AfterGate Repair Services in Cleburne, TX
Gate repair in Cleburne typically runs $180 to $340 for common fixes like hinge replacement or operator realignment, though heavier post work on acreage gates can reach $800 to $1,400 depending on the steel and the soil. Most of our Cleburne calls are answered the same day or next morning, and every job starts with a written price before we touch a single bolt. If your gate is sagging, grinding, or refusing to open, call (817) 961-9404 and a live person will answer, day or night.
We know Cleburne’s gates because we know Cleburne’s ground. The clay here swells in spring and shrinks in August, and a gate that hung true for twenty years can start binding the latch in a single wet season. Whether you are off County Road 1223 near the Nolan River or tucked into a subdivision off Henderson Street, we will send a background-checked, uniformed technician who has seen your exact failure pattern before, often on the same day you call.

Why Cleburne Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Most of our Cleburne customers have lived on their property for twenty years or more. They are not looking for the cheapest repair. They are looking for the last repair. That is the work we do, and it is why so many of our calls come from longtime residents in Belclaire, Westhill, and the acreage stretches east of town toward Grandview.
Every job is protected by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee that means exactly what it says: if it is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. Our technicians carry certified training on nine opener brands including LiftMaster, BFT, and Ghost Controls, so the correct diagnosis happens on the first visit, not the third. And when you call at 6 a.m. on a Saturday because the gate is stuck halfway and the cattle are eyeing the road, you get a person, not a voicemail tree.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Cleburne
Gate Repair
We repair the full range of Cleburne’s driveway and ranch gates: broken hinge welds, seized wheel bearings, bent posts, torn frames, and latches that no longer catch. Most repairs are completed in one visit, and the price is settled in writing before we begin.

Gate Installation
Whether you are replacing a rotted ranch gate or adding a new automated entry on a fresh build off Highway 171, we measure, order, weld, and install the gate to match the terrain and the traffic. We quote the full job up front and stand behind the work in writing.

Gate Motor & Opener
From solar operators on remote pasture lanes to high-use residential openers near Nolan River estates, we service and replace motors, control boards, remotes, and limit switches. If the arm moves but the gate does not, we will find the cause.

Gate Access Control
Gate Access Control - Cleburne systems including keypads, intercoms, telephone entry, vehicle sensors, and card readers all fall within our scope, and we size the system to your actual traffic. A ranch gate that shares a lease road with a neighbor needs different controls than a single-family driveway in Westhill.
Learn more about our access control and keypad work by calling (817) 961-9404.
Gate Parts & Welding
We keep common wear parts on the truck and we weld on site for our Gate Parts & Welding in Cleburne when a hinge or frame has cracked. A broken weld on a 16-foot pipe gate is a two-hour repair for us, not a two-week wait for a fabricator.

Why Cleburne’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Cleburne sits on some of the most expansive clay soil in Johnson County. That clay absorbs winter and spring moisture, swells, and heaves gate posts by fractions of an inch. Multiply that over a few seasons and the post tilts, the gate drops, the latch binds, and the operator’s limit switches fight a losing battle. In the newer acreage subdivisions built on former ranch land, this is the single most common call we get.
The housing stock shapes the work too. A large share of Cleburne’s surrounding properties are working homesteads with welded pipe or schedule-40 steel swing gates, many installed between the 1980s and the early 2000s on creosote-treated wooden posts. Those posts rot at the soil line from the persistent moisture the clay holds against them. The post tilts, the gate drops, the hinge weld cracks, and one morning the gate will not open at all. That failure pattern, the rotted post and the snapped weld, is a Cleburne signature. And then there is the weather: the February 2021 ice storm seized opener mechanisms and cracked hydraulic seals all over Johnson County, and our summer heat regularly breaks 100°F, which cooks rubber seals and circuit boards on the solar-powered openers so common on remote driveways outside city power reach. A company that only ever repairs ornamental iron in Fort Worth subdivisions would not recognize half of what we fix out here. We do.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Cleburne
Most Cleburne gate repairs land between $180 and $340, with heavier post resets running $800 to $1,400 depending on the soil and the steel. Because of the clay here, we typically recommend inspecting the posts on any gate repair estimate, since hidden rot at the soil line is common across Johnson County. Call (817) 961-9404 for an exact written quote, free of charge.
In most cases yes, especially if your gate is stuck open or stuck closed and the property is unsecured. We hold same-day appointments for security and safety issues and our live phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Describe the symptom when you call (817) 961-9404 and we will tell you exactly when a technician can arrive.
On a Cleburne property, the usual cause is a gate post tilting in expansive clay soil. Adjusting the hinges without fixing the post buys weeks, not years. We reset the post in concrete below the active soil line, then re-align the hinges and operator, and that is a permanent repair, not a patch. If a wooden post has rotted at the base, which we see constantly on older ranch gates, the only real fix is steel; we can quote both options before any work starts.
A new gate installed on a Cleburne property includes site measurement, post setting in concrete below the clay heave line, the gate itself, hinges welded and gusseted for years of use, and the operator and safety edges if you are adding automation. We also handle the power run for electric openers and recommend solar options for remote acreage where a trench is impractical. The quote covers all of it in writing before we order a single part.
We do, and a large share of the openers we service on Cleburne’s rural fringes are solar. The two things that fail most often are the battery bank and the charge controller, both of which our summer heat ages faster than the manufacturer’s expected lifespan. We test the panel output, replace what is actually bad, and will not sell you a new operator when a battery swap fixes the problem. Call (817) 961-9404 to schedule.

What Cleburne 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."
