Call (877) 610-2993

We know Keller not as a dot on a map but as a specific set of streets, subdivisions, and soil conditions. Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, the older ranch-style properties west of Pearson Lane toward 377, the big brick-and-iron entrances off Bourland Road. Each one has its own gate story. The common thread is the clay underneath all of it, and that clay wants to move your gate posts around more than most people realize.

Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Keller’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Keller homeowners tend to be particular. They should be. The housing stock here leans upscale, mostly built between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, with ornate wrought iron driveway gates mounted on brick pillars. When one of those gates fails, you don’t want a rotating cast of strangers. You want one person who knows your gate from last time. Hal has been the guy Keller calls since before half these subdivisions were even finished, and our Gate Repair work carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, one call brings him back. No runaround.

Response time to Keller is fast because our crew stages out of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro and rolls into 76244 and 76248 the same day on most repair calls. A live person answers every call, 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not a call center. You get a straight answer about when we’ll be there, and you get a price before the work starts. Every job is quoted and agreed to upfront. If the number changes at the door, that’s not us.

We’ve built our reputation in Keller on showing up and fixing the thing right. Welding on site. Resetting posts that shifted. Re-hanging gates so they close square and true. When another company wants to sell you a whole new gate, we usually find the fix costs a fraction of that. The name is on the shop, and Hal has a published address and license number anyone can look up. That’s the oldest accountability there is.

Our Gate Repair Services in Keller

Hinge & Post Repair

A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That’s where we start. Keller’s Blackland clay swells in wet springs and contracts hard in summer droughts, which torques brick pillar footings out of plumb and stresses hinge welds until something gives. We reset posts with a below-grade concrete collar keyed into undisturbed soil, reweld or replace hinges as needed, and get the gate hanging straight again. Most hinge and post repairs in Keller run $180 to $340.

Gate Realignment

Clay heave and drought cycles in Keller rack gate frames year after year. The gate starts dragging, the latch won’t line up, and the opener strains. We realign by addressing the post first, then the frame, then the operator. Show me a gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing. In Keller, it’s almost always the post or the hinge barrel. Straightening the frame without fixing the post, and you’ll fix it twice. Realignment jobs here typically run $150 to $300 depending on how far the frame has moved.

Electric Gate Repair

We service LiftMaster, Linear, FAAC, BFT, and Viking operators throughout Keller, including the solar and battery units people put on long rural-style driveways where AC mains was never run to the entrance. We fix limit switches, receiver boards, keypads, and the wiring between the house and the gate. If your gate stops halfway and reverses, you don’t need a new opener. You need someone who knows what they’re looking for. Electric gate repair in Keller runs $200 to $475, and the quote is agreed before we touch a tool.

Automatic Gate Repair

Automatic gate failures in Keller usually trace back to three things: a post that has moved, an operator that was under-spec’d for the gate’s weight, or worn internal limit mechanisms. We diagnose all three in one visit and fix what’s actually broken rather than swapping parts that don’t need swapping. When you’ve got a brick pillar with a gate that drags and an operator that groans, the operator often isn’t the problem. We’ll tell you that straight. Automatic gate repair across Keller starts around $250.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keller

We’re certified to service nine major gate brands, and we stock common parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking in our service vehicles so Keller customers aren’t waiting on a parts shipment for routine repairs. Whether your Keller home has an older FAAC hydraulic operator or a Linear unit wired into the entry system, we fix it in place. Most operators under 15 years old are repairable. We’ll give you the truth on whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is actually warranted, and we’ll quote both ways before any work begins.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Keller Homes

• Seasonal post heave. Fort Worth Prairie clay swells every wet spring and drops in late summer, moving brick pillar footings and gate posts just enough to bind swing gates and stress welds. This is the most common Keller gate problem we see, and it repeats unless the post gets a proper below-grade concrete collar to anchor it into undisturbed soil.
• HOA compliance issues after repairs. A mismatched powder-coat finish or a slightly different picket profile can trigger an architectural review notice even when the gate itself works perfectly. We work with Keller homeowners to match original scrollwork profiles and coordinate with HOA committees before visible repairs are finalized.
• Undersized solar openers on long driveways. Out near 377 and on the rural edges of 76248, long entrances often have no AC power, and the solar panels installed with the original opener are too small for a heavy gate. Cloudy stretches drain the battery, and the gate fails. We right-size solar arrays and battery banks for the actual gate weight and span.
• Hinge weld fatigue on ornate ironwork. Keller’s high gate density means lots of intricate wrought iron, and decorative scrollwork doesn’t forgive sloppy welding. The heat from decades of north Texas summers plus the cyclic post movement cracks hinge welds. We weld on site, so the gate stays in your driveway and the profile stays intact.
