AfterFast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Irving
Gate repair in Irving usually comes down to one of three things: an operator that gave out after 25 years in the Texas heat, a swing leaf that the black clay soil has pulled out of plumb, or a hinge post that has been quietly failing since the last big rain. At Ironworks Gate Co., we fix all three, and we do it with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If you live in Irving and your gate is sagging, grinding, or stuck half open, call (817) 242-5426. A live person answers, day or night.
We have been working on Irving’s gates long enough to know which neighborhoods fight which problems. Las Colinas has its own set of gate headaches, and so do the postwar streets of North Irving. That local knowledge means we bring the right parts and the right fix on the first trip. If you are in 75014, 75015, or 75016 and your gate is misbehaving, we will be there when we say.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Irving’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Most Irving homeowners call us after another repair has let them down. They tell us about a handyman who adjusted the hinges and left, and the gate sagged again by the next spring. Or a technician who replaced a circuit board without asking what HOA standards applied, and the architectural committee sent them back to square one. We hear it often enough that we built our service around not being that company.
Victor Salinas leads our team, and the standard he set from day one is simple: do the work right, stand behind it in writing, and treat every home like it belongs to family. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They arrive with the parts for the job, not a list of excuses. And because we stock components for LiftMaster, Linear, FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, Elite, Ghost Controls, Viking, and Mighty Mule, an Irving homeowner with a 1994 Linear slide operator is not waiting a week for a board to ship.
When you call Ironworks, a live person picks up, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback queue. That matters at 7:30 on a Monday morning when your gate will not open and your car is trapped in the driveway. Our Irving response is measured in hours, not days, for repair calls. We quote the price before a single bolt is turned, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Done right, and backed in writing.
Our Gate Repair Services in Irving
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gate problems in Irving rarely announce themselves. Usually it is a slow creep: the gate hesitates, then shudders, then one morning it just will not move. In Las Colinas especially, we see operator failure on gates where the original electrics were installed in the 1980s and have been asked to do more every year since. We diagnose the issue with the gate in front of us, explain the fix in plain English, and quote the price before we begin.
Automatic Gate Repair
An automatic gate is two systems: the physical gate and the operator that drives it. Most Irving failures are the operator, not the gate itself. Motors burn out. Gears strip. Circuit boards cook in the west-facing afternoon sun. The good news is that a failed operator on an Irving property rarely means replacing the whole gate. We service operator brands including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite, and we carry the parts to fix most failures in a single visit.
Hinge & Post Repair
North Texas black clay soil expands in spring and contracts in summer. That movement shifts gate posts seasonally, and the stress lands on the hinges and the post footing. In Irving, a swing gate that closes perfectly in June can be dragging across the driveway by March. We repair and reinforce hinge posts, replace worn hinge barrels and pins, and reset posts with proper concrete footings so the next rain does not undo the work.
Gate Realignment
Most Irving gate realignments are not a one-time fix; they are an annual maintenance item, the same way you service an air conditioner before summer. We level and plumb the leaf, adjust the operator limits, and check that the photo-eyes and safety edges still function. If a gate needs realignment more than once a year, we look for what the soil is doing underneath it and fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We are trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands, which means the fix we make is the correct one the first time, whatever is on the driveway. In Irving, the most common brands we see on Las Colinas estate gates are LiftMaster and Linear, and on newer retrofit installations we see a lot of Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule units. DoorKing and Elite also show up regularly on the commercial side of Las Colinas. Because we stock parts for all of these brands locally, an Irving repair usually goes from diagnosis to done in a single visit. We do not have to order a board and come back next Tuesday.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Irving Homes
- End-of-life operators from the Las Colinas build-out. Many of the operators installed on Las Colinas gates between roughly 1985 and 2000 are 25 to 45 years old now. They were good units for their time, but the motors and circuit boards are at the end of their service life, and they are failing in clusters. We replace them with modern, appropriately sized operators and run the wiring the new unit actually needs.
