AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Irving
If your Irving gate sags, scrapes, or won’t close square, you’re dealing with either worn hardware, a shifting post, or a stressed weld. Most hinge replacements and custom welding jobs in Irving run $180 to $640, and post replacement typically lands between $350 and $1,100 depending on footing depth and whether the old concrete has to be jackhammered out. Ironworks Gate Co. has been doing this work since 1984, and we’ve repaired enough Las Colinas driveway gates to know exactly what Irving’s soil and aging gate stock do to steel. Call (817) 242-5426 and a live person answers, day or night.
Reviews from Irving homeowners consistently mention two things: we show up when we say we will, and the price we quote is the price on the bill. That’s not a slogan. It’s how Victor Salinas has run this company for over four decades, and it’s why homeowners in University Hills, Valley Ranch, and the Las Colinas corridor call us before they call anyone else.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Irving’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Irving’s housing stock splits two ways. The postwar tracts north of Highway 183, built from the 1950s through the 1970s, are heavy on chain-link and wood privacy gates with simple hinges and latch hardware. The Las Colinas developments, built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, are a different animal entirely: ornamental iron driveway swing gates mounted on poured concrete pilasters, many still running their original operators. We work both ends of that spectrum every week, so we don’t have to guess what your gate needs.
Our Gate Parts & Welding specialists carry hinge kits, post stock, and welding rigs fully equipped for mobile work, which means most Irving repairs are completed in a single visit. You get a written price before a single bolt is turned, and every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No argument, no paperwork, no exceptions.
We’re not the biggest gate company in the metroplex. We’re the one that’s been here since 1984, plans to be here another forty years, and treats every Irving driveway like it’s our own mother’s. Background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. A live person on the phone 24 hours a day. And a written guarantee behind every weld, every hinge, every post.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Irving
Here’s what we handle most often in Irving, and why each one matters differently here than in surrounding cities.
Hinge Replacement
Irving’s black clay soil is the quiet enemy of gate hinges. It swells with spring rain and contracts in summer drought, which shifts posts microscopically season after season. Over a few years those fractional movements translate into hinge pins binding, leaf sag, and metal fatigue at the weld points. We replace worn hinge assemblies on both swing and slide gates, and in Irving we typically recommend heavier-gauge hinge kits than what most gates originally shipped with, simply because the soil movement demands more tolerance than a hinge spec’d for a stable climate.
Post Replacement
When a post is leaning more than a degree or two, or when the footing has cracked, hinge replacement alone won’t hold the gate plumb. We saw it recently on a Las Colinas property off Lake Carolyn Parkway: a dual ornamental iron swing gate installed in 1994 with original single-phase wiring. The hinge posts had rotted at the footing line. We cut out the old footings, poured new concrete, rehung the welded-leaf assembly with a current LiftMaster hinge kit, and walked the homeowner through photo-eye alignment. The architectural control committee had already rejected another company’s repair because their pilaster mortar didn’t match the required masonry profile. We handle the HOA documentation side, too.
Rail Repair
Slide gates in Irving take a beating from the same clay movement that torments swing gates. When the ground shifts under a V-track or a cantilever rail, the gate runs out of level, the rollers bind, and eventually the rack and pinion starts stripping teeth. Rail repair often means more than welding a cracked section: it means re-leveling the rail on adjustable stands and re-welding it at the correct height. We do that work in place, without hauling the gate off to a shop.
Custom Welding
Not every Irving gate needs a part off a shelf. When a decorative scroll breaks off an ornamental iron leaf, when a fixture needs a custom bracket, or when a homeowner wants a reinforcement gusset added to an aging weld, we fabricate on site. Our welding is done to match the existing profile and finish, which matters in Las Colinas where HOA architectural control committees enforce black powder-coat standards and specific masonry repair methods. A weld that functions but doesn’t match the aesthetic gets rejected. We weld it once, to match, the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Irving’s older gates tend to run LiftMaster, Linear, and a handful of legacy platforms that most gate companies no longer stock parts for. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite operators, among others, and we keep the common hinge kits, rack segments, and replacement boards those systems need. For Irving customers, that usually means we finish the job the same day we diagnose it, because the part is already on the truck rather than on order from a distributor.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Seasonal leaf sag on swing gates. The gates looked square in November, and by May they’re dragging. Irving’s expansive clay soil shifts posts out of plumb every wet-dry cycle, and pre-1990 installations with shallow footings show it first. Annual re-welding or post-shimming is often the only honest fix short of new footings.
