AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Irving
When a swing gate starts dragging or a weld cracks on an iron driveway gate in Irving, you want a crew that knows exactly what they are walking into. We do. Gate hinge replacement in Irving usually runs $220-$480, post replacement typically lands between $380-$850 depending on footing depth and concrete condition, and custom welding work is quoted by the hour plus materials. Most hinge and roller failures are fixed in one visit. If your gate is sagging, binding, or simply will not latch, call (936) 259-0479 and we will be out to look at it.
We have worked gates all over Irving: from the shaded, older sections around Hackberry Creek and University Hills to the newer-built communities north of 635. The soil here is the big variable, and we will get into that below. First, know this: a square deal means the price is quoted and agreed in writing before a single bolt is turned. That is how we work in Irving, and how we have worked for over 42 years as a company.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Irving’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Irving homeowners call us because we are a gate company, not a general handyman service. Every technician who rolls up to a home near Irving Boulevard or MacArthur Boulevard is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the full scope of driveway gate work: hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latches, and the automation that drives them. When a homeowner near North Lake calls about a gate that will not open, we diagnose both the iron and the opener, not just the symptom. That is the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair that gets redone.
Our local reputation in Irving is built on the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It is written, plain and simple: if the fix is not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. That promise follows every weld, every hinge, every post we set in Irving. Victor Salinas, who leads Ironworks Gate Co., insists on it. We also answer the phone with a live person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a gate fails at midnight and a car is stuck in the driveway, a voicemail is not much help.
Our Gate Parts & Welding team stocks common hinge barrels, roller wheels, latch hardware, and steel stock for custom fabrication, which means we can handle most Irving repairs without waiting on a parts shipment. We will be there when we say.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Irving
Hinge Replacement
Irving’s clay soil heaves with moisture and shrinks in drought. That movement puts enormous sideload on hinge posts, and the hinge barrels and pins take the punishment. We routinely replace wall-mounted hinges on brick columns in neighborhoods like Valley Ranch, and heavier weld-on hinges on steel posts closer to Las Colinas. A sagging gate grinds the bottom of the leaf into the driveway, and that drag will wear out an opener motor faster than anything else. When we replace hinges in Irving, we check the post plumb, the leaf weight distribution, and the operator travel limits before we call the job done.
Post Replacement
A hinge post that has rotted below grade or cracked from clay movement cannot hold a gate square no matter what hinge you put on it. In Irving, we see this most often on older iron gates installed without proper footing depth or drainage. We cut out the old post, set a new one in properly cured concrete sized for the soil conditions, and re-hang the gate so it closes true. We also match the existing finish so the repair does not look like an afterthought. If the concrete footing itself is cracked, we address that too rather than burying a problem.
Rail Repair
The horizontal rails on a driveway gate carry the entire leaf structure. Over years of Irving heat, humidity, and occasional hail, rail ends rust where they enter the frame, or welds fatigue at the corners. A cracked rail shows up as a wobble or a ripple in the gate when it moves. We cut out the damaged section, weld in new steel, and match the paint or powder coat. On slide gates, we also check the rack and pinion rail alignment, because a rail repair that changes the geometry by even an eighth of an inch can cause binding.
Custom Welding
Not every fix is a replacement part. Sometimes a gate needs a section rebuilt, a finial reattached, a broken picket replaced, or a custom bracket fabricated for an opener arm. Our welding work in Irving covers all of that, done on the truck or in the shop depending on the job. We weld mild steel and aluminum, and we can match existing ironwork closely enough that the repair blends in. If a wrought-iron pattern is no longer manufactured, we fabricate a replacement rather than telling you to buy a new gate.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Most Irving estate gates run on opener systems from LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, or Linear. We are trained and equipped to service all of them, plus five more major brands. That matters when a gate problem is electrical rather than mechanical. A hinge replacement done right still needs the operator travel limits reset and the safety sensors retested, and that work is brand-specific. We carry common control boards, limit switches, and remote receivers for the brands we see most often in Irving, so a repair appointment does not turn into a two-trip job.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Clay soil heaving hinge posts out of plumb. Irving sits on expansive clay that moves with every rain and dry spell. A post that was true a year ago may be leaning ten degrees now, and that lean drags the gate leaf across the driveway. We re-set and re-weld the post, then retest the full travel path.
- Worn gate rollers on slide gates. Grit and humidity work into the roller bearings on sliding gates all over Irving, especially in neighborhoods with older concrete driveways. When rollers bind, the opener motor works harder and eventually burns out. We replace rollers and clean and align the track so the gate rolls freely.
- Rack and pinion gears binding after years of use. Slide gate operators drive a gear along a toothed rack. When the rack wears or shifts, the gear skips, jams, and can shear teeth. We realign or replace the rack, then set the opener force limits so it never strains.
- Loop detectors losing range after utility work or lightning. Irving gets strong spring thunderstorms. A nearby lightning strike or utility trenching can damage the underground loop detector that tells the gate to open for your car. We test the loop, replace the detector if needed, and re-tune the frequency so your remotes and keypads work again.

The soil under your gate matters as much as the iron above it. In Irving, clay movement means a post reset often costs more than a hinge swap. The final number depends on footing depth, concrete condition, gate weight, and access for the truck. We quote the full price before work starts, in writing, and that number does not change. Estimates are free. Call (936) 259-0479 and we will give you a real number.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Irving
The most common cause in Irving is a hinge post that has been pushed out of plumb by expanding clay soil. As the soil heaves and settles through wet and dry cycles, the post footing moves, the gate tilts, and the leaf drags on the driveway. We fix it by re-setting the post in properly sized concrete, replacing worn hinges, and re-hanging the gate so it closes square and holds on the latch. Call (936) 259-0479 and we will diagnose it on site.
Yes. Our fabricators work from the existing gate’s dimensions, profile, and finish, and we weld in matching steel or aluminum for broken pickets, finials, scrollwork, and rail ends. For older Irving gates with discontinued patterns, we fabricate a replacement rather than forcing a mismatched part. The goal is a repair you cannot pick out from five feet away.
After any hinge or post replacement in Irving, the operator must be retested for entrapment protection under UL 325: the safety photocell beam, the reverse-on-contact sensitivity, and the force limit for the gate leaf’s new weight and alignment. We run this test on every job before we leave, because a gate that closes too hard after a repair is a hazard, not a fix.
We realign or replace the rack, clear debris from the gear teeth, adjust the opener’s force and limit settings, and verify the gate rolls or swings freely by hand before the motor is re-engaged. This is common in Irving where years of grit and humidity have worn the rack unevenly. The repair often includes roller or hinge work, because binding is usually a symptom of something else moving out of line.
It depends on the crack. A hairline crack may be fine with a properly anchored post. A footing that has broken through, or one that is undersized for Irving’s clay soil, will continue to move until it is re-poured. We assess the footing on every hinge job and tell you straight if the post needs a new concrete base. No guesswork, and the price is agreed before we dig.
