Gate Repair Services in Keller, TX
When your gate won’t open at 7 a.m. on a school day, or it swings shut on its own at midnight while your dogs are in the yard, you need someone who knows Keller, not a phone menu. Gate repair in Keller usually starts with a free phone diagnosis and we can often have someone in your driveway the same day you call. If you’re inside Keller city limits, there’s no trip charge. Call us at (817) 241-4067 and a live person answers, day or night.
Most Keller gates we see were installed when the house was built, somewhere between 1990 and 2008. That means the operator, hinges, keypad, and the concrete column they’re bolted to have been baking in Texas heat and shifting on North Texas clay for 15 to 30 years. The result is an unusual number of repair calls per square mile compared to older, denser cities nearby. We know exactly what we’re walking into when you tell us the neighborhood.

Why Keller Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood started this company in 2001, and his name is on the shop and on every invoice. That’s the whole pitch. When you call, you get a person who knows gates, not a call center. When the work is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on your job sheet. If something isn’t right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround, no fine print.
We’re in Hidden Lakes and Marshall Ridge regularly, and our crews have worked on hundreds of gates in those neighborhoods over the years. Homeowners keep calling us back because the person who shows up is background-checked and uniformed, and because we fix what’s broken instead of quoting a whole new system for a dead capacitor. Gate repair in Keller is our core work, and we treat every job like our own driveway.
You can verify us before we ever touch your gate. The shop address is published, the license number is published, and Hal will hand you his cell number without being asked. That’s the kind of accountability that matters to homeowners who’ve been burned by a national outfit that quoted one price on the phone and charged another at the door.

Gate Repair Services We Offer in Keller
Gate Repair
A sagging gate is almost always a hinge-post problem, not a hinge problem. We re-plumb posts, re-bore hinges, weld broken pickets and rails on site, and fix the gate that’s already in your driveway rather than hauling it off. If the gate is worth keeping, we keep it.

Gate Installation
When a gate is truly done, or when you’re adding a driveway gate where none existed, we build and install custom ornamental iron, steel, and wood gates sized to your opening and matched to your existing fence. Installation is measured, ordered, and scheduled with a free on-site estimate and a written price before we start.

Gate Motor & Opener
Keller’s heat is brutal on circuit boards, and Winter Storm Uri cracked hydraulic seals and shattered keypad housings all over town. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators, and we stock common boards and remotes so we’re not waiting on a UPS truck while your gate is stuck open.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, loop detectors, phone-entry systems. If your gate opens for some codes but not others, or the intercom stopped talking to the house, we trace it to the exact component and replace only what’s failed. Access control work is scheduled and quoted, never rushed.

Gate Parts & Welding
We weld on site, which matters more than most people realize. A cracked gate frame or broken picket gets fixed in your driveway without removing the gate from its posts. We also fabricate replacement parts for gates whose original hardware was discontinued years ago.

Why Keller’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Keller sits squarely on North Texas Blackland Prairie shrink-swell clay, and that one fact drives more gate repair calls than any brand of operator ever installed. These clay soils expand dramatically after spring rain and contract hard during the summer drought, and they do it unevenly. Over ten or fifteen years, that repeated heaving walks a brick gate column out of plumb. The hinge post leans. The gate sags. The latch stops lining up. A new operator bolted to a leaning post is going to fail on warranty within a season, because the operator isn’t the problem. The post is.
Then there’s the heat. Keller gets long stretches of 100°F-plus days every summer, and that heat degrades circuit boards, capacitors, and battery backups faster than the manufacturer’s rating would suggest. Add in sudden hard freezes like February 2021, which cracked hydraulic seals and shattered exposed keypad housings across Tarrant County, and you get a two-season spike in failures that a service like ours plans for every year. In Keller’s older subdivisions, we know to quote post re-plumbing as a near-certain add-on on any operator swap for a gate installed before 2005. The soil has simply had too many wet-dry cycles for the column to still be true.

Yes, for emergency repair we can usually have someone in Keller within the hour, and inside Keller city limits there’s no trip charge. A stuck-open gate is a security and pet-safety issue, so we treat it as urgent. Call (817) 241-4067 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a recording.
Your gate post is slowly moving as North Texas Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts with rainfall and drought. Fix the panel without addressing the post and you’ll fix it twice. We re-plumb the post and re-bore the hinges so the gate pulls straight against the column again, and that fix lasts.
We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators, as well as most other residential brands still in service. If you’re not sure what you have, send us a photo of the operator and the remote, and we’ll identify it over the phone on the first call.
A full installation includes a free on-site measurement, a written quote, the gate built to your opening and matched to your fence, the operator and safety edges or photo eyes, and the power run if needed. Installation is scheduled and quoted, not rushed, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to new gates just like repairs. Call (817) 241-4067 to schedule a free measure.

What Keller 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
