Why Richardson Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Victor Salinas leads a team that has been working on driveway gates for over 42 years, and the company was founded in 1984 to do this one thing. We are not a general handyman service that occasionally looks at a gate. Gate repair is the entire trade. Our technicians arrive in uniform, are background-checked, and treat your property the way they would treat their own mother’s house. That standard is written into our K.E.Y.S. values code that guides every job.
We work throughout Richardson and Addison, TX, from the established streets of Canyon Creek and the brick homes around Yale Park to the larger lots near Breckinridge Park and the newer developments east of Renner Road. Our field experience with LiftMaster and FAAC openers is built on years of trucks rolling through your neighborhoods, not call-center theory. When a homeowner near Arapaho Road calls about a gate that stops mid-travel, we know what that usually means here before we even pull into the driveway. And no matter what we find, the price is agreed before work begins and covered in writing when we finish. We will be there when we say.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Richardson
Gate Repair
We repair sagging steel and wrought iron gates, broken hinges, bent frames, bad welds, and gates that drag on the concrete. The goal on every repair is to get your gate closing square and quiet again, in most cases during the first visit. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Richardson.
Gate Installation
We install new driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and estate gates, measured and built to fit your opening rather than forced into place. A new gate from Ironworks is welded and hung to stay square for decades, not just for the first season. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Richardson.
Gate Motor & Opener
We service and replace gate motors and openers across nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear, so the correct fix happens on the first visit. Whether your opener is dead, reversing, or grinding, we find the fault and fix it properly. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Richardson.
Gate Access Control
We install and repair keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and remote systems so only the people you want coming through actually get through. We wire Gate Access Control - Richardson the way it should have been done from the start, clean and serviceable. Our team handles the full job, from the opener to the keypad at the curb.
Gate Parts & Welding
We repair and fabricate Richardson Gate Parts & Welding rather than always replacing them, which often matters when you have a 20-year-old gate worth keeping. When welding is required, we do it in place or in our shop and finish the job so it holds.

Why Richardson’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Richardson sits on the Blackland Prairie, and the soil under your gate posts is clay that swells in spring rain and shrinks hard through the summer. That movement works on gate posts and hinges year after year. We regularly find gates in this city that were installed plumb and level 15 years ago but now drag because the clay under the post has shifted. It is not always a bad weld or a weak motor. Sometimes the ground under Richardson moved, and the fix has to account for that.
The other factor is heat. A black steel gate in July absorbs full sun for hours, and the metal expands enough to affect clearances. When a Richardson homeowner tells us the gate closes fine in the morning but binds in the afternoon, we start by checking what the heat did to the frame, not by selling a new motor. That local reading of the problem is the difference between a repair that lasts 90 days and one that lasts a decade. Housing stock matters too: many Richardson homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and original driveway gates from that era deserve repair and proper hardware rather than replacement. Our welders would rather fix that old wrought iron than throw it away.

The price is written down before any work starts. If you are considering a new gate instead of another repair, call us for a measured, written quote and we will explain the options without pressure.

All the time. A 40-year-old gate with good bones is often worth repairing, and our welders prefer that to piling steel in a landfill.

What Richardson Customers Say
"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."
- Veronica Ramirez"A hydraulic arm was leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned the stain as best he could, and it has been dry since."
- Erin Sutton
