AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Hurst
Most gate failures in Hurst aren’t dramatic. They’re slow: a hinge that sags a little more each month, a post that’s been rotting inside its footing for years, a roller that grinds a bit louder every week. When you notice it, the problem’s usually been building for a long time. Our Gate Parts & Welding team handles those deferred-maintenance issues every day across Hurst, from the neighborhoods off Precinct Line Road to the older subdivisions along Hurst Boulevard. If your gate needs new hinges, a rebuilt post, rail repair, or custom welding, call Victor Salinas and the crew at Ironworks Gate Co. at (817) 562-7979. We’ll walk you through what’s wrong, what it costs, and when we can have it working again. Most repair work is done in one visit.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Hurst’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’ve been doing gate work in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for over 42 years, and much of what we see in Hurst follows the same pattern: older suburban homes with gates that were installed well originally, but have slowly fallen behind on upkeep. Hinge post rot. Dry, seized rollers. Weld cracks at stress points. Homeowners in Hurst tell us the same thing: they want the gate fixed right and never want to think about it again. That’s the job we do.
Our distinction starts with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every job. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. It’s the Keystone Standard we’ve applied since 1984. Victor Salinas leads a team of background-checked, uniformed technicians who follow the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. We don’t cut corners on Hurst driveways. We treat every gate like it’s going to be there another 40 years.
When you call (817) 562-7979, a live person answers. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not an answering service. If a technician is available, we’ll route them to your part of Hurst quickly for urgent repairs. For work that needs measurement and planning, like full post replacement or custom welding, we schedule a specific time and we show up when we say we will.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Hurst
Driveway gates in Hurst take a beating from the Texas sun and the region’s clay-heavy soil. Here’s what we handle most often.
Hinge Replacement
When a gate sags on the latch side, it’s usually the hinges working loose or wearing out at the pivot points, not the gate itself bending. In Hurst we frequently find the hinge screws have stripped inside the post after years of weight and wind load. We remove the old hardware, weld or bolt fresh hinge plates into solid steel, and re-hang the gate so it closes with an even gap top to bottom. Most double swing gates in Hurst take two to four hours to re-hang with new hinges, depending on gate weight.
Post Replacement
This is the one Hurst residents don’t see coming until the gate leans or scrapes the driveway. The original post often looks fine above ground while it rots below the soil line, we’ve cut out posts that looked intact on top and crumbled at the base. Hurst’s clay soil holds water against steel for months after rain or irrigation. We dig out the old footing, pour fresh concrete to the right depth, set the new post straight and plumb, and weld a reinforced sleeve where the post meets the concrete. The gate then gets re-hung and adjusted so it operates like it did when it was new.
Rail Repair
Slide gates put all their stress on the top and bottom rails. Over time, welds crack and rails bow, especially on longer driveway runs common in older Hurst neighborhoods. We straighten what can be salvaged and replace what can’t, using the same gauges of steel the original gate was built from. The repair is welded, ground smooth, and primed so it doesn’t look like a patch job.
Custom Welding
Some gate problems can’t be fixed with a bolt-on part. Cracked frames, broken pickets, missing scrollwork, or a decorative arch that’s separated from the frame all call for welding. We carry a mobile rig so most welding happens in your Hurst driveway. The finished work is cleaned and primed, and if your gate is powder-coated we can match the finish closely enough that most homeowners can’t find the repair afterward.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
If your gate has an opener of any kind, we’re trained and equipped on the equipment that runs it. That includes Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite, plus LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Mighty Mule. When we stock parts for a repair, we carry what fits your opener, not a universal compromise. That means fewer return visits and a repair that holds.

It covers lubrication, limit adjustments, safety photocell alignment, and a full inspection of hinges, posts, and weld points.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Hinge post rot at the base from irrigation overspray. Hurst’s clay-heavy soils hold moisture against steel long after the sprinklers run. When a post fails, the gate tilts and the hinges carry load they weren’t designed for. We replace the post and footing together so the fix lasts another generation.
