AfterGate Repair Services in Fort Worth, TX
When a gate stops closing in Fort Worth, you don’t have the luxury of waiting until next week. A driveway gate stuck open in neighborhoods like Fairmount or Ryan Place leaves your yard exposed overnight. A sagging ranch gate out near Benbrook lets livestock wander toward the highway. Hal Gatewood has been fixing both ends of that spectrum since 2001, and a live person answers our phone at (817) 241-4067 any hour you call. We work in Fort Worth every week, know the soil, know the heat, and know which gates were installed right and which ones weren’t. Most repair calls get scheduled same day or next day, and you get a straight price before any wrench turns.
If you’re standing in your driveway right now looking at a gate that won’t open or won’t stay shut, here’s the short answer: most Fort Worth gate repairs run between $180 and $340, and we can typically have someone out the same day you call. The exact number depends on what failed, whether the post is still sound, and whether the opener survived it. Call (817) 241-4067, tell us what you’re seeing, and we’ll give you an honest range over the phone. No bait pricing, no surprise line items when the invoice comes.

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That’s the oldest accountability there is, and we still run the company that way. When you call about a gate in Fort Worth, you’re not getting routed to a national chain that swaps parts by script. You’re talking to someone who welds on site, fixes the hinge rather than replacing the whole panel, and has an address and license number anyone can look up. The person who shows up has done this work for years, not weeks. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and we’re not passing through.
We’ve pulled leaning posts out of Blackland Prairie clay in Fairmount, rebuilt ornamental iron driveway gates in Ryan Place, and welded pipe-gate hinges on properties west of Loop 820 out toward the Walsh corridor. Fort Worth homeowners tell us the same things when they call: they were quoted one price by somebody on the phone and charged another at the door. They want a name they can verify and a face they’ll see again. That’s what we do. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. One call brings Hal back, no runaround, no “in most cases” language. It’s done right or we make it right. Plain as that.
We also keep our pricing offers out where you can see them. $40 off any repair over $200. No trip charge inside the county. A free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from another company. And a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. You don’t have to haggle for any of it, and you shouldn’t have to. Call (817) 241-4067 and a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a call center three states away. Not a chatbot.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Fort Worth
Gate Repair
A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That’s where we start on every repair. We weld on site in your driveway, fix what’s actually broken, and leave the rest alone. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Fort Worth.
Gate Installation
A new gate is only as good as the footings under it. In Fort Worth, that means digging below the clay line and setting posts in concrete that can survive a freeze-thaw cycle. We measure, quote, and build to the gate and the ground it stands on. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Fort Worth.
Gate Motor & Opener
When an opener stops mid-travel or starts reversing for no reason, the fix is usually the loop detector, the limit switch, or the board, not the whole unit. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems across Fort Worth. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Fort Worth.
Gate Access Control
Keypads that won’t accept codes, remotes that work only from ten feet away, HOA entry systems that need new credentials. We diagnose the control side of the gate, including Gate Access Control - Fort Worth, not just the mechanical side, and we program on site.
Gate Parts & Welding
Some repairs need a new hinge. Some need a new picket welded into a rusted section. We carry steel, aluminum, and the common hardware on the truck, and we can fabricate a patch or a part through our Gate Parts & Welding in Fort Worth when the catalog doesn’t have it. We weld the gate in your driveway, not in some off-site shop.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fort Worth
We run calls all over Fort Worth, but here are a few areas where we work regularly: Fairmount and Ryan Place with their older craftsman homes and aging driveway gates, the master-planned communities of Walsh Ranch on the far west side, Chapel Creek up north, and the rural fringes toward Benbrook and Aledo. Typical response time for a repair call in these areas is same day or next morning.

Why Fort Worth’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Fort Worth sits at the “where the West begins” line, and gate repair here really does split into two different jobs. On the east side, you’ve got HOA-governed ornamental iron and automated entry gates in master-planned subdivisions like Walsh Ranch and Chapel Creek, often using systems from brands like Ghost Controls service in Fort Worth. On the west side toward Weatherford and Aledo, you’ve got working ranch-style pipe-and-cable gates on properties where the gate’s job is keeping livestock in, not keeping the neighborhood out. We service both in one territory, which most Dallas-side companies don’t. Our trucks carry a pipe-gate and livestock-latch kit next to the standard ornamental iron parts. It’s common for us to repair an automated HOA gate at a new subdivision entrance in the morning and weld a broken pipe-gate hinge on a 20-acre horse property in the afternoon.
The ground under Fort Worth is the real driver of most gate repair calls. The Blackland Prairie clay that runs through Tarrant County swells with spring rain and shrinks in summer drought. That cycle pushes posts out of level, throws hinges out of alignment, and makes gates that were perfectly square six months ago start dragging or latching wrong. Then the weather compounds it. Summers sit above 100°F for weeks at a stretch, which cracks wood gates and binds metal hardware. Winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that can seize an opener, split a waterlogged post, or snap older ornamental iron that’s been quietly rusting for years. Between the clay, the heat, and the ice, gate hardware here rarely reaches a stable long-term set on its own. It needs to be built and adjusted for Fort Worth conditions, not for a mild generic climate.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Fort Worth
Most Fort Worth gate repairs run between $180 and $340, with more involved work like a post reset or opener board replacement landing between $300 and $550. The price depends on what actually failed and whether the post is still sound. We quote the exact number before any work starts, and it’s a fixed price, not an estimate that drifts. Call (817) 241-4067 and describe what the gate’s doing. We’ll tell you over the phone what to expect.
Most Fort Worth repair calls get scheduled same day or next morning. If a gate is stuck open and leaving your property exposed, tell us when you call and we’ll prioritize it. A live person answers at (817) 241-4067 around the clock.
Yes. We service automated entry gates at HOA communities throughout Fort Worth, including newer subdivisions in the Walsh Ranch and Chapel Creek corridors. That includes loop detectors, keypads, phone entry systems, Mighty Mule repair in Fort Worth, and the mechanical side of the gate itself. We diagnose before we replace, so the HOA pays for the part that failed, not a whole new system.
The clay. The Blackland Prairie soil under Fort Worth swells and shrinks more aggressively with seasonal moisture than most Dallas-side ground, which means posts move and gates fall out of alignment faster. We set posts deeper and adjust hardware for that movement. The heat and ice cycles also mean we see more weld stress and opener failures than companies working milder climates would expect. Fixing a Fort Worth gate without accounting for the soil means fixing it twice.
Both, and that’s fairly unusual in this market. We carry pipe-gate and livestock-latch parts next to ornamental iron hardware on every truck. Hal has welded broken hinges on working ranch gates west of Fort Worth toward Aledo and repaired automated HOA entry gates in new subdivisions the same day. It’s not a different company for each. It’s the same crew, the same truck, and the same phone number.
If your gate in Fort Worth is sagging, stuck, or silent, call (817) 241-4067 now. A live person answers. You’ll get an honest price, a straight answer, and someone who will actually show up in the window we promised.

What Fort Worth Customers Say
"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"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."
