AfterGate Repair Near You in Arlington, TX
When your gate stops working, you aren’t just looking at an inconvenience; you are looking at a security risk. If you need our Gate Repair services near you in Arlington, TX, you can call us at (817) 241-4067 to speak with a live person right now. We offer same-day service for urgent issues and provide upfront, honest pricing without the games.

A broken gate often leaves your property exposed or traps your vehicle inside. We understand that urgency. Whether it is a snapped chain, a motor that won’t engage, or Hinge & Post Repair that is needed, we arrive with the tools to fix it. We don’t believe in hauling your gate away to a shop if we can weld it or repair it right there in your driveway. Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road, which is the oldest form of accountability there is.
Fast, Local Gate Repair
Most gate companies are interested in selling you a new operator or a full gate replacement before they even look at the problem. That is not how we operate. When you search for gate repair near me, you want someone who prioritizes fixing what you have. We specialize in on-site welding and mechanical troubleshooting for nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your gate is sagging, it’s usually the hinge post, not the middle of the gate, and we start our troubleshooting with Weld & Rust Repair and hinge assessment there.
We keep our service area tight so we can actually show up when we say we will. When you call (817) 241-4067, you aren’t reaching a call center three states away. You are reaching a local business. We provide upfront pricing, meaning you know the cost before we start, and we honor our 90-Day Done Right Promise on every single job. If it isn’t done right, we make it right. We carry the parts, the welder, and the experience to handle most repairs in a single visit, saving you the headache of waiting days for a second trip.

How We Handle Your Gate Repair
Repairing a gate isn’t just about swapping out a circuit board. It is about understanding the mechanics of weight, balance, and leverage. When we arrive, we follow a consistent process to ensure your safety and the longevity of the repair.
- Inspection: We look at the hinge points, the operator motor, and the safety sensors. A gate that sags is a gate under stress, and we address that weight distribution first.
- Diagnosis: We determine if the failure is electrical, mechanical, or structural. We explain the findings to you in plain English, not technical jargon.
- On-Site Repair: Whether it requires welding a broken hinge, replacing a drive chain, or servicing a motor, we do it at your property.
- Safety Check: We verify the safety sensors are reversing the gate correctly. If the gate doesn’t stop for an obstruction, it is a danger to your family and pets.
- Verification: We test the gate through multiple cycles while you watch, ensuring the 90-Day Done Right Promise is met.
Safety Warning: High-tension springs and gate cables are under extreme pressure and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. If you hear a loud snap or see a cable dangling, stay clear of the area and call a trained professional. Do not attempt to adjust these yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to my property for a gate repair?
We prioritize urgent gate issues because we know a broken gate is a security risk, and we offer same-day service for most emergency repairs in the Arlington area. When you call us, you are speaking directly to someone who knows our schedule, not a dispatch center, so we can give you a realistic arrival window immediately.
Do you service gates in my specific neighborhood?
We serve the entire Arlington, Fort Worth, Colleyville, Irving, Grand Prairie, Kennedale, Hurst, and Bedford region regularly. If you are within our service area, we do not charge for the trip, and we are likely already working nearby. Call (817) 241-4067 to confirm we can reach your address today.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my gate motor?
In many cases, a simple repair or a motor service can extend the life of your operator by years, saving you the cost of a full replacement. We always look to fix the issue first, but if the motor is obsolete or the repair cost exceeds the value of the unit, we will be honest with you about your options.
What should I do if my gate won’t close?
First, check for any physical obstructions like rocks, debris, or overgrown landscaping in the track or path of the gate. If the path is clear, check your safety sensors to see if they are misaligned or blocked. If the gate still won’t close, call us immediately at (817) 241-4067, as a gate that won’t close is a major security concern for your home.
If you are tired of dealing with companies that don’t call back or don’t show up, give us a chance to earn your trust. We have been home owners and operators in this industry since 2001, and we take pride in the fact that our name is on every invoice we write. Call (817) 241-4067 today for a free estimate and let us get your gate back in working order.

What Our 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."
