A gate that won’t close in Benbrook is not a small annoyance. It’s a security gap on a property you’ve cared for over decades, and around the lake-adjacent streets it’s a problem that worsens fast. If your gate is sagging, grinding, or dead at the keypad, call Ironworks Gate Co. at (817) 562-7979. We answer live, we know Benbrook’s soil and gate styles, and our techs arrive in uniforms, background-checked and ready to quote the job before any work begins.

Why Benbrook Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Victor Salinas leads crews that work on gates the way our grandfathers worked on machine shops: methodically, with the right tool, and without cutting corners. Our reputation in Benbrook is built on one visit fixes, not return trips. When we service a sagging iron gate on a brick column in Whitestone or a cedar swing gate backing to a creek in Timber Creek, we treat the root cause, not the symptom.
Homeowners here have told us the same thing for years: they’d rather pay once and not think about the gate again. That’s the whole idea behind our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair doesn’t hold, we return and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day. When a gate fails on a Sunday evening in the Mira Vista area, you’ll speak to a person, not a machine.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Benbrook
Gate Repair
Hinges, welds, sag corrections, latch alignment, and post re-setting on swing and slide gates. On the 1990s iron gates around Benbrook Lake, we repair the racked frames that clay-soil movement causes. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Benbrook.
Gate Installation
New driveway gates built for Benbrook’s soil. We measure, order, weld, and install, and we bury posts below the caliche line so they don’t heave. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Benbrook.
Gate Motor & Opener
We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, Ghost Controls, and four more major brands, so the fix is correct the first time, whatever opener is on your driveway. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Benbrook.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, loop detectors, and vehicle sensors. We wire access systems that hold up to Texas sun, hail, and clay movement, and we configure them so you’re not locked out after a power flicker. Call for a free measure and a written price.
Gate Parts & Welding
Custom bracket fabrication, cracked hinge replacement, infill repair, and on-site welding. If a post is cracked or a leaf is torn, we often repair it in place the same visit. We serve all of Benbrook with live phone support around the clock.

Why Benbrook’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Benbrook sits on the Cross Timbers transition zone, and that fact shapes most of our repair work here. Gate posts on the older ranch properties and the lake perimeter estates are set through surface caliche into expansive clay. In August, a gate can be plumb and true; by April, after a wet spring, that same gate sags and the latch won’t catch. The clay swells, the post lifts, and steel frames rack out of square. It’s the leading structural failure we see in Benbrook, and it’s why a post that “feels solid” at installation can still fail in three years if it wasn’t buried deep enough or set with the right base material.
The lake-adjacent neighborhoods add a second wrinkle. Ornate wrought-iron driveway gates on masonry columns, many installed in the 1990s, are now 25 to 30 years old and hitting their failure window. Footing cracks from the clay cycle cause those iron frames to bind at the self-closing hinges, which wears out motors faster than anywhere else in the metro. Tarrant County’s hail corridor compounds it, splitting cedar slats and denting aluminum infill panels on a near-annual rhythm. When we quote a repair in Benbrook, we quote for the soil, the hail, and the age of the gate, not just the visible crack.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Benbrook
Most gate repairs in Benbrook fall between $180 and $800, depending on whether we’re re-welding a hinge or re-setting a post in caliche and clay. Opener motor replacements run $450 to $1,100. Call (817) 562-7979 for a free estimate on your specific gate, and we’ll quote it before work starts.
For emergency calls, yes, often same day. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, and when safety is at stake, we dispatch a tech to Benbrook immediately. For standard repairs, most Benbrook customers are on the schedule within one business day. Call (817) 562-7979 and tell us what’s happening; we’ll give you an honest answer, not a queued callback.
Your post is moving. Benbrook’s expansive clay swells when it rains, lifts the post slightly, and the gate sags until the soil dries and it settles back, never quite to the same spot. We fix this by digging below the caliche, compacting a proper base, and re-setting the post deeper than the original install. That’s the only fix that lasts in this soil.
We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your Benbrook opener is one of those, we can diagnose and repair it, usually the same visit. If it’s a brand we don’t stock on the truck, we’ll tell you before you pay for the visit.
A full install includes removal of the old gate, post setting below the caliche line, frame fabrication or pre-built gate install, hinge and latch hardware, and, if electric, the opener, keypad, and safety edges. We handle the power run and the sensor placement. Every install is measured, quoted, and signed before we order steel, and it’s covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Yes. We’ll pull the line, set the junction, wire the opener, the photo eyes or safety edges, and the keypad, and we’ll test the full cycle before we leave. We don’t leave a gate that works “sometimes.” If anything is off, we adjust it before we drive away, or we come back and make it right under the Done Right Promise.
If your gate is sagging, stuck, or silent in Benbrook, call (817) 562-7979. You’ll get a live person, a straight answer, and a written price before we start. Free estimates, and the job won’t be done until it’s done right.

What Benbrook Customers Say
"Used them at two properties now. Both times they diagnosed it on the first visit instead of guessing and coming back."
- Rohan Shah"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
