AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Keller
Gate parts and welding in Keller means dealing with two things most other DFW suburbs don’t face the same way: heavy ornamental iron gates on large lots, and Blackland Prairie clay that won’t hold a post still. When a gate sags, scrapes, or stops closing square, the fix usually isn’t a new gate. It’s a hinge, a post footing, or a weld done on-site in your driveway. Our Gate Parts & Welding crew serves Keller with on-site welding and a repair-first approach, and you can reach a live person at (903) 829-4499 any hour.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Keller’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his name is on the shop and on every invoice. That’s the kind of accountability that matters in Keller, where homeowners know their neighbors and remember who did sloppy work. We don’t haul your gate off to some warehouse. We weld it where it hangs, reset the post in your yard, and stand behind the job with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround.
Keller homeowners call us because calls get answered by a live person around the clock, not a voicemail or a call center three states away. We’re coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our Keller crew knows the neighborhoods: Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, the equestrian lots off Mt. Gilead Road, and the older sections near Bear Creek Park. We know which HOAs require specific iron finishes and which gates have been fighting clay soil for two decades.
Every technician who shows up in Keller is background-checked and in uniform. And before any work starts, you get a written price. The number we quote is the number you pay. No trip charge inside the county, $40 off any repair over $200, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Keller
Hinge Replacement
Most ornamental iron gates in Keller don’t fail in the middle. They fail at the hinge post, because the clay under the footing swells and shrinks until the post leans and the hinge barrel tears loose. We replace hinge barrels, weld new hinge plates, and shim or reset the post so the gate swings level again. We also carry heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges sized for the big estate gates common in Hidden Lakes and other Keller subdivisions.
Post Replacement
A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start. When a post has heaved beyond saving, we dig it out, pour a deeper footing, and set a new post that can handle Keller’s wet-dry soil cycles. We’ve replaced posts on everything from four-foot pedestrian gates to 16-foot ornamental swing gates on quarter-acre lots. The goal is a post that stays plumb through the next ten rainy seasons, not just until the next hard freeze.
Rail Repair
Rails crack where welds were thin or where ice got into a seam and started rust from the inside. We weld rail fractures on-site, grind the repair smooth, and match the finish so your HOA doesn’t flag it. In Keller, where deed restrictions often specify exact iron finishes, matching matters. We’ve done rail repairs on gates fronting Mt. Gilead Road and in subdivisions off Keller Parkway where the finish has to blend with the original ironwork.
Custom Welding
When a section of scrollwork breaks off, or a latch mount tears loose, or you want an operator bracket welded onto a hand-built gate, we do it in your driveway. We TIG and MIG weld ornamental iron, and we’re set up to match powder coat and paint finishes so the repair disappears into the original design. For Keller homeowners with custom iron from the 1990s and 2000s build-out, that finish matching is often the difference between a repair that looks like a patch and one that looks like it was always there.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
We’re certified to service nine major gate brands, and Keller gates run heavily on Viking, Linear, and BFT openers. A Viking swing gate that’s sagging will burn out its motor faster, so we check the operator whenever we do a hinge or post repair. We stock common repair parts for these brands so Keller customers aren’t waiting on a shipped component. If a gearbox seizes during an ice storm, we can usually get the part and be back out the next day.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Clay heave throws hinge posts out of plumb. Keller sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay. Every wet-dry cycle pushes posts around, and gates start scraping or failing to close. Neighbors in sandier-soil cities like Southlake or Colleyville deal with this far less.
- Ice storms crack weld joints on custom iron. Keller catches the DFW ice-storm belt. Water gets into a hairline seam, freezes, and opens a rust path. We grind out the crack, weld it solid, and seal the joint before it spreads.
- Operator gearboxes seize during hard freezes. A Viking or Linear gearbox can lock up mid-travel in a freeze, leaving the gate stuck open or shut. We carry replacement parts and can usually have it running the same day.
- Slide gates jump track on shifted rails. When the clay moves a rail support even half an inch, a rack and pinion slide gate can jump teeth. We realign the rail, weld support brackets back solid, and reset the operator.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Keller, TX
A hinge replacement on an ornamental iron gate in Keller typically runs $180 to $420 depending on hinge size and whether the post needs shimming. Post replacement runs $450 to $1,200 when we’re digging out the old footing and pouring a deeper one. Rail repair and custom welding jobs normally fall between $150 and $600 depending on the size of the weld and finish matching. If you’re replacing a Viking or BFT operator alongside a hinge repair, budget $700 to $1,500 for the operator and install. Every price is quoted and agreed before we touch the gate, and that number doesn’t change at the door. Call (903) 829-4499 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Keller
Keller’s Blackland Prairie clay expands when it gets wet and contracts when it dries, and that movement heaves the concrete footings under your hinge posts. Each wet-dry cycle pushes the post a little further out of plumb until the gate scrapes or won’t latch. The fix is resetting the post in a deeper footing with proper drainage, not just tightening the hinges. Call (903) 829-4499 and we’ll look at it.
Yes, we match powder coat and paint finishes so the repair blends with the original ironwork. Many Keller HOAs require specific finishes on ornamental gates, and a mismatched patch can get you a letter. We weld, grind, and finish the repair so it disappears into the design.
No. Most sagging gates have a post or hinge problem, not a panel problem. We reset the hinge post, replace the hinge barrels, and re-align the operator. You only buy a new panel if the frame itself is rusted through or twisted beyond welding.
Usually it’s the clay shifting the rail supports, throwing the rack out of line with the pinion gear. A half-inch of movement is enough to make it jump. We realign and reweld the rail supports, then test the operator under load.
Yes. When we’re already welding on an older gate, we can add safety photocells and safety edges so the gate stops and reverses if anything is in the path. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the whole job, and estimates are free.
