AfterTrusted Gate Parts & Welding for Colleyville Homeowners
Best Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville, TX is the difference between a gate that swings true for another fifteen years and one that starts sagging by spring. We replace worn hinges, weld cracked rails, reset leaning posts, and rebuild what the Texas heat and rain have worked loose since the gate was first hung. Ironworks Gate Co. has done this work for over 42 years, and Victor Salinas leads a crew of background-checked, uniformed technicians who treat your gate the way they’d treat their own mother’s. If your gate drags, rattles, or won’t latch, call (817) 242-5426. A live person answers, day or night.
What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
Every gate eventually needs parts replaced or steel repaired. The question is whether it gets done right the first time. Here’s what we handle under our Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville, and what each one looks like on your property.
Hinge Replacement
Hinges carry the full weight of the gate every time it opens, and they’re the first thing to fail on a gate that’s been swinging for twenty years. You’ll notice the gate scraping the ground on one side, or pulling away from the post at the top. We replace worn or seized hinges with heavier-duty options where the old ones were undersized, and we align the gate so the load spreads evenly across both hinges. Most hinge replacements in Colleyville are done in one visit.
Post Replacement
A leaning gate post means the foundation below it has shifted or the post itself has rotted or rusted through. In Colleyville’s clay heavy soil, posts heave with the freeze-thaw cycle and slowly tip out of plumb. We dig out the old post, set a new one in concrete to the correct depth, and brace it true before the gate goes back on. Done properly, a replacement post is the last one you’ll think about.
Rail Repair
The top and bottom rails are the skeleton of your gate, and cracks in the rail let the whole frame flex until something snaps. We see this constantly on older wrought-iron gates where years of wind load have fatigued the steel. We grind out the crack, weld it with proper penetration, and add a reinforcement plate where the original design was too thin. The repair gets primed and painted to match, so you won’t see where the work was done.
Custom Welding
Not every fix comes off a parts shelf. Sometimes a gate was built for a different opening, or a section was damaged by a vehicle, or a homeowner wants a design change that strengthens rather than weakens the gate. Our shop in Colleyville handles custom welding on iron, steel, and aluminum, from reinforcing a sagging frame to fabricating a replacement section that matches the original scrollwork. We measure on-site, weld in-shop where the conditions are controlled, and install once the piece is ready.
Gate Rollers
Sliding gates ride on rollers, and when a roller flattens or seizes, the gate grinds and shudders instead of gliding. You’ll hear it before you see it. We replace gate rollers and the track they ride on, setting the clearance so the gate runs quietly and stays level through the full travel. We stock common roller sizes and order OEM for the rest.
Latch & Lock
A gate that won’t latch is a gate that won’t stay closed, and in Colleyville that’s a real problem when the wind picks up. We replace worn latches, rebuild striker plates, and integrate mechanical locks with automation so the gate locks when it closes and unlocks when it opens. Every latch we install is adjusted by hand before we leave, not just bolted on and called good.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
Most of the parts and welding work we do in Colleyville is on gates that already have automation attached, which means we’re working around motors, arms, and sensors while we weld and replace. We’re trained and equipped on nine major gate-automation brands, so the repair doesn’t stop at the metal. If you have a Ghost Controls or Mighty Mule opener on your gate, we know how its arm mounts, how it reacts to a gate that’s out of alignment, and what to adjust so the motor isn’t fighting the new hinges.
We’ve serviced hundreds of DoorKing and Elite units across the Mid-Cities and into Bedford Gate Parts & Welding territory, and we keep their OEM hinge bolts, rollers, and latch hardware in stock. Whether your gate runs on Ghost Controls, Mighty Mule, DoorKing, Elite, or any other make, the person who answers the phone knows what we’re walking into. That’s the point of being a gate specialist rather than a generalist.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
Nobody plans to call a gate welder on a Tuesday. Usually, one of these shows up first. Any one of them is worth a phone call before the damage compounds.
