What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
Ironworks Gate Co. is a gate specialist, not a general handyman service. We weld, we fabricate, and we replace the hardware that keeps a Southlake Gate Parts & Welding gate closing like the day it was hung. Here is exactly what we do under this service.
Hinge Replacement
A sagging gate almost always comes down to a hinge. Southlake’s clay soil shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and that movement transfers straight into hinge pins and barrels until they oval out and bind. We remove the old hinge, inspect the post and the gate frame for hidden stress cracks, and weld or bolt a new hinge that matches the weight and swing of your gate. No shims, no “good enough.” We want that gate square and silent.
Post Replacement
When a gate post rots at the base or cracks from years of torque, no hinge work will fix it. We dig out the old post, check the footing depth against the gate weight (a 400-pound steel gate needs more concrete than a 150-pound tube gate), and set a new post plumb in fresh concrete. Posts in Southlake take constant pressure from expansive soil, so we size the footing to it. You get a post that stays put.
Rail Repair
Bent or twisted top and bottom rails ruin the geometry of any gate, and they are often the first thing to go when a gate is hit or forced. We straighten what is salvageable and cut out and weld in new rail sections when it is not. We check alignment across the full gate face, not just the damaged section, so the gate does not develop a new sag six months later.
Custom Welding
Some repairs need a stock part. Some need a fabricator. Ironworks Gate Co. does both. Our team carries mobile welding equipment, so cracks in ornamental ironwork, broken pickets, and custom brackets are repaired on-site at your Southlake property, making us the Best Gate Parts & Welding in Southlake, TX choice. Victor Salinas has built this company on weld craft since 1984, and that work carries the same 90-Day Done Right Promise as every part we install.
Gate Rollers
Sliding and cantilever gates ride on rollers, and when a roller bearing seizes or a wheel flattens, the gate starts to chatter, jump, and eventually refuse to move. We replace worn rollers, clean and inspect the track, and adjust the gate’s weight distribution so the new rollers wear evenly. For homes on busier streets in Southlake, a smooth, quiet slide is not a luxury; it is the difference between a gate that works and one that wakes the whole house.
Latch & Lock
A gate that will not latch is a security problem, plain and simple. We align and replace latch bars, strike plates, and lock mechanisms on swing and slide gates, including locks that integrate with your automation. If you have a keypad or intercom tied into the gate, we check that the lock releases cleanly under power. A gate that locks but does not release is worse than a gate that does neither.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
We stock and install OEM parts for Ghost Controls gate openers, which we see regularly on Southlake estate properties. The hardware matters less than the fit, so when we replace a hinge or a roller on a Ghost Controls-equipped gate, we check the operator’s throw, force settings, and limit stops before we call the job done. A new roller does not help if the opener is fighting the track.
BFT and Viking are common on larger custom gates in this area, and we carry parts for both. Linear and Mighty Mule round out the lighter residential work we see across Southlake and our Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville. Whatever brand operates your gate, the metal underneath it still needs to be square and true. We service the opener and the steel in the same visit, which saves you a second service call and a second bill. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
- The gate drags on the ground or scrapes the driveway. That drag means a hinge, a roller, or a post has failed enough to drop the gate from level. Every inch of drag wears the metal down further and forces the opener motor to work against extra resistance, which shortens the motor’s life. Catch it now and the repair is small.
- The gate wobbles side to side when it moves. A gate should travel in one clean plane. Side wobble means a hinge pin is worn, a post is loose, or a roller is no longer seated on the track. Left alone, that wobble multiplies the load on every other connection until a second part fails.
- You can see a crack in the metal, especially at a weld joint. Cracks in gate frames or ornamental work never heal themselves. In Southlake’s heat-and-rain cycles, a hairline crack opens up quickly once moisture gets inside. Welding it early keeps the repair small and keeps the gate square.
- The latch will not close or the lock will not line up. When a gate frame twists or sags, the latch and strike plate separate and the lock stops seating. You might be able to force it, but forcing it just bends the hardware further. Realignment and latch replacement fixes the security gap.
- The gate grinds, squeals, or clunks when it opens or closes. Noise is the earliest warning a gate gives you. A squeal is often a dry hinge or a failing roller bearing; a clunk is usually a loose bracket or a slipped post. Early attention is always cheaper than a full refabrication.

Alignment and testing. We open and close the gate through its full travel, several times, under its own weight and under power if it is automated. We check latching, lock release, and the opener’s force settings so the new parts do not fight the old motor.
