AfterHow Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Round Rock?
Gate parts and welding in Round Rock typically run $180 to $650 for common repairs, with hardware like hinges, rollers and latches on the low end and on-site welding or operator control-board work on the high end. A single welded hinge repair or a bent-frame straightening usually lands between $250 and $450. New gate fabrication is a separate project and gets priced from the written estimate after we look at the gate.
We’re a dedicated gate specialist, so every technician works on gates and nothing else. Our technicians have up to 11 years of experience across the nine brands we service, from Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls on the residential side to FAAC, BFT and DoorKing for heavier commercial systems. Call (888) 853-0490 for a free estimate and a straight answer on what your gate actually needs.
Key Takeaways
- Common parts and welding repairs in Round Rock: $180 to $650, priced per job by the written estimate.
- Welding a cracked hinge, a torn post bracket or a bent frame is usually cheaper than replacing the gate.
- Electric gate parts (motors, control boards, safety sensors) add cost, and brand matters less than what’s actually failing.
- The estimate is free, and we tell you whether welding will hold or whether the gate is past saving.
Gate Parts & Welding Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what the line items typically run in the Round Rock market. These are estimated ranges, not quotes. The written estimate after we see your gate sets the final price.
| Line item | Typical estimated price |
|---|---|
| Hinges, rollers, latches, caps, stops (hardware swap) | $180 to $350 |
| Welding a cracked hinge or torn bracket on site | $250 to $450 |
| Straightening a bent gate frame | $300 to $550 |
| Rebuilding a sagging or dropped gate (re-hang, new hinges, welding) | $350 to $650 |
| Slide gate roller and track repair | $250 to $500 |
| Safety sensors and access hardware (keypads, loops, receivers) | $200 to $450 installed |
| Control board or receiver replacement (brand-dependent) | $250 to $600 installed |
| Motor or operator replacement (parts and labor) | $600 to $1,400 installed |
What pushes cost up? Heavy commercial panels take more welding time and often need two technicians. Brand-specific parts, especially FAAC, BFT and DoorKing control boards, cost more than a Mighty Mule or Ghost Controls board. Rusted or seized hardware takes longer to remove, and a gate that was installed out of square turns a simple hinge swap into a frame repair. What pushes it down: catching a hinge before it tears the frame, and calling when the gate first starts to drag instead of after it drops.
We work on your brand whether it’s LiftMaster, Linear, Viking, Elite or any of the nine we service, so we’re not steering you toward one manufacturer’s parts. The recommendation follows the gate.
What Affects Gate Parts & Welding Pricing in Round Rock
- Gate weight and material. A light residential aluminum panel can be re-hung by one technician. A steel commercial panel with heavy pickets takes more labor and heavier welding, and that shows up in the estimate.
- Welded vs. bolt-on repair. If a hinge can bolt back on, it’s a hardware job. If the frame is cracked and needs weld, the price moves into the welding range because the gate has to be braced, welded and checked for square before it swings again.
- Operator brand and parts availability. A Ghost Controls or Mighty Mule homeowner-grade operator usually means off-the-shelf parts. A DoorKing or FAAC commercial controller can mean ordering a specific board, and the part cost drives the job.
- Soil and footing on Round Rock limestone. Posts set into the area’s shallow, rocky soil sometimes shift, and a leaning post means resetting the footing, not just welding the gate. That’s a different line item and it’s part of why a sagging gate gets priced after we see it.
- Manual or electric. A manual gate is a mechanical fix. Once a motor, sensors and control wiring are involved, the diagnosis takes longer and the parts cost more, whether it’s a residential driveway gate or a commercial access system.
- How long it’s been failing. A gate that’s been dragging for months wears the operator and can grind the track. Fixing it early keeps the repair in the low end of the table above.
How to Save on Gate Parts & Welding
The single biggest saving is calling before a hinge tears out of the frame. A hinge swap in the $180 to $350 range protects the gate; wait until the frame cracks and you’re in the welding range and possibly rebuilding the whole gate. Walk out and watch the gate swing. If you hear a pop, see a gap at the hinge, or the gate drags on the ground, that’s the window to book a look.
- Fix the hinge, not the gate. If the panels and frame are sound and only the hardware is worn, you’re looking at the hardware line, not a rebuild.
- Get the estimate in writing first. We price per job after we see the gate, so you know the number before any work starts. No surprise on the invoice.
- Keep the track and rollers clean. A slide gate that runs on a clear, debris-free track puts less strain on the operator and the rollers, and both last longer.
- Don’t replace what can be welded. A cracked bracket is a repair, not a new gate. We’ll tell you honestly when welding will hold and when it won’t.
Estimates are free. Call (888) 853-0490 and we’ll get you a number on the parts and welding you need. We answer 24/7, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm. A call outside dispatch hours is booked into the next opening, Sunday through Friday, 7am to 7pm.
Manual Gate Repairs We Price
Most of the parts and welding work we’re called out for on manual gates falls into a few buckets. Hinges that have rusted or pulled loose, post brackets that have torn away from the frame, gates that sag and drag because a hinge or footing has shifted, and frames that got bent when something backed into them. Slide gates that jump or come off the track are another common one, and those are usually a roller or track problem plus some welding to true the frame back up. We handle all of that with one visit, diagnose it, and give you the written estimate before we start.
We’re not a general handyman who also welds. This is a dedicated gate trade, so the technician who looks at your gate works on gates every day and knows where the metal fails, where a weld will hold and where the frame needs to be rebuilt instead of patched.
Electric Gate Parts: What Costs More
Once a gate has an operator, the parts picture widens. Motors, control boards, receivers, safety sensors and access hardware all get priced into the job separately, and the brand drives the part cost. A homeowner-grade operator from Ghost Controls or Mighty Mule uses common parts. A professional-grade system from FAAC, BFT or DoorKing may need a specific board, and that’s where electric gate repair can land at the higher end of the table. We service and diagnose all nine brands we cover, so if the failure is the board, we say so; if it’s a sensor out of alignment or a wiring fault, we fix that instead of selling you a motor you don’t need.
Safety matters here. Gate operators carry real electrical current and the moving panels can crush or trap. We handle the wiring and the diagnosis, and we recommend a trained technician for anything inside the operator or the control box. If your gate isn’t moving and you’re not sure why, don’t force it manually, call us first.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your Gate
Repair the gate when the frame is straight, the posts are solid and the failure is hardware or a single weld. Replace it when the frame is rusted through, the posts have shifted out of the ground, or a bent gate has been straightened twice and never swings right again. We handle both repair and installation, so if your gate is beyond saving, you’re not handed off to another contractor. We’ll price the repair and the replacement and let you decide. What we won’t do is weld a gate that’s going to fail again in a season.
If you’re in the Round Rock area and need a gate looked at, calling (888) 853-0490 is the fastest path to a real number. The estimate is free and the price is set per job.

What Our Customers Say
"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."
- Craig Quinn"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
- Nathan Thompson"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and nobody called me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
