AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Edmond
When an Edmond gate hinge breaks or a post leans after a wet spring, we can usually have a truck on-site within 24 to 48 hours. Gate parts and welding calls across 73034, 73003, 73012, and 73083 come directly to our own crew, never a third party. Hal Gatewood has owned this company since 2001, and the person who answers your call at (877) 610-2993 is the same person who will know what your gate needs before the truck even pulls into your driveway.
Edmond’s housing stock is specific: brick custom homes in HOA-governed subdivisions with ornamental iron driveway gates that were installed 15 to 25 years ago. Those gates are at the age where hinges fatigue, posts move, and welds crack. We fix them where they stand, because dragging a welded gate back to a shop is how small repairs turn into full replacements.
Key Takeaways
- Hinge replacement on an Edmond ornamental iron gate typically runs $185 to $390 per hinge, including on-site welding and alignment.
- Post replacement, including excavation and a new concrete footing engineered for red clay movement, usually runs $450 to $900 per post.
- Custom welding repairs, like cracked welds at hinge plates or rail ends, start around $140 and rarely exceed $500 unless the frame is twisted.
- We service FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking operators among others, and we stock the wear parts Edmond’s mid-2000s gates actually need.
- The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every invoice. If a weld fails or an alignment walks, Hal comes back.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Edmond’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
This is the part that matters to people in Edmond who have been burned before: Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop and on the invoice. The company has been owner-operated since 2001, with a published address and a license number anyone can look up. That is not a marketing line. Drive to the shop and look him in the eye. He will tell you the same thing he said on the phone.
Edmond customers tend to ask the same two questions before they schedule: “Who is actually going to show up?” and “Will the price match the quote?” The person who shows up is a background-checked, uniformed crew member from Gatewood Fence & Gate, not a stranger from a rotating list. The price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. If the repair runs over $200, the standing $40 discount applies automatically. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, every time, no haggling.
We work across Edmond regularly enough that our crew knows the HOA expectations in gated communities off Coltrane and the long driveway runs east of I-35. That local familiarity means we arrive ready for the specific problem, not ready to diagnose from scratch.
Our Gate Parts & Welding team carries welding rigs, replacement hinge stock, post steel, and the common operator wear parts on the truck. Most repairs finish in one visit.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Edmond
Hinge Replacement
Edmond’s ornamental iron gates fail at the hinges first, and the reason is under the soil. Red clay heaves in the wet spring, tilts the hinge post outward, and the gate starts dragging on the strike side. That drag loads the hinge plates until the welds crack. We replace the hinge, weld it in place, and set the gate so it swings free from the first day. A typical hinge replacement in Edmond runs $185 to $390 per hinge.
Post Replacement
This is the repair Edmond homeowners get talked out of by other companies, because it involves digging, concrete, and real welding. A leaning post is never “fine for now.” Edmond’s shrink-swell clay keeps working on it every season. We excavate, set a new footing sized deeper than the original, weld the post plumb, and rehang the gate. Post replacement with a new footing in Edmond’s soil typically runs $450 to $900 per post, and fixing the post without the footing is why we get called back to redo work another company left behind.
Rail Repair
Straight-line winds in Edmond’s storm corridor bend gate frames and shear bolts at rail connections. A bottom rail that flexes or a top rail that has pulled away from the pickets needs welding, not just tightening. We straighten what can be straightened and weld what cannot. Rail repair with on-site welding starts around $140 and rarely exceeds $500 unless the frame is too twisted to hold a true swing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edmond
We are certified to service nine major gate operator brands, and in Edmond we see a heavy concentration of FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking units on mid-2000s homes. That era of rapid subdivision growth across 73003 and 73012 meant builders installed operators as package upgrades, and many of those exact models are now discontinued or hard to source. We keep the common wear parts for these Edmond-era units on hand, which means a board or actuator job often finishes the same visit rather than waiting on a backorder.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Edmond Homes
- Hinge posts leaning after spring rains: The red clay in Edmond saturates, expands, and shoves the post out of plumb. The gate drags on the strike side and the operator’s clutch starts slipping. We replace the post and the footing, not just the hinge.
