This page is for Keller homeowners who own an Elite gate and need the metalwork and hardware side of it repaired correctly. Not the motor side, not the keypad side. Hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latches, and the welding that holds it all together. As an independent Elite service provider, we work on what’s physically failing on your gate, and we’ve been doing that work in Keller for over 42 years.

How Elite Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Elite builds a solid gate, but every gate lives outside in Texas weather, and time gets to all of them. Here are the failures we see most often on Elite gates in Keller:

• Sagging gates on Elite SL3000 and SL5000 slide models. These are heavy gates, and the roller trucks underneath them take the full load every day. When a roller bearing seizes or the truck carriage rusts out, the gate drops half an inch and starts dragging on the rail. We replace the roller trucks and realign the rail, and the gate glides again.
• Cracked welds at the hinge mounting plates on Estate and Titan series swing gates. The hinge plate is welded to the post, and over years of wind load and open-close cycles, that weld fatigues. We grind out the old weld, re-weld with proper penetration, and add gusset support where the design allows it. A re-welded hinge should outlast the original if it’s done right.
• Pulled gate posts on Elite swing systems in Keller’s expansive clay soil. This is a Keller reality, not an Elite defect. Our soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and over a decade that movement works a post loose no matter how well it was set. We dig out the old concrete, set the post deeper with a wider footing, and weld the hinge back at the correct angle.
• Worn latch receivers on the CL3000 and Premier series. The latch strike plate takes a beating every time the gate closes, especially if the wind grabs it. When the strike plate wallows out, the gate won’t stay closed even though the operator is working fine. We weld in a new, harder strike plate or rebuild the receiver so the latch catches solid.
• Broken picket welds and rust-through on older ornamental Elite gates. Those thin picket-to-rail welds are the first thing to go on a 15-year-old gate. We cut out the rusted section, weld in new matching pickets, and treat the repair so it doesn’t rust out again next year.

Victor Salinas will tell you what he tells every Keller customer: “Tell me what it is doing and what it is not doing - that is usually all I need to get started.” Half the time, a homeowner’s description of a sag or a rattle points us right to the failing part before we ever open the toolbox.

Our Elite Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s how a typical Elite parts and welding job goes from your first call to the finished repair:

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. Not a recording. You describe the problem, and we ask a few questions about what the gate is doing and what it’s not doing.
2. 2
   We schedule the visit. Most Keller calls get on the schedule within a day or two. We tell you when we’ll be there, and we show up when we say.
3. 3
   We diagnose on site. The technician inspects the hinges, posts, rollers, rails, and latches. We find the root cause, not just the symptom. That sagging gate might be a hinge, or it might be a post that’s moved. Fixing the wrong one wastes your money.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We use Elite OEM parts when the fit and finish matter most, like hinge barrels and latch mechanisms. For wear items like rollers and bushings, we’ll often recommend a quality aftermarket part that matches or exceeds the original at a better price. We tell you the difference before we order anything.
5. 5
   The repair. Welding, cutting, grinding, replacing. We protect surrounding surfaces, and we clean up when we’re done. The work area looks like we were never there, except your gate works again.
6. 6
   Test and guarantee. We cycle the gate manually and with the operator, check the latch, check the alignment, and make sure nothing binds. Then we write you the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no paperwork.

What Elite Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Keller
