AfterGate Repair Services in Hurst, TX
Hurst sits on some of the most expansive clay soil in Tarrant County, and that single fact shapes nearly every gate repair we do here. Posts heave, frames twist, and a gate that closed perfectly in April can drag by August. Ironworks Gate Co. keeps crews scheduled in Hurst throughout the week, and when you call (817) 242-5426 a live person answers, day or night. We know the difference between a hinge problem and a post problem in this city, and we fix both the first time.
Key takeaways:
- Gate repair in Hurst usually costs between $180 and $340 for common fixes like hinge replacement, latch repair, or post re-plumbing.
- Most Hurst gate repairs are completed in one visit, with the price settled before work begins.
- Hurst’s clay soil means post movement is often the root cause of a dragging or sagging gate, not the hardware itself.
- Every job is covered by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
We built our reputation in neighborhoods like Colonial Hills and Hurst Hills, where ranch-style homes from the 1955 to 1980 era dominate the streets. Homeowners there have lived through the cycle: a handyman patches a hinge, the gate works for a season, and then the clay moves again and the gate starts scraping the driveway. Our approach is different because our diagnosis is different. We check the posts before we touch the hardware, because in Hurst the post is usually the real story.
Victor Salinas leads our crew, and he’s particular about two things: showing up when promised and standing behind the work in writing. We carry full licensing and insurance, our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day. Homeowners in Bellaire and along Pipeline Road call us because they want the job done once. That’s what we deliver, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise puts it on paper.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hurst
Gate Repair
A sagging gate, a latch that won’t catch, a hinge that screams every time the wind blows: these are the calls we make most often in Hurst. We replace hinges, rehang gates, repair or rebuild latches, and straighten frames that the clay has torqued out of square. Most repairs are done the same day we show up.

Gate Installation
New gates in Hurst need proper post footings, and that means going deeper than the original builders did decades ago. We install swing gates and estate gates with concrete work sized to resist clay heave, so the gate stays true through wet springs and dry summers. We measure, quote, and schedule every installation with a written price up front.

Gate Motor & Opener
If your gate opener hums but won’t move, or moves halfway and stops, we can usually trace it to a limit switch, a capacitor, or a board issue. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule openers. The right diagnosis on the first visit saves you the cost of a second trip.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, loop detectors, and remote receivers all wear out, and Hurst’s summer heat accelerates the process on exposed components. We troubleshoot and replace access control equipment so your gate opens when you want it to and stays closed when you don’t. Wiring, programming, and testing are included in the quote.

Gate Parts & Welding
Iron gates in Hurst live outdoors in triple-digit heat and winter ice, and over the years the metal fatigues. We weld cracked frames, replace broken pickets, and fabricate parts when a manufacturer no longer carries them. A welded repair, done properly, often outlasts a replacement part.

Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hurst’s postwar subdivisions went up fast, and the builders of that era often set gate posts in shallow concrete or no concrete at all. On Tarrant County’s expansive black-clay soil, that was always going to be a problem. The clay swells when it rains and contracts hard during summer drought, and every wet-dry cycle moves those posts a little further out of plumb. Technicians working the older streets near the Trinity River floodplain corridors learn this quickly: a gate that’s dragging is usually a post problem before it’s a hinge problem.
Add North Texas heat that warps wood gates and oxidizes iron hardware, plus occasional winter ice storms that shock-load latches and hinges, and you have a repair market that doesn’t look much like the sandier suburbs to the north. A gate re-hung without re-plumbing and re-footing the post will be dragging again within one rain season. Our crews plan for that reality on every Hurst job.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hurst
Most common gate repairs in Hurst run between $180 and $340, including hinge replacement and latch work. Post re-setting costs more because it involves digging, re-plumbing, and new concrete. We quote a written price before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call (817) 242-5426 for a free estimate on your specific gate.
In most cases, yes. Emergency repair calls placed by mid-afternoon are typically handled the same day, and our repair van carries common hinges, latches, and opener parts so the fix happens in one visit. If a part is unusual, we order it and schedule the return trip before we leave your driveway.
In Hurst, the usual cause is the clay soil moving the gate post, not the hardware failing again. If a previous repair only addressed the hinge or the frame and left the post out of plumb, the gate will start dragging again after the next wet season. We re-plumb and re-foot the post when that’s what the soil demands, which is the only repair that lasts in this market.
We service nine major gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your opener is one of these, we can diagnose and repair it on the first visit in nearly all cases. Tell us the brand and model when you call, and we’ll bring the right parts.

It’s the same written guarantee Victor Salinas has applied to every job since he started running the crew, and it applies to every gate repair in Hurst.
