Why Colleyville Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Colleyville ranks among the wealthiest municipalities in Texas, and the housing stock reflects it. Most of the residential build-out happened between the mid-1980s and early 2010s, which means thousands of large custom and semi-custom homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots. With that came a wave of ornamental iron automated driveway gates. And now, 20 to 40 years later, those gates are telling their age. Operators that were top-of-the-line in 1998 are failing. Hinges that carried a 350-pound panel are now carrying a 650-pound panel someone upgraded to in 2005. The math doesn’t work, and the gate lets you know it.
We’ve worked service calls in neighborhoods like Montclair Parks and Wimbledon Estates, where the pillars are custom masonry and the driveway is long enough for a four-car garage turnaround. Homeowners there don’t want a gate that looks patched. They want it working quietly, closing fully, and standing straight. Hal built this business on fixing what other companies would rather swap out. That’s on-site welding, true repair-first work, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every invoice. If it’s not done right, we make it right. One call brings Hal back. No fine print, no runaround.
We’re certified to service nine major gate brands, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite. Background-checked, uniformed crew members handle every job. And when you call, you talk to a person, not a phone tree. That’s how it’s been for over 29 years as a company, and that’s how it will be when you call about your gate in Colleyville.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Colleyville
Gate Repair
A sagging gate isn’t a panel problem. It’s a hinge-post problem. We start where the problem actually starts, because fixing the panel without the post means you’ll fix it twice. We handle broken hinges, bent frames, snapped welds, and gates that won’t latch or align, all on site in your Colleyville driveway.

Gate Installation
When a gate is beyond saving or you’re putting in a new entry altogether, we measure, order, and schedule it properly. That means a free measure and a written price before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re getting. We install swing and slide gates matched to the weight of the panel and the grade of the driveway.

Gate Motor & Opener
The original operators from the 1990s were often undersized for the heavy iron panels Colleyville homeowners later added. We service and replace motors from nine major brands, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule, making sure the motor matches the gate it’s actually driving.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and smartphone controls need to work every single time. We integrate Gate Access Control - Colleyville with your gate so it opens for you and stays closed for everyone else. If you’ve got an older system that’s starting to flake out, we can usually repair it rather than rip it out.

Gate Parts & Welding
Sometimes the right fix is a new hinge barrel, a re-welded picket, or a reinforced frame. We carry Colleyville Gate Parts & Welding supplies for major brands and weld on site, so your gate stays where it belongs: in your driveway, not on a flatbed headed somewhere else. A sagging gate often starts at the post, and that’s exactly where Hal starts looking.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Colleyville
We work gate repair calls throughout Colleyville, from the tree-lined streets of Montclair Parks to the estate lots of Wimbledon Estates, Whispering Oaks, and along Pleasant Run Road near the 76034 ZIP. Typical response time anywhere in Colleyville is same-day for most repair calls. Here’s a look at a few of the areas we’re in regularly:
- Montclair Parks - Custom homes with estate-style entries and original operators now decades old.
- Wimbledon Estates - Large ornamental iron gates that need quiet, reliable motor service.
- Whispering Oaks - Gates set on expansive clay soil that shifts seasonally.
- Pleasant Run Road corridor - Gated entries on busy residential thoroughfares requiring fast access fixes.
Why Colleyville’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
The Blackland Prairie expansive clay soil under Colleyville is famous for what it does to concrete. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it’s dry, heaving gate posts and their footings seasonally. A swing gate that cleared the driveway by three inches in April might scrape it in August. That’s not sloppy installation. That’s the ground moving, and it takes someone who knows the soil to correct for it. We’ve seen gates on Montclair Parks properties shift enough to snap a hinge barrel after a wet spring. The fix isn’t just a new hinge. It’s resetting the post and addressing the footing so it doesn’t happen again next year.
Colleyville’s housing stock makes this work different from gates in Bedford or Hurst. Those cities have their fair share of gates, but Colleyville’s build-out from the late 1980s through the early 2000s put ornamental iron automated entry gates on a huge percentage of custom and semi-custom homes. Meanwhile, North Texas ice storms present a recurring failure point: one freeze-thaw cycle can crack an aging Elite or LiftMaster operator housing and shear limit-switch arms that haven’t been serviced in years. A gate that worked fine in November can be dead in January. We don’t just replace the part. We check what the freeze exposed so it isn’t back in a month.

Both. We service and replace motors from nine major brands, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule. Hal’s first instinct is always to repair what’s fixable, because a motor that just needs a new gear or limit switch doesn’t need to be thrown away. But when a replacement is the right call, we’ll tell you that plainly and quote the price before ordering anything.
Yes. We weld on site in your driveway, which means the gate doesn’t get hauled off and you’re not waiting for it to come back from some fab shop across the county. That’s true repair-first work, and it’s one of the things that separates us from companies that want to sell you a whole new gate.
It includes a free measure, a written price, ordering the right gate for your panel weight and driveway grade, and installation with the posts set to handle Colleyville’s expansive clay soil. If there’s a power run or safety edges needed, we handle that too. No surprises on the invoice, because everything is quoted before we start. Call (817) 241-4067 to schedule a measure.
Your gate is the first thing you see when you come home and the last thing you look at when you leave. When it’s not right, it eats at you. We get that. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and he’s not done yet. The name is on the shop, the shop is down the road, and the phone rings to a person.

What Colleyville 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
