AfterTrusted Gate Parts & Welding for Fort Worth Homeowners
Our Gate Parts & Welding in Fort Worth covers everything from a sagging hinge to a broken weld on a steel post, and most repairs take less than a day once we’re on site. Ironworks Gate Co. has been doing this work since 1984, and we show up with a truck stocked for exactly what your gate needs: replacement hinges, rollers, latch hardware, and a mobile welding rig that can handle anything from a gate frame crack to a full post replacement. Call (817) 562-7979 and a live person answers, any hour of any day.
We’ve worked on thousands of driveway gates across Tarrant County, from Mira Vista and Monticello to Benbrook and beyond. Homeowners call us because the gate that has worked for twenty years has finally given out, and they want it fixed once, correctly, and backed in writing. That’s the work we do best.
What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
Hinge Replacement
Gate hinges carry the full weight of the gate, and in Fort Worth’s summer heat and occasional spring storms, they take real punishment. When a hinge wears, you’ll notice the gate dragging on the ground, leaving scrape marks on the concrete, or listing to one side. We assess the hinge size, weight rating, and mounting surface, then replace it with hardware matched to the gate’s actual load, not whatever the last person had in the truck. A weld-on hinge replacement on a steel gate often lasts 15 to 20 years when it is sized correctly.
Post Replacement
In Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil, gate posts shift over time, especially after years of wet and dry cycles. A leaning post is not just a cosmetic problem: it throws off the hinge alignment and forces the gate to fight itself every time it opens. We remove the old post, set the new one in concrete at the correct depth for the gate’s size, and weld or bolt the hinges back with the gate perfectly plumb. In neighborhoods like Wedgwood and Arlington Heights where posts are often set in narrow easements, we work carefully around existing brick, stone, and irrigation lines. We also provide Gate Parts & Welding in Haltom City with the same careful approach.
Rail Repair
The top and bottom rails are the gate’s skeleton, and when one of them bends or cracks, the whole gate loses its geometry. We see rail damage most often after a vehicle contact or years of a sagging hinge putting torque on metal that was never designed for it. Our shop cuts out the damaged section, welds in a new piece of the same gauge, and grinds the repair smooth so it disappears under paint. The result is a gate that holds its shape and closes square again.
Custom Welding
Custom welding is the heart of what Ironworks Gate Co. does, and Victor Salinas has spent four decades making metal do what the customer needs. Whether it is rebuilding a rusted-out section of ornamental iron, extending a gate leaf, fabricating a reinforcement plate, or welding a new latch bracket onto an old steel frame, the work is done in place or in our shop and finished to look like it belongs. A proper weld is not about laying the heaviest bead possible; it is about penetration, fit-up, and knowing how the metal will move under load and heat.
Gate Rollers
Slide gates live and die by their rollers, and in Fort Worth’s gravel driveways and caliche alleys, those rollers collect dust, rocks, and grass clippings that grind them down. When a slide gate starts to shudder, bind, or make a grinding noise, the rollers are usually the first thing to check. We stock steel and nylon rollers in the common sizes, and we replace or rebuild the roller carriers, not just the wheels, because a new roller in a worn carrier fails again in six months. For heavier estate gates, we can upgrade to sealed bearing rollers that last years longer than the originals.
Latch & Lock
A gate that will not latch does not secure anything, and in a city the size of Fort Worth, a gate standing open is an invitation. We repair and replace gravity latches, spring latches, magnetic catches, and keyed locks, including the kind that tie into an existing opener’s lock function. On older ornamental gates with custom hardware, we fabricate latch components from solid stock to match the original, rather than bolting on a shiny aftermarket part that looks wrong from the day it goes on.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
We work on gate hardware and automation systems from every major brand found on Fort Worth driveways, and we have been trained and equipped on the full range of opener and access equipment. With Ghost Controls openers, the most common call we get is a gate that stops mid-travel or a hardware failure on the hinge side that throws the opener’s force settings out of whack. We stock OEM and compatible Ghost Controls parts and we know how their limit programming behaves on a gate that has drifted out of level.
DoorKing systems are common on the larger estate gates in and around Fort Worth, and they are built to run for decades with the right maintenance. When a DoorKing gate is jerking or blowing fuses, the problem is often mechanical, not electrical: a rusted hinge, a collapsed roller, or a weld that failed and put the whole load on the operator. We fix the metal first, then dial in the opener. We also regularly service Elite and Mighty Mule openers, both of which are popular on homeowner-installed gates that now need a professional to make them right. Whatever make is on your driveway, we service it.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
- Your gate sags and drags on the ground. This is the number one sign of worn hinges or a broken top rail, and every day it continues, the gate is bending itself further. Fixing it early usually means replacing hardware; waiting too long means straightening or replacing the frame itself.
- You can see cracks in the welds or the metal around them. A crack that starts as a hairline can become a complete separation in weeks, especially on a gate that sees daily use. Weld cracks are a structural issue, and they should be repaired before the gate fails while someone is walking through it.
- The gate makes a grinding or screeching sound. Metal on metal grinding means a roller, hinge, or bearing is already worn past the point of lubrication. Once metal has begun wearing, adding grease only masks the problem for a few days. The part needs replacement.
- A post has started to lean. Even a few degrees of post movement changes the hinge geometry and puts uneven pressure on every other component. In Fort Worth’s expansive clay soil, this is one of the most common root causes of repeated gate problems.
- The latch no longer catches or the lock has seized. A gate that cannot be secured is not doing its job. Latch repair is usually quick and inexpensive, but ignoring it risks the gate swinging freely in the wind and damaging itself or a vehicle.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Process - Step by Step
- 1
We answer the phone and get the details. A live person takes your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ask about the gate type, what it is doing, and where you are in Fort Worth, then we schedule a time that works for you, often the same day.
- 2
We arrive, look, and measure. Our technician walks the gate, checks the hinges, posts, rollers, latch, and welds, uses a level and a tape, and explains what is wrong in plain language. You will know exactly what needs to happen before we quote anything.
- 3
You get a written price before any work starts. We quote the job up front, and the price you see is the price you pay. No discovery fees, no add-ons, no surprises on the invoice. If you decide to not proceed, that’s fine; the estimate does not cost anything.

We do the work right, on the spot when possible. Most parts and welding jobs are completed in one visit. Our truck carries common hinges, rollers, latch hardware, and a mobile welding setup, so we are not leaving and coming back three times for a job that should take an afternoon.

We walk the finished job with you and back it in writing. Before we leave, we show you the repair, test the gate, and make sure you are satisfied. Then you get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Fort Worth?
A typical hinge replacement on a residential driveway gate in Fort Worth runs $180 to $340 per hinge, depending on the gate weight and whether welding is required. Post replacement usually falls between $450 and $900, which includes removing the old post, setting the new one in concrete, and remounting the gate. Rail repair is typically $200 to $500 depending on the extent of the damage, and custom welding work is quoted by the job, with most single repairs landing between $150 and $600. Full latch and lock replacement is often $120 to $280.
What affects the price is the same everywhere in Fort Worth: the size and weight of the gate, whether the post is in concrete that needs to be removed, access to the work area, and whether the repair requires welding on site or can be done with bolt-on hardware. The best way to avoid overpaying is to work with a company that offers Best Gate Parts & Welding in Fort Worth, TX and quotes a fixed price before any work begins, standing behind the repair with a written guarantee.
