This page is for Fort Worth homeowners and property managers who own a FAAC gate and need honest parts and welding work, not a sales pitch for a full replacement. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his crew has pulled enough FAAC operators apart to know which welds fail, which hinges wear first, and which parts are worth buying from FAAC versus a good aftermarket source. We are an independent FAAC service provider, which means we can fix what is broken without pushing you toward a new gate because a manufacturer rep says so.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC makes solid operators, but the mechanical parts around them take a beating in North Texas. Here is what we actually see on FAAC gates in Fort Worth, and what we do about it.

• Swing gate hinge wear on FAAC 400 and 415 operators. The operator is doing its job, but the hinge post has shifted or the hinge pins have wallowed out, so the gate drags and trips the safety. We replace the hinge and weld a reinforcement plate on the post rather than pulling the whole gate down. Fix the panel without the post and you will fix it twice.
• Slide gate rail and roller damage on FAAC 844 and 400 slide systems. The steel wheels wear flat spots from Fort Worth’s caliche dust and gravel driveways, and the rail starts to groove. We replace the rollers and weld in fresh rail sections where the old one has worn thin. A gate that groans when it moves is telling you the rail is failing.
• Cracked welds on the gate frame itself. We see this on heavier ornamental gates, especially the ones with welded pickets and scrollwork. The crack starts small, usually at a lower corner, and then the gate twists just enough to bind in the opening. We grind out the old weld, reweld it, and add a gusset so it does not crack again in the same spot.
• Underground foundation box corrosion on FAAC hydraulic operators. FAAC hydraulic rams sit in a steel box in the driveway, and when the box fills with water during a Fort Worth gully-washer, the ram corrodes and the duty cycle drops. We pull the ram, clean the box, re-seal it, and weld a new lid frame if the original is rotted out. This is a job we see at least once a month in older neighborhoods like Ryan Place and Mistletoe Heights.
• Latch and lock alignment after a weld repair. Any time we weld on a gate, the heat moves the metal a few thousandths, and the latch that used to click clean now binds. We true the latch plate and re-align the lock before we call the job done, because a gate that does not latch is not a gate, it is a suggestion.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   You call. A live person answers, day or night. No voicemail tree, no call center in another state. We ask what the gate is doing, what brand it is, and whether you can send a photo if it helps.
2. 2
   We show up and diagnose. We check the operator, the hinges, the posts, the rail, and the welds. We do not guess and we do not pad the list. If the gate sags in the hinge post, that is where we start.
3. 3
   We give you a written price before any work starts. You know the number, the parts, and the time. If you have a written estimate from someone else, bring it and we will give you a free second opinion.
4. 4
   We decide on parts together. Some FAAC parts are worth buying OEM, like hydraulic seals and motor capacitors. Others, like steel rollers and hinge pins, we get from local Fort Worth suppliers that make good heavy-gauge replacements. We will tell you which is which and why.
5. 5
   We weld and repair on site. The gate stays in your driveway. Hal’s crew grinds, welds, shims, and adjusts until the gate opens and closes the way it should.
6. 6
   We test it, clean up, and stand behind it. We run the gate through ten full cycles, then we leave the job site cleaner than we found it. Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Fort Worth

Here are the real numbers for the FAAC jobs we do most often in Fort Worth. Your price is set before we start, not after.

• Hinge replacement and post reinforcement: $185 to $380, depending on gate weight and post condition.
• Weld repair on a cracked gate frame: $150 to $400, depending on crack length and access.
• Roller and rail replacement for a slide gate: $220 to $520, including new rollers and welded rail sections.
• Full gate post replacement with concrete set and weld: $450 to $850, which is the honest range for a post that has rusted through or snapped at the base.
• Custom welding for gate modification or extension: Quoted by the job, always in writing before we start.

What moves the price is the gate’s weight, the post’s condition, and whether we need to bring in fresh steel. What does not move the price is you negotiating in the driveway. We quote it once, and we stand on it. Call (817) 241-4067 for an exact quote on your FAAC gate. Estimates are free.

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Call Gatewood Fence & Gate for FAAC Work

We have been fixing gates in Fort Worth since 2001, and Hal Gatewood grew up on the south side, not far from Hulen Mall. He is still about ten minutes from where he went to school. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road, which is the oldest accountability there is. When we say we will be there Tuesday at 9, the person who shows up is the same person you talked to, and the same person who will come back if anything is not right.

Every FAAC repair we do carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not right, one phone call brings us back. No runaround. No fine print. We also service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, so if your property has more than one brand of gate, you are not calling three companies. You are calling one, and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We are not the cheapest in Fort Worth, and we do not try to be. We are the ones who weld it right the first time, so you are not calling us back next spring to fix the same sag.
