AfterGate Repair Services in Hurst, TX
When a gate stops closing in Hurst, the problem is usually older than the house it guards. Most of the gates we repair in the 76053 and 76054 zip codes were hung forty to sixty years ago, on posts set into Tarrant County’s expansive black clay. That clay swells and shrinks with every wet spring and dry summer, and the gate moves with it. A misaligned latch or a sagging hinge is rarely a one-off issue here; it is the slow, steady result of the ground itself shifting under the work.
We answer the phone in Hurst the same way we answer it everywhere else in the metro: live, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (817) 580-8494 and you will speak to a person who knows gates, not a phone tree. Repair calls in Hurst are typically scheduled the same day or next, and most jobs are completed in a single visit.

Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Hurst is a settled town. The homeowners we work with in neighborhoods like Shady Brook and Cavender Manor have usually been in their houses for twenty years or more, and they have seen enough contractors come and go to know the difference between a promise and a written guarantee. We have been doing this work since 1984, and our repair crews in Hurst and the North Richland Hills service area are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine major gate-automation brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, and BFT. The correct part and the correct fix arrive on the first visit, not the third.
Every job we complete in Hurst is protected by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. That is not a handshake understanding. It is a written guarantee: if the work is not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. It applies to a hinge replacement in a 1960s ranch home in 76053 the same way it applies to a new automation package in 76054. You will know the price before we turn a single bolt, and the price quoted is the price on the bill.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hurst
Gate Repair
This is the work that keeps us busiest in Hurst. Worn hinges, sagging gates, failed welds, broken pickets, latches that no longer catch. We repair steel, iron, aluminum, chain-link, and wood gates, and one of the most common fixes in this area is a hinge or latch that has been pulled out of alignment by clay heave. Most repairs are finished in one visit, with the price settled before any work begins. Learn more about our gate repair in Hurst.
Gate Installation
A new gate in Hurst must be built for the soil it sits in. We measure, fabricate, and install driveway and pedestrian gates with concrete footers sized for Tarrant County clay, not for a textbook. Every installation includes a free on-site measure and a written price before you commit to anything. Learn more about our gate installation in Hurst.
Gate Motor & Opener
Whether you have a Mighty Mule on a chain-link side gate or a LiftMaster running a full driveway gate, we service the motor, the arm, the receiver, and the safety edges. We carry parts for nine leading opener brands. A motor failure in Hurst is not a project; it is a repair, and repairs get scheduled promptly. Learn more about our gate motor and opener service in Hurst.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, card readers, intercoms, and vehicle sensors all need clean wiring, steady power, and proper grounding. We install and repair Gate Access Control - Hurst on residential estate gates throughout the area, and we test every connection before we leave. If your keypad works intermittently or your remote only works from ten feet away, that is a diagnosable problem, not a mystery.
Gate Parts & Welding
Older Hurst gates often need parts that are simply not manufactured anymore. Pintles, strap hinges, ornamental pickets, latch plates from a foundry that closed in 1972. We handle Hurst Gate Parts & Welding by fabricating replacements in our shop and welding them on-site. A fifty-year-old gate does not need to be replaced because a hinge wore out; it needs a hinge that can be made again.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hurst
Our crews work throughout Hurst, including these neighborhoods and the streets around them:
- Shady Brook
- Cavender Manor
- Hurstview Terrace

Most repair calls in Hurst are reached within 45 minutes of dispatch. If the gate is stuck open, stuck shut, or refusing to respond to the opener, call (817) 580-8494 and we will get a truck headed your way.
Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hurst’s residential neighborhoods were built out primarily between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s, and much of the housing stock is mid-century ranch construction on modest lots. In many of those homes, the gate across the narrow side yard is the only rear-yard access point. It opens and closes several times a day, every day, and it has been doing that for fifty years or more.
Underneath that gate is the real problem: Tarrant County’s expansive black clay. It swells when it rains and contracts when it bakes, which means gate posts in Hurst rarely stay exactly where they were set. A wet spring pushes the post out of plumb. The gate racks. The hinges bind. The latch misses the strike. We see this pattern repeat every year, especially in the older south-side blocks of 76053, where clay heave can move a post one to two inches in a single wet week. Any lasting repair in Hurst starts with the post, not the hinge.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hurst
Gate repair in Hurst typically costs between $140 and $750, depending on the cause. A simple hinge replacement runs $140 to $280. A post reset to correct clay heave runs $350 to $750. Every quote is fixed before work begins, so the number we give you is the number on the bill. Call (817) 580-8494 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Most repair calls in Hurst are dispatched the same day or the next. Emergency calls, including a gate stuck open at the driveway, get priority routing when a truck is available. We will tell you the truth about arrival time when you call, not an optimistic guess.
The expansive black clay under Hurst swells and shrinks with every wet and dry cycle, and it moves gate posts out of plumb seasonally. After a rainy stretch, the clay heaves and the gate racks, which throws off the hinges and latch. Fixing the hinge without resetting the post means the same failure returns next season.
Yes, and those are a large share of our repair calls in Hurst. Older ornamental iron and galvanized chain-link gates often need hardware that is no longer manufactured. We fabricate replacement pintles and hinges in our own shop, and weld them on-site. A 1960s gate with a solid frame is often a better investment to repair than a new one is to install.
We do. Motor replacement, arm adjustment, receiver programming, safety-edge wiring, and keypad installation are all standard work for our crews. We also check the footer and post alignment before installing a new opener, because in Hurst’s clay soil, even the best motor cannot overcome a post that has moved two inches out of plumb. Call (817) 580-8494 for a free estimate on any opener or automation work.

What Hurst Customers Say
"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."
- Eric Padgett"The hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Megan Whitaker"Used them at two properties now. Both times they diagnosed it on the first visit instead of guessing and coming back."
- Rohan Shah
