AfterGate Repair in Hurst, TX
Gate access control work in Hurst usually means retrofitting a 1960s-era driveway gate with a keypad or intercom, or troubleshooting why a system installed years ago stopped reading remotes. Most of the gates we see on Hurst’s ranch-style lots were built before automation was standard, so the wiring runs, post footings, and hinge hardware all predate the electronics now being asked to carry them. Call (817) 572-8590 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst’s residential streets are filled almost entirely with ranch-style tract homes built between the 1960s and 1980s on Blackland Prairie expansive clay. That soil swells hard after spring rain and shrinks just as hard through summer drought, and the original gate posts were rarely set in footings deep enough to survive the movement. A gate that hung plumb for forty years can be half an inch out of square after one wet season, which throws off every limit switch, latch, and photo-eye alignment on the opener. The February 2021 ice storm added another layer: frozen joints, cracked weld points, and motors that forced themselves against ice-locked hinges. In Hurst, the gate repair call usually starts with “the gate won’t close” and ends with a post reset and a hinge re-hang, not a new motor.
We also see a Hurst-specific pattern tied to the older interior neighborhoods platted with rear utility alleys. Alley-facing gates catch the vibration of sanitation trucks and delivery vehicles every week, and they fail at hinges and latches much faster than street-facing driveway gates. By the time a homeowner notices, the gate is usually dragging on the slab and the opener has been fighting the extra load for months. It is a quiet, cumulative failure, and it is the reason we photograph everything before we touch it.
Our Main Hurst Services
Most Hurst homeowners reach us through one of three doors: a gate that has stopped working entirely, a gate they want built or rebuilt, and an opener that has failed or never worked right. Each service has its own Hurst page with full pricing, so this section points you where you need to go.
Gate Repair in Hurst
This is the service for the gate that no longer opens, closes, or latches correctly in Hurst. Repairs on 40-to-60-year-old gates usually involve post re-setting, hinge replacement, and re-hanging the leaf so the opener stops fighting the frame. Read the full breakdown at Gate Repair in Hurst.
Gate Installation in Hurst
A new gate in Hurst means either replacing a gate that has rusted or rotted past repair, or building for automation from the start with proper post depth and reinforcement. We quote the full scope in writing, including concrete work and power coordination, before any tools are on site. See what a Hurst installation includes at Gate Installation in Hurst.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst
When the opener is the problem, we service nine automation brands rather than steering you toward a replacement. Hurst’s freeze-thaw cycles and clay-driven post movement put real strain on limit switches and arm brackets, and most failures trace back to those two parts. Details and pricing are on the Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst page.

BeforeAfterGate Access Control in Hurst
Gate access control in Hurst is about getting people in and out without leaving the car, and the old hardware on these mid-century lots often makes that harder than it sounds. A keypad mounted on a post that has shifted out of plumb will bind and false-read; a phone entry system wired into a 1970s junction box needs a careful hand, not a guess. We install and service keypads, remotes, phone entry, card readers, and video intercoms on gates across Hurst, and every job ends with a written record of what was wired where. For a deeper look at system options, see Gate Access Control.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad works intermittently, reads some codes but not others, or has a housing cracked by years of Texas sun and freeze cycles.
What it costs in Hurst
Keypad replacement on a Hurst gate typically runs $500-$1,200 mounted, programmed, and photographed, depending on whether the post needs reinforcement first.
How we do it
We pull the old unit, check the wiring and post face, mount the new keypad, program the codes, and photograph the finished install and wiring terminations.
Remote Control
Signs you need it
One remote stops working while others still open the gate, or a new remote fails to program to an older receiver on the property.
What it costs in Hurst
Adding or replacing a remote on an existing Hurst opener runs $250-$550 including programming and a receiver check.
How we do it
We identify the receiver frequency and protocol, program the remote on site, test range from both sides of the gate, and document the codes stored.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Keypad replacement, wired | $500-$1,200 |
| Remote add/replace, programmed | $250-$550 |
| Phone entry / intercom integration | $800-$2,000 |
Can you add a keypad to a gate that currently only uses remotes?
Yes. We can tie a wired keypad into most existing opener control boards, including LiftMaster and Ghost Controls, without replacing the motor. Ask for a written quote before we start.
Why does my keypad work in the morning but not after a hot afternoon?
Expansion from direct Hurst sun can flex a post-mounted keypad housing just enough to crack an internal solder joint. We replace the keypad and check the post face for movement before remounting.
Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Gate parts and welding in Hurst frequently means replacing hinge and latch hardware on gates built in the 1960s-1980s, before powder coating and sealed bearings were standard. Forty years of freeze-thaw cycles and Blackland clay movement bend posts, shear hinge pins, and crack weld points at stress concentrations. We stock the common parts and weld on site when the damage is localized rather than structural. Full scope options are at Gate Parts & Welding.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate drags on the ground at the latch side, or you can see the hinge pin leaning and hear metal grinding when the gate moves.
What it costs in Hurst
Hinge replacement on a Hurst gate runs $250-$550 per hinge, with the post face inspected and the gate re-hung square before we leave.
How we do it
We cut or unbolt the old hinge, inspect the post and gate frame, weld or bolt the new hinge in place, and photograph the finished hang with level readings.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
Your gate post leans visibly, the gate catches the slab at one corner, or the post base concrete is cracked and spalling around the steel.
What it costs in Hurst
A post replacement with new concrete and re-hang in Hurst runs $800-$1,500 per post, depending on depth and whether the old footing has to be broken out.
How we do it
We set the new post below the frost and clay-active depth, pour a footing sized for the gate weight, re-hang the leaf, and photograph the set with a level on the post face.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement, per hinge | $250-$550 |
| Post replacement, per post | $800-$1,500 |
| Weld repair, local crack or break | $280-$650 |
Can you weld a broken gate frame in place, or does the gate have to come off?
Most localized frame cracks can be welded in place after the leaf is supported and squared. If the crack runs through a hinge point, we recommend removal for a proper weld and re-hang.
How long does a post replacement take in Hurst?
One post is typically set and re-hung in a single day, with the gate operable the same evening. Concrete cure time before full automation load is about seven days.

What Hurst 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."
