Why Bedford Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Bedford’s neighborhoods are full of homeowners who’ve been here twenty, thirty years or more. They’ve seen contractors come and go. They’ve had the handyman who “can probably figure it out” and the outfit that never called back. When the gate that’s guarded the pool since 1987 finally won’t close, they want the last call they’ll ever have to make, not the cheapest quote on a search page.
We’ve been at this for over 42 years, founded in 1984, and we’re not going anywhere. Our technicians carry factory training on nine gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That matters on a street off Harwood Road where the original swing opener was installed when Reagan was in office. Whatever’s on the driveway, we’ve worked on it before.
In neighborhoods like Forest Ridge and the established streets around Harwood Road and Central Drive, homeowners call us for one reason above all: we give the price before we turn a single bolt, and if it isn’t right, we come back. That’s written down. It’s called the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every job we finish. No paperwork, no arguing, no “well, that’s just how gates work.” If it isn’t right, it gets made right.
Every technician who walks onto your property is background-checked and uniformed. They work the way they’d work in their own mother’s yard. That’s the K.E.Y.S. code we hire by: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th job gets the same care as the first.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Bedford
We’re a dedicated gate company, not a generalist handyman service that’ll “take a look” at your fence on the side. Everything we do is gates. Here’s the full scope of what we handle in Bedford.
Gate Repair
Sagging gate? Hinge pulled out of the post? Latch that hasn’t caught right since the last big rain? We repair wooden swing gates, steel driveway gates, pool gates, and side-yard gates. Most repair jobs are done in a single visit with the parts already on the truck.
Learn more about our Gate Repair in Bedford.
Gate Installation
If the old gate is past saving or you’re finally replacing the one that came with the house in 1988, we install new driveway and backyard gates. You get a free measure, a written price, and a gate hung square and plumb, set in a footer deep enough for Tarrant County clay.

Gate Motor & Opener
Your opener doesn’t whine, it works. Or it stops working entirely. We service swing and slide operators from nine major brands, and we can usually bring an aging opener back to life on the first visit rather than selling you a replacement you don’t need.
Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Bedford.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, remotes, vehicle sensors, and safety edges. If your keypad still works with a code nobody remembers and a key nobody can find, we can straighten that out. We handle the power run, the loop detectors, and the programming.
Gate Parts & Welding
Cracked steel frame? Broken hinge bracket? Ornamental iron that’s rusted through at the weld? Our shop cuts and welds on site when the job calls for it, and we stock common hardware so we’re not ordering a hinge and coming back in two weeks.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Bedford
We work all over Bedford, and we’re typically out to you within hours of your call. Some of the areas we’re in most often:
- Forest Ridge and the streets around Forest Ridge Drive near Central Park

Why Bedford’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Bedford is landlocked, fully built out, and almost every house went up between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s. That means one thing for gates: a whole lot of them are 30 to 40 years old, all aging at the same time. The cedar pickets are warped, the original hinges are corroded, and if the gate has an automatic opener, it’s period-matched hardware that’s been obsolete for a decade.
Then there’s the soil. Tarrant County’s black gumbo clay expands when it’s wet and contracts when it’s dry. A gate that closes flush in a rainy spring can gap two inches by August, then bind again after the first fall rains. When that happens year after year, the original 4×4 cedar posts heave and rotate, and the gate starts looking like it needs a whole new frame. In most cases, it doesn’t. The fix is resetting and re-plumbing the post in a deeper concrete footer, re-hanging the gate, and letting the clay do what it does without moving your fence. That’s the bread-and-butter call across Bedford’s 1980s subdivisions, and it’s a repair that saves homeowners several hundred dollars over a replacement they didn’t need.
Summer heat over 100°F doesn’t help. Metal components expand and seize, wood finishes bake and flake, and the swing geometry changes by the inch. We account for all of it when we set your posts and set your opener’s travel limits.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Bedford
Most gate repairs in Bedford run between $90 and $490, with the most common call being a post reset and rehang at $280 to $490. The exact price depends on what’s wrong, but it’s always quoted and agreed to in writing before work starts. Call (817) 580-8494 for a free estimate on your specific gate.
We keep Bedford calls moving on a fast schedule and can usually have a technician to you within hours, not days. The phone is answered by a living person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if your gate is stuck open at midnight with a dog inside the yard, you’re not leaving a message and hoping. Call and we’ll get someone rolling.
That’s Tarrant County black clay doing what it does. Wet soil expands and raises the posts; dry soil contracts and drops them, a few degrees at a time. After years of that, your gate’s swing geometry changes with the seasons. The fix is usually resetting the posts in deeper concrete footers, not replacing the gate. We see this pattern constantly in Bedford’s 1980s neighborhoods and can diagnose it on the first visit.
Every new gate installation includes removal of the old gate and hardware, deep concrete footers set below the clay’s shrink-swell line, posts set plumb and square, the gate hung and adjusted, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on the whole job. If you’re adding automation, the opener, safety edges, and keypad are wired and programmed before we leave. Call (817) 580-8494 and we’ll come measure and give you a written price.
Yes. We handle the power run, the loop detectors, the safety edges, the keypad programming, and the opener itself. This is not a job to piece together yourself or hand to a generalist; a gate that reverses too late or doesn’t reverse at all can seriously injure someone. We’re trained on nine opener brands, including BFT, Viking, and Ghost Controls, and every installation and repair is tested for safety before we leave.
If your gate is giving you trouble in Bedford, call (817) 580-8494. We’ll give you a straight answer, a written price, and a gate that works for another forty years if it’s asked to.

What Bedford Customers Say
"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"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one on the truck, and we were moving cars again inside an hour."
