This page is written for Fort Worth homeowners who own a FAAC swing or slide gate and want the welding and parts work done by someone who has been under enough of these gates to know where they fail. No generic filler. Just what breaks, what it costs, and how we fix it.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Swing gate hinge stress on FAAC 400 and 412 operators: The FAAC 400-series hydraulic swing operators push a lot of force through the hinge line, and Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil shifts seasonally. We regularly see rear hinges pulled slightly out of square, which makes the operator work harder and eventually trips the thermal overload. Our fix is to cut out the old hinge, weld in a reinforced plate, and set the gate back to plumb before adjusting the operator’s force settings.
• Slide gate rail wear on FAAC 844 and 884 models: The FAAC 844 slide operator is a workhorse, but the rail and rollers take a beating from our dry summers and occasional ice. Owners describe a shudder or a screech when the gate travels. The real cause is usually a worn roller bearing or a rail with a slight wave in it from years of heat expansion. We weld new rail sections where needed and replace rollers with sealed-bearing units that handle the temperature swings better.
• Cracked gate frame welds on wrought-iron and steel gates: Fort Worth gates older than fifteen years often crack where the pickets meet the bottom rail, especially on the south-facing side. The steel heats and cools every day, and the weld is the weakest point. We grind out the old weld, re-weld with proper penetration, and add a small gusset where the design allows. A FAAC operator magnifies any frame flex, so a cracked weld is never just cosmetic.
• Post replacement after years of wind load: A FAAC gate that swings and slams in our spring storms eventually works the post loose in the concrete. Owners notice the gate droops a half inch at the latch side, then the operator starts faulting. We remove the old post, set a new one in a proper concrete footing, and weld the hinge assembly back on. The operator gets a square, solid foundation again.
• Latch and lock alignment after welding work: Any time a gate frame gets welded or a post gets replaced on a FAAC system, the electric lock or magnetic lock alignment shifts by a few thousandths and the gate won’t stay closed. We handle the lock re-alignment as part of every welding job, so you don’t end up with a gate that closes but won’t secure.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Call and describe what’s happening. A live person answers, 24/7. We’ll ask about the gate’s age, the operator model if you know it, and what the gate is doing or not doing.
2. 2
   We arrive and diagnose. One of our uniformed technicians comes out, checks the structure and the operator, and tells you what actually needs to happen. Victor Salinas still gets under the gate on the hot July jobs himself.
3. 3
   You get an upfront price. Before a single bolt is turned, you know the number. Parts, labor, welding time, everything. You agree to it or you don’t. No surprises on the bill.
4. 4
   We do the work. Whether it’s OEM FAAC parts or a quality aftermarket option we’ll explain why, we weld or replace what needs it, and we test the gate through full open and close cycles.
5. 5
   We check the whole system. A welding fix often shifts the gate geometry slightly, so we adjust the operator limits, the lock, and the safety edges before we leave.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Fort Worth

Here’s what we typically see for FAAC gate parts and welding work in the Fort Worth market:

• Hinge replacement (single hinge, welded): $180 – $340

The price moves based on how much welding time the job takes, whether we can save the existing post, and whether your FAAC operator needs tuning after the structural work. OEM FAAC parts cost a bit more than quality aftermarket equivalents, and we’ll walk you through both options. Every estimate is free, and the price gets settled before we start. Call (817) 562-7979 for a number you can plan around.
