AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Munford
When a gate sags, a hinge snaps, or an opener quits in Munford, you need someone who knows exactly what Tipton County clay does to a post set in it. We’re Gatewood Fence & Gate, and we’ve been welding and repairing gate hardware in this part of Tennessee since 2001. Hal Gatewood owns the shop, his name is on every invoice, and he’ll tell you the same thing he tells every Munford customer: we fix the gate in your driveway, not haul it off to a shop. Call (877) 610-2993 and a live person answers, day or night. Not a voicemail, not a menu tree. A person who knows gates.
If you’re in Munford near the high school, out along Munford Giltedge Road, or in one of the newer subdivisions off US-51, we’ll be there fast. This is our backyard. We know the gates in these neighborhoods, and we know what fails on them.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Munford’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood started this business with one truck and a welder, and he still shows up on jobs himself. That matters in Munford, where a handshake still means something. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround, no fine print, no “we’ll send someone out next week.”
We service Munford’s two very different types of properties with our Gate Installation - Munford expertise, because we’ve lived alongside them for decades. On one street you have a 2000s subdivision home with an ornamental iron driveway gate and a builder-grade opener. A mile down a county road, you have a working farm with a 16-foot tubular steel swing gate on wooden posts. We work on both. We keep parts on the truck for both. That is not true of most gate companies that show up in Munford.
Every call to Munford is answered by a live person around the clock. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed. And we are certified to service nine major gate brands, including Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing. If you have a gate problem in Munford, we have seen it before and we probably have the part to fix it today.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Munford
Our Gate Parts & Welding team handles everything from a seized roller to a complete post rebuild. Here is what most Munford homeowners call us for:
Hinge Replacement
In Munford’s older rural parcels, heavy swing gates hang on welded strap hinges that eventually crack at the weld. In the subdivisions, ornamental iron gates use barrel hinges that seize when the post shifts and the gate starts binding. We cut the old hinge, weld the new one in place, and make sure the gate swings true before we leave. If the hinge post is the problem, we fix that too, not just the hinge.
Post Replacement
Tipton County’s heavy clay is the real story here. Wet winters make it swell. Dry summers make it shrink. That cycle pushes concrete-set posts out of plumb and eventually splits wooden posts at the base. We dig out the old footing, set the new post deeper and wider, and weld or bolt the gate back on. “A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle” is something Hal says on nearly every Munford call. It is the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair you call about again in a year.
Rail Repair
A bent or rusted rail on a swing or slide gate will tear up rollers, strain the opener, and eventually weld the gate into the wrong position. We straighten or replace rails on both ornamental and farm-style gates in Munford, and we match the weld work to whatever the gate was originally built with. If you have an automated gate grinding along its rail, call us before the opener burns out too.
Custom Welding
Some things cannot be bought off a shelf. A farm gate with a broken cross brace. An ornamental iron gate with a custom scroll that rusted through. A driveway gate that needs a new mount plate because the old one cracked. We weld on the truck, in your driveway, in Munford. We do not haul your gate to a shop in Memphis unless it is genuinely beyond roadside repair. Most jobs we finish same-day, on-site.

Trusted Brands We Service in Munford
Munford’s subdivision boom in the 2000s and 2010s left a lot of matching hardware: Munford Gate Motor & Opener units like LiftMaster and US Automatic swing gate openers on ornamental iron gates. We are certified on LiftMaster, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and four more major brands. More importantly, we keep common circuit boards, arm assemblies, and weld fittings on the truck for that generation of hardware. If your gate operator in Munford is one of the hundreds of builder-grade units hitting its 15-20 year service wall, we can usually have it running the same day we show up. No waiting on a part from Memphis.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Munford Homes
- Builder-grade operators failing at the same time. Hundreds of LiftMaster and US Automatic units went in during Munford’s mid-2000s building wave. Circuit boards are now dying on the same schedule across whole subdivisions off Munford Giltedge Road and along Campground Road. We stock those boards locally.
