A gate that won’t open or won’t close all the way leaves a driveway, a side yard, or a whole property exposed, and it tends to fail at the worst possible moment. We’re a dedicated gate specialist, not a garage-door company that also happens to touch gates, so every technician lives in this trade. Our technicians have up to 11 years of experience across manual and automatic systems, from Mighty Mule residential openers to commercial-grade DoorKing access units. We work on Round Rock gates, diagnose the real cause, and get the gate back up and running. Same-day service is often available, and the price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. Call (888) 853-0490. We answer 24/7.
Driveway Gate Repair
Driveway Gate Repair is what we do when a residential entry gate stops swinging, sags on its hinges, or refuses to latch, and it’s the most common call we get in Round Rock. You need it the moment the gate drags on the ground, the arm won’t hold, or the opener keeps reversing halfway through a cycle. We diagnose the whole system, not just the visible symptom: hinges, posts, the operator arm, and the control board. We also check the safety sensors and the access hardware, because a gate that swings freely can be as much a risk as one that won’t move. Repair work typically depends on what’s worn and what needs replacing, but most driveway gate repairs run from roughly $150 to $600. Whether it’s a residential driveway gate or a commercial access system, electric or manual, we handle both.
Hinge, Post, and Latch Work
Sagging gates almost always trace back to a hinge that wore out or a post fitting that shifted. We correct the alignment and re-hang with proper hardware rather than forcing the frame. A gate that closes on a reliable latch is one less thing you have to worry about.
Operator and Control Fixes
When the gate body is sound but the automation misbehaves, the issue is usually in the motor, the arm, or the control board. We test each component and replace only what failed. You get a gate that opens and closes smoothly again without a full replacement.

Gate Welding
Gate Welding is the structural repair that brings a cracked frame, a snapped picket, or a broken hinge mount back to solid, and it’s something a lot of shops hand off to a general welder who doesn’t understand gate geometry. You need it when a weld has failed at a corner, a hinge has torn away from the frame, or a growing crack starts at a weld bead. We weld steel and iron gates on-site where the repair allows, which keeps your gate in place instead of requiring a full removal. We check the frame for straightness afterward so the gate doesn’t fight the operator on every cycle. Welding repairs typically run from about $100 to $400 depending on the extent of the break and whether the gate needs to come down. Keep in mind that welding near a power-operated gate carries real risk, and the operator should be shut down and checked before any heat goes to the frame.
Frame Cracks and Hinge Tear-Outs
A hinge that’s torn out of the frame is a structural problem, not a hardware swap. We weld the mounting back with proper reinforcement so it holds under the weight of the gate. We also inspect the opposite side, since trouble on one hinge usually shows up on the other.
On-Site Versus Off-Site Work
Many repairs can be done in place, which saves you the cost of a removal and reset. Larger gates that need to come down get a clear plan and a written price before anything is unscrewed. You know the scope before the job starts.
Commercial Gate Repair
Commercial Gate Repair covers the access-controlled entries and lot gates that property managers and business owners depend on every day, and a single stuck gate can back a queue around the building. You need it when the operator stalls, the loop detector stops reading a car, or the keypad and remote aren’t consistent about letting people through. We work on Gate Repair Round Rock access systems from DoorKing and other commercial-grade operators, and we treat the electrical side of the job with the care it requires. A commercial gate failure means traffic, inconvenience, and often a security gap, so we prioritize getting it working and keeping it working. Commercial repairs commonly run from about $200 to $800 depending on the operator and controls involved.
Access Control and Loop Detectors
Gates that open on their own or refuse to open point to the control wiring, the loop detector, or the access hardware. We trace the signal instead of guessing. Fixing the right part is what stops the gate from failing again next week.
Operator and Safety System Checks
A commercial operator handles constant cycles, so wear shows up sooner than it does at home. We inspect the motor, the board, and the safety edges that protect vehicles and pedestrians. Heavy gate panels can crush, so the safety sensors have to be right.
