AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Revere
Gate parts and welding in Revere usually means one of two things: a hinge or post that has finally let go after decades of ocean salt, or a weld that cracked when the ground froze and heaved. Our crew handles both, on site, in your driveway. If you’re off Shirley Avenue, over by the Point of Pines, or anywhere in the 02151, we’ll be there fast with the right steel and the right hardware. Call (877) 610-2993 and a live person picks up, any hour.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Revere’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood opened this shop in 2001 because he kept seeing gates that had been replaced when they should have been repaired. That philosophy has not changed. We repair what other companies want to rip out. The name is on the shop, the address is published, and the license number is there for anyone to look up. That is the oldest accountability there is.
Revere homeowners call us because we know this city’s gates the way only someone local can. A leaning hinge post on a 1950s triple-decker near Revere Street is not a mystery to us. We have reset dozens of them. We know that a gate three blocks from Revere Beach Boulevard lives in salt air every single day, and we spec hardware accordingly. When the person who shows up knows the difference between a Winthrop lot and an Everett lot, you get better work.
We stock common parts for LiftMaster, DoorKing, and Viking operators so we are not waiting on a week-long shipment when your gate will not close. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not right, one call brings us back. No runaround.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Revere
Hinge Replacement
Hinges on Revere gates live a hard life. Between the salt spray off Massachusetts Bay and the road salt that gets kicked up all winter, a mild steel hinge can rust through in a few seasons. We replace worn or cracked hinges with stainless or galvanized hardware as a baseline on this side of the city, not as an upsell. A hinge replacement usually runs $180 to $320 per hinge, depending on the size of the gate and whether the post needs reinforcement while we are in there.
Post Replacement
When a gate sags, it sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That is where we start. Revere’s freeze-thaw cycle heaves posts set in shallow footings, and the concrete or brick piers on those old triple-deckers are often crumbling at the base. We dig out the old footing, set a deeper one, and weld in a replacement post with brackets that will not let go. Expect $450 to $900 for a typical residential post replacement in Revere, including concrete work.
Rail Repair
Bent or rusted rails on sliding gates near Revere Beach Boulevard will bind against the rollers and stall the operator. We straighten or replace rails, align the track, and check the rack and pinion teeth for wear caused by a gate running out of true. Rail repair typically runs $250 to $550, less if we can cut out and weld a fresh section rather than replacing the whole run.
Custom Welding
Some Revere gates were built before any modern safety standard existed, and some were welded by hand fifty years ago by a previous owner. When the original steel is still sound, we weld on site, right in your driveway. Cracked welds at the post base, broken pickets, a latch plate that tore loose. We bring the welder to you. Custom welding jobs start around $180 for a single repair and go up based on what we find when we grind back the rust.

Trusted Brands We Service in Revere
We repair nine major gate brands, and around Revere we see a lot of Viking, DoorKing, and Ghost Controls operators, especially on the newer condo developments along Revere Beach Boulevard and the older slide gates in the Point of Pines. We keep common control boards and safety edges for these brands in local stock so a repair does not drag on for weeks. If you have an older Linear or a LiftMaster that has been there since the 1990s, we can usually source or retrofit parts same week. Before you replace the whole unit, call us. A lot of legacy operators just need a board, a limit switch, or a set of batteries that never got changed.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Revere Homes
- Internally corroded control boards near the beach. Within a half-mile of Revere Beach Boulevard, salt-humid air gets inside operator enclosures and eats circuit boards from the inside. Symptoms are intermittent keypad entry, ghost loop-detector triggers, and a gate that will not respond to a remote until you stand right next to it. We spec sealed enclosures for any board we install in this zone.
- Sagging swing gates from rusted hinges and worn posts. The old single-car driveway gates on Revere’s two- and three-families were hung on hinges that were undersized the day they were installed. Sixty years of salt later, the gate binds against the operator and the post base cracks. Fix the panel without the post and you will fix it twice.
- Post footings heaved by freeze-thaw cycles. Revere winters push and pull at anything set in less than 30 inches of concrete. Slide gates that jump teeth, swing gates that drag on the striker side, welds that crack at the base every other season. Deeper footings and better drainage are the fix, not another bead of weld over a cracked one.
- Rollers that wear out fast in the salt zone. Gate rollers near the ocean eat bearings. The salt works into the seals, the grease fails, and the wheel seizes. Then the gate grinds the flat spot into the wheel and the operator runs hot trying to move a gate that will not move. Sealed stainless rollers are the answer near the beach.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Revere
Almost certainly yes. Boards in slide gate systems within a half-mile of Revere Beach Boulevard corrode internally from salt-humid air intrusion, something gate contractors working only inland in places like Malden or Medford rarely diagnose. The fix is not another factory board in the same open enclosure. We replace the board, spec a sealed enclosure, and often add a small desiccant pack for the humid months. Call (877) 610-2993 and we will diagnose it on site.
Sometimes, but we will tell you the truth about what we find. If the post is still set firmly and the crack is in the hinge leaf or the weld itself, yes, we can grind it out and re-weld on site, usually for under $250. If the post is rusted through at the base or moving in the footing, welding the hinge back on just moves the failure point. Revere posts set shallow in old concrete are a common culprit. We will show you the gate closing on its own and show you where it is failing before we quote anything.
If your operator predates UL 325, it likely has only a reversing edge, and that is not enough for a gate that serves a Revere driveway where kids and delivery drivers walk. Yes, photo-eyes are the standard now. We retrofit entrapment protection on legacy gates all the time, adding safety photocells and, where needed, a new control board that supports them. It is a half-day job in most cases and runs $450 to $800 depending on the operator. Call (877) 610-2993 for a look.
Because the ocean air is relentless. Salt spray works into the bearing seals, the grease emulsifies, and the bearing seizes. Then the wheel flats and grinds. Inland suburbs do not see this failure mode at anywhere near the same rate. We replace stock rollers with sealed stainless units on any gate within a half-mile of the water. A two-roller replacement on a typical Revere slide gate runs $260 to $450 including track alignment.
Yes. We dig beside the existing post, brace the gate in place, break out the old footing, set a deeper one, and weld the post back solid with stainless brackets. The gate stays in your driveway the whole time. Most Revere post resets run $450 to $800 and take one day. Call (877) 610-2993 and Hal will be there himself, or you can drive to the shop and look him in the eye.
