Why Argyle Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Argyle isn’t a suburb full of identical HOA gates. It’s a town where the driveway gate is often the first thing a guest sees and the last line between a horse and the road. That’s why the homeowners we work with in neighborhoods like Harvest and Canyon Falls tend to ask the same two questions: can you come now, and will the fix actually hold. The answer to the first is usually yes, same day or next morning depending on what the gate’s doing. The answer to the second is in writing. Every job carries a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it fails because of something we did, Hal comes back and makes it right. No argument, no fine print, no “well, that part wasn’t covered.” The name on the shop is the name on the invoice.
We’re owner-operated and Hal Gatewood still goes out on jobs himself. That matters to people who’ve been burned by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and sent somebody who’d never seen the gate to charge a different number at the door. You can look up our license, drive to the shop, and talk to the person who will actually do the work. A live person answers our phone around the clock, seven days a week. Not a voicemail. Not a chatbot. Somebody local.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Argyle
Gate Repair
A gate that drags on the ground, leans against the post, or won’t close all the way is telling you where it’s failing. We start at the hinge post, because a gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we fix it. Most repairs in Argyle are done in one visit with on-site welding, so the gate never leaves your driveway.

Gate Installation
Whether you’re fencing a new equestrian property off Gibbons Road or replacing a tired chain-link gate with something that belongs on a custom home, we measure, quote, and build for Argyle’s specific soil and gate expectations. A gate installed plumb in clay soil that’s about to shift is a gate that gets squared up within a year, and we plan for that from the first dig. Every install gets the same 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Gate Motor & Opener
When an automatic gate stops responding to the remote or starts creeping open on its own, the problem is rarely the whole operator. It’s usually a limit switch, a dying battery, or a sensor knocked out of alignment by a post that shifted in the clay. We service LiftMaster, BFT, Linear, Ghost Controls, and more, and we fix the component that failed instead of quoting you a full replacement.

Gate Access Control
From keypad entry systems on long private driveways to intercom and vehicle-detection loops on larger properties, access control keeps the gate useful and the property secure. We install, repair, and upgrade these systems, and we make sure the safety edges and auto-close logic actually work before we leave, because a gate that closes on a truck is a liability nobody wants in their driveway.
Gate Parts & Welding
The part that broke is usually the rusted bracket, the stretched chain, or the cracked hinge plate, not the entire gate. We weld on site, which means the gate stays where it is and the repair matches the existing metal instead of looking like a bolt-on afterthought. Hal’s been doing this since 2001, and he gets genuinely annoyed when he finds a gate somebody “repaired” by strapping a new opener onto a post that’s leaning six degrees out of plumb.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Argyle
We run calls all over Argyle, and because we’re based in the DFW metro and serve Argyle locally, we’re typically on site the same morning or early afternoon when a gate fails. Some of the neighborhoods where we work most often:
- Harvest
- Canyon Falls
- Country Lakes
- The Ranches at Valley View
- Properties along FM 407 and US 377
If your neighborhood isn’t on this list, that doesn’t mean we don’t cover it. Those are just the streets we’ve been down recently.
Why Argyle’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Argyle sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells when it rains and contracts when it dries, and the gates up here take the brunt of that movement. Along the FM 407 and US 377 corridors especially, gate posts set in concrete piers cant inward through summer drought and then shove back outward after the spring rains. A technician who adjusts the opener arm without checking post plumb first is fixing a job that will come back before Labor Day. We check the post with a level before we ever touch an operator, because in Argyle, the post is usually the problem the motor is just paying for.
Then there’s the heat and the freezes. Summers push past 100°F, cooking the grease out of swing arms and making plastic limit switches brittle. The 2021 freeze event seized up hydraulic operators all over town when the oil thickened and the battery backups died right when people needed the gate to open for a generator delivery. Homes here with solar-powered openers on brick columns and long runs back to the house need batteries tested every couple of years, not when the gate stops opening. That’s just Argyle weather, and we plan for it on every job.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Argyle
Most Argyle gate repairs fall between $180 and $480 depending on what failed. A bent hinge bracket or misaligned post is usually under $350. An operator board or motor replacement tends to run $220 to $480 for brands like BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls. A full operator swap on a heavy estate gate will start around $850. The number we quote before we start is the number you pay, and every quote can be locked in with a call to (903) 829-4499.
In most cases, yes. We run local crews through Argyle daily, and if you call us before midmorning, we can usually get a technician out that afternoon. What happens after that depends on whether parts need ordering, but a lot of what we do, hinge realignment, welding, limit switch adjustments, sensor fixes, happens in one visit. Call us and tell us what the gate is doing, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there.
We do. A lot of Argyle properties on one-to-five-acre lots run solar-powered openers on brick columns, and the battery backup is the part that fails right when a hard freeze or summer outage hits. We test batteries, check panel output, and replace what’s actually dead instead of selling you a whole new system. If your gate opened fine until the power went out and never came back after, the battery is the first thing we check.
Usually, yes. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. In Argyle’s clay soil, posts heave and cant seasonally, and the fix is often digging out and resetting the post in concrete with proper drainage, then welding or re-hanging the hinge. We do this on site. You don’t pay for a new gate unless your gate is actually ruined. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing, and it’s rarely the gate.
You get a written price before any work starts, and we honor it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job: if what we fixed fails within 90 days due to our workmanship, Hal comes back and makes it right. No runaround, no requalifying the warranty. And if you have a written estimate from another gate company, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion. That’s a standing offer, not a special.

What Argyle Customers Say
"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"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
- Salvador Arredondo
