AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Everman
Gate repair in Everman usually comes down to hinges, posts, rails, or welds on gates that carry way more weight than they were built for. We see it daily: a 16-foot double swing gate on a 1/2 HP opener, original hinges from the 1970s, and a post that’s drifted out of plumb from the black clay soil under it. Gatewood Fence & Gate has been fixing exactly that since 2001. Hal Gatewood runs the shop, and whoever shows up at your gate does the work there in your driveway. Call (817) 241-4067 and you’ll get a live person, day or night.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Everman’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’re not the kind of operation that swaps your whole gate when a hinge barrel’s worn. Most of what we do in Everman is Gate Installation - Everman and repair work other companies walked away from because it’s easier to sell a new gate than to cut out a rusted post and weld in a new one. Hal’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. If the weld fails or the hinge binds again, one call brings him back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
Our Gate Parts & Welding crew carries hinge stock, post tube, gate rollers, and welding rigs in the truck, because hauling an 18-foot steel gate back to a shop isn’t practical and isn’t how we work. We weld on site, in your driveway, off Enon Avenue or wherever you are in Everman. And when the job’s done, you get a written price that was agreed before the torch ever lit.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Everman
Hinge Replacement
Hinge fatigue on Everman gates isn’t subtle. The barrel wears egg-shaped, the pin grooves, and the gate starts dragging at the latch end. We cut out the old hinge, weld in a heavier barrel hinge rated for the gate’s actual weight, not the weight on the original spec sheet. On 1960s tubular-steel gates around Enon Avenue and the neighborhoods off W. Everman Parkway, we often step up a size or two. That fixes the sag at its cause instead of making the opener fight it.
Post Replacement
This is the one we fix most in Everman. Black clay swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, and a hinge post set in a shallow 2-foot footing has no chance. The post heaves, tilts, and takes the gate out of square with it. We cut the post out, drill a deeper footing, set the new post in concrete, and true the gate before re-hanging. The hinge post is the whole game. Forget that and you’re chasing a sag forever.
Rail Repair
Slide gates on work-truck parking pads take abuse. A residential-grade rail welded under an overweight 18-foot steel gate wears fast, and the rack teeth don’t engage the drive gear cleanly. We cut out the damaged rail section and weld in new track, or replace the rack entirely when it’s chewed past saving. If the gate’s weight says commercial but the rail says homeowner-special, we’ll tell you straight what’s worth welding and what’s worth replacing before you spend another cent.
Custom Welding
Not everything in Everman is a standard repair. Sometimes a trailer gate needs an extension, or a work truck needs a mount point, or a chain-link gate got clipped by a mower deck and the frame’s cracked. Hal welds it cold and welds it right. If it’s broken steel, we can usually fix it in place without dragging it off your property. That keeps your gate square, your hinges true, and your driveway usable the same day.

Trusted Brands We Service in Everman
Most Everman gates run LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, or our Gate Motor & Opener in Everman operators. We stock common boards, limit switches, and drive parts for those four, which means less waiting when your gate’s down. Viking units show up here too, mostly on older slide gates. We don’t play brand favorites. If the operator’s worth fixing, we fix it. If the board’s obsolete and there’s no safe retrofit, we’ll tell you that in plain English instead of selling you a patch that fails the next time the clay shifts.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Everman Homes
- Thermal overload trips on 1/2 HP LiftMaster operators. A 16-foot double gate on a residential opener is a mismatch. The motor doesn’t die; it overheats and quits. We re-square the gate and re-bed the posts so the operator stops fighting a load it was never rated for.
- Hinge post heave on expansive clay. North Texas black clay moves enough every wet-dry cycle to tilt a shallow-set post. Once the post is out of plumb, the gate drags and the hinge welds shear. Deeper footings fix it permanently.
- Obsolete control boards without modern safety photocell inputs. Early 2000s Linear and LiftMaster boards can’t always accept current loop detectors or safety eyes. They get hardwired into bypasses that fail UL 325 entrapment checks. We retrofit them properly or tell you honestly when replacement’s the cheaper answer.
- Racked-out slide gate rails on work truck pads. Everman lots store trucks, trailers, and equipment. A residential rail under a heavy steel slide gate wears fast. We cut and weld new track before the drive gear strips itself.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Everman
Usually not. What’s happening is the gate’s out of square and the motor’s overheating from fighting a load it’s under-spec’d for. The fix is re-bedding the hinge posts and truing the gate, not necessarily a new operator. Call (817) 241-4067 and we’ll check it in person before you buy a motor you don’t need.
We can weld in a new rack section or replace the rail on most gates, as long as the gate’s structural frame is sound. If the gate’s too far gone, we’ll tell you, and we’ll show you exactly where the weld won’t hold before you spend anything. Estimates are free.
Yes. We cut the post out, drill a deeper footing, set a new post, and re-hang your existing gate. The gate itself usually doesn’t need replacement just because the post moved. Call (817) 241-4067 and we’ll look at the post before recommending anything.
We evaluate them board by board. Some obsolete LiftMaster and Linear boards can accept a retrofitted safety input. Some can’t, and running one in bypass is an entrapment risk we won’t put our name on. When a board’s not safely serviceable, replacement is the honest answer. We’ll show you the specific failure so you know it’s real and not a sales line.
Replacing the hinge post, by a wide margin. Welding the panel without fixing the post buys you a few months at best. Once the post is true and set deep, the gate hangs straight and the hinges stop eating themselves. Fix the post and you fix it once. Call (817) 241-4067 for a straight answer on yours.
