AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Burleson
When a swing gate sags so hard it drags a trench in the Johnson County clay, or a weld lets go on a 14-foot pipe-rail entry, Burleson homeowners call us at (817) 286-7391. Most gate parts and welding repairs in Burleson run between $220 and $850 depending on whether we’re resetting a heaving post, replacing barrel hinges, or cutting and re-welding ornamental iron. We dispatch crews to Burleson daily from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and we know the 76028 and 76097 corridors well enough to predict what’s failing before we pull in the driveway.
Key Takeaways
- Burleson’s expansive clay soil torques hinge posts seasonally. Post replacement and hinge realignment are our most common calls here.
- We weld on-site and stock the common hinge, roller, and latch parts for Burleson’s two dominant gate types: cedar privacy gates and ornamental iron acreage gates.
- Every job is priced and agreed before work starts. You’ll know the number before a single bolt is turned.
- Victor Salinas leads our Gate Parts & Welding team. Every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Burleson Gate Owners Call Ironworks Gate Co. First
Our Gate Parts & Welding team has spent years working the fence lines and driveway entries of Burleson. The calls we take from 76028 look different from the ones in 76097: the first is a cedar privacy gate that’s bound at the latch because the post has moved a half inch; the second is a steel swing gate on a half-acre lot that needs a post reset 36 inches deep and three new welds. We arrive knowing which one we’re walking into.
Victor Salinas runs our Gate Parts & Welding division, and he’s particular about two things: the weld has to hold through the next ice storm, and the post has to sit plumb through the next clay heave cycle. Background-checked technicians in uniform handle every job. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so when a gate drops in a Friday evening thunderstorm, you’re talking to a human, not a voicemail. Burleson homeowners have been calling us for years because we show up when we say, quote the job honestly, and then back it in writing.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Burleson
Hinge Replacement
In Burleson, hinge failure is rarely just a hinge problem. The clay under your post moves, the post leans, the hinge takes all the load, and then it tears. We’ll inspect the post before we quote anything. If the post is sound, we replace the hinges with heavy-duty barrel or strap hinges matched to the gate’s weight. If the post has moved, we’ll tell you before we touch a hinge, because new hinges on a leaning post is money wasted.
Post Replacement
This is the real work in Burleson. Johnson County’s expansive clay shrinks in summer and swells after rain, torquing posts out of plumb season after season. We dig the old footing, set the new post 36 inches deep with proper concrete, brace it true, and re-hang the gate so it swings clean. On a 2-acre lot off FM 1187 in 76097, our crew replaced a severely twisted 6×6 hinge post for a 14-foot pipe-rail swing gate. We set a new post footing 36 inches deep, realigned the sag, and welded heavy-duty barrel hinges to match the original ornamental iron, so the gate swings true through Burleson’s clay heave cycles. That’s the standard we work to every time.
Rail Repair
Cedar privacy gates in Burleson’s 2000-2015 tract subdivisions are hitting their first major repair cycle, and the top and bottom rails are usually the first thing to go. North Texas UV breaks down the wood fiber, then a wet winter rots the rail ends where they meet the stile. We replace rails, reinforce corners with metal brackets or weld repair plates where the design allows, and get the gate square again. It’s straightforward work, but it has to be done with the right fasteners and the right wood, or you’ll be doing it again in three years.
Custom Welding
Burleson has a lot of ornamental iron on the outer acreage, and ornamental iron cracks. Ice storms drop branches on gates, temperature swings stress old welds, and gates that were welded in the 1990s are simply tired. We cut out the bad metal, grind clean, and weld in new steel, then match the paint or powder coat as closely as the existing finish allows. We’ve rebuilt hinge brackets, fabricated missing pickets, patched rusted-through rails, and built complete gate frames from square tube. If it’s steel and it broke, we can likely put it back stronger than it was.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Burleson Homes
- Swing gate sag from clay heave. Expansive clay in the 76097 corridor heaves hinge posts out of plumb within 2-3 years of installation, even on new gates. The gate drops at the latch side, the post leans, and the hinge screws wallow out. We pull the post, reset it deeper, and realign the gate.
- Weld cracks on ornamental iron. The rapid temperature swings along the I-35W corridor, plus the occasional ice storm, put real stress on old welds. Gates that looked fine in October show hairline cracks by February. We find and weld these before they become a dropped gate.
- Cedar gate frame rot. Burleson’s brutal summers dry and crack cedar boards, then wet winters push moisture into the rail ends. By year 15 or 20, the frame is soft. Rail repair or full-frame rebuild is a common call in the post-2000 subdivisions of 76028.
- Storm surge damage to opener circuits. Power surges on Johnson County acreage lots stress gate operator circuit boards and loop detectors. If your opener stopped working after a storm, the board may have taken a hit. We diagnose the damage upfront and replace only what’s failed.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Burleson
The gate keeps sagging because the problem is usually the post, not the hinge. Burleson sits on expansive clay that shrinks in drought and swells after rain, torquing posts out of plumb seasonally. New hinges on a moving post will fail again within a year or two. The fix is to reset the post with a deeper footing and proper concrete, then re-hang the gate. If your hinges were replaced recently and the gate is sagging again, call (817) 286-7391 and ask us to check the post. Estimates are free.
Yes, we can weld or bolt a replacement roller assembly onto your existing slide gate track, and we do this regularly in Burleson. We’ll match the roller to your gate’s weight and track style, then get the gate rolling clean. In some cases the track itself has been bent by post movement, and we’ll tell you if that needs attention before the new roller goes on. Call (817) 286-7391 for an exact quote.
We recommend a service check once a year for solar gate openers on Johnson County acreage. The dust, pollen, and summer heat stress batteries and panels, and a loose connection can leave you locked out at the road. Our $89 seasonal tune-up covers the basics: panel output, battery health, limit adjustments, and a once-over on the hinges and welds. Call (817) 286-7391 to schedule.
Replacing a hinge post on a heavy ornamental iron gate means pulling the old post and footing, digging a new hole 36 inches deep, setting a properly sized steel or 6×6 wood post in concrete, bracing it true, then re-hanging and welding the gate so it swings clean. We do this work regularly along FM 1187 and throughout the 76097 corridor. The goal is a post that stays plumb through Burleson’s clay heave cycles. Call (817) 286-7391 for a free estimate.
Because the gates were installed at the same time, by the same contractors, with the same materials. Burleson’s post-2000 subdivisions were built rapidly along FM 1187, and entire streets received nearly identical cedar fence-and-gate packages. Fifteen to twenty-five years later, those gates hit their first major repair cycle at roughly the same time. When one gate on a street starts sagging from post heave or hinge fatigue, the neighbors are usually close behind. If your neighbor’s gate just got fixed and yours is starting to look rough, call (817) 286-7391. We’ll come take a look.
