Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his name goes on every job. That’s a different kind of bet than what you get from a national outfit that sends a different crew to every call. Hurst homeowners in Bellaire Park and Shady Oaks call us because they’ve already tried the other route: a quote over the phone, a different number on the invoice, and a repair that lasted six months. We publish our address. We answer the phone around the clock. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every invoice: if it isn’t done right, one call brings us back, no runaround. That’s the whole warranty language, not a redacted version.
We’re certified to service the operator brands you’ll actually find on Hurst driveways: Linear, Viking, and DoorKing among them. We weld on site, in your driveway, so your gate never leaves your property unless you want it to. Hal will tell you what most gate companies won’t: a sagging gate is usually a failed hinge post, not a failed panel. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hurst
Gate Repair in Hurst
We repair iron driveway gates, wood side gates, and ornamental walk gates that have sagged, seized, or snapped. Hinge reweld, post re-plumb, frame re-square, panel true-up: we do the repair that keeps the original gate, because replacement is a last resort on aging Mid-Cities homes. Learn more about Gate Repair in Hurst.
Gate Installation in Hurst
Some gates aren’t worth saving, and we’ll tell you that honestly. When a new gate makes more sense, we build and set it on Hurst’s clay soil with heavier corner posts and deeper footings than the original ever had. New construction is rare in Hurst, so most installs replace a failed original with something that fits the same opening but outlasts it. Learn more about Gate Installation in Hurst.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst
Openers die from heat, UV, and the hard freezes that hit Hurst every few winters. We service operators from Linear, Viking, Bird Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, and we service the wiring that feeds them, including older 1970s circuits that were never put in conduit. Learn more about Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and safety-edge systems for Hurst homes that want the gate to know the difference between a car and a grandchild. We wire, program, and test access systems that match how you actually leave and enter the house, not some showroom demo.
Gate Parts & Welding
Broken hinge, cracked weld, rusted-through picket, mismatched latch: we source or fabricate the part and weld it in place. On-site welding means no hauling half a gate to some shop across the county. We bring the welder, the steel, and the skill to your driveway.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Hurst
We work every week in Hurst’s established neighborhoods, from the 1960s tract homes near Pipeline Road to the larger lots south of Hurstview Drive. Typical response time across Hurst is same-day for repairs, with evening and weekend calls answered live every hour.

Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hurst was built out almost entirely between the 1960s and 1980s, which means the driveway and side-yard gates on most of these homes are now 40 to 60 years old and failing in waves. But the deeper problem isn’t age. It’s the soil. Tarrant County’s shrink-swell black clay heaves and contracts with every wet-dry cycle, and over a decade that motion can migrate a gate post two or three inches out of plumb. The gate sags not because the hinges wore out, but because the post moved. In Hurst, a “sagging gate” call is very often a post footing problem. Simply adjusting the hinges buys you months, not years. The post footing often needs to be broken out and repoured with a wider bell-bottom pier to resist future heave. That’s a repair we do regularly, and it’s one many out-of-area gate companies aren’t set up to perform.
North Texas heat also knocks years off operator seals and wire insulation, and the periodic freezes that sweep through Hurst can seize hinges overnight and crack brittle iron welds. A gate that opened fine in June may bind in February because the post moved a quarter inch during a dry September. We account for the soil, the sun, and the freeze cycles, because all three are working against your gate every single season.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Hurst
Gate repair in Hurst typically falls between $180 and $340 for common fixes like hinge replacing, weld repairs, or a seized operator service. Post re-footing runs higher because of the concrete and excavation work involved. Access control system troubleshooting sits in a similar range to operator work, depending on the system. Every quote is confirmed before work begins; the number we discuss on the phone is the number on your invoice. We don’t show up and “discover” a bigger problem that changes the deal. If the scope genuinely grows, we call you first and wait for your yes.

What Hurst Customers Say
"He builds the gates himself in his own shop. You can go and look at it. That is not something you can say about the outfits that just order a panel in."
- Doreen Whitfield"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
- Hollis Amberly"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
- Otis Redmond
