AfterGate Repair Services in Kennedale, TX
A gate that won’t open in Kennedale isn’t just a nuisance. It traps a horse trailer behind a sagging pipe gate on a New Hope Road property, or leaves your driveway open to the street overnight. Most gate repairs in the 76060 ZIP come down to two things: posts heaved out of plumb by Tarrant County clay, or an operator that gave out after years of daily use. We fix both, and we answer the phone when you call: (817) 961-9404. A live person picks up, every time, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not an answering service.
Ironworks Gate Co. works exclusively on gates. We’re not a general handyman squeezing gate calls between fence jobs and appliance installs. We weld, we wire, and we stand behind the work with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Victor Salinas leads a crew that has seen every gate failure North Texas dirt and weather can produce, from a twisted chain-link swing gate on a half-acre off Dick Price Road to a high-cycle slide gate at a fabricator’s yard off Kennedale Parkway.

Why Kennedale Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Kennedale is a specific kind of place. You can drive from a subdivision street to a gravel road with a horse paddock in five minutes. That mix means our service calls in Kennedale bounce between ornamental driveway gates and ranch-style steel gates, often on the same route. We know the difference between a tubular gate that needs the hinges built back up with weld pass and an aluminum gate that needs the post re-plumbed before the latch will ever line up again.
What local homeowners tell us matters most: the phone gets answered by a person, the price is settled before any work starts, and the technician shows up in uniform with a background check on file. We serve all of Kennedale, from the older acreage lots along Little School Road to the newer streets near Sonora Park. Every job ends the same way: done right, and backed in writing.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Kennedale
Gate Repair
Broken hinges, sagging gates, latches that won’t catch, cracked welds, posts leaning out of line. We repair the gate itself rather than talking you into replacing it when a weld pass and a fresh hinge pin would do the job. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Kennedale.
Gate Installation
New driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and ranch or pasture gates built to handle Kennedale’s soil movement and daily use. We measure, order, fabricate what’s needed, and install with a written quote before the first tool comes off the truck. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Kennedale.
Gate Motor & Opener
Operators that grind, click, or simply don’t respond. We service and install automation on nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Kennedale.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, telephone entry, remotes, and vehicle detection for both residential and commercial gates. If your gate controls need rewiring or reconfiguring, we handle the low-voltage side without leaving a spliced mess behind.
Gate Parts & Welding
Custom brackets, hinge rebuilds, post repairs, and full weld jobs on steel gates across the 76060 ZIP. Blacksmith-grade work, not a patch job.

Why Kennedale’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Kennedale sits on some of the most active expansive clay in Tarrant County. Heavy spring rains swell the soil under gate posts. Brutal summer drought shrinks it back. That cycle, repeated year after year, pushes posts out of plumb. A gate that closed perfectly in April suddenly drags on the latch side by August. We see this on nearly every ranch-style gate repair call in Kennedale, especially on the heavier pipe and tubular steel gates that anchor horse properties and small livestock operations.
Winter ice events add their own damage. Exposed operators and unpainted steel frames can freeze, crack, or warp during the rare hard freezes that hit North Texas. Housing stock in Kennedale leans older, with many 1970s through 1990s ranch homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots. Those gates were often welded on-site decades ago, and their hinges, latches, and posts carry the accumulated stress of thirty or forty years of soil movement. The local light-industrial corridor compounds the workload: commercial yards along Kennedale Parkway run slide and swing gates through dozens of cycles a day, far beyond anything a residential gate sees, and they need commercial-grade operators and properly rated control boxes to keep running.

What Kennedale Customers Say
"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Devon Ingram"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"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."
