AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Tyrone
Gate parts and welding in Tyrone comes down to two things: finding someone who can match the heavy ornamental iron on a 1990s estate gate, and finding someone who understands why that gate suddenly scrapes the driveway. We do both. Gatewood Fence & Gate has been fixing, welding, and rebuilding gates since 2001, and we know Tyrone’s red clay, its freezing rain cycles, and the particular way those brick-column driveway gates fail after twenty years in Fayette County weather. When a hinge post shifts out of plumb, the gate doesn’t just sag, it starts eating operator gears. Call (877) 610-2993 and you’ll get a live person who can tell you what’s wrong before we even drive out.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Tyrone’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop and on every invoice, and his cell number is no secret around Tyrone. That’s how we’ve handled Gate Installation - Tyrone since 2001. Tyrone homeowners call us because the person who quoted the price is the same person who shows up with the welder, and he usually remembers the last gate he fixed on your street. We don’t have a dispatch queue. We have a phone that rings and a person who answers it, 24 hours a day. If your gate won’t close off Highway 74 or near the Kedron Hills subdivision, you’ll talk to someone who knows exactly where that is and how long it takes us to get there.
Every Gate Parts & Welding job we do in Tyrone carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings us back. No runaround, no fine print. We also give a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve gotten from another company, which has saved Tyrone homeowners real money more than a few times, because some outfits quote a full gate replacement when what the gate actually needs is a welded hinge bracket and a re-set post. We’d rather fix the gate in your driveway than sell you one you don’t need.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Tyrone
Most of the gate work we do in Tyrone falls into four categories. Here’s what each one actually involves on a Tyrone property.
Hinge Replacement
On the large-lot estates around Tyrone, gate hinges aren’t the little brass things on your front door. They’re heavy barrel or strap hinges welded to a steel post and a steel gate frame. When clay soil shifts the post and the gate’s swing arc drags, those welded hinge brackets bend and crack. We cut out the old hinge, weld new heavy-gauge steel in place, and set the gate so the gap is even from top to bottom. A hinge replacement in Tyrone runs $280 to $650 depending on gate weight and how much fabrication the bracket needs.
Post Replacement
In Tyrone, post replacement is usually the actual fix, not just a symptom patched. Red Georgia clay expands after every wet season and contracts in dry spells. Over ten or fifteen years, a brick column post that looked plumb at construction tilts enough to bind the gate. We cut the old post or column mounting, re-pour the footer to code depth, weld the new post in, and remount the gate. If the operator was fighting the post, we check the gear assembly at the same time. Post replacement in Tyrone typically costs $900 to $2,400 depending on footer depth, post size, and whether brick columns need rebuilding.
Rail Repair
Swing gates with a top rail and mid rail carry stress unevenly when the post shifts. The top rail can tear at the weld seam where it meets the hinge stile. Slide gates have their own problem: freezing rain in Fayette County adds ice weight that bends the rail and shears rack and pinion teeth. We straighten, splice in new steel, and weld the rail back square. For slide gates with bent racks, we weld a new rack section onto a fresh post set at the correct height. Expect $350 to $900 for typical rail repair in Tyrone.
Custom Welding
This is the work we enjoy most. Tyrone’s housing stock is full of custom ornamental gates built in the 1990s with iron scrollwork, pickets, and finials that don’t come off a shelf. When a section rusts through or a weld seam fails, you can’t order a replacement panel online. We weld new steel to match the existing profile, grind the seams, and prime and paint so the repair disappears. We fabricate new sections, reinforce weak pickets, and build custom mounting plates for operators. Custom welding on a Tyrone home gate usually runs $150 to $500 for smaller repairs, with full panel reconstruction priced after we see the gate.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tyrone
Most Tyrone estate gates run our Gate Motor & Opener in Tyrone units that were installed with the house. We service the brands we see in this area most often: LiftMaster operators on swing gates, Viking gear-driven units on heavier dual-swing systems, and Linear operators on slide gates and long driveways. DoorKing and Ghost Controls show up on newer installs. We keep common replacement parts on the truck, so a bad limit switch or a stripped gear doesn’t mean a two-day wait. When a control board dies, we can usually retrofit a compatible current board into the same housing without tearing out the whole operator. We weld the operator mounting brackets in place, which is something bolted-on hardware can’t match when a gate post shifts a quarter inch each winter.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Tyrone Homes
- Clay-shifted hinge posts bending welded brackets. The post tilts a few degrees, the gate’s swing arc drags against the driveway or the latch side, and the welded brackets take the stress until they crack. Re-setting the post footer is the fix, not filing down the gate bottom.
- Freezing rain shearing rack and pinion teeth on slide gates. Fayette County ice storms coat gates in a layer that adds sudden weight. A slide gate with an ice-loaded rail can shear teeth right off the rack, and the gate stops mid-travel.
- Humidity rusting weld seams at hinge posts on 1990s brick-column gates. The original welds on those 25-year-old ornamental gates were done before modern primer systems. Summer humidity in Tyrone works into the exposed seams, and suddenly the gate sags at the hinge even though the post is fine.
- Stripped gear assemblies from operators fighting tilted posts. An operator’s gear train is designed to move the gate, not to overcome a post that’s 3 inches out of plumb. When the post shifts in the clay, the gear assembly strips while the homeowner assumes the operator failed. That’s why we check the post before we replace the operator.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Tyrone
We cut the post at the footer, jack the gate and post back to plumb, re-pour the concrete footer around the post at code depth, and weld new brace plates before the concrete sets so the post can’t shift again. In Tyrone we routinely find posts 3 to 4 inches out of plumb and we treat the footer, not just the visible post, as the root cause. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll look at the post and quote you the re-set.
Yes. We weld new steel to match the existing picket profile, scrollwork, and spacing, then grind and prime so the repair matches the original panel. Tyrone has hundreds of custom ornamental gates from the 1990s buildout, and most of them were hand-fabricated, so matching the section is part welding skill and part knowing the local gate styles. Call for a free estimate on matching the rusted section.
A slip clutch will save the gear assembly, because it disengages the motor when the gate hits resistance rather than stripping the gears. Operators without a slip clutch, which includes a lot of original 1990s units in Tyrone, chew through gear assemblies when freezing rain adds weight to the gate panels. We recommend the clutch on every heavy swing gate we retrofit. Call
Every two years is a sensible interval on a Tyrone property, because the clay soil movement and summer humidity stress weld seams even when the gate looks fine. If you see rust weeping from a hinge weld or the gate sags at the hinge side, have it inspected sooner. A cracked weld is cheap. A welded bracket that tears the gate frame apart is not. Call us and we’ll put you on a two-year check, or just come out when the gate starts acting stubborn.
Yes. We remove the bent rack, set and weld a new post at the correct drive height, and weld a new rack section onto it matched to the pinion. In Tyrone we see bent racks on slide gates after ice events or after a post shifted in clay and dragged the rack. If the pinion gear has worn teeth, we replace that at the same time so the new rack isn’t chewed up. Call

What Tyrone Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across Tyrone and surrounding areas.
"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
"Hundred and forty feet of cedar privacy fence, all posts set in concrete, all of it dead level on ground that is anything but. He walked the line with me twice before a single hole was dug."
"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
