AfterGate Repair Services in Bedford, TX
If your gate won’t close, sags in the middle, or groans every time the opener kicks in, you’re not dealing with a small annoyance. You’re dealing with a security gap that anyone driving down your street can see. In Bedford, most of the homes were built between the mid-1970s and early 1990s, which means a huge share of the original cedar privacy gates are now 30 to 50 years old and failing at the same time. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and he’ll tell you straight: most Bedford gate problems start at the post, not the panel. Call (903) 829-4499 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

Why Bedford Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
There’s a real difference between a company that sends a truck and a company whose owner’s name is on the invoice. Hal Gatewood still answers his own phone and will drive out to look at your gate himself. He lives in the Metroplex, keeps a published address, and has been at this since 2001. If the job isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings him back. No runaround, no dispatch queue, no voicemail. And unlike the national outfits that quote one price on the phone and charge another at your door, every Gatewood job gets an upfront price agreed on before any work starts.
Bedford homeowners around the Shady Creek Estates and Tanglewood areas call us for the same reason their neighbors do: because the person who shows up is the person whose name is on the shop. Hal’s crew is background-checked and uniformed. They service nine major brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, and Elite. And they weld on site, which means your gate never leaves your driveway unless it genuinely can’t be saved.

Gate Repair Services We Offer in Bedford
Gate Repair
Most Bedford gate failures trace back to the post or the hinges, not the latch or the motor. We re-plumb posts, rebuild hinge points, weld cracked steel, and rehang gates so they close true. If a panel can be saved with on-site welding and proper realignment, that’s what we do instead of selling you a new gate.

Gate Installation
When a cedar privacy gate has outlived its service and full replacement makes more sense than another patch, we build it to last. That means proper post depth, the right concrete for North Texas clay, and a hinge design that won’t sag in three years. We give you a written price before any order is placed.

Gate Motor & Opener
We service and replace motors from LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, DoorKing, and Elite across Bedford. A motor that reverses on its own, buzzes without moving, or won’t hold limits usually needs a sensor adjustment or a board replacement, not a whole new operator. We’ll show you exactly what’s failing before we quote anything.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and remote systems all fail eventually, and Bedford’s summer heat is hard on circuit boards. We diagnose and replace access control components without gutting a working operator. If the system is obsolete, we’ll tell you what a sensible upgrade costs before touching a wire.
Call (903) 829-4499 to schedule a free measure and written quote for any access control work in Bedford.
Gate Parts & Welding
This is where Hal’s repair-first philosophy shows. We stock common hinges, bearings, rollers, latch mechanisms, and steel tubing, and we weld on site. A cracked weld at the hinge post can often be ground out, re-welded, and reinforced for a fraction of a replacement gate’s cost.

Why Bedford’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Bedford sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay moves. It swells in wet winters, shrinks in dry summers, and it pushes shallow-set gate posts out of plumb year after year. This is why a gate that closed fine in December suddenly won’t latch in July. Add in six months of 90-plus-degree heat drying out 40-year-old cedar boards, and you get cracked panels, pulled hinges, and posts that have rotated so far the latch no longer lines up with the strike.
There’s a pattern we see over and over in Bedford’s 1980s HOA neighborhoods along Pipeline Road and Brown Trail. The original builders set 4×4 posts in shallow concrete poured directly into clay. Thirty or forty years later, that post has risen, rotated, or both. So when someone calls and says “my gate won’t close,” the fix almost always starts with re-plumbing the post before we touch a hinge or a latch. A new latch on a leaning post is a repair you’ll be paying for again in six months. We’d rather fix it once, properly, and stand behind it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Bedford
Honest numbers, so you know what to expect. A basic hinge realignment or latch adjustment in Bedford typically runs $85 to $175. Re-plumbing a shifted post usually falls between $225 and $400 depending on post material and how much of the surrounding concrete has to come out. Welding a cracked gate frame runs roughly $120 to $275 per repair point. Full gate replacement, including a new cedar panel and steel post, starts around $650 for a standard walk gate and $1,200 to $2,800 for a double drive gate with opener.
Every price is quoted and agreed on before work starts. We currently offer $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Bedford
Most Bedford gate repairs run between $85 and $400, depending on whether the post needs re-plumbing or just the hinges and latch need realignment. A full drive gate replacement with opener starts around $1,200. Call (903) 829-4499 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
We answer the phone 24/7, and for a security emergency like a gate that won’t close, we’ll do everything we can to get someone from our Bedford crew out the same day. Call (903) 829-4499 and a live person will tell you exactly what’s possible.
The clay underneath Bedford heaves with moisture swings, pushing shallow-set posts out of plumb. A sagging gate usually means the post has moved, not that the hinges are worn. Re-plumbing the post is the permanent fix, and it’s the first thing Hal checks.
We weld on site whenever it’s safe and practical. A cracked hinge point or a broken frame rail can usually be ground out, reinforced, and re-welded in your driveway. That keeps the job faster and the price lower than sending a gate to a shop.
We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If you’re not sure what operator you have, we can identify it in minutes at no charge when you schedule a repair.

What Bedford Customers Say
"The fence is excellent and it was fairly priced. He is not quick to answer email, so if you need him, ring. He always picks up the phone."
- Rodney Falkenrath"Fitted a keypad and an intercom so my mother can let carers in without coming down the drive. He set it up and then made her practise with it until she was comfortable."
- Lucinda Marchbanks"Welded the hinge back onto our wrought iron gate on site rather than taking it away for a fortnight. Ground it back and painted it and you cannot see the repair."
- Winston Achterberg
