AfterGate Repair Services in Colleyville, TX
If your gate is making a noise it didn’t make last month, or the opener runs but the gate barely moves, you’re not imagining it. We get calls every week from Colleyville homeowners whose 1990s-era iron gates have finally worn through a hinge or cooked a control board. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and the person who answers when you call (817) 241-4067 is a live human being, not a recording. We know the difference between a gate that needs a $40 limit-switch adjustment and one that needs real welding, and we’ll tell you straight before we touch a thing.

Why Colleyville Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
The single biggest reason is boring, and it matters: Hal’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. There’s no dispatcher you’ll never meet, no call center routing you to whoever happens to be closest. When work is scheduled in Colleyville, someone who knows gates shows up in the window we promised. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Montclair Parc and Old Grove have called us after national companies quoted a full panel replacement, only to find out the real problem was a hinge post that had shifted an inch in the clay. We welded it true in the driveway and charged for the hour of work, not a new gate. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Plain as that.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Colleyville
Colleyville’s gate stock is not like what you find in Bedford or Hurst. These are custom estate gates on half-acre to two-acre lots, most built between 1988 and 2010, and they need a repair shop that treats them as what they are: expensive, one-of-a-kind, and worth fixing instead of replacing. We handle all of it.
Gate Repair
A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start. We repair bent and broken pickets, reframe sagging panels, rebuild hinge posts, and weld cracks on site, so the gate stays in your driveway instead of riding off to a shop. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Colleyville.
Gate Installation
When a gate is past saving, we build and install new ornamental iron driveway gates sized to your existing pillars, matched to the style of the house, and hung so they swing true from day one. We measure, quote, order, and schedule the work, and the price you sign is the price you pay. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Colleyville.
Gate Motor & Opener
Opener failures are the most common call we get in Colleyville, and for good reason: a huge share of this city’s gates were built with Viking, Linear, and Elite operators that are now 20 to 30 years old. We stock boards, limit switches, and gears for those older units, and we service all nine major brands. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Colleyville.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, telephone entry systems, vehicle sensors, and loop detectors all have to talk to the operator and the hardware and they all need to work with the way you actually use the gate, not the way a catalog drawing shows it. We install and wire access control that cuts down on false triggers and won’t lock out your own family.
Gate Parts & Welding
Sometimes the only thing wrong is a hinge bushing, a bent rack, a cracked guide track, or a weld that failed at the base of a picket. We keep common parts on the truck and we weld on site. Not every company will do that anymore; it’s easier to sell a new panel. Easier for them, not for you.

Why Colleyville’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Colleyville sits on some of the most unforgiving soil in Tarrant County. The black clay shrinks and swells with every dry spell and every downpour, and it never moves evenly. That means gate post footings and brick pillar bases heave a quarter inch one season and settle back the next, which throws off the swing, drags the gate on the drive, and loads the hinges until something snaps or bends. We see it every spring and every fall: a gate that worked fine in October is dragging by March because the post moved, not the panel. Add in summers that routinely hit 105°F and you get something else specific to this market, operator control boards cooking inside unshaded pillar boxes. A board that should last ten years chews through itself in five when the box sits in full sun on the west side of a Colleyville driveway. When you repair a gate here, you have to account for the soil and the sun, or you’ll fix the same gate twice. And you shouldn’t have to pay twice.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Colleyville
Most gate repairs in Colleyville run between $85 and $600, with the most common jobs (limit adjustments, hinge replacements, board swaps) falling in the $150-$450 range. Full operator or panel replacement is higher. We always quote before we start, and you can call (817) 241-4067 for a free estimate over the phone.
In most cases, yes. We make same-day service calls in Colleyville for gates that won’t open, won’t close, or are leaving your property unsecured. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so tell us what’s happening and we’ll tell you honestly when we can get there.
Yes. Those brands and models are all over Colleyville because so many of the city’s neighborhoods were built in a tight window during the 1990s and 2000s, and many gates in the same subdivision run the same operator from the same year. We stock boards, limit switches, and gears for those older units, and Hal can usually tell you over the phone whether it’s a board, a gear, or a limit switch.
Almost always the soil. Tarrant County’s expansive black clay moves seasonally, and when it moves under a gate post or a brick pillar, the gate tilts and drags. The fix starts at the post, not the panel. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start.
Yes. A full gate installation in Colleyville includes the gate itself, the operator, the power run, safety edges or photo eyes where required, and all the wiring back to the panel. We quote the whole job as one written number so you know exactly what’s included. Call (817) 241-4067 for a free measure and estimate.
If your gate is making noise, moving slow, or not moving at all, call Hal. He’ll answer. (817) 241-4067

What Colleyville Customers Say
"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
- Otis Redmond"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
