AfterTrusted Gate Repair for Keller Homeowners
A gate that won’t open, sags on its hinges, or grinds halfway and stops is more than a nuisance. It’s a security gap and a daily frustration. Ironworks Gate Co. has provided Gate Repair in Keller for over 42 years, and we still treat every call like it’s our own gate. Whether it’s a dead motor, a broken hinge, or a gate that’s drifted out of alignment after years of Texas wind and clay soil movement, we show up when we say we will, diagnose the problem honestly, and fix it right the first time. Most Keller gate repairs are completed in a single visit. Call (254) 330-8718 and a live person answers, day or night.
We’re led by Victor Salinas, and our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained the way a craft company should be. No subcontractors, no answering service, no surprises on the bill.
What Our Gate Repair Service Includes
Gate repair covers a lot of ground, from the steel post set in concrete to the circuit board inside the operator box. Here’s what we handle for Keller homeowners, broken down by the specific work involved.
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gates fail in predictable ways: a control board shorts, a capacitor burns out, or a limit switch stops reading. When your gate still has power but won’t respond to the remote or keypad, that’s an electric gate repair call. We test voltage at the board, at the motor, and at the accessory loop before replacing anything, because an honest diagnosis saves you money. Then we fix what’s actually wrong, not what’s convenient to replace.
Automatic Gate Repair
An automatic gate that opens when it shouldn’t, reverses mid-cycle, or stops three feet short of the post is dangerous as well as unreliable. Automatic gate repair means checking the safety sensors, the track or arm travel, and the motor’s torque settings together, because those components work as one system. We don’t just reset the breaker and call it done. We find the fault, correct it, and cycle the gate until it closes square and smooth.
Hinge & Post Repair
In Keller’s expansive clay soil, gate posts shift over time. A gate that once swung clean starts scraping the ground or binding against the latch. We cut out failed welds, pull posts back to plumb, and re-anchor or sleeve them so the gate hangs true again. If a hinge pin is egged out or a weld has cracked through, we repair or replace that hardware rather than letting the gate chew itself up.
Gate Realignment
Gates sag. It’s physics: steel flexes, posts drift, and hinges wear. A misaligned gate is hard to open, hard to close, and puts strain on the operator every single cycle. We reset the gate in its frame, adjust the hinges, and re-balance the swing so the motor isn’t fighting the weight. A properly aligned gate closes like the day it was hung, even if it was hung twenty years ago.
Lock Repair
A gate lock that won’t throw, a keypad that won’t take the code, or a maglock that buzzes but won’t hold: each one frustrates a different way. We repair mechanical locks, replace keypad controllers, and rework strike plates so the gate actually locks and stays locked. For automated gates, we integrate the lock with the operator so the sequence works in the right order every time.
Weld & Rust Repair
North Texas humidity and occasional ice storms take a toll on powder coat and bare steel alike. We grind out rust, weld in new steel where sections have thinned, and treat the repair so it doesn’t bloom again in a season. A well-executed weld repair, done by a shop that actually welds, extends the life of a Keller gate by years rather than months.

Brands We Service for Gate Repair
We’re certified to service nine major gate-automation brands, and we stock OEM parts for the ones we see most often in Keller driveways. FAAC operators are common on heavier estate gates, and we’re familiar with their hydraulic and electromechanical models alike. If a FAAC unit is leaking fluid or blowing a thermal fuse, we know where to look first. BFT systems, often paired with solar panels on remote or corner-lot gates, show up regularly in our service calls. We test their battery draw and charging circuit as a matter of course, because a BFT that works fine at noon and dies at midnight usually has a charging problem, not a motor problem.
Linear and Viking both build solid swing and slide gate operators that respond well to proper setup. On Linear units, a misadjusted limit switch is the most common fault we correct. On Viking units, it’s often a worn drive chain or a slipping clutch. Whatever the brand, our rule is the same: diagnose before we quote, and fix it right the first time. If your gate runs on something we haven’t named here, call anyway. After 42 years, there’s very little we haven’t had apart on a driveway.
Signs You Need Gate Repair Right Now
- Your gate hesitates or reverses mid-cycle. This typically points to a failing safety sensor, a binding hinge, or a motor that’s losing torque. Left alone, it can burn out a board or drop a gate on a car, or worse, a person.
- You have to press the remote two or three times to get a response. That’s not a dead battery if you’ve already swapped it. It’s usually a failing receiver, a corroded antenna connection, or a board on its way out. Catching it early means a cheaper fix.
- The gate screeches, grinds, or shudders when it moves. Metal-on-metal noise means something is loose, dry, or broken. Whether it’s a bearing, a wheel, or a hinge pin, the longer it runs that way, the more parts it takes with it.
- Your gate sags visibly and scrapes the driveway. Scraping wears the gate, the operator, and the track. It also tells you the structural side of the gate is failing, not just the electronics. A realignment now beats a full gate replacement later.
- The gate won’t stay closed or won’t latch. A gate that drifts open is a security failure, plain and simple. It’s also a sign of a broken internal stop, a failed lock, or an operator that isn’t holding position. Any of those is fixable, and none of them will fix themselves.
Our Gate Repair Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call and a person answers. No phone tree, no call center reading a script. You’ll describe the problem to a dispatcher who understands gates and can schedule a technician for the next available slot. Keller calls are typically on the schedule within a day or two for non-emergency work.
- 2
We show up and diagnose before we quote. Your technician inspects the gate, the operator, the hinges, the electrical run, and the safety sensors. We use a multimeter on the board, check torque and limit settings, and put hands on the hardware before we tell you a dollar figure.
- 3
You approve the price before any work starts. The quote is the quote. We settle the number with you upfront, before a single bolt is turned. No surprise add-ons, no “while we’re in there” upsells. A square deal, written down.
- 4
We make the repair, most often in one visit. Our trucks carry common OEM parts, welding gear, and the diagnostic tools needed for the nine brands we service. That means fewer “we’ll order it and come back” situations and more same-day fixes.
- 5
We test the gate through full cycles and walk you through the work. Before we leave, we run the gate open and closed multiple times, check the safety reversal, and confirm the lock or keypad works as it should. Then we explain what was wrong, what we did, and what you can expect going forward. Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Keller?
Gate repair pricing in Keller depends on what failed and how far it failed. Here’s what we see in this market, based on several thousand service calls across northeast Tarrant County.
- Hinge or post realignment: $180-$450, depending on how far the post has drifted and whether it needs re-setting in concrete.
- Electric board or capacitor replacement: $220-$500, varying by brand and board availability. FAAC and BFT boards tend toward the upper end.
- Weld or rust repair: $150-$600, depending on how much steel needs to be cut out and replaced.
- Operator motor replacement: $400-$1,100, depending on brand, horsepower, and whether it’s a slide or swing application.
- Full gate realignment with hinge rebuild: $350-$800 for a typical residential double swing gate.
What moves the price: the weight and length of the gate, the condition of the post bases, the age of the operator, and whether the repair requires welding or concrete work.

If it’s attached to your gate or makes it move, we repair it.

Yes. We carry OEM parts for both and our technicians are trained on Viking and Linear systems specifically. We see Viking slide gate operators frequently in Keller’s acreage neighborhoods, and we troubleshoot them for clutch wear and chain tension first. Linear openers, common on residential swing gates, often need limit switch recalibration, which we handle the same day.
