If your gate in Tuckahoe is sagging, scraping the side-yard walk, or rusted through at the rail, we can usually fix it the same week, often the same day. Most hinge replacements run $160-$290, post resets run $340-$680, and custom welding repairs run $120-$400 depending on the crack. Call (877) 610-2993 and you’ll get Hal or someone who works directly with him, not a phone tree.
We’ve been fixing gates in Tuckahoe long enough to know this village has its own set of problems. The Bronx River runs right through it. The lots are narrow. The gates are old. When a post tilts after a heavy rain or a hinge anchor pulls loose from a cracked brick pillar, that’s not a generic gate problem. It’s a Tuckahoe problem, and it needs someone who knows the ground here.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Tuckahoe’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood started this shop in 2001 and never turned it into a franchise. The name is on the building, the address is published, and the license number is public record. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a dispatcher in another state. If Hal says he’ll be at your place off Columbus Avenue or near the Fisher Avenue bridge on Thursday morning, he means it.
Our Tuckahoe customers tend to be homeowners who’ve had a national company quote one price on the phone and show up with a completely different invoice. That doesn’t happen here. The price we quote is the price you pay, agreed before any work starts. And every job, whether it’s a hinge replacement on a Gate Parts & Welding repair or a full post reset, carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, Hal comes back. No runaround, no fine print.
We answer calls 24/7 from Tuckahoe because a gate that won’t close at 9pm is a problem that can’t wait until morning. You call, Hal picks up, and you get a straight answer about when we can be there.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Tuckahoe
These are the four repairs we do most often in Tuckahoe. All of them are done on-site, in your driveway, with the gate still attached to the property. We don’t haul anything to a shop unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Hinge Replacement
Old wrought-iron gates in Tuckahoe almost always sag at the hinge, not in the middle. Hinges wear out, hinge anchors loosen inside mortar joints, and the whole panel drops. We replace hinges with heavier-duty hardware than what was originally installed, and we shim and re-anchor the hinge plate so the gate swings level again. On narrow side-yard gates common to prewar homes near the Harlem Line, this is the difference between a gate that clears the walk and one that scrapes every time you push it.
Post Replacement
This is the big one in Tuckahoe, especially on streets close to the Bronx River. The original posts were set in shallow concrete footings poured decades ago into silty river-corridor soil. When the ground saturates, the footing shifts, the post tilts, and the gate goes out of plumb. We dig out the old footing, set the new post deeper, and pour fresh concrete with proper drainage so it stays put. A post replacement in Tuckahoe typically runs $340-$680 depending on whether it’s a steel post in concrete or a masonry pillar that needs rebuilding.
Rail Repair
Original wrought-iron rails on 1920s and 1930s gates rust through faster near the Bronx River because of persistent ground moisture and humidity. We cut out the rotted section and weld in new steel, then dress the weld so it matches the original profile. If the rail has been cracked from wind load or a car bump, we weld the fracture and add a reinforcing plate where it won’t be seen.
Custom Welding
When a gate has a broken picket, a cracked frame, or a hinge ear that snapped, custom welding is the fix. We weld on-site with a mobile rig, so the gate never leaves your property. Most custom welding jobs in Tuckahoe run $120-$400. If you need a gate modified to fit a different opening, or a new bracket fabricated to match old hardware, we do that too.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tuckahoe
We stock parts and service Gatewood Fence & Gate’s full brand lineup, but for Tuckahoe customers the ones we see most on automatic gates are Linear, Viking, and DoorKing. If you have an older Linear actuator that’s lost travel, or a Viking control board throwing error codes, we carry or can source replacement parts quickly. Same for Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule swing arm kits. We keep common hinge sets, rollers, and latch hardware on the truck, which means fewer return trips and less waiting.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Tuckahoe Homes
- Post footings tilting in river-corridor soil. Streets near the Bronx River sit on silty, flood-prone ground. The original shallow footings from the 1920s through 1950s construction boom shift after heavy rain, throwing swing gates out of plumb. We reset them deeper and with better drainage than the original pour.
- Freeze-thaw cracking in masonry pillars. Tuckahoe gets 30-plus freeze-thaw cycles a winter. Water seeps into hairline cracks in brick gate pillars, freezes, expands, and widens the crack. Hinge anchors loosen, and the gate sags or pulls away from the post. We rebuild the mortar bed around the anchor and often add a steel plate to spread the load.
- Rust through on original wrought-iron rails and pickets. Persistent ground saturation and river humidity accelerate corrosion on iron gates in Tuckahoe at a rate you won’t see in drier nearby towns. A rail that looks fine in spring can show rust-through by fall. We cut out and weld in new steel, then prime and paint the repair.
- Wind load stress on solid infill gates. After a nor’easter or strong fall storm, solid-panel gates take enormous lateral force. Weld points crack, hinge bolts shear, and posts shift. We reinforce the frame and sometimes add a wind gap if the panel is solid and the exposure is bad.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Tuckahoe
The original footings under most prewar and early postwar gate posts in Tuckahoe were poured shallow, often less than two feet deep, into silty river-corridor soil that holds water. When the ground saturates, the footing shifts or sinks, and the post tilts. This is a localized failure mode tied to the Bronx River floodplain. The fix is a deeper footing with better drainage, not just re-plumbing the post. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll take a look, no charge for the estimate.
Almost never. The sag is usually a worn hinge or a tilted hinge post, not a failed gate panel. After a late-winter nor’easter, our crew reset a sagging swing gate on a prewar Harlem Line commuter house near the Bronx River. The original hinge post had tilted in saturated ground, so we replaced the corroded LiftMaster-compatible hinges, welded a crack in the ornamental rail, and poured a deeper post footing before re-hanging the panel. It clears the side yard and swings true now. That’s a repair, not a replacement, and it ran about $500 total. Call (877) 610-2993 for a free estimate on yours.
Every automatic gate opener has a manual release mechanism, usually a keyed or pull-handle release on the operator arm. Disengage it and you can push the gate open by hand. If you don’t know where your release is, don’t force the gate. Forced operation against a locked actuator will strip the gears and turn a power outage into a costly repair. Call
Proximity to the Bronx River means persistent humidity and, on lower-lying streets, actual floodwater contact at the base of the gate. Rust starts inside the hollow sections and at the weld joints, then bleeds through the paint. Unless you strip to bare metal, treat with a rust converter, and prime with a zinc-rich primer before painting, the rust comes back within a season. We do proper rust treatment as part of any welding repair in Tuckahoe. Call
Yes, if the gate swings or slides across a walkway or driveway, a safety photocell is required to stop and reverse the gate if someone or something is in the path. Older gates on Tuckahoe’s narrow side yards often had the photocell removed or never installed. It’s a safety device, not an upgrade. We install and align photocells as part of any automatic gate service. Getting a gate secured and working again after severe weather is the priority, but safety edges and photocells are never optional. Call (877) 610-2993. Hal answers the phone, and the price he quotes is the price on the invoice. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road.

What Tuckahoe Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across Tuckahoe and surrounding areas.
"The fence is excellent and it was fairly priced. He is not quick to answer email, so if you need him, ring. He always picks up the phone."
"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
"He builds the gates himself in his own shop. You can go and look at it. That is not something you can say about the outfits that just order a panel in."
