This page is for Fort Worth homeowners with Linear gate operators, Linear gate hardware, or Linear-compatible gates that need welding, hinge replacement, post straightening, rail repair, roller replacement, or latch work. We are an independent Linear service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop. What that means in practice: we fix what is failing, and we don’t push a full system replacement when a pair of hinges and a good weld will put the gate back in service for another decade.

Victor Salinas runs Ironworks Gate Co., and he grew up on Fort Worth’s east side watching his grandfather weld ornamental iron behind the family home. That’s where the welding craft comes from. The Linear knowledge came later, earned the hard way on hundreds of driveways across Tarrant County.

How Linear Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Actuator arm mounting bracket stress on Linear LRA series gates. The Linear LRA residential swing gate operators use a steel mounting bracket bolted to the gate frame. On Fort Worth clay soil, gate posts shift with the seasons, and the bracket takes the strain. We regularly see cracked welds at the bracket-to-gate joint, or wallowed-out bolt holes that let the arm flex on every cycle. The fix: remove the bracket, weld the crack, add a reinforcing plate if the metal has thinned, and re-drill clean holes. Then re-mount the arm so it tracks square to the hinge line.
• Hinge failure on heavy ornamental gates paired with Linear operators. Many Fort Worth homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s have ornamental steel gates hung on barrel hinges that were never intended to cycle several times a day under automation. An operator like a Linear LDO or LRA works fine until the hinge pin wears, the gate drops an inch, and the motor starts fighting a dragging leaf. We replace worn hinges with greaseable ball-bearing hinges sized to the gate’s weight, and weld the new hinge plates to both post and gate frame. The motor stops laboring, and the gate closes square to the latch.
• Rail and roller wear on sliding gates with Linear slide operators. Linear slide gate operators drive a rack bolted or welded to the gate rail. On rolling gates in Fort Worth, we see two recurring problems: rollers that have worn flat from years of grit (the decomposed granite and caliche dust common around Tarrant County grinds roller bearings fast), and rack sections that have worked loose or been welded poorly by a previous handyman. We replace rollers with sealed-bearing units rated for the gate’s travel, and re-weld or re-bolt the rack so the operator’s drive gear meshes cleanly across the entire run.
• Latch and lock alignment after gate sag. A Linear operator can close a sagging gate, but the latch may not engage, or the gate may bind against the post. The opener doesn’t know the latch missed. Homeowners notice when the gate swings open in a north wind. We square the gate with the hinges, weld new latch receivers in the correct position, and set the operator’s close limit so the latch engages every time without the motor pushing against a hard stop.
• Post failure at the hinge side on Linear swing gates. When a Fort Worth gate post rots or leans, the gate sags and the Linear arm has to work harder on every open and close cycle. Motor strain follows. We replace failed posts with new steel set in concrete at the correct depth for the gate’s weight, then re-hang the gate, re-weld hinge plates, and re-align the operator. The gate and the opener both get a fresh start. Victor’s rule, from four decades of this: if the post moves, fix the post before you touch the motor. He says, “If the gate doesn’t open when it should and close when it should, nothing else about it matters much.”

Our Linear Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (817) 562-7979. A live person answers, not a voicemail tree. We ask what the gate is doing, which Linear model you have, and whether it is swinging or sliding. We schedule a visit, and from there we’ll be there when we say.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. The technician checks the gate’s geometry first (hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latch), then the Linear operator. On swing gates with actuator arms, we watch the gate move and listen. The diagnosis on a Linear job is usually mechanical wear or a weld that has let go, not a motor that needs replacing.
3. 3
   Parts decision: OEM or quality aftermarket. For Linear control boards, limit switches, and actuator internals, we use OEM Linear parts. For hinges, rollers, bolts, and steel sections, we use domestic or commercial-grade aftermarket parts that match or exceed the original spec. We tell you which is which and why, and we don’t use parts that void a Linear warranty where a warranty still applies.
4. 4
   Straight price, in writing. We quote the full price before the first bolt is turned. That price is the price. No surprise line items at the end, no “supply chain” surcharge.
5. 5
   Welding and replacement. We perform the weld repair or parts replacement, grind and clean the welds, and prime any raw steel. If the gate needs to be blocked up or braced during the work, we handle that. The job site is left clean.
6. 6
   Test cycles and the Done Right Promise. We run the gate through full open and close cycles under the Linear operator and confirm the latch, limits, and auto-reverse behavior. The job is backed in writing by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right.

What Linear Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Fort Worth

Here is honest money for the common scenarios. These are Fort Worth market prices, quoted before work starts:

• Replace worn barrel hinges with ball-bearing hinges (pair, welded): $240-$420
• Weld repair at a cracked actuator bracket or hinge plate: $120-$260
• Replace a single gate roller or roller assembly: $80-$180
• Post replacement with new steel post and concrete: $500-$1,100
• Rack or rail repair on a sliding gate (weld or re-bolt existing rack): $180-$420
• Latch and lock alignment after sag correction: $120-$240

What moves the price: how far the gate has dropped, whether the post needs full replacement, the thickness of the remaining steel, and how accessible the work area is. A gate post on a flower bed with two shrubs in the way costs more than a clean concrete pad. We give the exact number after inspection, and we quote it before work starts.