- Hinge-post metal fatigue. When a post leans, the hinge carries torque it wasn’t designed for. We see stress cracks radiating from hinge welds on Irving gates that have been “straightened” too many times. The metal work-hardens, then fails. Replacement is cheaper than repeated welding at that point.
- Photo-eye lens clouding on west-facing pilasters. Las Colinas gates with operators mounted on south- or west-facing pilasters bake in 100°F-plus summers. The plastic photo-eye lenses haze over, and the unit stops responding. Cleaning helps temporarily; replacement with shaded or better-rated lenses is the durable fix.
- Obsolete control boards on 1980s and 1990s operators. Las Colinas was built out during a specific era, which means hundreds of LiftMaster and Linear units from that window are hitting end-of-life at the same time. A burned board on a 30-year-old operator often means it’s time to retrofit rather than repair, and we’ll tell you honestly which one makes sense.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Irving, TX
Here’s what Irving homeowners should expect to pay. Hinge replacement on a standard single swing gate runs $180 to $340. Post replacement runs $350 to $1,100 depending on footing depth, concrete removal, and whether the post is ornamental iron or structural steel. Custom welding starts around $95 for a small bracket or scroll repair and goes up from there based on steel thickness, access, and finish matching. Rail repair on a slide gate typically lands between $250 and $700. Every price is quoted and agreed in writing before we start. You’ll never see a surprise line item. Call (817) 242-5426 for an exact quote; estimates are free, and we offer $50 off any repair over $250.
We also honor a standing 5% senior and veteran discount, every day, on every job. And if you’ve already got a written estimate from another company, bring it to us for a free second opinion. Sometimes we’ll save you money; sometimes we’ll tell you the other quote is fair. Either way, you’ll know.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Irving
Irving’s expansive black clay soil swells with spring rains and contracts in summer drought, shifting your gate posts slightly out of plumb every cycle. A weld holds the leaf true, but it can’t stop the ground from moving under the post. The durable fix is resetting the affected post in a deeper concrete footing, sometimes with a steel sleeve. Call (817) 242-5426 for a free assessment; we’ll tell you honestly whether a reshoot will hold or whether the post needs new concrete.
In most cases, yes. LiftMaster and Linear operators from the 1980s and 1990s can often accept modern UL 325-compliant photo-eye kits, external receivers, and keypads. It depends on the board revision and whether the control transformer has enough headroom for the newer accessories. We’ll bench-test your board before recommending retrofit parts or a full operator swap. Estimates are free.
Most Las Colinas HOAs require repair work to match specific standards: black powder-coat finish, approved operator brands, and masonry repair methods that match the original pilaster profile. If a weld repair doesn’t conform, the committee can reject it and require full replacement. We’re familiar with those documentation requirements and will guide you through the approval process before we weld.
It can be either. Ground movement under the rail throws the drive system out of alignment, so the pinion no longer meshes square with the rack teeth. Stripping results. Re-welding the rack without re-leveling the rail won’t fix it. We diagnose the root cause first, then quote the repair. Call (817) 242-5426 and we’ll get a technician out to look at it.
Because Las Colinas is a master-planned development built out between the late 1970s and the 1990s, which concentrated hundreds of ornamental iron automated gates on the same generation of LiftMaster, Linear, and HySecurity operator platforms. Those original units are now 25 to 45 years old and failing on a similar timeline. Grand Prairie doesn’t have an equivalent master-planned corridor, so its gate repair demand is more spread out. In Irving, the density of aging hardware is unmatched.
