Everman sits on Blackland Prairie clay that moves more than most homeowners realize. Waterlogged winters swell it. July and August bake it hard. Gate posts that were set decades ago with a couple inches of concrete end up leaning, twisting, and pulling hinges out of square. We’re the Gate Parts & Welding team that deals with that specific soil every week. You won’t get a generic fix here. You’ll get one that accounts for what’s under your post.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Everman’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’ve spent over 42 years fixing gates across Tarrant County, and Everman has its own character. The homes off W Enon Ave, the blocks around Enon Elementary, the older ranch streets near Bishop Park, they were mostly built between the late 1950s and early 1980s. Chain-link perimeter fencing with simple galvanized swing gates. That’s what we work on most here, and it’s work that demands patience, not just parts.
Victor Salinas, our owner, still insists on the same standard his crews have followed since 1984: square the post first, then talk about hardware. When an Everman homeowner calls at 7 a.m. or 9 p.m., a live person picks up the phone. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue. Every completion is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and fix it. That’s the deal, spelled out on paper, or it will be right.
We dispatch and schedule from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our crews serve Everman directly. Most hinge and post jobs on this side of southern Tarrant County are completed in one visit. You’ll know the price before we start, and you’ll know it won’t change after we finish.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Everman
Hinge Replacement
Everman’s clay soil is hardest on single-leaf chain-link gates. The post rotates, the leaf drops, and the hinges bend before they fail outright. We cut off the old hardware, inspect the post’s plumb, and only then weld or bolt new hinges. If the post has moved more than half an inch, hinge replacement alone won’t hold. We’ll tell you that plainly before any work is quoted. Typical hinge replacement in Everman runs $140-$320, and we keep common chain-link and wood gate hinge sets on the truck.
Post Replacement
This is the core trade in Everman. The original 1970s tract builders set gate posts with minimal or no concrete, and the Blackland Prairie heave has been working against them for fifty years. We auger out the old footing, set a new galvanized post in a proper concrete collar, and brace it true before the gate goes back on. Post replacement here typically costs $380-$700, and we quote it as a complete job: post, concrete, labor, and re-hang. You’ll agree to the number before we dig.
Rail Repair
Top rails on chain-link gates crack at the hinge side when the post leans. Sometimes the rail can be sleeved. More often on Everman’s older gates, the metal is too thin and galvanic corrosion has done its work. We’ll cut the damaged section, weld in a matching-diameter rail, and re-tension the fabric if needed. Rail repairs in Everman typically run $120-$260, and we match the gauge of your existing pipe so the gate doesn’t develop a weak point.
Custom Welding
Not everything is off-the-shelf. We’ve fabricated gate extensions, drop rods, cane bolts, custom latch plates, and reinforced corner brackets for Everman homeowners who want their original gate to last another two decades. Our welders work in steel and aluminum. A custom weld repair like a broken gate corner or a bent leaf frame usually lands between $180 and $480, depending on the extent of the metalwork and whether we need to remove the leaf to weld flat on the truck bed. Victor’s name goes on every custom job we weld in Everman, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers each one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Everman
Most Everman gates are manual, but when automation shows up, it tends to be Mighty Mule, LiftMaster, or FAAC hardware on a chain-link or tubular steel frame. Our technicians are trained and equipped on nine opener brands, and we stock common Mighty Mule and LiftMaster parts in our service vehicles serving Everman. The operator isn’t the weak point on Everman gates. The post is. We’ll make sure both are right before we call the job complete.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Everman Homes
- Hinge posts rotated by clay movement. Blackland Prairie soil swells when wet and contracts hard in summer heat. Posts set in the 1970s with a thin concrete collar lean out of plumb, which means the gate drags on the ground and the latch misses the post. A hinge swap doesn’t fix it. The post has to come out and be re-set.
- Latches that stop catching after a dry season. When the soil contracts, the post tilts away from the latch bar. We see this every August. Homeowners often loosen and retighten the latch for a few weeks before calling us, but the fix is structural: re-set the post, then re-square the hardware.
- Frozen latch mechanisms after winter ice storms. Southern Tarrant County gets periodic ice that coats gate frames and freezes latch internals solid. Forcing the gate open bends the handle or snaps the spring. We keep replacement latch assemblies on the truck and can usually swap one out in Everman the same visit.
- Broken top rails on 40-year-old chain-link gates. The galvanizing eventually fails, the pipe rusts through at the hinge bracket, and the gate sags even when the post is straight. Rail repair is cheaper than leaf replacement, and done right, it will outlast the original install.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Everman
The post was likely set with minimal or no concrete decades ago, and Everman’s Blackland Prairie clay is rotating it a little more each season. Straightening hinges only masks the problem. The permanent fix is pulling the post, augering a deeper hole, setting a new galvanized post in concrete, and re-hanging the gate. Call (817) 286-7391 for a free assessment; we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a post job or a hinge job before quoting anything.
Yes, and we do it regularly. We cut back the rusted section, weld in a matching-gauge pipe, and re-tension the fabric. The gate doesn’t need to match a new one; it needs the rail to be structurally sound again. Rail repair is our most common welding call in Everman, and a good repair will cost less than a new leaf.
We dig out the old post and any remaining concrete, auger a new hole below the frost line, set a new galvanized post in a proper concrete collar, brace it plumb, and let the concrete cure before re-hanging the gate. On Everman soil, we also slope the concrete away from the post to shed water and reduce future heave. Budget $380-$700 for the full job; we quote it before any dirt moves.
We do. Most Everman gates are swing-style, but some lots back up to alleys or commercial edges in southern Tarrant County where a slide gate makes more sense. We stock roller assemblies and track hardware, and we’ll weld new roller brackets if your existing gate is steel. If the gate was wood, we’ll tell you whether a roller conversion is worth the cost or whether a swing rebuild is the smarter money.
If your gate reverses for no reason, won’t close without holding the button, or the operator blinks a diagnostic code that matches a photo cell fault on LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, or FAAC units, the cells are likely misaligned or failed. Our technicians service those brands and seven others. We’ll test the cells on site, tell you whether it’s an alignment issue or a replacement, and quote the parts before we touch anything. Call (817) 286-7391 for a service visit.
One More Thing About Everman’s Soil
Most national gate parts pages will sell you a hinge set and wish you luck. Everman’s soil doesn’t work that way. On these older working-class blocks, the hinge post was the afterthought of a 1970s tract builder who set it in a two-inch concrete cookie and moved on to the next house. Fifty years of wet winters and brutal summers later, that post is canted, the gate drags, and the latch has given up. We see it on W Enon Ave and the surrounding streets every week. So we don’t just replace hardware. We replace the footing. We re-set the post. We weld what needs welding and bolt what needs bolting, and then we stand behind it in writing.
Last spring our crew was called to a ranch home off of W Enon Ave where a galvanized chain-link swing gate had sagged enough to drag. The original hinge post had no concrete footing and had rotated nearly two inches out of plumb from clay shrink-swell. We pulled the old post, augered a deeper hole, set a new galvanized post in concrete, and welded replacement hinges before re-hanging the leaf. The owner expected a quick bolt-on and was surprised the fix took the afternoon, but the gate now swings clean through its arc.
That’s the difference between a parts seller and a gate company that works in Everman every week. We will be there when we say. The price gets agreed before we start work, and it won’t change after. Done right, and backed in writing.