- Builder-grade operators asked to do too much. A lot of newer Irving developments, particularly townhome and patio-home communities around the 75014 and 75016 ZIP codes, came with entry gates and operator systems that were sized for the price sheet, not the daily cycle count. An ornamental iron gate is heavy. A light-duty operator running it 40 times a day is going to eat gears. We size the replacement to the gate, not to the old operator’s spec plate.
- Clay soil movement pulling gates out of alignment. Every spring, after the rains, Irving phones light up with the same call: my gate is dragging, my gate will not close, my gate is crooked. The black clay swells, the post shifts, and the leaf is suddenly closing against the driveway instead of above it. Realignment fixes the immediate problem; proper post reinforcement keeps it from returning in six months.
- Photo-eye failures in full summer sun. Irving summer heat regularly pushes above 100 degrees, and photo-eye lenses mounted on south- or west-facing pilasters cloud over from the sun and dust. The operator thinks something is in the path and refuses to close. It is a simple fix when the photo-eyes are cleaned or replaced, but it is a recurring failure on unshaded gates across Irving all summer long.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Irving, TX
Here is what gate repair in Irving typically costs. A gate realignment runs $180 to $320. A hinge replacement with post reinforcement runs $250 to $550, depending on how much of the post footing needs to be rebuilt. An electric gate repair such as a limit switch, photo-eye replacement, or minor board issue runs $200 to $450. A full operator replacement runs $1,100 to $2,800 depending on the operator brand and the condition of the existing wiring. A welded crack or rust repair starts at $180 and can go up from there if the rust has gotten into the structural frame.
Some Irving gates need conduit work, especially the manual gates that got automation installed as an afterthought with surface wiring. That adds to the job, and we will talk through it with you before any work happens. Every quote is written, agreed to, and settled before we turn a single bolt. And right now, we are offering $50 off any repair over $250. A square deal, no surprises on the bill.

FAQs - Gate Repair in Irving
Most likely because the original operator was installed during the 1980s or 1990s build-out of Las Colinas and is now 25 to 45 years old. Those LiftMaster, Linear, and HySecurity units were dependable in their day, but they are hitting end-of-life in clusters across 75014 and 75015. If your operator was replaced recently and failed again quickly, the replacement was probably undersized for the gate or wired onto old single-phase conduit that cannot support it. Call (817) 242-5426 and we will diagnose it.
Yes, in most cases. An ornamental iron swing gate in good structural shape can be automated with a properly sized operator and the correct hinge reinforcement. The deciding factor is usually power: whether there is a dedicated conduit run from the house to the gate. Many Irving retrofits left out that conduit, and we end up running new single-phase power so the installation does not rely on surface wiring. We quote the full job, including the power run, before we start.
In most Las Colinas HOA communities, yes. Architectural control committee standards often specify black powder-coat finish, approved operator brands, and masonry pilaster repair methods. Homeowners who replace an operator without ACC approval can be asked to undo the work. We are familiar with those documentation requirements and often coordinate directly with the HOA on the homeowner’s behalf so the job passes the first time.
Most Irving gates need a realignment check once a year, right after the spring rains. The black clay soil in North Texas swells in spring and contracts in summer, and that cycle slowly moves the hinge posts. A gate that is level in June can be dragging by March of the following year. Annual realignment is the cheapest way to prevent a full hinge and post failure. We also offer an $89 seasonal tune-up that includes alignment, lubrication, and operator adjustments for Irving homeowners.
Often yes. Irving summers routinely exceed 100 degrees, and photo-eye lenses mounted on south- or west-facing pilasters cloud over from sun exposure and dust. The operator reads the clouded lens as an obstruction and refuses to close. The fix is usually a quick photo-eye cleaning or replacement, but if the lens keeps clouding, we may recommend relocating the eyes to a shaded position or installing a different housing. Call us for an Irving service visit, and we will get it closing again.
