Why Keller Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Gate systems in Keller are not like gate systems in a brand new development. They’re 15 to 25 years old, often original to homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s, and they’re tired. Our technicians see the same issues again and again: failed operators on LiftMaster and Elite units, rusted hinge pins, sagging frames on double-swing entry gates. In neighborhoods like Shinbone Ridge and Bear Creek Estates, HOA deed restrictions almost always require ornamental iron, which means homeowners can’t simply swap in a lighter aluminum panel and call it a day. They need someone who understands iron, welds, motors, and the limitations of the original installation. Victor Salinas has built this company around that exact overlap. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians work under a code we call K.E.Y.S.: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Every job ends with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Keller
Gate Repair
Most repairs in Keller fall into predictable patterns: a gate that won’t close fully, a grinding noise from the operator, a sagging leaf on a double-swing. We fix the mechanical problem the first time. We don’t patch and pray. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Keller.
Gate Installation
A new gate in Keller should suit the home’s scale and the driveway’s width. Whether it’s a single swing on a side drive or a grand double-swing entry off a major thoroughfare, we measure, quote a written price, and install it plumb and square. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Keller.
Gate Motor & Opener
The early-2000s operators on many Keller estate homes are hitting their 20-year wall together. If your opener hums but won’t move the gate, the issue may be the motor, the control board, or the anchor bolts on a clay-heaved pedestal. We service and replace all of it. Find details on our Gate Motor & Opener in Keller page.
Gate Access Control
Keypads fail, intercoms drop offline, remotes get lost. We install and service access control systems matched to your gate’s operator, not a one-size-fits-none aftermarket kit. Ask about our current offers: $50 off any repair over $250, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 5% senior and veteran discount.
Gate Parts & Welding
Ornamental iron gates in Keller take a beating from North Texas hail and seasonal ground movement. Broken pickets, cracked weld joints, and hinge pins worn to a knife edge are all repairable. Our welding work is done in place whenever possible to avoid disturbing the gate’s alignment.

Why Keller’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Keller sits on Tarrant County’s Blackland Prairie clay. This soil expands when wet and contracts in drought, and it does not do so evenly. The result is gate posts that heave out of plumb, throwing a perfectly good automatic operator out of alignment. Every drought year, we see a fresh spike in service calls from homeowners who can hear the gate laboring or see the gap at the latch changing. Then there’s the housing age curve. Keller’s explosive growth in the late 1990s and 2000s produced thousands of executive-style brick homes with long driveways and ornamental iron gates installed as original construction. Those gates are now 15 to 25 years old all at once, a city-wide wave of operator failures and rusted hinge pins that’s different from the staggered aging you’d see in neighboring Southlake or Roanoke. What a technician often finds is that the original LiftMaster or Elite operator pedestal has cracked anchor bolts from years of clay movement. That means a simple motor swap almost always involves re-plumbing and re-anchoring the post before the new opener can be set correctly. Skip that step and the new motor grinds itself into early failure.
Spring hail in the Keller-Southlake corridor is another recurring factor. Dented and warped iron gate panels are common enough that we keep extra pickets and touch-up materials on our trucks. The good news is that iron gates are repairable. A bent frame can often be straightened and re-welded for far less than a full replacement.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Keller
Honest numbers matter. Most gate repairs in Keller fall between $165 and $385 when the problem is a hinge, a keypad, a control board, or a sensor. Full operator replacement runs higher, typically $850 to $2,400, depending on the operator brand and the condition of the existing post and arm. If the post has heaved off plum, remediation adds to the job because the concrete anchor has to be reset before the new motor can be mounted. Every job gets an upfront written price, agreed before we touch a bolt. No surprises on the bill. We also offer a $89 seasonal tune-up for homeowners who’d rather catch these problems before the gate stops opening entirely.

Expect us to check the post anchors first. In Keller, clay soil heaves posts out of plumb, and a dead operator often means the pedestal anchor bolts are cracked. We’ll re-plumb and re-anchor the post as needed before mounting the new operator. That’s the difference between a five-year fix and a fifteen-year fix.

What Keller Customers Say
"The gate works properly now and the price was fair. It did take two visits, because the operator we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They did not charge for the second trip."
- Carrie Mercer"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one on the truck, and we were moving cars again inside an hour."
- Chris Gallagher"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Jamal Dawson
