AfterGate Repair in Hurst, TX
Gate access control work in Hurst usually comes down to two things: keypads and intercoms that quit after a hard rain, and swing gates that no longer close because the hinge post has shifted in the clay. Most of the homes we see in Hurst were built between the late 1950s and mid-1970s, which means the gate posts were set 24 to 30 inches deep in Blackland Prairie soil that expands wet and cracks dry. That single fact drives more gate repair and parts work in this city than any other. Call (817) 674-6552 and we’ll put the price in writing before anything gets touched.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst sits on expansive clay that swells hard after spring thunderstorms and pulls away from footings during 100-degree summer weeks. Gate posts set for the shallower standards of the 1960s and 1970s heave and lean season after season, and no hinge adjustment can fix that permanently. The housing stock compounds the problem: Hurst is largely built out, mostly ranch-style brick homes with wood privacy fences and swing gates. We routinely find rotted bottom rails, original steel hinges corroded through, and posts that were never concreted properly for the soil movement.
In older neighborhoods like Mayfair, Bellaire Addition, and the streets off Precinct Line Road, a dragging gate almost always means pulling and resetting the hinge post, not swapping hardware. The February 2021 winter storm also left widespread gate damage across Hurst, and plenty of those repairs were done partially or temporarily. We see the follow-up work every month. The wet-dry cycle here means a gate that worked fine in March can be binding by July, and that’s a condition specific to this city’s soil, not a defective operator.
Our Main Hurst Services
These are the three services Hurst homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own dedicated page for the full detail.
Gate Repair in Hurst
Hurst gate repair usually starts with finding out why the gate is dragging, sticking, or refusing to latch. Given the clay soil and older post depths in this city, the answer is frequently a shifted post rather than a worn hinge. Our Gate Repair in Hurst page covers what we check first, what it costs, and how the written quote works before any tool comes out.
Gate Installation in Hurst
Installation in Hurst means matching the gate to the house and the soil. A new gate on a 1960s brick ranch in this city needs a post set to the current 42-inch minimum, not the 24-inch standard from when the block was built. Gate Installation in Hurst walks through material choices, proper footing work, and what a full replacement includes.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst
Operators on Hurst gates contend with heat, humidity, and the occasional power surge from spring storms. A motor that works one season and fails the next often has a limit-switch or capacitor problem we can solve without a full replacement. Read more at Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst.

AfterGate Access Control in Hurst
Gate access control in Hurst means keypads, intercoms, card readers, and phone-entry systems on residential and light-commercial gates across the city. The recurring problem here is weather exposure: keypads mounted on unshaded brick columns in Tarrant County heat degrade their membrane switches faster than shaded installs, and spring thunderstorms find every marginal seal. Because many Hurst homes predate modern access-control wiring, a surprising number of upgrades we do involve pulling fresh low-voltage lines through old fence runs. Our hub page on Gate Access Control explains the full range of what we service.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
Keys stopped responding and the gate only opens from inside, or the keypad lights up but won’t take the code.
What it costs in Hurst
Keypad replacement or programming in Hurst typically runs $180 to $340, depending on whether the housing and backplate are reusable.
How we do it
We test the existing keypad first, then either reprogram it on the spot or swap in a weather-sealed unit and photograph the final wiring before we leave.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
The screen at the house shows nothing when the gate button is pressed, or the audio works but the camera feed is blank.
What it costs in Hurst
Video intercom replacement in Hurst typically ranges from $400 to $800, including the new camera module and wiring check.
How we do it
We trace the low-voltage feed from the gate to the house first, then mount the replacement camera, set the monitor, and photograph the completed install with the model number documented.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Keypad entry replacement | $180 - $340 |
| Video intercom replacement | $400 - $800 |
| Diagnostic visit (credited to repair) | $79 - $129 |
Do you work on existing access-control systems from any brand?
Yes. We service access-control hardware from BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and five other major brands. Call (817) 674-6552 and tell us what’s on the gate; we’ll bring the right parts on the first trip.
Can you add a keypad to a gate that currently uses only a remote?
Yes, in most cases. We run the low-voltage wire from the operator to the column or post, mount the keypad, and program it to the existing receiver. Call (817) 674-6552 for a written price.
Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Gate parts and welding in Hurst revolve around age and soil movement. Wood swing gates from the 1960s and 1970s commonly have rotted bottom rails and steel hinges that have spent fifty years rusting against damp clay. When the hinge post has also moved, the honest repair is a post reset and re-hang, not a quick hardware swap. Our Gate Parts & Welding page covers the full scope of fabrication and steel work we do on residential gates across Hurst.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate sags or drags on one side and you can see the hinge pin has elongated or the strap has started to pull from the wood.
What it costs in Hurst
Hinge replacement in Hurst typically runs $120 to $280, depending on whether we’re reusing the existing post or setting new hardware in fresh concrete.
How we do it
We pull the old hinge hardware, check the post for movement, and re-anchor the new hinges with proper fasteners matched to the post material.
Rail Repair
Signs you need it
The bottom rail of the gate is soft, split, or pulling away, often where it meets the pickets or the frame.
What it costs in Hurst
Rail repair in Hurst typically ranges from $150 to $300 per section, depending on the rail length and whether the wood is cedar, red oak, or pressure-treated.
How we do it
We cut out the rotted section, fit a matching rail, and fasten it through the pickets before photographing the repair for your record.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement | $120 - $280 |
| Rail repair | $150 - $300 |
| Steel gate welding repair (per section) | $150 - $400 |
Can you weld a broken steel gate in place, or does it need to come off?
Most steel gate welding in Hurst can be done in place if the post is stable. If the post has shifted, we’ll quote pulling and resetting it as part of the same job before any welding happens.
Do you match replacement parts to the existing gate, or use generic hardware?
We match the existing hardware and material. A cedar gate in Hurst gets cedar rail stock; a steel frame gets welded repair matched to the original profile. Call (817) 674-6552 for a written quote.
