AfterGate Repair in Colleyville, TX
Gate access control problems in Colleyville usually come down to one thing: a keypad or intercom that worked fine until the Blackland Prairie clay moved a gate post, or a Texas storm knocked a photocell beam out of line. Most homes here were built between the late 1980s and the 2000s on half-acre lots, which means a high concentration of motorized ornamental-iron gates now running 15 to 25-year-old operators. If your gate won’t open from the street, or the motor runs but the gate barely moves, call (817) 572-8590 and a live person will answer.
Why Colleyville Homes Are Different
Colleyville is one of the wealthiest municipalities in the DFW metro, and its residential lots are among the largest in Tarrant County. That translates to estate-style homes with gated entries as a standard feature, not an afterthought. A technician here is almost always working on high-end swing or slide gate operators from LiftMaster, Elite, or Viking, mounted on custom wrought-iron or tubular-steel gates with keypad or intercom entry systems. The housing stock matters: gates installed 20 years ago are now past the typical duty-cycle life of residential swing-arm operators, so motor and control-board replacements are regular calls.
The soil is the bigger variable. Colleyville sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that shrinks hard in summer and swells after fall and winter rains. That cyclical movement heaves concrete gate-post footings, which pulls hinge pins out of alignment and strains operator mounting brackets. In neighborhoods near Pool Road and Glade Road, we regularly find a tilted post binding a swing-arm operator without triggering an obstruction fault. The gate seems to strain rather than fail outright, and homeowners have often replaced the motor once before anyone realizes the footing is shifting underneath it.
Our Main Colleyville Services
Most Colleyville homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that stopped opening, a gate that needs replacing, or a motor that runs but doesn’t move the gate. Here’s what each job looks like locally.
Gate Repair in Colleyville
Repair calls in Colleyville usually involve hinge pins pulled out of line by clay heave, bent gate leaves from spring windstorms, or limit switches that drifted after years of seasonal post movement. We diagnose the mechanism first, not the symptom. Gate Repair in Colleyville covers everything from realigning a sagging leaf to replacing a control board that keeps tripping.
Gate Installation in Colleyville
New installations here are typically ornamental-iron driveway gates on large lots, often paired with a keypad and a camera or intercom. The real challenge is the footing: Blackland clay requires deeper, wider pours than sandy soil does, and the operator mounting plate needs to be set with the post, not bolted on afterward. Gate Installation in Colleyville gets into sizing, swing versus slide, and what we do with the power run.
Gate Motor & Opener in Colleyville
Motors in Colleyville fail on a predictable schedule. A swing-arm operator installed in 2005 has likely cycled through its rated life twice over. We service the full line of brands already on the property rather than steering you toward a replacement you may not need. Gate Motor & Opener in Colleyville covers operator replacement, limit-switch setup, and control-board diagnostics.

BeforeAfterGate Access Control in Colleyville
Access control on a Colleyville estate gate is the layer that tells the operator what to do: keypads, remotes, phone entry, card readers, and video intercoms. The housing era is the point here. Many systems we see were installed with the gate 15 to 25 years ago, and the electronics have outlived their weatherproofing. Gate Access Control work begins with identifying the exact component that failed, then pricing the replacement before anything gets ordered.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
A keypad that doesn’t respond to some or all codes, or a keypad that works only in dry weather, is ready for replacement or relocation.
What it costs in Colleyville
Keypad replacement in Colleyville typically runs $150-$400 installed, depending on the brand and whether the wiring is still intact.
How we do it
We test the keypad at the panel first, then at the wire, and only replace the unit if the signal path is confirmed bad.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
An intercom that rings but shows no video, or a call button that doesn’t reach the house, means the camera module or the inside handset has failed.
What it costs in Colleyville
Video intercom replacement runs $600-$1,500 in Colleyville, and a simple inside-handset swap is typically less than half that.
How we do it
We check power at the door station, then the wire run, and photograph the working installation before we leave.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Keypad replacement | $150-$400 |
| Remote/programming only | $50-$150 |
| Video intercom replacement | $600-$1,500 |
Do you service the access-control brand already on my Colleyville gate?
We service DoorKing, Ghost Controls, Elite, Mighty Mule, and five other major automation brands. The brand doesn’t determine whether we take the job. Call (817) 572-8590 with the model number and we’ll tell you what’s available same week.
Can you mount a new keypad on a stone or brick column in Colleyville?
Yes, but we do it differently than mounting on a metal post. Stone column work means drilling into mortar joints, not the brick face, and sealing the backplate against freeze-thaw. Quotes are free and written before work starts.
Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville
Clay heave and spring storm winds put a permanent load on hinges, posts, and rail joints. Colleyville gates are heavier than most, and the cyclical ground movement means a hinge that held for 15 years may pull loose the year the footing finally shifts. Gate Parts & Welding covers the metal and hardware layer underneath the operator, from hinge pins to post footings.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
A gate leaf that rubs the post, sags on one end, or scrapes the driveway after a wet winter has a hinge problem brewing.
What it costs in Colleyville
Hinge replacement in Colleyville runs $250-$700 per hinge, depending on gate weight and whether we’re welding new plates to a wrought-iron leaf.
How we do it
We cut the old hinge off clean, match the leaf height, and weld the new hinge in place before re-hanging the gate to its original swing line.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
A post that has visibly shifted, cracked at the base, or lets the gate lean without a change to the hinge is no longer carrying the load.
What it costs in Colleyville
Post replacement runs $400-$1,200 in Colleyville, with the higher end covering taller or thicker-walled steel for heavy ornamental leaves.
How we do it
We dig out the old footing, set a deeper pour than the original, and square the new post to the gate before the concrete cures.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement | $250-$700 per hinge |
| Post replacement | $400-$1,200 |
| Custom welding repair | $150-$500 per weld area |
Is welding on my ornamental gate going to damage the finish?
We grind, weld, and touch up with cold galvanizing spray on steel, and match-paint on aluminum where feasible. The repair area will be visible; we’ll tell you that before we strike an arc.
Can you build a custom steel section to match my existing Colleyville gate?
Yes, we fabricate replacement sections in our shop and weld them on site. Turnaround is typically under a week, and the price is written before we start. Call (817) 572-8590 for measurements.

We work on Elite, Ghost Controls, Mighty Mule, DoorKing, LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. Common boards and remotes for these brands are in our local stock, so repairs often happen the same visit. Our brands page lists full compatibility.

What Colleyville Customers Say
"Gate had been dragging for a year. They photographed the bent hinge post, explained why the operator kept faulting, and gave me a fixed price to correct both."
- Terrence B."Our gate was hit by a delivery truck. They came out, documented the damage properly for the insurer, and the claim went through without an argument."
- Camille R."They installed the opener and left me a diagram of the wiring and the limit settings. When I needed a second remote programmed I could do it myself."
- Nadine C.