Iron Gate Repair
Iron Gate Repair is for the heavier, forged-style gates that many Round Rock homes and commercial properties put at their entrance, and it covers both the metalwork and the way the gate moves. You need it when a hinge pulls loose, a section rusts through, or the gate stops swinging true because the post has settled. We assess the frame, the mounting, and the finish before we recommend anything, and we repair the structure rather than patching a symptom. Iron work often pairs a weld repair with a hardware refresh and re-coating, which typically runs from about $200 to $600. Our technicians have up to 11 years of experience, and they know that heavier iron behaves differently than a light aluminum gate.
Rust, Finish, and Re-Coating
Iron rusts where moisture sits, usually at the bottom rail and around welds. We treat the metal and re-seal the finish so the repair holds. Skipping the finish is how a repair becomes a repeat visit in a couple of years.
Post and Foundation Reset
An iron gate that sags is often a post problem, not a gate problem. We check the mounting depth and the footing before tightening anything. Getting the post right keeps the whole gate in line.
Sliding Gate Repair
Sliding Gate Repair handles the gates that roll along a track instead of swinging, and those tracks are where most of the trouble starts. You need it when the gate jumps or grinds on the track, when it stops squarely against the end stop, or when the operator strains and the gate lurches on open. We inspect the rollers, the track, the guide, and the operator, then trace which part is actually causing the bind. We work with Viking and Ghost Controls among other operators, so we’re comfortable with the electric side as well as the mechanical side. Sliding gate repairs typically run from about $150 to $650. A sliding gate that comes off the track is a real hazard as well as a gate that won’t work, so it’s worth addressing quickly.
Track and Roller Service
Worn rollers and bent track sections are the usual cause of a jerky, grinding slide. We straighten or replace the track and fit proper rollers. The goal is a gate that glides with even effort from end to end.
Guide and Operator Alignment
A gate that wanders off the guide wears the operator arm and the frame. We realign the guide and check the opener’s travel limits. Correct alignment is what keeps the operator from fighting the gate.
Wrought Iron Gate Repair
Wrought Iron Gate Repair focuses on decorative iron gates, the scrollwork, pickets, and joinery that give an entrance its look, so a repair has to preserve the design and not just close a gap. You need it when a picket bends, the ornamentation loosens, or the gate frame has a repair that’s outlived its finish. We work carefully around decorative elements so the gate keeps its appearance after the fix. Many of these repairs involve welding, hardware, and a fresh finish, and they typically run from about $150 to $500. We keep the metalwork and the movement of the gate in view at the same time, because a beautiful gate still has to swing.
Ornamental Detail and Pickets
Bent or snapped pickets get straightened or replaced to match the profile. We take care with the scrollwork so the repair doesn’t flatten out the design. The gate should read as original, not patched.
Joint and Hinge Stability
Loose joints and worn hinges call for welding and a hardware refresh. We check that the gate still sits square when it closes. A stable frame is what keeps decorative iron from getting damaged again.
Metal Gate Repair
Metal Gate Repair covers the steel and aluminum gates that make up most of the automated gate stock in the Round Rock area, and it’s a broad category that includes everything from a simple steel driveway gate to a full aluminum access system. You need it when the frame is bent, the hinge hardware is loose, or the gate contacts the ground and the operator has to fight it every cycle. We repair, weld, and re-align metal gates, and we handle the automation alongside the frame so nothing gets missed. Metal repairs typically run from about $150 to $550 depending on whether welding or hardware is involved. Whether it’s a residential driveway gate or a commercial access system, we treat the metal and the movement as one job.
Bent Frames and Hinge Hardware
Metal that’s been struck or pulled out of shape needs straightening before new hardware goes on. We check the frame for twist and true it up. Solid hinge hardware on a straight frame is what keeps a metal gate reliable.
Movement and Clearance Fixes
A gate that scrapes the ground or binds in its swing usually needs realignment, not more force. We adjust the clearance and the stops so the gate moves freely. That protects the operator and the frame together.
Wood Gate Repair
Wood Gate Repair deals with timber gates, which means addressing both the wood itself and the frame it hangs on, because a wooden gate that stops working isn’t always a wood problem. You need it when planks warp, the gate drops on its hinges, or a post has shifted so the gate drags and won’t latch. We inspect the condition of the wood first, since a repair that ignores rot just comes back. Then we fix the hinges, the frame, and any automation so the gate opens and closes properly. Wood repairs typically run from about $150 to $500 depending on how much timber and hardware need attention. With everything from a manual gate to a Ghost Controls operator, we keep the whole gate in working order.