- The gate scrapes the ground or drags on one side. This usually means a hinge has worn or a post has started leaning. Every opening grinds the metal further, and eventually the gate won’t close at all. It’s a slower, quieter failure than it looks.
- You can see a crack in the rail or a broken weld. Steel cracks grow. What starts as a hairline opens into a full split under the gate’s own weight. A weld repair today costs less than a replacement section next season.
- The latch doesn’t catch or the gate swings loose. Wind in Colleyville will throw an unlatched gate hard enough to bend its own frame. The latch itself is a small fix. Let it go and the gate, the post, and sometimes the opener motor all pay for it.
- The gate shudders, grinds, or shrieks when it moves. That’s metal on metal where it shouldn’t be. Rollers, hinges, and slide tracks make noise before they fail, and the fix now is always cheaper than the fix after seizure.
- A post is leaning or the ground around it has cracked. Post movement is a foundation problem, and it only gets worse. In Colleyville’s expansive clay soil, a leaning post will keep moving until it’s reset properly.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Process - Step by Step
We’ve done this long enough to know that the work itself is half the job. The other half is knowing what’s actually wrong before we touch anything. Here’s how it goes.
- 1
Diagnosis and written quote. We come out, look at the gate the way a welder looks at it: load path, hinge wear, post plumb, weld condition. We tell you what’s necessary, what’s optional, and what can wait. The price is agreed in writing before a single bolt is turned.
- 2
Safe removal and support. Gates are heavy. That’s the first thing. We brace the gate so it can’t shift or fall while we’re working, whether that means a jack stand under the rail or a come-along holding the post true.
- 3
Parts replacement and welding. We replace hinges, rollers, and latch hardware with sizes matched to the gate’s actual weight and use, not whatever was cheapest at the hardware store. Welds are ground, cleaned, and primed before paint.
- 4
Alignment and adjustment. This is the step that separates a handyman from a gate company. We set the plumb, level, and clearance so the gate closes square, latches fully, and doesn’t lean into the opener motor.
- 5
Testing and cleanup. We cycle the gate through open and close, check the latch, check the automation if there’s one attached, and walk you through what was done. The work area is left the way we found it, minus the broken parts.
How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Colleyville?
A typical hinge replacement on a Colleyville driveway gate runs $180 to $340 depending on the hinge size and the gate’s weight. Post replacement is the bigger job, usually $400 to $800 when you factor in digging, concrete, and resetting the gate. Weld repairs run $150 to $400 for a single crack or broken joint, and custom welding work is quoted per job based on the steel and the hours. Gate roller replacement lands in the $95 to $250 range, and a latch or lock replacement is $120 to $300.
What moves the price is the gate’s size, the condition of the surrounding structure, and whether automation needs to be removed and reinstalled to do the work safely. You avoid overpaying by getting a written quote that names the parts and the labor, not a vague “gate service” line. Our estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice. We don’t discover new costs halfway through and send you a bigger bill.

Frequently Asked Questions - Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville
Gate parts and welding covers the structural and mechanical components of your gate: hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latches, and the welded steel that holds it all together. It’s the work that keeps a gate swinging true, latching firmly, and supporting its own weight year after year. Ironworks Gate Co. has performed this work in Colleyville for over 42 years.
Most hinge, roller, and latch replacements are completed in a single visit of two to four hours. Post replacement takes longer because concrete needs to cure before the gate is rehung, typically one full day plus a return visit for final adjustment. Custom welding may take a few days depending on the fabrication involved.
Hinge replacement runs $180 to $340, post replacement $400 to $800, weld repair $150 to $400, roller replacement $95 to $250, and latch or lock replacement $120 to $300. The final number depends on gate size, structural condition, and whether automation is involved. Call (817) 242-5426 for a free written estimate with a price we’ll stand behind.
Yes. We’re trained and equipped on Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule, along with seven other major opener brands. When we replace hinges or weld a rail on a gate with automation, we know how the opener’s arm and sensors react to the metal being moved and realigned. The repair holds together because the welder and the opener tech are the same crew.
