AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Colleyville
If you live in Colleyville, your driveway gate is probably a wide, heavy double-swing or slide gate built in the 1980s or 1990s, and it is probably showing its age. Gate parts and welding repairs in Colleyville typically run $225 to $1,800 depending on whether we are re-welding a cracked hinge, replacing a heaving post, or swapping out an obsolete operator. Our crews know the estate lots off Glade Road and the gated enclaves around Timarron the way a local should, and we carry the parts and welding gear to get your gate closing cleanly again, usually in one visit. Call (432) 237-4128 and a live person answers, day or night, and tells you exactly when we can be there.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Colleyville’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Colleyville homeowners tend to keep their gates longer than most, because the home was built to stay in and the gate was part of that promise. That means the gate work we do in Colleyville is different from the work we do in newer parts of the Metroplex. We are not usually replacing a five-year-old builder-grade gate. We are re-welding a 1993 ornamental iron panel, re-setting a hinge post that the black clay under Tarrant County has heaved out of plumb, and deciding honestly whether a first-generation operator board is worth repairing or whether the whole drive system has earned retirement.
Our Gate Parts & Welding team has done this long enough, over 42 years across North Texas, to know that the right answer in Colleyville is often a repair that keeps the original iron and updates the parts that failed. And every job, from a hinge replacement to a full custom weld, goes home protected by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. No paperwork, no arguing. If it is not right, we come back and make it right.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Colleyville
We handle the full scope of gate parts and welding work for Colleyville estates, from hinge pins to full custom fabrication. Here is what we most often do for this area’s wide, heavy gates.
Hinge Replacement
Colleyville double-swing gates, the 14-to-16-foot configurations common on half-acre lots, put enormous load on their hinge barrels. When the original hinge pins wear oval or the barrel welds crack, the gate leaf sags until it drags the driveway and overworks the operator. We cut out and replace worn hinges, re-hang the gate to a proper reveal, and usually have it swinging true the same day. If the operator has been fighting a sagging gate for years, we check its current draw before we leave, because a hinge repair often saves a motor that was days from burning out.
Post Replacement
The expansive clay soil in Colleyville swells through wet springs and shrinks through 100-degree summers, and a 1990s-installed gate post set in plain concrete was never going to hold forever. When a hinge post or latch post has moved enough that the gate will not catch or close, no amount of hinge shimming fixes it. We remove the old post, pour a deeper footing suited to local soil movement, and set the replacement plumb before re-hanging the gate and re-checking latch alignment. If your post is on the visible HOA-facing side, we will help you confirm the finish and profile match the architectural committee’s expectation before we touch it.
Rail Repair
Cantilever slide gates, the type on many Colleyville estate driveways, depend on straight, true rail sections. When a rail section bends, cracks at a weld, or rusts through after decades of North Texas weather, the gate binds or jerks through its cycle, which wears rollers and strains the motor. We cut out the damaged rail section, weld in new formed track, and align the whole run so the gate travels without hesitation. In several cases, we have found a bent rail was the only reason a homeowner was about to replace a perfectly good operator.
Custom Welding
Colleyville’s ornamental gates are individual work. The scrollwork was often hand-forged or shop-fabricated to match the house’s trim, and the worst thing we could do is bolt on a patch that looks like a patch. Our welders fabricate repair sections, mounting plates, and replacement pickets that match the existing iron profile and finish, then dress the weld so it disappears. In Deacon Creek, we recently fabricated a new mounting plate for a LiftMaster operator swap on a 1995 slide gate, then powder coated it in dark bronze to match the existing iron, all cleared through the HOA beforehand.

Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
Colleyville gates carry a mix of brands, often several in the same driveway: a 1990s Linear operator on the main gate, a Mighty Mule on the pedestrian gate, maybe an Elite on the rear service gate. Our techs are factory-trained on all of the major systems you are likely to have, including LiftMaster and FAAC, and we stock common parts locally so we are not waiting on a distributor in Dallas when your gate is dead. The time to diagnose a brand correctly is before anyone turns a wrench, and we have the training to do that on nine major gate-automation brands on the first visit, not the third.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Post heave from North Texas clay soil. The same ground movement that cracks Colleyville driveways also moves gate posts out of plumb, especially on 1990s double-swing installations with shallow footings. A leaning post loads the hinge barrels unevenly, and before long the gate leaf sags far enough to scrape the approach.
- Obsolete first-generation operator boards. Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s often still have a Linear or US Automatic board-driven operator that has lived decades past its design life. The board either fails intermittently or cannot pair with modern remotes, and the honest fix is often a full operator swap rather than chasing a part no one has stocked in 20 years.
- Freeze-cracked rollers and hydraulic operators. Colleyville’s hard-freeze events, like February 2021, crack cast-iron rollers and split hydraulic lines that were never specified for sustained sub-20-degree weather. We see the aftermath every spring: gates that roll fine until the bearing seizes, or operators that weep fluid from a hairline crack opened by the ice.
- HOA-sensitive visible hardware. In established Colleyville enclaves with active architectural committees, any visible hardware change, hinge post replacement, operator swap, or even a touch-up coat of a different black, can require approval. We know how to phrase the work so the committee sees a maintenance item, not an alteration.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville, TX
A hinge replacement on a typical Colleyville double-swing gate runs $225 to $550 per leaf, depending on hinge size and how much re-alignment the gate needs. Post replacement runs $600 to $1,400 per post, including new concrete and resetting the gate. Rail repair on a cantilever slide gate runs $400 to $1,200 depending on how much rail must be cut out.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville
Most of the time, you need hinge work or a post reset, not a whole new gate. We can rebuild the hinge barrels, or if the post has moved in the clay soil, reset the post properly and re-hang the gate. Replacing the whole panel is the right answer only when the frame is rusted through or the lower rail has lost structural integrity, and we will show you the rust with a flashlight before we ever suggest it. Call (432) 237-4128 and we can look at your gate this week, usually with a fixed quote in hand before anyone starts work.
In most cases with a mid-1990s Linear board, the part is obsolete and no longer manufactured, and a repair tech trying to keep that board alive is throwing your money into a circuit that will fail again. We will check for intermittent wiring and relay issues first, but if the board itself is dead, the only honest fix is an operator swap to a modern LiftMaster or equivalent, done to match your visible hardware. The good news is that the swap is usually a single visit, and the new operator gets safety features the old one never had.
We see it every time Tarrant County gets a sustained hard freeze. Cast-iron gate rollers crack when water gets into micro-fissures and freezes, and hydraulic operators split lines for the same reason. A “frozen” gate after the thaw is usually a seized roller bearing or a cracked cylinder, and both are repairable, though we recommend replacing rather than re-welding a cast-iron roller that has already cracked once. Call (432) 237-4128 and we will schedule a look while the ground is still workable, before the next cold snap does more damage.
Most gates installed in the 1980s and early 1990s in Colleyville predate today’s UL 325 entrapment-protection requirements, which means the safety photocells and inherent obstruction-sensing may be missing or dead. A gate that reverses only when someone stands in front of the photocell, or that does not have working contact edges, does not meet current safety practice and should be addressed on a repair call. We will test the system when we are out for any gate work, and if it fails, we will show you what failed and quote the correction before any werk proceeds.
Yes, and we match it in shape, thickness, and finish, not just approximate size. We have fabricated matching scrollwork for Colleyville gates where the original shop is long gone, and when the finishing is required, we work with the HOA-facing finish so the repair is invisible to the street. The goal is for a neighbor who has looked at that gate for ten years to never notice a change, except that it closes properly again. Call (432) 237-4128 for a free measure and a detailed quote on the weld work your gate is asking for.
