts, and the job is guaranteed in writing.
