AfterGate Repair Services in Kennedale, TX
A gate that won’t open or close in Kennedale usually comes down to one of three things: a hinge that’s given out on a welded pipe gate, an operator that’s lost its programming, or a post that’s shifted with the clay soil. We fix all three, and most repairs are handled the same day we show up. Our crews know Kennedale’s specific mix of ranch-style acreage gates and suburban driveway gates, and a live person answers the phone at (817) 286-7391, day or night.
If you’re reading this with a gate stuck open, closed, or groaning at the post, you’re in the right place. We’re Ironworks Gate Co., and we work on gates in Kennedale every week, from the older horse properties off Treepoint Drive to the subdivision homes along Kennedale Parkway and the newer builds west of New Hope Road.

Why Kennedale Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Victor Salinas leads our team, and he runs the company the way a Kennedale homeowner thinks: do the job once, do it correctly, and stand behind it in writing. We don’t dispatch one-truck handymen who treat your gate like a side project. Every technician we send is background-checked, uniformed, and already fluent in the kinds of gates Kennedale actually has. That means a welder who can re-hang a sagging pipe gate on a horse property and a motor tech who knows why a solar-powered FAAC operator on a remote driveway loses its mind after a cloudy stretch in February.
Homeowners in Council Hill Estates and along Sublett Road have called us for everything from broken leaf chains to dead keypads. They stay because we give them a straight number before we start, we show up when we say we will, and we never leave a gate that works “well enough” when it should work right. Every job is covered by a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.
We’ve been doing this work for over 42 years, and we service nine major gate automation brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Mighty Mule service in Kennedale. So whatever opener is on your driveway, the correct fix usually happens on the first visit, not the third.

Why Kennedale’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Kennedale sits on Tarrant County’s Blackland Prairie clay, and that single fact drives more gate repair calls here than anything else. That clay swells hard when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry. Every cycle works its way under your gate posts, and over a few seasons the post leans out of plumb. A lean of even a quarter inch is enough to make a swing gate bind against the latch post, twist a hinge, or crack a weld at the base of a pipe gate. We see this pattern most on the older acreage lots along Sublett Road and on the horse properties where posts were set decades ago, before anyone thought to use deep concrete footings.
Then there’s the rural-residential mix. Kennedale’s identity as a “city in the country” inside the Metroplex means a good share of homes here run welded pipe gates with solar-powered operators, not the ornamental iron driveway gates you’ll find in Arlington or Mansfield. Those solar setups are practical when the gate is 300 feet from the nearest power tap, but after North Texas’s cloudy winter stretches, the batteries fade and the gate simply stops responding. The February 2021 ice storm also seized gears and cracked control-board housings on more than a few exposed operators along Kennedale’s farm roads. We carry the parts to fix those failures on the first visit because we know they’re coming before the homeowner does.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Kennedale
What does a gate repair in Kennedale cost? Most hinge replacements and post adjustments land between $250 and $450. A welded repair on a pipe gate is typically $150 to $350, depending on the extent of the crack and whether we need to reinforce the hinge mount. Solar operator repairs run from $225 for a battery replacement to $700 for a full board and gear swap. Automatic opener replacement is $950 to $2,400, depending on whether you’re staying with solar or running line voltage.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Kennedale
Yes. We carry replacement batteries, charge controllers, and common FAAC and LiftMaster solar components on our trucks. If a solar operator is down due to battery failure, a cloudy-weather drain, or a disconnected panel, a technician can usually have it running before leaving the property. Call (817) 286-7391 for an exact arrival time.
Most sagging pipe gate repairs in Kennedale cost between $250 and $450, including hinge replacement and post realignment. The final price depends on how far the post has shifted and whether welds need reinforcement. We quote the full amount before work begins, so the invoice always matches the estimate. Call (817) 286-7391 for a free estimate.
Yes, we do agricultural-style welded pipe gates, double pasture gates, and ranch entrance gates throughout Kennedale. Our technicians are as comfortable with a welder and a post level as they are with control boards and remotes. That combination matters on acreage where the gate is heavy, the post has shifted, and the operator is solar-powered.
We serve all of Kennedale, including Council Hill Estates, the Kennedale Parkway corridor, the acreage homes off Sublett Road, Treepoint Drive, and the neighborhoods west of New Hope Road. There’s no minimum distance from a main road: if your gate is at the end of a long gravel driveway, we’ll drive to it.
On Kennedale’s Blackland Prairie clay, the soil expands when wet and pushes gate posts out of alignment. That expansion is usually enough to make a swing gate catch on its latch post or drag on the ground. We true up the post, reset the hinges, and often install a deeper footing to keep it from happening repeatedly.

What Kennedale Customers Say
"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
- Eric Padgett"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."
