AfterTrusted Gate Parts & Welding for Cleburne Homeowners
Cleburne Gate Parts & Welding usually runs $180 to $650 depending on what failed, and most hinge, latch, and roller replacements are done in a single visit. We’re Ironworks Gate Co., and we’ve been welding and rebuilding driveway gates for Cleburne homeowners since 1984. When a hinge tears off its post or a weld cracks along the frame, you need someone who can actually fix the metal correctly, not just tighten a bolt and hope. That’s the work Victor Salinas and our crew do every week here in Cleburne. Call (817) 961-9404 and you’ll get a live person, any hour, any day.
What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
Gate failures in Cleburne almost always come down to one of six things: a hinge, a post, a rail, a weld, a roller, or a latch. Here’s what each repair actually involves and when you need it.
Hinge Replacement
Hinges carry the entire weight of your gate, and in North Texas clay soil that shifts with every drought and rain cycle, they take a beating. A gate that drags, sags, or swings too freely usually has a hinge problem. We cut off the old hinge, grind the post clean, and weld on a new heavy-duty hinge sized to the actual weight of your gate, not whatever was cheapest at the hardware store.
Post Replacement
The post is the anchor of the whole system, and it’s the part most likely to rot, rust, or shift out of plumb over time. In Cleburne, we see posts leaning because the original install didn’t set them deep enough below the frost line or because a vehicle tapped them. We pull the old post, dig and set a new one in concrete at the correct depth, and re-hang the gate so it swings level the first time.
Rail Repair
The horizontal rails are the structural backbone of a steel gate. When a rail bows or a weld pops at the rail-to-pickup connection, the entire gate loses its rigidity. We straighten or replace rails and re-weld every connection point with full-penetration welds. The finished gate should feel solid when you push on it, with no flex in the frame.
Custom Welding
Not every gate repair is a bolt-on part. Sometimes a bracket needs fabricating, an unusual gap needs bridging, or a decorative element needs to be repaired rather than replaced. We run MIG and stick welding in the field for most jobs, and our shop handles larger fabrication. If the steel can be saved, we save it. If it can’t, we tell you straight and quote a replacement before we cut anything.
Gate Rollers
Sliding gates ride on rollers and a track, and when a roller seizes, flattens, or comes off its bearing, the gate grinds instead of glides. We stock common roller sizes on the truck and replace bearings, brackets, and wheels in place. A sliding gate that moves with two fingers is the standard we leave behind.
Latch & Lock
A gate that won’t stay shut is a gate that isn’t doing its job. Spring latches, magnetic locks, thumb latches, and keyed entries all wear out. We replace worn latch hardware, align strike plates, and adjust the throw so the gate closes firmly and locks without slamming or hanging open.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
We work on every major gate brand you’re likely to have on a Cleburne property, and we keep common replacement parts stocked so most jobs don’t need a second trip. BFT operators have their own mounting patterns and limit-switch logic, and we’ve swapped enough BFT hinges and mounting brackets to know exactly how to keep the geometry right while welding. Linear hardware shows up often on older estate gates in Johnson County, and we know those latch assemblies and actuator brackets well enough to rebuild what’s getting sloppy.
Viking gates tend to be heavier ornamental steel, which means the welding has to be right, because a cold weld on a 600-pound Viking gate will crack again within a year. Ghost Controls systems are popular on lighter residential gates, and their brackets and arm mounts are designed to work with specific clearance measurements that we preserve or correct during any parts repair. Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, the repair starts the same way: we look hard at the metal and the hardware before we touch a single bolt.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
- The gate drags across the driveway. A gate that scrapes the concrete is hanging on worn hinges or a shifted post. Every open-and-close cycle grinds the metal down further, and eventually the gate will refuse to move at all.
- The gate leans or sags on one side. When the latch side drops, the hinge post or the hinge itself is failing. This puts uneven load on the gate operator, and we see motors burn out because they’ve been fighting a sagging gate for months.
- You can see a cracked weld or rust bleeding through the paint. A rust trail or a visible crack at a weld joint means moisture got inside and the steel is letting go. In humid North Texas summers, that crack grows faster than most people expect.
- The gate bounces when it opens or closes. That bounce means slop somewhere: a hinge bore that’s egged out, a roller that lost its bearing, or a loose rail connection. Left alone, the movement works every bolt loose and causes bigger failures.
- The latch won’t hold reliably. A latch that needs to be fiddled with to engage is a worn striker or misaligned strike plate. It only gets worse, and a gate that won’t stay latched doesn’t keep anything in or out.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call and describe what the gate is doing. A live person answers, day or night. We ask a few questions: what kind of gate, what it’s doing, how long it’s been doing it. That tells us which parts to bring on the first visit.
- 2
We inspect everything, not just the part that failed. A torn hinge usually means the post was shifting, which means the other hinge was compensating, which means the latch took extra load. We look at the whole gate as a system before we quote anything.
- 3
You get a written price before any work starts. We quote the repair, the parts, and the labor in writing. You approve it first. The price you approve is the price on the invoice, period.
- 4
We do the repair in one visit when possible. Most hinge, latch, roller, and welding repairs finish the same day. If a custom part needs fabricating, we tell you exactly when we’ll be back.
- 5
We stand behind it with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Every job, every time. If it’s not right, call us and we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard, applied to every weld and every hinge we touch.
How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Cleburne?
A typical hinge replacement in Cleburne runs $180 to $340 depending on gate weight and access. Post replacement with concrete work usually lands between $350 and $650. Rail repair and custom welding jobs range from $200 to $500 depending on how much of the steel needs to be cut out and replaced. Latch and roller replacements are usually the lightest repairs, often $120 to $250.
What moves the price: the weight of the gate, whether the post needs digging and concrete, whether the gate is ornamental steel versus standard tube, and how hard the site is to reach. The way to avoid overpaying is simple: get the diagnosis right the first time. A cheap hinge replacement on a failing post just breaks again in six months. Our estimates are free, they’re in writing, and they include everything: parts, labor, and any grinding or touch-up paint needed to make the repair look like it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions - Gate Parts & Welding in Cleburne
Gate parts and welding is the repair of the physical structure and hardware of a driveway gate: hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latches, and the welded steel frame itself. It covers everything that holds the gate up and lets it swing or slide, separate from the motor and electronics. In Cleburne, this work is what keeps older steel gates functional after decades of weather and ground movement.
Most hinge, latch, roller, and welding repairs are completed the same day, typically within one to three hours on site. Post replacement with new concrete takes longer because the concrete needs to cure before the gate can carry load, usually a few days before re-hanging. We’ll tell you the timeline before we start, and most Cleburne jobs don’t require a second visit.
Most Cleburne gate parts and welding jobs run $180 to $650 depending on what failed and how heavy the gate is. Hinges run $180 to $340, latch and roller work $120 to $250, and post replacement $350 to $650 when digging and concrete are involved. Every job gets a written quote before work starts, and the price is the price. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free estimate.

Have a rough idea of when the problem started, and whether it got worse after recent storms or high winds. We’ll handle the rest from arrival to cleanup.
