Why Arlington Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
There’s a particular kind of homeowner in Arlington who calls us. They’ve lived in the same house for twenty, sometimes thirty years. They remember the last contractor who showed up late and left a gate that still dragged. What they want, and what we deliver, is a gate that works the first time we leave the driveway, guaranteed in writing for 90 days. Our Done Right Promise is simple: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing.
We serve the whole city, from the mature streets of Dalworthington Gardens and the established homes around North Arlington’s Meadowbrook, to the HOA-governed communities along Green Oaks Boulevard. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine gate-automation brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, and Mighty Mule. That breadth matters on the first visit, because we fix the actual problem, not the symptom. Victor Salinas leads our team, and the standard he set from day one is the one we still work to: the 400th job gets the same care as the first.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Arlington
Gate Repair
A sagging gate is usually a post problem, not a hinge problem. In Arlington, where clay soil shifts every season, we reset posts with deeper footings so the fix holds through the next wet year. From broken hinges and cracked welds to gates that won’t latch, we diagnose and correct the failure in one visit.
Learn more about our Gate Repair in Arlington.
Gate Installation
A new gate should be measured for the driveway it’s actually going on. We fabricate and install wood, ornamental iron, aluminum, and steel gates, with post footings sized for Arlington’s Blackland Prairie clay, not for a generic Texas lot.
Learn more about our Gate Installation in Arlington.
Gate Motor & Opener
When an opener hums but won’t move, or reverses halfway, the cause is often a worn capacitor, stripped gear, or misaligned photo eye. We service and replace operators across nine brands, so whatever is on your driveway, we can get it running again.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, remotes, and vehicle sensors, we wire and program them all. If your access panel is dead after an Arlington storm, we trace the fault and repair or replace the component, not the whole system.
Call (817) 286-7391 to schedule access control service in Arlington.
Gate Parts & Welding
Wrought iron gates crack at the welds over time, and wood gates rot at the bottom rail. We stock common parts on the truck and weld or fabricate what we don’t carry, so you don’t wait a week for a hinge bracket.
Call (817) 286-7391 for gate parts and welding in Arlington.

We work across Arlington regularly, from the older, tree-lined streets near the University of Texas at Arlington to the newer builds along Viridian’s lakefront. Typical response time anywhere in the city is same day or next morning for repair work.

Why Arlington’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Arlington sits on Blackland Prairie clay, a soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement pushes concrete footings up and down, and gates lean. We see it every spring after the rains and every August after six weeks of triple-digit heat. In neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest or the subdivisions off Arkansas Lane, gates that were straight in March are binding by June, not because the hardware failed, but because the ground moved underneath it.
Resetting a leaning post in the same hole with the same amount of concrete is a waste of money on this soil. The clay will heave again by the next wet cycle. The fix that lasts in Arlington is a bell-bottom footing or a helical pier anchor, drilled below the active clay zone. It’s a technique that almost never comes up in sandy-soil markets, but around here it’s the difference between a gate that holds for two years and one that’s still plumb in twenty. We apply the same local thinking to Arlington’s heat: UV degrades wood gates fast, so we recommend and apply finishes that hold up to 100-degree summers.
Most of the gates we repair in Arlington belong to homes built between 1970 and 2000. Those ranch-style properties often have wood privacy fence gates rotting at the bottom rail, or hinge-side posts pulling loose from the ground. In master-planned communities like Viridian, the gates are more often ornamental iron or aluminum with HOA requirements, which means welding and powder-coat matching come into play. Both ends of that spectrum are our daily work.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Arlington
Most gate repairs in Arlington run from $195 to $650, with the average job landing around $300.

The clay soil under your driveway absorbs water, swells, and pushes your gate post off plumb. Then in drought, the soil shrinks and the post settles crooked. This is the most common gate problem we see in Arlington, and the only lasting fix is a deeper footing or helical pier anchor, not just more concrete in the same hole.
We service nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Mighty Mule. If your opener is on that list, we carry or can quickly source parts for it. If it’s an older or off-brand unit, we’ll assess it honestly and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
Yes. We’re familiar with HOA requirements in Arlington’s planned communities, including Viridian, where gate materials and finishes are often specified.

What Arlington Customers Say
"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Jamal Dawson"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Devon Ingram"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
