Why Joshua Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Joshua sits in a groove between city and country. The houses out along County Road 913 and the ranchettes off of FM 917 don’t have the same gate problems as the subdivisions platted near the high school off of Conveyor Drive. We work both sides of that line, and we’ve seen how the dirt moves under the posts here. Homeowners in Joshua keep our number because the same crew that understands a welded pipe cattle gate also knows how to re-program a solar swing opener on a decorative iron driveway gate. We carry the parts our technicians are most likely to need, so most jobs are done the first time out. Every finished repair is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, and that promise is written down, not implied. No fine print, no argument. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Joshua
Gate Repair
From fence-pull gates that scrape the caliche to cantilevered steel gates stuck halfway, we re-hang, re-weld, and re-align the hardware that wears out in Joshua’s clay soil. If a gate is binding or leaning, we’ll find the cause and quote the fix on the spot. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Joshua.
Gate Installation
A new gate in Joshua starts with a real conversation about the ground it will hang on and the vehicle that will pass through it. We build for the soil, the slope, and the swing, not just the opening. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Joshua.
Gate Motor & Opener
We service and replace openers on nine automation brands, including BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls. If your remote works sometimes but not others, or the gate stops mid-swing, the motor isn’t always the problem; we diagnose before we quote. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Joshua.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercom panels, vehicle detection loops, and remote systems all need to be matched to your gate and, just as importantly, protected from the weather. We strip and re-wire controls so they hold up through the Johnson County storms that kill cheaper boards. Learn more about Gate Access Control - Joshua when you call (817) 961-9404.
Gate Parts & Welding
We fabricate and weld replacement parts for gates that are no longer in production. If a hinge has sheared or a top rail has rusted through, we can often repair the original rather than replace the whole gate. Learn more about our gate parts and welding work when you call for a quote.

Why Joshua’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Joshua sits on Blackland Prairie and Cross Timbers clay, and that soil does something very particular here. It swells in the wet springs and shrinks through the summer droughts. A gate post set in concrete without proper depth will start to lean within a season or two. We see this constantly in Joshua, especially on ranchette properties east and south of downtown where a modern LiftMaster opener was bolted onto a post originally set for an old manual farm gate. The post cants inward, the opener arm binds, and the motor burns itself out trying to push a crooked gate. That’s a repair we recognize immediately on this side of Johnson County. The 2021 ice storm didn’t help either; frozen control boards and bent steel frames are still turning up across the area. We carry our Gate Parts & Welding in Joshua to fix both.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Joshua
Most gate repairs in Joshua fall between $180 and $340 for operator, sensor, and hinge work, while post resetting and opener replacement run higher due to labor and concrete work. You’ll get an exact written price before any work begins. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free estimate.
In most cases we can get a Joshua gate technician to your property within 24 hours, and live phone support is available around the clock at (817) 961-9404. If your gate is stuck open or your opener has failed completely, tell us when you call and we’ll prioritize the visit.
The expansive clay under Joshua swells and shrinks with the seasons, and posts set too shallow or in undersized footings will rack and lean, which binds the opener arm and eventually kills the motor. We reset posts with concrete depths matched to Johnson County soil, not standard suburban specs. That fix gets written into your 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes, we service and replace openers and access controls from BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and other major brands. We diagnose the whole system before quoting anything: the arm, the board, the sensor, the post, and the power source. The right fix on the first visit is the whole point.

What Joshua Customers Say
"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one on the truck, and we were moving cars again inside an hour."
- Chris Gallagher"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Devon Ingram
