AfterGate Repair Services in Garland, TX
When a driveway gate stops opening in Garland, it’s rarely a small problem. It’s a 400-pound steel panel stuck across your only way out of the house, or a motor grinding at 6:40 a.m. with your car trapped in the garage. We handle those calls every day, including Mesquite service area calls nearby. A live person answers at (936) 277-6521, day or night, and we dispatch technicians who know Garland’s neighborhoods, its older ranch homes off Belt Line Road, and the newer developments branching out toward Firewheel. You’ll get a straight answer, a fair price before any work begins, and a fix done right the first trip.
The short version: gate repair in Garland runs from about $140 for a seized wheel to $700 and up for a full operator replacement. Most repairs are completed in one visit. The quote is settled before we turn a single bolt, and the work carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why Garland Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Ironworks Gate Co. has been doing this work for over 42 years, since 1984. We are not a general handyman service that occasionally touches gates. This is all we do. Victor Salinas leads our crews, and every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to follow the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th job gets the same care as the first.
Homeowners in North Garland and across the city toward Duck Creek keep our number because they remember the last contractor who cut a corner. They call us after a fly-by-night outfit replaced a hinge with the wrong part, or wired an opener without weatherproofing the connections. We fix those jobs properly. We are certified to service nine opener brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Whatever sits on your driveway, we have worked on it before.
Our reviews across Garland reflect the same pattern: showed up on time, quoted a fixed price, fixed it in one trip, and stood behind the work. No pressure. No upselling. No surprises on the bill.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Garland
Gate Repair
A sagging gate off Chimney Rock Drive or a gate post leaning after a hard Garland storm is more than an eyesore. The strain transfers to hinges, then to the motor, then to the control board. We repair steel and iron gates, weld broken joints, replace worn hinges, and rehang panels so they close square and seal properly. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Garland.
Gate Installation
A new gate on a home near Firewheel Town Center has to be measured correctly, hung level, and matched to your existing fence and posts. We install single and double driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and estate gates built for decades, not years. Every installation includes a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Garland.
Gate Motor & Opener
When a LiftMaster or FAAC operator fails on a home near Jupiter Road, the problem is usually the arm, the capacitor, or the limit switch, not the whole unit. We diagnose before we replace. Our technicians carry parts for most major brands and complete most motor repairs in a single visit. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Garland.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, card readers, telephone entry, vehicle loop detectors. If a guest cannot get in through your Gate Access Control in Garland, or a keypad has stopped accepting codes after a north Texas ice event, we trace the wiring, replace the reader, and reprogram the system on site. Your home security should not depend on a workaround.
Gate Parts & Welding
We keep a deep inventory of gate hardware: hinges, rollers, wheels, brackets, locks, and weldable steel sections. For ornamental iron gates with broken scrollwork or a rusted-through bottom rail, our welders cut out the bad section and weld in new steel that matches. No “close enough.” See our home page for the full scope of what we cover.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Garland
Our technicians work across Garland every week, also serving Richardson, TX. We know the gate styles in the established subdivisions near downtown, the ranch houses off Broadway Boulevard, the newer builds around Firewheel, and the lake-proximate streets near Rowlett Creek. Typical response time anywhere in Garland is same-day for repairs; morning calls usually get a technician that afternoon.

Why Garland’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Garland’s weather does specific things to gates. Summers push 100 degrees for weeks straight, which expands steel and warps panels that were already hung too tight by a previous installer. Then the storms roll in fast, and the clay soil around Garland shifts with every drought-to-flood cycle. Gate posts set in that clay lean. When a post leans half an inch, the gate drags, the motor strains, and the capacitor burns out ahead of schedule. We see this pattern constantly in the older sections of Garland where original gate posts from the 1970s and 1980s were never re-set in concrete deep enough for the soil conditions.
The housing stock matters too. Many Garland homes near Duck Creek and Broadway Boulevard have driveway gates that predate modern safety standards. They lack photo eyes, edge sensors, or reverse-on-contact settings. When we repair or upgrade a gate in Garland, we bring it up to current safety code without altering the look. We add the right sensors, test the force settings, and confirm the gate stops and reverses the way it should.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Garland
Honest numbers, because you deserve to know before you call. A typical hinge replacement or gate wheel replacement in Garland runs $140 to $300. For Garland Gate Parts & Welding, welding a cracked steel gate costs $180 to $450 depending on the length of the weld and whether we need to reinforce the section. A motor or opener replacement on a single-swing gate typically runs $500 to $900 in Garland, and a full operator with new safety components can reach $1,200 to $1,800. Keypad replacement or reprogramming is usually $150 to $350.
These are real ranges, not bait. We quote the full price before we start, and the quote does not change. Ask about our $50 off any repair over $250, our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up, and our standing 5% senior and veteran discount. Call (936) 277-6521 and you will talk to a person, not a recording.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Garland
Gate repair in Garland ranges from about $140 for a simple roller or hinge replacement to $1,800 for a full operator replacement with new safety components. The exact quote depends on the gate type, the age of the opener, and the condition of the posts. Call (936) 277-6521 for a free estimate, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Yes. We schedule repairs in Garland every weekday and most Saturdays. Morning calls usually get a same-day visit; late calls may be next morning. For a stuck gate blocking your car, tell us on the phone and we treat it as priority dispatch. Live answer, 24 hours, every day: (936) 277-6521.
It includes on-site measurement, removal and disposal of the old gate, new posts set in concrete, the gate panel hung and leveled, all hardware, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If automation is included, it covers the motor, safety photo eyes, edge sensors, and programming. We quote the whole job before any work starts. No line items added later.
Yes. We run the low-voltage wiring from your panel to the operator, install the photo eyes and edge sensors that stop the gate if a child or pet is in the way, and set the force limits correctly. Garland’s building code requires this, and our fix would be incomplete without it. Every gate we touch leaves our truck operating to code.
Usually yes. A grinding LiftMaster is most often a sheared gear or a broken drive arm, both of which we replace in a single visit without replacing the whole motor. We carry LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear parts in our Garland trucks. If the unit is beyond repair, we show you the damage, explain the replacement options, and let you decide. No pressure. Call us at (936) 277-6521 and describe what you hear; we will tell you straight what it likely needs.

What Garland Customers Say
"Used them at two properties now. Both times they diagnosed it on the first visit instead of guessing and coming back."
- Rohan Shah"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
- Layla Haddad"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