- Slide gate rollers binding after years of deferred lubrication. Long, flat driveway runs are common in Hurst’s established neighborhoods, and those sliding gates collect dust and rust on the roller track. We clean, lubricate, and replace seized rollers, then adjust the gate so it rolls without strain.
- Loop detector sensitivity drift near busy roads. Properties close to Hurst Community Park and along Harwood Road see occasional heavy bus and commercial traffic. Older loop detectors can sense that traffic and hold a gate open, or fail to sense the homeowner’s car at all. We retune or replace the loop and its controller so the gate responds only to your vehicles.
- Weld cracks at stress points on double swing gates. Two-leaf gates put repeated torsion on the center stile and upper corners. After a decade of Hurst heat and wind, those welds fatigue. We grind out the old weld, re-weld the joint with proper penetration, and reinforce the area with gussets where the design allows.
Pricing for Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst, TX
Typical repair pricing in Hurst reflects what we actually see on the driveways here. A standard single swing gate hinge replacement runs $180 to $380 depending on gate weight and how many hinges need replacing. Resetting or replacing a rotted hinge post runs $450 to $1,100, including concrete footing and re-hanging. Slide gate roller replacement runs $160 to $320. Custom welding for a cracked frame or broken picket runs $140 to $450 depending on the length of the weld and access. Every one of those prices is quoted and agreed before we touch a bolt or strike an arc. You’ll know the exact number before we start, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the work after we finish. Active Hurst offers: $50 off any repair over $250, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 5% Senior and Veteran discount.
Addressing Your Gate Before It Fails
Hurst sits between Fort Worth and Dallas, and unlike cities built around a single industry, much of Hurst grew as quiet residential neighborhoods. That means the gates we fix here are mostly the same age as the houses: 1960s through 1990s construction, often original to the property. The pattern we see again and again is a gate that was never adjusted or lubricated after installation, then gradually failed over ten or fifteen years. The good news is that the underlying frame and steel are usually sound. Once the failed part is replaced and the gate re-balanced, it will often outperform gates half its age.
We rebuilt a sagging swing gate on a home near Hurst Boulevard where the hinge post had rotted below the soil line inside the post footing. Our crew cut out the old post, poured a new concrete footing, and welded a reinforced sleeve before re-hanging the gate and setting the existing LiftMaster operator with fresh safety photocells. The homeowner walked the gate open and closed a few times, then said it swung easier than it had in years. That’s the result we aim for on every Hurst job.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Almost never. In our experience with Hurst gates, the sag comes from hinge wear, stripped mounting screws, or a post that’s begun to lean. The gate frame is usually straight. We’ll inspect the hinges and posts first. A hinge replacement or post reset fixes the sag permanently. Call (817) 562-7979 and we’ll tell you what we find.
In most cases, no. Replacing a failed gate post on an existing driveway is a repair, not new construction, and Hurst treats it that way for the majority of residential properties. If your gate sits on a corner lot or near a right-of-way, there can be setback rules. We handle the details, so you don’t have to chase paperwork.
Yes. Galvanized steel welds fine when the zinc coating is ground off at the weld joint first. We grind, weld, and then re-coat the area with cold galvanizing spray and primer. The repair won’t rust prematurely. This is a standard repair for us in Hurst, where many original gates from the 1980s and 1990s are galvanized.
Texas heat expands the steel rail and the roller brackets. A gate that’s fine in the morning can bind by 3 p.m. on a Hurst summer day. The fix is to clean and lubricate the rollers, check the track alignment, and reset the opener’s force limits so it doesn’t false-trip. We see this pattern often enough on long driveway runs in older Hurst subdivisions that we plan for it on our slide gate repairs.
Plan on two to four hours for a typical double swing gate. The work includes removing both leaves, cutting out or drilling the old hinge hardware, welding or bolting new plates, re-hanging, and adjusting the gap and latch alignment. If the posts also need attention, we’ll add that to the same visit when possible.