- Shared driveway gate fatigue: In east Edmond, two households often operate the same driveway gate with different remotes. Years of one household nudging the gate through its travel bends hinge plates and cracks welds at the post. We repair the post, the welds, and the receiver so both households’ codes work.
- Slide gate rack and pinion damage: Long driveway runs in northwest Edmond mean fast arrivals. When a loop detector fails to open in time, drivers force the gate off the track, which wears and bends the rack. That is both a welding fix and an operator calibration fix.
- Discontinued operator parts at the mid-2000s mark: A gate that worked fine for 20 years suddenly has a dead board or a seized actuator, and the replacement part is out of production. We repair what can be repaired and recommend a full operator swap only when the old unit cannot be made reliable.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Edmond
In most cases we fix the post without removing the gate. Our crew digs around the post, cuts it at the base, welds in a new post section with a reinforced footing, and rehangs the same gate on new hinges. Exceptions are rare, usually when the post has rotted at the weld joint and the gate rail itself is cracked. Call (877) 610-2993 and describe what you see. Hal will tell you over the phone whether it is a post-only job.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We keep common wear and control parts for the FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking units that builders used heavily in Edmond during the mid-2000s subdivision boom. If the exact board or actuator is no longer available, we will tell you before you spend a dime, and we will quote a full replacement only when repair is not realistic. The estimate is free either way.
Yes, that is a standard job. We weld a new receiver bracket at the operator, wire a receiver that supports two separate remote codes, and test the full travel with both remotes while we are on site. Shared driveway gate jobs are common in Edmond’s easement-driven layouts, and we set the force limits so the gate stops safely and opens cleanly for both households. Call (877) 610-2993 for a quote on your specific opener.
Usually both. The rack may have a bent or worn section that needs to be re-welded or replaced, but the reason it jumped in the first place is often a loop detector or limit switch that has fallen out of calibration after storm-cycle ground movement. We fix the rack, then set the operator so the gate cannot be forced off track. Slide gate rack repair and re-weld in Edmond runs $300 to $750.
Yes, in most cases. A solar operator mounts on the gate or post, and we wire the panel to the opener without trenching the driveway. The existing welded gate usually needs only a receiver bracket and a power-arm mounting plate, which we weld on site. 73003 has plenty of south-facing frontages with enough sun, and we will tell you honestly if your tree cover or driveway orientation makes solar the wrong call. Call (877) 610-2993 for an exact quote.
Red Clay, Mid-2000s Gates, and the Weld-Kit Fix
Here is what we know about Edmond that other pages cannot tell you. The sustained upscale building boom across 73003, 73012, and 73034 from the early 1990s through the 2010s put ornamental iron automated gates on thousands of homes, and many of those gates are entering their 15-to-25-year service window right now. At the same time, the red clay those gate posts sit in has been heaving and migrating seasonally the entire time. The two forces collide in a predictable way: hinge posts tilt, rail welds crack, operator clutches wear, and slide gates jump their tracks with every storm-season ground shift.
We recently reworked an ornamental iron dual swing gate in the gated Oak Tree subdivision of 73034 where years of red clay movement had pulled the hinge post out of plumb by nearly two inches. Our crew welded in a new reinforced post footing and realigned the hinges, then recalibrated the FAAC swing gate operator so the safety photocells and loop detector worked without nuisance interruptions for both the family’s SUVs and the school-run pedestrian walkway. That gate did not need replacing. It needed a weld kit, a proper footing, and an operator that matched the gate’s actual geometry.
That is the distinction Edinburgh homeowners need to hear clearly: your gate is probably not worn out. It is out of alignment, or a weld has fatigued, or a builder-installed operator has hit its natural end of life while the gate itself has decades left. We repair first, replace only when the steel cannot be made safe, and every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something is not right after we leave, one call brings Hal back. That promise is stamped on the invoice, not buried in fine print.
