Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Boynton Beach’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood started this company in 2001, and his name is still on the shop and on every invoice. That matters in Boynton Beach, where homeowners and HOA boards have been burned by companies that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. Our published address and license number are checkable by anyone. The person who answers the phone is the person who knows gates, not a dispatcher three states away.
Every job we do in Boynton Beach carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, one call brings us back. No runaround, no fine print. That’s the promise Hal has stood behind for more than two decades, and it applies whether we’re replacing a hinge on a 1970s ornamental iron driveway gate in 33435 or welding a new post footing at a community entrance in Valencia Reserve.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated. Our trucks are stocked with gate parts for the brands Boynton Beach homes actually use. And because we weld on site, your gate stays in your driveway instead of getting hauled off to some shop you’ll never see. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing. That’s how we work here.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Boynton Beach
Our Gate Parts & Welding team handles everything from a stuck latch to a full post replacement. In Boynton Beach specifically, four repairs dominate the calls we get. Here’s what each one looks like and what it costs.
Hinge Replacement
In Boynton Beach’s eastern ZIP codes 33435 and 33426, hinge replacement is the most common job we do. Older homes from the 1960s through 1980s often still have original ornamental iron driveway gates, and those hinges have spent decades in salt-laden air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. The result is rust at the pin, seized bearings, and a gate that drags or refuses to swing.
A hinge replacement in Boynton Beach typically runs $180 to $420 per hinge, depending on gate weight and whether we need to weld a new hinge plate onto the frame. We use stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade grease on coastal jobs. If the gate is heavy, we may need to replace the hinge post at the same time. Fix the hinge without checking the post and you’ll have the same sag again in a year.

Post Replacement
Gate posts rust from the inside out in this climate. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start. In Boynton Beach, hinge posts near the coast often rust through at the base within 8 to 12 years, especially if the original installer never sealed the concrete footing against water intrusion. What looks like a bent gate is usually a failed post underneath.
Post replacement in Boynton Beach runs $350 to $750 for a standard residential gate post, including removal of the old footing, setting a new galvanized post in concrete, and re-hanging the gate to square. For large HOA slide gates in the western communities, post replacement can run $900 to $1,800 because the footing is deeper, the post is larger, and the work has to be scheduled around the board’s approval cycle. We always quote the full price before cutting or digging anything.

Rail Repair
Coastal air attacks gate rails where salt spray collects: along the bottom rail, at the welds, anywhere water sits. We see rail corrosion on both single-family gates in Boynton Beach and on the large community slide gates out west. The fix is almost always custom welding, not a replacement gate. We cut out the corroded section, weld in a new galvanized rail, and grind the joint smooth.
Rail repair in Boynton Beach typically runs $220 to $520 depending on how much rail has to be replaced and whether the gate needs to come off its track for access. For HOA community gates, we coordinate with the property manager to keep at least one lane open during the work. A gate with a rusted rail is a failure waiting to happen, usually at the worst possible time.

Custom Welding
Some Boynton Beach gates can’t be fixed with off-the-shelf parts. Older ornamental iron work from the 1960s is often hand-forged, with scrollwork and dimensions that don’t match anything in a catalog. That’s where on-site welding earns its keep. We fabricate replacement sections in the driveway, match the original pattern, and weld them in place. The gate never leaves the property.
Custom welding in Boynton Beach runs $150 to $500 for most residential repairs, depending on the complexity of the fabrication and how much material is involved. For HOA community gates and pedestrian access gates, we provide a written scope of work so the board can slot it into the reserve fund cycle. We don’t try to sell you a new gate when a weld will fix it. Repair first. Replacement only when there’s nothing left to weld to.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Boynton Beach Homes
These are the failures we see week after week in this market. If any of these sound familiar, call before the gate stops opening entirely.
- Rusted hinge posts in eastern ZIP codes. Homes in 33435 and 33426 near the Intracoastal get salt spray on prevailing easterly winds. Hinge posts rust at the base within a decade because water seeps into the footing. The gate sags, scrapes, and eventually binds. Post replacement is the fix; welding the panel won’t work.
- Failed underground loop detectors in western HOA communities. The saturated clay soils out near Lyons Road and Jog Road, combined with heavy summer rainfall, degrade loop wire insulation faster than anywhere inland. The gate operator stops sensing vehicles, so the gate won’t open or refuses to close. We replace the loop wire and re-tune the detector.
- Corroded bottom rails on 1980s steel gates. Painted steel gates from that era corrode along the bottom rail where salt spray collects. The paint looks fine on top, but the underside is paper-thin. Custom welding of a new galvanized section restores the gate without replacing the whole frame.
- Seized latch and lock hardware. Salt air doesn’t just eat big steel. It also gums up the small parts: latch springs, lock cylinders, hinge pins. In Boynton Beach, locks on unprotected gates can seize within a few years. We replace hardware with marine-grade stainless and re-pin locks so they work with existing keys.
Boynton Beach’s western ZIP codes 33472, 33473, and 33474 hold one of the densest concentrations of 55+ master-planned gated communities in Palm Beach County. GL Homes’ Valencia series, including Valencia Reserve, Valencia Cove, and Valencia Bay, accounts for thousands of homes behind HOA-owned community slide gates. In these developments, the gate repair market is dominated by large-format vehicular slide gates managed by property managers and HOA boards, not private driveway gates. Every parts or welding call has to fit into a reserve-fund approval cycle, which means the board needs a written scope, a firm price, and a timeline they can take to a meeting. That’s a business dynamic almost entirely absent in neighboring cities like Lake Worth Beach or Greenacres. We know how to work with HOA boards because we’ve been doing it here for years.
In Valencia Reserve, a 16-foot community slide gate had sagged badly on its hinge post, and the HOA board had already approved parts through their reserve fund. Our tech removed the corroded steel post footing from the salt-laden clay, set a new galvanized hinge post in concrete, and welded the gate rail back to square. We rehung the gate, adjusted the rack and pinion, and ran the gate operator through full travel while the board’s property manager watched. No more sag, and the safety photocell gap stayed clean. That’s what a correct post replacement looks like on a community gate: quiet, fast, and done before the entrance backs up.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Boynton Beach
Salt-laden air from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal settles on hinge hardware and accelerates oxidation. In ZIP codes 33435 and 33426, a standard steel hinge that would last 20 years inland often fails within 8 to 12. The fix is stainless or marine-grade replacement hardware, not another standard hinge that will rust just as fast. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll tell you what spec your gate needs.
Yes. We bring portable welding equipment on site and coordinate with the HOA property manager to keep at least one lane open during the work. Most community slide gate repairs in Boynton Beach’s western HOA communities can be completed in a single day, which helps the board schedule around rush hours. A written scope and firm price come first.
Look at the gap between the gate and the post. If the gap is tight at the top and wide at the bottom, the post is leaning. If the gate is square to the post but the panel itself droops, the welds or rails have failed. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. We can tell you over the phone what you’re looking at and what it’ll cost to fix.
Galvanized steel, always. Paint hides corrosion; galvanizing prevents it at the substrate level. For Boynton Beach’s salt air, we recommend hot-dip galvanized posts and stainless steel fasteners on every coastal job. Painted steel has a place inland, but within a mile of the Intracoastal, it’s a temporary fix.
Yes. HOA gates are typically owned by the association, which means the board has to approve the scope and the cost through the reserve fund cycle. We provide written estimates that boards can take to a meeting, with the full price stated up front. For single-family homes, the process is faster: you call, we quote, you approve, we fix. Either way, the price doesn’t change at the door.
