If you own a FAAC swing gate or slide gate in Coppell and the hinges are sagging, the post is leaning, or a weld has cracked, this page tells you what’s actually going on and what it costs to fix it. Call (817) 674-6552 and a live person answers, any hour.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Hinge weld fatigue on C720 and C721 swing operators. FAAC’s hydraulic swing arms are built well, but the hinge brackets that connect the arm to the gate and post take repeated stress every cycle. In Coppell’s clay-heavy soil, posts shift slightly with seasonal moisture changes, which puts angular strain on the hinge welds until they crack. We grind out the failed weld, re-weld with proper penetration, and add a gusset plate where the bracket geometry allows it. The fix holds because we address the bracket angle, not just the crack.
• Post lean on S418 and S450 slide gate installations. Coppell yards with heavy blackland clay expand and contract enough to move gate posts over time. On FAAC slide gates, a leaning post throws the rack alignment off by a fraction of an inch, and the gate starts grinding against the guide rollers. We straighten or reset the post, re-weld the rack mounts if they’ve torn loose, and photograph the final alignment before we leave.
• Broken chain idler brackets on 400 Series slide operators. The FAAC 400 operator family uses a chain drive, and the idler bracket at the far end of the rail is usually the first thing to fail on older Coppell installs. The bracket fatigues because the chain was run a notch too tight from day one. We replace the bracket, set the chain tension to FAAC spec, and document the tension reading in your job record.
• Gate roller failures where the track sits low. FAAC slide gates riding on steel V-track rollers wear out fast in Coppell because the track collects fine silt and debris from spring thunderstorms. We see rollers with flat spots within three years on gates that drain poorly. We replace the roller set, clean and re-level the track, and recommend a drainage notch if the track sits below grade.
• Latch and lock misalignment on FAAC pedestrian gates. When the gate post moves even a quarter inch, the mechanical latch stops lining up with the receiver plate on the post. The operator then fights the latch on every open cycle, which burns through shear pins faster. We re-align the latch, shim or re-weld the receiver, and adjust the operator’s limit switches so the gate stops exactly where it should.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Call and describe the symptom. A live person answers at (817) 674-6552. We ask specific questions: Which FAAC model is on the property? Is the gate dragging, grinding, or refusing to open? What did it sound like when it started failing? We’re listening for clues that tell us whether this is a parts issue or a weld failure before we even schedule.
2. 2
   We arrive with a written scope. The technician arrives in uniform, introduces himself by name, and writes down what he’s going to inspect. No work starts until you’ve seen the written scope. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it’s not negotiable.
3. 3
   Diagnosis happens in front of you. We test the gate through its full travel, check hinge slop, inspect welds with a bright light, and take limit-switch readings on FAAC operators. We’ll show you the cracked weld or the sheared bracket before we propose a fix. Find it, price it, fix it, document it – in that order.
4. 4
   Parts decision, written price. We’ll tell you which parts we recommend, whether OEM FAAC or a quality aftermarket equivalent makes sense for your situation, and the exact dollar figure for parts and labor. The price on the sheet is the price on the invoice. No discovery fees, no added charges after the fact.
5. 5
   Repair, test, photograph. We do the welding or parts replacement, run the gate through at least 10 full open-close cycles, and photograph the finished work along with every adjustment. You get a photo log and a written record of the part number installed before we leave.
6. 6
   365-day follow-through. If anything about the repair isn’t right within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it covers every FAAC job we complete.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Coppell

Here’s what we quote on FAAC work in Coppell. These are real ranges we’ve written on actual job sheets:

• Hinge repair or replacement (weld-in): $180-$420 per hinge, depending on the gate weight and whether we’re rebuilding the existing hinge or installing a new adjustable weld-in hinge.
• Post straightening or resetting (swing gate): $250-$600, depending on how far the post has moved and whether we can pull it back or need to dig and reset.
• Weld repair on cracked brackets or operator mounts: $150-$380, including grinding, re-welding, and repainting the affected area.
• Rail or track repair (slide gate): $220-$650, depending whether we’re re-welding the existing rail, splicing in a new section, or re-leveling the entire track.
• Gate roller replacement (set of 2-4): $140-$330 including parts and alignment.
• Complete latch and lock replacement: $120-$280 depending on the hardware.

What moves the price: gate weight, post condition, access room for welding, and whether the existing steel is thick enough to weld without adding reinforcement plate. You get the exact number in writing before any work starts. Call (817) 674-6552 for a free estimate on your specific FAAC gate.
