AfterGate Repair Services in Hurst, TX
Hurst sits on some of the most active clay soil in North Texas, and that clay is hard on driveway gates. Posts heave, hinges bind, and a gate that swung clean ten years ago now drags across the concrete. Ironworks Gate Co. repairs and realigns gates across the 76053 and 76054 zip codes, and we answer the phone when you call, day or night, because a gate that will not close is not something that can wait until Monday. Our crews work out of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and serve Hurst locally, so we know exactly what this soil does to a gate post. Call (432) 237-4128 and we will sort it out.

Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Most homeowners in Hurst have lived in the same house for twenty years or more, and many know us for also serving Bedford, TX. They have seen contractors come and go. When they call us, they want a company that will still be here when the next repair is needed, and they want a straight answer about what is wrong and what it will cost. We have been doing this work for over 42 years, and we are not going anywhere. The company was founded in 1984, and it plans to be in town for another forty.
We serve the older subdivisions along Brown Trail, the neighborhoods east of Precinct Line Road, and the ranch homes tucked north of Pipeline Road. Homeowners there call us because they know our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, our price is settled before a single bolt is turned, and every job carries a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. That is the whole arrangement.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hurst
Gate Repair
A gate that drags, sags, or will not latch is usually a hinge, post, or weld problem, and in Hurst that problem is often the soil, not the hardware. We replace hinges, re-hang leaves, cut out cracked welds and re-weld them clean, and get the gate swinging true again. Most repairs are finished in one visit.

Gate Installation
A new driveway gate in Hurst needs footings dug below the active clay zone, or the same heaving that took out your old gate will take the new one too. We build and hang steel, iron, and aluminum gates with the correct pier depth for this soil, and the job is measured, quoted, and scheduled before any steel shows up on the truck.

Gate Motor & Opener
When a motor opens fine but will not close, or trips the breaker, or the gate stops halfway, the cause is usually a bad limit switch, a worn gear, or a photo-eye knocked out of alignment. Our Gate Access Control - Hurst team handles these issues daily. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite openers, among others, and diagnose the actual fault before recommending any part.

Gate Access Control
Keypads that stopped taking codes, intercoms that quit ringing the house, and remotes that only work from two feet away are fixable. We test the run of wire, replace or reprogram the keypad, and leave you with every code working and every remote paired.

Gate Parts & Welding
We keep common hinge barrels, V-wheel brackets, and opener parts on hand, and we weld in the field. If the post moved and tore the hinge collar, we weld it back square and solid. If the part is not on the truck, we order it and come back for one clean visit.

Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hurst sits on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay formation, and that one geographical fact drives more gate repair calls here than any other. Clay soil swells when wet, shrinks when dry, and during a North Texas summer the cycle runs every time it rains and then bakes dry again. A concrete gate post set in that clay will heave and tilt. Five to seven years is all it takes. The result is a gate that leans visibly off vertical while the hinges and motor are still in fine shape. The repair is not hardware. The repair is digging out the footing, re-plumbing the post, and setting it at a depth and with a bell-bottom shape that resists the next heave cycle. A technician who has not worked Hurst clay will replace the hinge and call it done. Six months later the gate is dragging again. That is why we treat post work as the first suspicion on every leaning gate here.
Hurst is a fully built-out mid-century suburb. Most of the housing stock dates from the late 1950s through the 1970s: brick ranch homes with wood privacy fences and ornamental wrought iron driveway gates from the same era. Those original gates have endured forty to fifty years of soil movement, and the most common problems we see are structural post failure and rust-through at the hinge collar. The rust weakens the connection, and the moving soil finishes the job. Weld failure at the stress points also shows up commonly, because North Texas heat expands and contracts the steel every single day. By late summer, after a long dry spell breaks with heavy rain, that combination of heat-stressed welds and rapidly shifting soil is what fills our schedule. Which is exactly why we staff a live phone line around the clock.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hurst
Most gate repairs in Hurst run between $180 and $650 depending on whether the issue is a hinge, a weld, or a post that has moved in the clay soil. The price is quoted and agreed before we begin, and our seasonal tune-up starts at $89. Call (432) 237-4128 for an exact number on your gate, and the estimate is free.
In most cases we can have a technician to your Hurst home the same day, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the gate is stuck open or will not close, that is a security and safety issue, and we treat it as a priority. Call (432) 237-4128 whenever you spot it.
The Blackland Prairie clay under Hurst expands and contracts with every wet-dry cycle, and over a few years it can push a concrete gate post several inches off vertical. The fix is re-setting the post at a proper depth for this soil, not shimming the hinge. We dig the old footing, bell the bottom of the new pier, and set the post true. It is the most common repair we make in the 76053 and 76054 zip codes.
Yes. We run the power to the opener, wire the control board, set the safety edges and photo-eyes, and test the full open-close cycle before we leave. Gate openers involve line voltage and moving steel, so this is work for a trained technician, not a handyman. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, Elite, and Mighty Mule openers, among others.
Every job 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 back-and-forth, and no extra charge within the covered scope. Call (432) 237-4128 and we will arrange the return visit.

What Hurst Customers Say
"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"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one on the truck, and we were moving cars again inside an hour."
- Chris Gallagher"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Devon Ingram
