AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Greenburgh
Gate parts and welding in Greenburgh usually means one of two jobs: the hinge post has heaved and the gate binds, or the original ironwork cracked and somebody said it couldn’t be saved. We fix both with our Gate Installation - Greenburgh service, on site, without hauling your gate to a shop. Hal Gatewood has been doing this since 2001, and the crew that shows up at your driveway in Greenburgh is the same crew that answers the phone. Call (877) 610-2993 and you’ll get a live person, day or night. We weld in your driveway, match the old scrollwork, and stand behind it with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Greenburgh’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Greenburgh isn’t one housing market. The river side, especially around Irvington, is full of estate gates hung on bluestone pillars that have been there since Calvin Coolidge was president. The inland side has mid-century colonials with aluminum gates and opener brackets that fatigue. We know the difference because we drive these roads weekly, not because a call center read us a script.
Our Gate Parts & Welding work in Greenburgh gets done by Hal or a background-checked crew member who reports to Hal. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, one call brings him back. No runaround. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That’s the oldest accountability there is. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. We publish our address and license number. We have been at this since 2001, and we aren’t passing through.
We serve all of Greenburgh, from the estate drives off Broadway down to the smaller lots near Hartsdale. No trip charge inside the county. Free second opinion on any written estimate. $40 off any repair over $200. Ten percent off for seniors and veterans, every time.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Greenburgh
Hinge Replacement
A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That’s where we start. On older Greenburgh estate gates, the original hinge straps are often wrought iron that has been bent and straightened too many times over 80 or 90 years. We fabricate replacements that match the original profile, then weld or bolt them in place so the gate hangs true against the post. On lighter mid-century gates, we replace worn pin hinges and realign the panel so the opener doesn’t fight a bind on every cycle.
Post Replacement
Freeze-thaw cycles in Westchester heave footings. It happens slowly, then all at once: the bluestone post leans, the gate drags, and the opener starts tripping its safety edge. We don’t just shim the post and call it done. We dig out the failed footing, reset the post in concrete with proper drainage below the frost line, and then rebuild the hinge geometry around the straightened post. Where the post is original bluestone, we match it. Where it’s brick, our work includes the masonry repair alongside the metalwork, so you don’t have to call two companies.
Rail Repair
Heavy wrought iron gates crack at the rail welds first. A crack in the bottom rail lets the gate flex, which throws off the latch strike and makes the opener work harder. We grind out the crack and weld it properly, then reinforce the joint with a gusset when the panel calls for it. On ornamental gates in the Irvington ZIP 10533, we often see old brazed repairs from decades past that have finally let go. We cut those out and replace them with clean welds that match the surrounding patina.
Custom Welding
Sometimes the gate can’t be fixed by replacing a part. The original hinge strap is gone, or the mounting point has rusted through, or the panel needs a new section built from scratch. We weld on site, in your driveway. That matters for a 400-pound estate gate, because moving it off site risks cracking the decorative scrollwork. We fabricate replacement pickets, scrolls, hinges, and sub-frames by hand. If you have a 1920s Colonial Revival gate missing a scroll, we can match the original pattern close enough that you won’t find the repair unless somebody points it out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenburgh
We stock parts and service our Gate Motor & Opener in Greenburgh from FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, which covers most of what’s on the ground in Greenburgh. Older estate properties lean heavily on FAAC and BFT underground operators. Mid-century homes often have Linear swing-arm units. We keep common boards, limit switches, remotes, and safety edges on the truck so a service call doesn’t turn into two visits. If your opener is one of those four brands, we can usually diagnose it and quote the repair on the spot, before any work begins.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Greenburgh Homes
- Heaved hinge posts on original bluestone pillars. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles crack the footing, the post leans outward, and the gate binds against the latch post. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
- Salt corrosion on iron hardware and operator wiring. Road salt from Greenburgh’s steep Hudson-facing grades finds its way onto hinge pins, bolt heads, and low-voltage connections. Hinges seize, sensors rot, and the opener starts throwing phantom errors.
- Legacy intercom wiring that doesn’t talk to new openers. The estate gate off Broadway might still run on a 1980s intercom protocol. Swap the operator for a new FAAC or BFT and suddenly the keypad won’t trigger the gate. We trace and adapt the old wiring instead of leaving you with a gate that only opens from the remote.
- Fatigued welds on heavy ornamental panels. A 90-year-old wrought iron gate flexes more than it should. The bottom rail weld cracks, the gate sags, and the safety photocell loses alignment. We weld the crack and realign the beam so the opener closes cleanly without false trips.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Greenburgh, NY
Gate parts and welding in Greenburgh is priced by the job, not by the hour. Hinge replacement typically runs $180 to $340 per hinge pair on a standard swing gate. Post replacement runs $450 to $900 when you’re digging out and resetting a single footing; add masonry to match original bluestone and you’re closer to $800 to $1,400. Custom welding starts around $150 for a small scroll or bracket repair and goes up with the fabrication involved. A full bottom-rail weld repair on a heavy estate gate usually runs $350 to $700. We confirm the number before any work starts. You’ll never get a surprise invoice at the door. Call (877) 610-2993 for an exact quote.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Greenburgh
The hinge failure starts in the post footing, not the panel. In Irvington and the surrounding Greenburgh river corridor, original bluestone and brick pillars have settled or heaved over decades of freeze-thaw cycles. The post leans a few degrees, the hinge takes the full weight of the gate, and the pin or strap fails. We replace the hinge and reset the post footing at the same time, because replacing one without the other means you’ll be calling again next spring. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll come look at it for free.
Yes. We hand-fabricate replacement scrolls, pickets, and hinge straps to match the original pattern and patina. We’ve done it on estate drives throughout the Irvington ZIP 10533, where the original ironwork is often irreplaceable and the right fix is a weld and a match, not a swap. The new piece gets welded in, ground smooth, and finished so the repair disappears into the original work. Call us for a free quote on matching any existing piece.
Yes. Many Greenburgh estate gates still run on proprietary intercom and entry protocols from the 1980s and 1990s. A new operator won’t trigger from those keypads without adapting the wiring with Gate Access Control in Greenburgh. We trace the old circuits, identify the protocol, and wire the new operator so your keypad, intercom, and loop detector all talk to it. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. Call (877) 610-2993 for an assessment before you buy any equipment.
Yes. Any automated gate in New York needs entrapment protection: safety photocells, a reversing edge or obstruction sensing, and proper spacing to prevent pinch points. When we weld and rehang a heavy estate gate in Greenburgh, we install or verify all of that before the opener goes back into service. A 400-pound gate closing on its own can do real harm. Call us and we’ll make sure yours is safe and code compliant before we leave.
Yes. Steep grades put extra load on the rollers and the drive chain, especially when road salt gets into the track. We replace worn rollers, straighten bent track, and repair or replace the drive mechanism on site. We also check the safety edges and loop detectors, which false-trip more often on sloped driveways. Call (877) 610-2993 for a free estimate. We’ll quote the number before any work starts.
