Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Colleyville’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his name is on the shop, on every invoice, and on the work we leave behind. That matters in Colleyville, where people still check a business out and expect the person who answers the phone to be the one who shows up. Our Gate Repair team works the Colleyville area regularly, from the estate lots off Glade Road down through the neighborhoods around Pleasant Run and into the older sections near Colleyville Boulevard. We know how these gates were built and we know what breaks on them.
Colleyville residents call us after other companies have already quoted a full replacement. More often than not, the gate does not need replacing. It needs a post re-plumbed, a hinge rebuilt, or an operator that is twenty years old and simply done. Hal fixes the gate in your driveway rather than hauling it off, and every job we do here carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That is the oldest accountability there is.
Crews serving Colleyville are scheduled from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail, not a chatbot. A person.
Our Gate Repair Services in Colleyville
Here is what we actually do when we pull up to a Colleyville driveway, and why the work holds up.
Electric Gate Repair
A dead electric gate in Colleyville is usually one of three things: a failed circuit board, burned motor windings, or wiring that has cooked in the summer heat. North Texas summers routinely pass 100 degrees, and gate motors sitting in direct sun on black iron gates run hotter than most people realize. We diagnose the problem on site, quote the repair before any work starts, and stand behind it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Automatic Gate Repair
Most Colleyville automatic gates were installed between 1995 and 2010. That means thousands of original Elite, LiftMaster, and Linear operators are reaching end-of-life at roughly the same time. If your opener is grinding, buzzing, or reversing for no reason, the control board or limit switch may be failing. We service nine major brands and stock common parts for the Colleyville market, which means faster turnaround on a repair you probably needed three weeks ago.
Hinge & Post Repair
Colleyville sits on expansive black clay, what locals call black gumbo. That soil shrinks and heaves with every wet-dry cycle, and over time it pushes gate posts out of plumb. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start. We cut out the old anchor, re-plumb the post, and weld the hinge back square so the latch actually catches again.
Gate Realignment
When a swing gate drags on the ground or a slide gate jumps its track, the fix is rarely the first thing most people try. We re-plumb the posts, re-level the track, and re-set the operator limits so the gate travels true. On long driveway gates off Hall-Johnson Road or any of the half-acre-plus lots in town, alignment work takes time and a careful touch. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice. We do not do work twice on purpose.

Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
We service the brands that were being installed when most of Colleyville was built: Elite, LiftMaster, Linear, DoorKing, Mighty Mule, and more. Because so many homes here went up in the same 15-year window, we keep a deep stock of parts for these older units so a bad board or limit switch does not mean waiting a week for a part from a warehouse. If you have a gate operator that another company told you is obsolete, call us first. We may have the part on the truck, or know exactly where to get it sooner.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Original operators from 1995-2010 failing in waves: Colleyville’s estate-home boom concentrated thousands of gate installs into a narrow window. Those Elite and Linear units are now 15 to 25 years old, and many are failing within months of each other. If your neighbor’s gate just died, yours may not be far behind.
- Black gumbo soil pushing posts out of plumb: The expansive clay around Colleyville moves more than most homeowners realize. Posts shift, swing gates bind at the latch, and slide gates drag. This is a structural problem, not a motor problem, and it needs a re-plumb, not a new opener.
- Spring storm damage to gate arms and tracks: Colleyville’s mature post oaks, cedar elms, and pecans drop limbs onto gate arms and slide tracks after severe weather. A bent rail or blocked loop detector after a March or April storm is a routine call for us, and a heavier one here than in more open neighboring cities like Southlake.
- Wire and seal degradation from constant heat: Operators mounted on metal posts in full sun endure brutal summer temperatures. Wiring insulation cracks, rubber seals dry out, and grease breaks down. A gate that worked fine in May and stops in August often has heat-related component failure, not a bad board.

FAQs - Gate Repair in Colleyville
Most Colleyville gates were installed between 1995 and 2010, during the city’s estate-home building wave. That means thousands of original operators, mostly Elite, LiftMaster, and Linear units, are all aging out of service around now. If you have noticed several neighbors with gate trouble this year, it is not a coincidence. It is math. Call (903) 829-4499 for an exact quote, and remember that estimates are free.
Yes. Last spring we reset a cantilever slide gate on a shared driveway off Bransford Road where two estate lots share a common easement. The original Linear operator had burned out after years of fighting a sagging tack weld, and the gate had to stay operable for both homeowners every day. We re-plumbed the hinge post, corrected the rack and pinion alignment, and installed a new LiftMaster operator with a safety photocell, all in one day without blocking either driveway. On shared access gates, we schedule and work around both homes because we know that gate is not decorative; it is how you both get home.
Black gumbo soil is the usual culprit. When the clay expands and contracts, the track shifts and the gate carriage can ride up off the rail. We re-level the track, re-set the rollers, and correct the operator limits so it stops binding. If the track itself is bent from a storm limb, we straighten or replace the section on site.
Yes, and it is more common in Colleyville than in newer open-lot neighborhoods. Mature post oaks and pecans drop limbs onto gate arms and tracks during spring severe weather. We straighten or weld the arm, clear debris from the loop detector area, and re-set the travel limits. If you had storm damage, call (903) 829-4499 and we will get you on the schedule.
Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing. If the motor is grinding but not moving the gate, likely the gearbox or drive sprocket. If it opens but reverses before fully closing, usually a limit switch or safety sensor. If the gate drags or catches, that is alignment, not the motor. We will diagnose it in the driveway and tell you the truth, because we would rather fix one thing than sell you two.
