AfterGate Repair Near You in Fort Worth, TX
When your gate stops working, you don’t need a corporate call center three states away; you need someone who knows the area and can fix the problem today. Gate repair in Fort Worth typically costs between $150 and $450 depending on the damage, and we provide same-day service for urgent security issues. If you are looking for our Gate Repair services near you, call (817) 241-4067 to speak with a real person right now. We have been serving the Fort Worth community since 2001, and I am usually the one who answers the phone.
I built Gatewood Fence & Gate on a simple idea: if you fix it right the first time, you don’t have to worry about it again. Too many companies in Tarrant County want to sell you a brand-new system the moment a hinge sags or a sensor flickers. That is not how we do business. Whether you are dealing with a gate that won’t open after a heavy Texas rainstorm or a chain-link operator that has finally given up, my goal is to get your property secure again without empty promises or hidden fees.
Fast, Local Gate Repair
You need your gate to work, and you need it fixed without a week-long wait. We handle on-site welding, which means we bring the shop to your driveway. If your gate is dragging, sticking, or just plain stubborn, I can likely handle Weld & Rust Repair, realign the post, or service the motor right there on the spot. We carry parts for nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.
A gate usually sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. If a technician tells you they need to replace the entire panel because of a sag, they are probably missing the root cause. We provide Hinge & Post Repair, realign the gate, and ensure your access control system is calibrated correctly. Because I have been doing this for 29 years, I know that local soil conditions in places like North Richland Hills or the clay-heavy areas of Arlington can shift posts over time. We account for those local variables before we start any work. When you call (817) 241-4067, you are not getting a dispatch ticket; you are getting a conversation with someone who knows exactly how to get your gate moving again.
Our Repair Philosophy
Fixing a gate is about more than just swapping parts. It is about understanding the mechanical stress points. If your gate motor is straining, check the rollers and hinges first. Often, the motor is fine, but the physical gate is binding. We prioritize mechanical repairs before touching the electronics. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every invoice. If it isn’t right, I come back and make it right. That is the oldest accountability there is. We are locally owned and owner-operated, which means my name is on the shop and I am the one responsible for the work. You can always drive down to the shop if you need to look me in the eye.
We believe in upfront pricing. You will never hear “it depends” when you ask for a cost estimate. We offer:
- $40 off any repair over $200.
- No trip charge inside the county.
- Free second opinion on any written estimate you have received.
- Permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.

Is it Cheaper to Repair or Replace?
In most cases, a gate can be repaired for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. We look at the integrity of the frame and the motor. If the motor is obsolete and parts are no longer manufactured, or if the gate frame is rusted through to the point of structural failure, we will tell you honestly that replacement is the better long-term investment. However, if it is a hinge, a roller, a sensor, or a circuit board, we can almost always fix it-including expert Lock Repair. Call (817) 241-4067 and describe the issue-I can usually tell you over the phone whether it is worth fixing.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Fort Worth?
Gate repair costs vary based on the complexity of the issue, but we keep our pricing transparent and straightforward. Here is what you can generally expect for common issues:
| Service Type | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Hinge Welding & Realignment | $150 - $300 |
| Gate Motor Troubleshooting | $180 - $400 |
| Sensor Alignment & Cleaning | $120 - $250 |
| Gate Chain or Belt Replacement | $200 - $450 |
These are estimates, and we always provide a firm price before we start. Remember, we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you have already received from another company. If someone quoted you a high price for a part replacement, let us take a look.
Safety and Security
A gate that does not close is not just an inconvenience; it is a security risk. If your automatic gate is stuck open, your property is exposed. Please do not try to force a gate that is bound on the track. If the gate is heavy or the tension is high, you could cause further damage to the motor or, worse, injure yourself. We have background-checked, uniformed technicians who handle the heavy lifting. If the gate is high-tension, let us handle it safely. We are fully insured and bonded, so you never have to worry about liability when we are on your property.

What Our 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
