AfterGate Repair in Irving, TX
Most gate problems in Irving fall into two categories: the automation that controls the gate, and the steel or iron that holds it together. On the automation side, we see a lot of original 1980s and 1990s control boards in Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek that are now obsolete, so the fix is often a full operator conversion rather than a board swap. On the physical side, Blackland Prairie clay keeps gate posts moving, which means hinges bind, rails twist, and welds crack. If your gate won’t open, sags, or makes a grinding sound, call (817) 674-6552 and we’ll name the problem and the written price before anything gets touched.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving sits on expansive clay. Through North Texas wet and dry cycles, that soil swells in spring and contracts through late summer, and the ground under a gate post is never quite the same week to week. A post set plumb in May can be half an inch out by August, which changes the swing arc, loads the hinges unevenly, and eventually pulls the operator’s arm bracket out of alignment. We adjust for that movement on nearly every Irving visit, and we document the post position so the next adjustment is faster.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek were built in the 1980s and 1990s with an unusually high density of ornamental wrought-iron driveway and community-entry gates, and those original operators and control boards are now 30 to 40 years old. Many still run early-generation swing-gate motors whose control boards are no longer manufactured, so a “simple repair” call in Valley Ranch often becomes a documented operator conversion to a modern LiftMaster or FAAC unit. Meanwhile, Las Colinas brings a different animal: high-cycle commercial cantilever slide gates and card-access systems on corporate campuses. The technician who works both sides of that divide sees two very different failure patterns in the same day.
The February 2021 ice storm compounded the existing soil problem. We still find cracked welds and water-damaged operator housings from that week, particularly on north-facing gates that never fully dried out. It is a repeat-call driver we quote for explicitly now.
Our Main Irving Services
Irving homeowners call us most often for three things: a gate that stopped moving, a gate that needs replacing, and a motor that died or never worked right. Each of these has its own page with local pricing and the full breakdown.
Gate Repair in Irving
Hinges, posts, wheels, welds, and the mechanical parts that carry the gate’s weight fail on a schedule the Texas climate dictates. In Irving, the clay soil accelerates that schedule. We quote the repair in writing before work starts, and every visit leaves you with a photo log of what we found and what we changed. Gate Repair in Irving covers the common failure points and what they cost here.
Gate Installation in Irving
A new gate in Irving should be built for the soil it sits on: deeper post footings than the original 1980s installs, a high-cycle operator, and hardware sized for a 40-year service life. HOA submissions in Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek need drawings and material lists, and we provide those with every bid. Gate Installation in Irving walks through the process and the local price ranges.
Gate Motor & Opener in Irving
When an operator fails in Irving, the first question is whether the control board is still available. Older boards often aren’t, so the repair becomes a conversion to a current LiftMaster or FAAC unit that keeps the existing gate and adds modern safety edges. Gate Motor & Opener in Irving gives the symptom-by-symptom breakdown and the written-price promise.

AfterGate Access Control in Irving
Irving’s access-control work splits two ways. On the Las Colinas side, corporate campuses run high-cycle card readers and video intercoms that see hundreds of cycles a day. On the residential side, Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek homeowners still use original keypad and phone-entry systems installed in the 1980s and 1990s. Both fail differently. A corporate card reader fails from wear; a 1980s residential keypad fails because the board inside is obsolete and the weather-seal finally gave out. This is the work our Gate Access Control division handles, and every job starts with a written price before we touch the panel.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad accepts some codes but not others, or buttons require multiple firm presses before they register.
What it costs in Irving
Keypad replacement in Irving typically runs $380-$650, including the new weather-sealed keypad and programming to the existing operator.
How we do it
We verify power at the keypad, confirm the wire run is intact, replace or reprogram the unit, photograph the new code settings, and leave you a written record.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
The caller can hear you but you cannot see them, or the monitor shows a black screen while audio still passes.
What it costs in Irving
Video intercom replacement and wiring repair in Irving typically runs $900-$1,500, depending on whether the existing cable can be reused.
How we do it
We test the camera feed at the panel, identify whether the cable or the unit failed, replace the minimum component needed, and hand you the image settings we set.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Keypad replacement | $380-$650 |
| Card reader installation | $700-$1,200 |
| Video intercom replacement | $900-$1,500 |
Can you integrate a new keypad with my 1980s operator?
Usually yes. The keypad sends a dry-contact signal to the operator’s open input, so it works with almost any motor. The limit-switch and safety-edge wiring stays untouched. Call (817) 674-6552 for an exact quote.
Why did my card reader stop reading cards in Irving’s summer heat?
We see this on east-facing Las Colinas pedestals. The Texas sun degrades the card reader’s internal antenna and plastics. Replacement with a higher-temperature-rated unit fixes it. Estimates are free and written.
Gate Parts & Welding in Irving
Irving’s wrought-iron gates are old enough that the steel itself is now the failure point, not just the motor. North Texas clay shifts the posts, and that movement transfers stress to the hinges, the welds, and the rail joints. The February 2021 ice event accelerated a lot of that: water got into micro-cracks in the iron, froze, and split welds that had held for 30 years. Our Gate Parts & Welding team handles every part of this, from hinge replacement to full post extraction and re-setting, and every repair is photographed and documented before we leave.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate drags on the latch side, or the hinge pin shows visible wear grooves and the gate sags visibly when open.
What it costs in Irving
Hinge replacement on an Irving wrought-iron gate typically runs $250-$500 per hinged pair, including cutting and welding in the new hinge.
How we do it
We support the gate, cut out the old hinge, weld in the new one, adjust the swing arc, and photograph the finished weld for your record.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans more than a degree off plumb, or you can see rust blistering around the base where drainage collects.
What it costs in Irving
Post replacement in Irving’s clay soil typically runs $600-$1,100, including digging out the old footing and pouring a deeper, properly drained one.
How we do it
We remove the old post, excavate the footing, set the new post in concrete below the clay’s active zone, and document the plumb reading with a level.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per pair) | $250-$500 |
| Post replacement | $600-$1,100 |
| On-site weld repair | $150-$300 per joint |
Can you weld my gate in place, or does it have to come off?
Most weld repairs happen in place with the gate supported. We only remove the gate for post extraction or when the weld needs a full 360-degree bead. Call (817) 674-6552 for a written quote.
How deep do you set posts in Irving’s clay?
We set posts below the clay’s active swell zone, typically 30-36 inches deep, and add gravel drainage at the base. This prevents the seasonal heave that keeps pulling gates out of plumb. Free estimates.

Two things push prices up in Irving more than anywhere else: obsolete control boards on 1980s Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek operators, which turn a board repair into a full operator conversion, and post movement from the clay soil, which often means a deeper footing than the original. Whatever the job, the price is written and handed to you before any work starts, and it doesn’t change unless we find something you approve in writing first.
