AfterFast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Everman
Gate parts and welding work in Everman usually costs between $180 and $2,400 depending on whether we’re replacing a hinge, resetting a heaving post, or rebuilding a rusted rail. Most hinge and latch repairs finish in one visit. If your gate drags the ground every spring or won’t close square by August, the problem isn’t the latch-it’s the soil under the post. Ironworks Gate Co. has serviced Everman gates long enough to know exactly what Tarrant County’s shrink-swell clay does to steel that’s been in the ground since the 1960s. Call (817) 961-9404 and we’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician who will quote the price before a single bolt is touched.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Everman’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Victor Salinas built Ironworks Gate Co. around a simple idea: a gate should close like it did the day it was hung, and the company that fixes it should guarantee that in writing. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every hinge we replace, every post we reset, and every weld we lay down in Everman. No paperwork. No arguing. If it isn’t right, we come back.
Our Gate Parts & Welding crews know Everman’s older blocks-the 1950s ranch houses off Oak Grove Road, the 1970s chain-link runs near Enon Avenue, the tubular steel gates on the tighter lots near Everman Parkway. We know these gates were installed decades ago, often with posts set too shallow in Blackland Prairie clay, and we plan for that before we start cutting. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so when a gate drops off its hinge on a Saturday morning near Everman High School, you reach a person, not a voicemail.
Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, working under the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. Most Everman jobs finish in a single visit. And because we’re trained on nine major automation brands, when your gate parts connect to an opener that also failed, we fix both on the same trip.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Everman
Hinge Replacement
Hinges on Everman’s older chain-link and tubular steel gates fail in a pattern we see every week: the bottom hinge seizes first, rusted solid from years of rising damp off the clay, then the gate sags and drags. We cut out the old hardware, weld in new galvanized or stainless hinges sized to the gate’s weight, and shim the frame so it hangs square. On gates where the hinge post has already heaved or tilted, we address the post before hanging the gate-otherwise you’ll be calling us again in six months. Hinge replacement in Everman typically runs $180 to $460, including hardware and realignment.
Post Replacement
This is the most common fix on Everman’s pre-1990s installs. Back then, posts were often sunk two feet into unbraced clay and backfilled with whatever dirt was handy. A few decades of wet springs and dry summers later, the post has walked out of plumb, the gate drags, and the latch won’t catch. We dig down to a proper depth-often 30 to 36 inches in Everman’s gumbo-set a new galvanized post with a bell-bottom footing for resistance to uplift, and concrete it in. Post replacement with a proper deep footing runs $700 to $1,500 depending on post size and whether we’re rebuilding the gate panel at the same time.
Rail Repair
Top and bottom rails on older tubular steel gates rot from the inside out, especially where they meet the hinge plate or the center upright. Powdery orange dust at the weld, a rail that flexes when you push on it, or a gate that droops in the middle all point to rail fatigue. We cut out the bad section, sleeve and weld in new steel, and grind the repair flush before repainting. When rust has eaten more than about a third of the rail’s circumference, we recommend replacing the rail outright-it’s cheaper than welding a patch that fails later. Rail repair typically ranges from $260 to $680 in Everman.
Custom Welding
Some Everman customers don’t need a repair-they need a gate that no longer exists. A wider opening for a pickup and trailer, a mailbox post that matches a 1970s gate’s scrollwork, a custom frame to hang around a new opener. Our welding is done by the same hands that reset sagging posts and rebuild rusted rails, so the work matches the property rather than looking bolted on. Custom welding quotes are priced by the job, and we give a written number before any welding begins. Expect most custom gate work in Everman to land between $450 and $2,400 depending on size, steel weight, and finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Everman
When a gate part fails, the replacement needs to fit what’s already there. We stock and service components for BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls openers, and we source OEM and equivalent parts for older gate systems installed across Everman decades ago. If your opener’s control board predates the current product line, we can often match it or retrofit a compatible board rather than condemn the whole operator. And because we’re trained on these brands, the diagnosis is made correctly the first time-no swapping parts on guesses.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Everman Homes
- Spring gate drag from heaving posts. Everman’s Blackland Prairie clay swells with spring rain, lifting shallow-set gate posts two inches or more out of the ground. The gate drags the path, the latch misses, and the homeowner calls us every March. The fix is a deeper footing, not a hacksaw to the gate’s bottom rail.
- Summer gap at the latch. By August, the same clay dries and contracts, pulling the post back the other way. Now the gate swings past the strike and hangs open. That’s why we realign and brace the post, not just bend the latch bar.
- Rust-through at weld points. Summer heat above 100°F blisters powder coat on tubular steel, letting moisture into the weld where the rail meets the hinge plate. Surface rust is wire-brushable; through-wall rust needs the section cut out and fresh steel welded in.
- Crushed bottom hinges on racked posts. When a post racks out of square, the top hinge pulls and the bottom hinge takes the load. The bottom one crushes or seizes first. We replace it, but we also pull the post back and brace it so the new hinge isn’t the next one to fail.

Post replacement with a proper deep footing in Everman’s clay runs $700 to $1,500. Full custom welding projects run $450 to $2,400.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Everman
That is the signature failure of Everman’s Blackland Prairie shrink-swell clay. Spring rain swells the soil and heaves your shallow-set hinge post upward, dropping the latch side and dragging the gate. Summer drought shrinks the same clay, pulling the post back and opening a gap at the latch. The root cause is the post’s footing. Our fix is to cut the old post, dig 30 to 36 inches down, set a new galvanized post in a bell-bottom concrete footing, and rehang the gate so it stays true through both seasons. Call (817) 961-9404 for an inspection.
Yes, in most cases we can. Older operators still out there in Everman’s 1960s-1980s homes often run on control boards that are no longer manufactured. We source compatible retrofits for BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls systems, and for operators where the board is truly unobtainable we can often wire in a modern board with the same limit and safety functions. We will tell you honestly if a board retrofit costs more than a full operator replacement, and we’ll quote both before you decide. Estimates are free.
No. In most Everman installs we cut the failing post at the base, dig a proper deep footing, set a new galvanized post, and rehang the existing gate panel on new hinges. The gate itself is usually fine; the old post and its shallow footing are the problem. We only recommend full gate replacement when the frame or rails are rusted through in multiple places and patching would cost more than new steel. Call (817) 961-9404 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Usually yes. Surface rust is not a disqualifier so long as the steel behind it still has wall thickness. We grind the rust back, cut out the broken section, sleeve in new steel, and weld it solid. If the rust has eaten through the rail at multiple points, or the top rail is bowed from years of gate sag, replacement is the honest recommendation. Either way, the price is agreed before any welding starts.
Sliding gates on Everman’s clay-heavy lots pick up fine dust that works into roller bearings every time the gate moves. Combine that with a post or track that has shifted fractions of an inch from soil movement, and the rollers bear unevenly, bind, and flatten. We replace rollers with sealed-bearing units matched to the track, then re-level the track and posts so the gate rolls straight instead of grinding sideways. It’s a repair we’ve done across Everman more times than we can count. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free quote.
