What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
Hinge Replacement
Gate hinges bear the full weight of your gate every time it opens or closes, and in Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soils, posts shift and stress hinges beyond their design limits. You’ll know hinges are failing when the gate drags, squeals, or develops a visible sag that worsens after rain. Dennis and his team remove the damaged hinge, assess whether the post itself has twisted, and install a replacement rated for your gate’s actual weight — not a generic hardware-store hinge that’ll fail in six months.
Post Replacement
A leaning or rotted gate post is a structural failure that no amount of hinge adjustment can fix, and Fort Worth’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate concrete degradation around post bases. We excavate the failed post, pour a new concrete footing below the frost line, and set a steel or pressure-treated replacement sized to your gate’s span and wind load. Because we weld on-site, we can fabricate custom post caps and bracketry that match your existing gate rather than forcing a mismatched solution.
Rail Repair
The horizontal rails of a gate frame carry the load across the opening, and when they bend or crack — often from vehicle impact or rust at weld points — the entire gate goes out of square. We straighten minor rail deflections with hydraulic equipment and cut out and re-weld sections where the metal has thinned from corrosion. Our mobile welding rig means your gate stays on its hinges during most rail repairs, eliminating the cost and hassle of temporary removal.
Custom Welding
Not every gate problem has an off-the-shelf fix, especially on older Fort Worth properties with ornamental ironwork or custom-fabricated estate gates. Dennis Price performs stick, MIG, and TIG welding in the field, building brackets, reinforcing weak joints, and fabricating missing decorative elements to match existing patterns. This in-house capability separates us from competitors who must haul your gate to a separate shop and add markup to the metalwork.
Gate Rollers
Sliding gates depend on rollers that track smoothly through debris, temperature swings, and the grit that blows across Fort Worth’s open terrain. When rollers seize, flat-spot, or lose their bearings, the gate motor strains, draws excess amperage, and eventually burns out. We stock V-groove, cantilever, and overhead trolley rollers for common track profiles, and we can machine custom axles or brackets when your gate uses a discontinued size.
Latch & Lock
A gate that closes but doesn’t latch reliably is a security gap, not a working gate — and Fort Worth’s building inspectors will flag non-latching pool gates or HOA entrances during code reviews. We replace worn latches, install electric strike plates compatible with your access control system, and align magnetic locks on commercial-grade installations. For properties with Ghost Controls or DoorKing operators, we ensure the latch mechanism integrates cleanly with the automatic close sequence.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
We’ve serviced hundreds of LiftMaster gate operators and stock their OEM hinge kits, roller brackets, and weld-on actuator mounts — critical when a Fort Worth homeowner’s LA400 swing gate develops frame stress from the operator’s torque. Our experience with FAAC and BFT systems means we understand the European mounting standards these Italian brands use, so we fabricate adapter brackets rather than forcing incompatible hardware. Linear and Viking operators are common on commercial properties across Fort Worth, and we keep their specific post-mount dimensions and reinforcement plates in our field reference library.
For residential properties, we’ve diagnosed and repaired structural issues on Ghost Controls solar swing gates — where lightweight aluminum frames need careful welding to avoid warping — and on DoorKing slide gate systems with heavy-duty steel carriers that demand precise roller alignment. Elite and Mighty Mule installations often come to us after DIY attempts at hinge or post repair have compromised the gate geometry; we cut out the amateur welds and rebuild to factory spec. Whether you have one of these nine brands or any other make, we can source or fabricate the parts your gate needs.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
- Visible cracks in welds or frame joints. Hairline cracks in gate welds propagate fast under cyclic loading, and in Fort Worth’s climate, moisture enters the crack, accelerates rust, and turns a $200 weld repair into a full rail replacement. If you can see daylight through a weld or the paint is flaking along a joint line, the metal is already moving independently.
- The gate drags or scrapes the ground. A gate that didn’t drag last season but does now has either suffered hinge elongation, post settlement, or rail sag — all structural issues that welding or parts replacement can fix before the motor or operator fails from overwork.
- Unusual grinding or popping sounds during operation. Metal-on-metal contact means a roller has seized, a hinge pin has walked out, or a weld has broken and allowed components to shift. Continuing to operate the gate will damage the operator and potentially the gate frame itself.
- The gate won’t latch consistently. Latch misalignment often signals post movement or frame distortion, not just a worn latch mechanism. Forcing the latch accelerates wear on the strike plate and can bend the latch arm, adding cost to what began as a simple adjustment.
- Rust bleeding through paint at joints or welds. Fort Worth’s humidity spikes after spring storms and winter ice events trap moisture inside hollow steel frames. Surface rust is cosmetic; rust at welds indicates the protective coating has failed at the most stress-critical point, and the weld’s integrity is compromised.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Process — Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis on arrival. Dennis Price inspects the gate’s operation, checks operator error codes if present, and uses a digital level and measuring tape to quantify sag, twist, or post lean. We photograph damage for your records and our parts reference.
- 2
Transparent estimate. We explain which parts need replacement, which can be welded in place, and what caused the failure so it doesn’t recur. You’ll get a written estimate with line-item pricing before any work begins — no surprises, no pressure.
- 3
Parts fabrication or sourcing. For standard items like rollers, hinges, or latches, we stock common sizes on our service vehicle. For custom brackets, post caps, or ornamental repairs, Dennis fires up the mobile welder and fabricates to match your gate’s existing geometry.
- 4
Structural repair and welding. We cut out failed metal, prep joints to bare steel, and weld with processes matched to the base metal — stainless TIG for ornamental work, flux-core MIG for heavy structural repairs in windy Fort Worth conditions. Every weld is ground smooth and primed against corrosion.
- 5
Operational testing and alignment. We cycle the gate through its full range, verify latch engagement from multiple approach angles, and confirm the operator’s force settings remain within safe limits. You sign off only when the gate operates as it should.
How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Fort Worth?
A typical hinge replacement in Fort Worth runs $180–$280 including parts and labor, while post replacement with new concrete footing ranges from $450–$650 depending on depth and soil conditions. Rail repair with field welding generally falls between $220–$400, and custom fabrication for ornamental or specialty brackets starts around $300 and scales with complexity. Gate roller replacement runs $160–$260 per roller assembly, and latch or lock work ranges from $140–$320 depending on whether we’re aligning existing hardware or installing electric strikes integrated with access control.
Several factors move these numbers: gate material (aluminum requires different welding processes than steel), accessibility (gates buried in landscaping take longer to reach), and whether the operator or access control system needs recalibration after structural repair. The best way to avoid overpaying is getting a detailed, itemized estimate upfront — which we provide free. Call (855) 914-8517 for an exact quote; estimates are free and carry no obligation.