Warping, Hinge Drop, and Rot
Wood moves with the seasons, and a gate that’s fine in the dry months may drag when it swells. We check for rot in the rails and hinge areas before adding hardware. Addressing the wood first keeps the fix lasting.
Automating a Wood Gate
Many wood gates are later fitted with an operator, which changes the loads on the frame. We make sure the gate is strong enough and the hardware is right for automation. That’s how a wood gate stays reliable once it’s motorized.

AfterBrands We Service
We service Viking gate operators and know their control behavior well, which means fewer repeat visits chasing a symptom that points to a setting rather than a part. We also work on Ghost Controls systems, popular on residential gates for their straightforward setup, and we’re comfortable diagnosing the wiring and sensor faults that trip them up. DoorKing commercial access units are another regular, and we understand the access-control side of the job as well as the mechanical side. Elite equipment, including their automatic gate systems, rounds out the range, and we’re experienced with the way those operators wear under daily cycles. We also work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Mighty Mule equipment.
The point is that we’re brand-agnostic. We’re not a dealer tied to one manufacturer, so the recommendation is based on what’s best for your gate, not on a single-brand sales incentive. If a part has failed, we tell you what failed and why, and we lay out the realistic options. Whether you have a Viking operator, a DoorKing access system, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- The gate reverses or stops mid-cycle. A gate that reverses without explanation usually has a sensor, a control board, or an obstruction problem that needs proper diagnosis. Left alone, it can eventually stop opening or closing entirely.
- The gate drags, binds, or scrapes the ground. This points to hinges, a settled post, or a warped frame, and it puts strain on the operator every cycle. That extra load shortens the motor’s life.
- You hear grinding, popping, or a loud clunk. Mechanical noise usually means worn rollers, a failing bearing, or a weld that’s giving way. Catching it early is often the difference between a small repair and a large one.
- A slide gate comes off its track or jumps the guide. A heavy gate off the track can fall or jam in a way that traps vehicles and creates a crushing hazard. This one warrants prompt professional attention, not an evening of trial and error.
- The access keypad or remote works only sometimes. Intermittent access is usually a control wiring, loop detector, or access hardware fault. It’s frustrating on a residential gate and a real problem on a commercial one.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
We take the call and learn the setup. You tell us what the gate is doing, and we ask about the operator, the gate type, and the access hardware. That first conversation lets us arrive with the right tools and a realistic plan. We answer 24/7.
- 2
We diagnose the whole system on-site. A technician tests the operator, the control board, the safety sensors, and the gate’s mechanical movement. We trace the fault to its source instead of replacing parts on suspicion.
- 3
You get a written estimate before any work. We explain what’s wrong, what fixing it involves, and the price, and you agree to it before we start. No surprise on the invoice.
- 4
We do the repair. Welding, hinge and hardware work, operator and control fixes, and access-control wiring all get handled by a dedicated gate technician. If the gate is beyond repair, we say so and walk you through gate installation options.
- 5
We test the gate and confirm it’s working. The gate runs through full open and close cycles, the safety equipment is checked, and you see the result before we leave. If something isn’t right, we make it right.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Round Rock?
Gate repair in Round Rock typically runs from about $100 to $800, depending on the gate type and what failed. A simple driveway gate hardware fix or weld repair is often on the lower end, while a commercial operator or access-control repair tends to land higher.

For a full breakdown by service, start with our gate repair page.
What affects the price: the gate material and weight, whether the problem is mechanical or electrical, how many parts have worn at once, and whether the gate is automated. Access-control systems with loop detectors and keypads add diagnostic time but often save you a second visit. The most reliable way to avoid overpaying is to get a written estimate that itemizes the parts and labor before anything is done, which is what we provide. We don’t tack on surprise charges after the job. The free estimate includes the on-site diagnosis, the explanation of what’s wrong, and a clear written price. If the gate is beyond economical repair, we tell you honestly rather than selling you a repair that won’t last. Have a look at gate repair to see how we handle jobs in nearby towns.