- Clay-heaved hinge posts and twisted frames. The same soil that cracks driveways also moves gate posts. A post shifts, the gate hangs up on the latch side, and then a hinge cracks or a weld pops. Fix the post and the hinge together, or you’ll fix it twice. We do both in one visit.
- Missing conduit runs for later automation. A lot of Munford subdivision gates were installed manual, and the builder never roughed in power or low-voltage conduit. Adding an opener now means surface-run conduit or a trench across the driveway. We handle it, and we make it look like it was planned from the start.
- Ice storm damage to gate arms and hinges. When a West Tennessee ice storm hits, gates freeze in the closed position and automated arm openers bend under the load. We see it every few winters in Munford. After the thaw, hinges are often snapped on the heavier farm gates too. Call us and we’ll weld it back better than it was.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Munford, TN
Gate parts and welding prices in Munford run a predictable range. Hinge replacement on a single ornamental iron gate typically runs $180-$340, depending on how many hinges and whether the post needs re-setting. A full post replacement with new concrete footing and re-welding runs $450-$900 on most Munford properties. Custom welding work is billed at $95-$140 per hour plus materials, and a typical farm gate repair runs $250-$600. Rail repair on a slide gate usually lands between $300 and $750.
We quote the price before any work starts, in writing, and we don’t come back at the door with a higher number. That is not how Hal does business. Every repair over $200 takes $40 off, there is no trip charge inside the county, and seniors and veterans get 10% off permanently. You also get a free second opinion on any written estimate from another company. Call (877) 610-2993 for an exact quote on your Munford gate, and we’ll schedule a time to come look.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Munford
Munford’s mid-2000s subdivision boom installed hundreds of nearly identical LiftMaster and US Automatic swing gate operators, and those units are now hitting the 15-20 year mark where circuit boards fail, weld points fatigue, and hinge pins seize. It is not your gate specifically. It is the entire generation of hardware going through the same wear cycle at the same time across Munford’s newer neighborhoods. We stock the common parts for that hardware, so we can often repair same-day instead of waiting on an order from Memphis. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll tell you what we carry for your opener.
Yes, and we do it regularly. The challenge in Munford subdivisions is that the original builder usually did not rough in power or conduit for future automation. We handle that by running surface or trenched conduit and properly mounting the operator on a reinforced post, not the flimsy one that came with the gate. In a Munford subdivision off Munford Giltedge Road, we recently brought an ornamental iron gate online with Gate Access Control in Munford, installing a new operator after reinforcing the post and repairing the rail. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll measure your gate and give you a written price before any work begins.
The hinge post has heaved out of plumb in Tipton County clay. That clay swells through wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, pushing the concrete footing of the post until the gate frame twists and binds against the latch. The panel looks straight because the panel is fine. The post is the problem. We dig out the old footing, set a new one deeper and wider, and weld the gate back into alignment. Skip the post and you’ll fix the gate again in another year or two. Call (877) 610-2993 for an estimate on a post reset in Munford.
Automated gates in Munford fall under the same UL 325 safety standard as anywhere in Tennessee: they need working safety edges or photo eyes so they stop and reverse if a person or vehicle is in the way. High-tension springs and cables on a gate carry the same risk as a garage door spring, and we do not recommend adjusting them yourself. Our Gate Parts & Welding team checks the safety devices, spring tension, and stop points on every automated gate repair we do. If your gate closes too hard or doesn’t reverse properly, call us. It is a safety issue, not a convenience issue.
For Munford specifically, we stock circuit boards, arm assemblies, hinge pins, roller wheels, and weld fittings for the LiftMaster LA400, US Automatic, and similar units that went into Munford subdivisions during the 2000s boom. We also carry the heavier hinge hardware and post brackets for the farm-style gates out on the rural parcels. That means when we show up in Munford, we usually have the part on hand to finish the repair same-day rather than ordering and coming back. Call (877) 610-2993 and ask what we have for your specific gate.
