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

Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his name is on the shop and every invoice. Plano homeowners tend to know exactly what they’re dealing with: an estate gate that weighs 800 pounds, an HOA with paperwork, and a repair company that may or may not show up. We answer the phone around the clock, show up in the window we promised, and we provide our Gate Parts & Welding in Plano on site so your gate stays in your driveway.

Plano is one of the heaviest gate-repair markets in the DFW metro, and we’ve been working its neighborhoods long enough to know the difference between a 1990s operator failing in east Plano and a high-torque commercial unit running fine in the Willow Bend area. Read through our Gate Repair service page to see the full scope of what we handle. For this page, the focus is on Plano specifically: the soil, the HOAs, the housing age, and the brands that show up again and again.

Our Gate Repair Services in Plano

Most Plano gate failures fall into one of four categories. Here’s what each repair actually involves and what you can expect to pay in this market.

Electric Gate Repair

Plano Gate Motor & Opener failures come in two waves: the control boards and capacitors on 1990s units in east Plano ZIPs, and the high-torque commercial units on six-figure west Plano installations that simply wear out from daily cycling. We diagnose on site, carry boards and capacitors for the most common brands in our trucks, and won’t pad a job by replacing a working component. A typical electric gate repair in Plano runs $180 to $380.

Automatic Gate Repair

Automatic gates in Plano have an extra layer of complexity: Gate Access Control in Plano with loop detectors buried in the driveway, photocells at the columns, and sometimes intercom or keypad integration tied to the house. When a gate opens but won’t close, or closes but won’t stop, the problem is usually a sensor or a limit switch, not the motor. We recalibrate or replace the failing component rather than quoting you a full operator swap. Expect $160 to $420 depending on whether it’s a sensor, a board, or a full operator replacement.

Hinge & Post Repair

This is the repair Plano’s soil makes almost inevitable. Black clay expands in wet months and contracts in drought, and over 20 or 30 years that slow heave tilts hinge posts just enough to throw a gate out of plumb. A sagging gate is almost never the panel itself; it’s the post and the hinges. We cut out the old footing, set a new post in concrete sized for Plano’s soil movement, and weld on new hinges so the gate hangs square. Hinge and post work in Plano typically runs $250 to $550 depending on post size and whether custom fabrication is required.

Gate Realignment

Realignment can mean adjusting hinges, repositioning the operator arm, or resetting the track on a slide gate. In Plano, we often see gates that were never set correctly for the slope of the driveway, and the owner has been fighting the operator for years. We square the gate, level the operator, and verify the closing force so the gate doesn’t bind. A realignment usually falls between $150 and $300.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plano

We service and stock parts for the brands Plano homeowners actually have. That includes DoorKing on a lot of 1990s and 2000s estate gates, Elite on west Plano’s heavier ornamental setups, Viking on slide gates along the Legacy corridor and around 75024, and we offer Liftmaster repair in Plano as well. We keep common control boards and capacitors in the truck, which means fewer second trips and faster turnaround when your gate is down.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Plano Homes

• Clay-soil post tilt. Plano sits on the Blackland Prairie, and its black clay moves dramatically through wet-dry cycles. A post that was perfectly plumb in 1995 is tilted just enough today to make a 600-pound gate drag.
• Clustered operator failures in east Plano HOAs. Homes built in the late 1980s to mid-1990s got automatic gate operators that are now reaching end-of-life at the same time. When one board fails, three more in the same neighborhood are usually weeks behind it.
• HOA-forced custom fabrication. In west Plano’s 75093 and 75024 corridors, architectural review committees routinely require repairs to match the original powder-coat color and picket profile. A stock panel won’t pass, so gates stay sagging until custom fabrication is done.
• Sagging ornamental iron panels. The heavier the gate, the faster a failing hinge post shows it. West Plano’s estate gates are often 700 to 900 pounds of wrought iron and aluminum, and once a post shifts, the whole panel twists.
