AfterGate Repair Services in Keller, TX
If your gate is groaning, dragging, or refusing to open at all, you’re not alone this week in Keller. We get calls from Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, and the equestrian lots off Rapp Road from folks whose operators died overnight or whose hinges finally let go after one too many North Texas freezes. A live person answers our phone at (903) 829-4499, day or night, and we’ll have someone out to look at your gate fast. We don’t put you in a queue, and we don’t make you wait on a callback.
Most gate repairs in Keller start with a simple question: can the gate be saved, or is somebody about to sell you a whole new one you don’t need? That’s where we differ from the national outfits. Hal Gatewood started this company in 2001 with a welder and a truck, and he still runs it that way. If the gate can be fixed in your driveway, that’s where we fix it.

Why Keller Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Keller is the kind of town where you want to know the person behind the invoice. Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, his address is published, and his license number is there for anyone to look up. That’s the oldest accountability there is. We’ve been at this since 2001, and we’re not passing through.
Homeowners in Marshall Ridge and Hidden Lakes call us because they’ve heard the same thing from neighbors: Gatewood fixes what others want to replace. We weld on site. We rebuild hinge posts instead of slapping a band-aid on a sagging panel. And every job we do, from a simple chain-link gate repair to a full ornamental iron rebuild, carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. One call brings Hal back, no runaround.
We service nine major gate brands including Viking, DoorKing, and Elite, so when your operator gives out, you don’t have to start over with a system you didn’t want. And when you call, you get a live person. Not a voicemail, not a call center three states away. A real person who knows gates and knows Keller.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Keller
Gate Repair
From snapped weld joints to hinge posts rotting in Keller’s clay soil, we repair what you already have. We don’t haul your gate away to a shop; we fix it right in your driveway, with on-site welding and parts that match what’s there. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Keller.
Gate Installation
When a gate truly can’t be saved, we build a replacement that suits your property and your HOA’s requirements. We measure, order, fabricate, and install with the same owner-operator attention Hal has given every job since 2001. Learn more about Gate Installation in Keller.
Gate Motor & Opener
Keller’s heat, freeze cycles, and clay soil are tough on operators. We diagnose motor and opener failures on all nine brands we service, and we carry the parts to fix them without making you wait two weeks for a backorder. Learn more about Gate Motor & Opener in Keller.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, remote controls, and vehicle detection loops. We install, program, and troubleshoot access control systems on residential and small commercial gates across Keller, including systems that tie into your existing smart home setup.
Gate Parts & Welding
We keep a rolling stock of hinges, rollers, chain, rack, and operator parts on the truck. And because Hal is a welder first, we can rebuild broken iron, repair rusted frame sections, and reinforce weak points instead of replacing panels that still have years left in them.

Why Keller’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Keller sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay is the reason a lot of automatic gates in town stop closing right. The soil expands when it rains and contracts during drought, so gate posts heave and settle with every wet-dry cycle. We see it constantly: a gate that worked fine in November is dragging by March because the hinge post moved a half inch out of plumb. In Hidden Lakes and other neighborhoods built on this soil, it’s the single most common cause of gate failure we encounter.
Compounding the soil issue is the age of Keller’s housing stock. Most neighborhoods were built out between the early 1990s and the 2010s, and that means thousands of ornamental iron automatic gates installed during that era are now hitting their 15-to-25-year failure window. Operators that were state-of-the-art in 2003 are dying of old age. Hinges that looked fine in 2008 are now seized or snapped. Keller is seeing this wave all at once, neighborhood by neighborhood, and it’s why our phone rings the way it does.
Add to that the occasional hard freeze. When Dallas-Fort Worth gets an ice storm, Keller is right in the belt. A poorly sealed weld joint on an iron gate frame will trap water, and when that water freezes, the joint cracks. We see it every winter, and we fix it every spring.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Keller
Gate repair in Keller typically runs between $180 and $650 on average, depending on the specific failure. A basic hinge replacement or alignment jobs usually falls in that lower range, while a full operator replacement or on-site weld repair of a damaged frame can push toward the higher end. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that price is the price. No surprises at the door.
Here’s what you can expect, based on common Keller jobs we see:
| Repair Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement / gate alignment | $180-$350 |
| Operator or control board replacement | $350-$650 |
| On-site weld repair of broken frame | $250-$500 |
| Full gate rebuild / panel fabrication | $600-$1,800 |
Every quote is agreed before the work starts. That’s not a footnote; it’s how we do business. And for Keller homeowners, there’s $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

What Keller Customers Say
"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"He came out in the snow to get our gate closed after a delivery lorry clipped it, then came back in the spring to do the proper repair when the ground had thawed. Only charged for the second visit."
- Ingrid Solheim"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
- Hollis Amberly
