AfterGate Repair Services in Argyle, TX
A gate that won’t close isn’t just a nuisance in Argyle. It’s how horses get out, how curious dogs wander toward FM 407, and how a property that should feel private suddenly doesn’t. Whether you’re dealing with a slide gate that grinds to a stop on Crawford Road or a swing gate that drags across a concrete apron on Copper Canyon Road, we’ll have someone out fast. Call (940) 394-8744 and you’ll get Hal or a member of his crew on the line, not a voicemail tree. We know which gates in Argyle fail, why they fail, and what it takes to keep them running through the next clay-soil dry spell.

Why Argyle Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and his name has been on the shop the whole time. That matters more in Argyle than it does in a place where you don’t know your neighbors. You’ll see us working on driveways in the Harvest community and along Rancho Vista Road. You’ll see the same truck at the feed store. That’s the point. We show up, we look you in the eye, and we quote a price before any work starts. Not a range, not an estimate that changes at the door. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every job. If it isn’t done right, one call brings us back. No runaround, no fine print. And when you call at 2 a.m. because a gate motor is screaming in the dark, a live person answers. Hal answers. Not a call center three states away.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Argyle
Gate Repair
Sagging swing gates, slide gates that bind halfway, chain-drive operators that jump the track. These are Argyle’s most common calls, and they are almost always fixable on site. We weld, we square posts, we replace what actually failed, and we don’t sell you a new gate when the old one has years left. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Argyle.
Gate Installation
New construction is still moving across Argyle, and a custom drive gate on a 300-foot driveway needs more than a box-store kit bolted to cedar posts. We measure, we recommend the right operator for your grade and gate weight, and we install it so the gate swings true on day one and year ten. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Argyle.
Gate Motor & Opener
The 2010s-era operators on Argyle’s estate properties are reaching the age where actuators fail and control boards corrode. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your opener is new to us but your gate is old, we’ll inspect both before recommending anything. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Argyle.
Gate Access Control
Keypads that work for the farrier but not the pool company. Intercoms that crackle. Phone-entry systems that stopped recognizing the ranch manager’s number. We wire, we program, we replace components, and we test it with you standing there. You should never have to explain your gate to a guest twice.
Gate Parts & Welding
Broken hinge, rusted drop rod, a wheel assembly that snapped when a contractor clipped it with a trailer. We keep common parts on the truck and weld on site, in your driveway. You don’t lose your gate for two weeks while it sits in a shop queue.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Argyle
We work all over Argyle, and you’ll usually see us within about an hour of your call, same day in almost all cases. That goes for the big lots off Crawford Road, the Harvest neighborhoods, the custom homes near Copper Canyon Road, the ranchette parcels west toward I-35W along FM 407, and the equestrian properties tucked behind Lantana. Argyle is not a huge town, and we’ll be at your gate before you’ve finished your second cup of coffee.
Why Argyle’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Argyle sits in the Cross Timbers transition zone, and the soil under your gate is not static. Expansive clay swells in the wet spring months and shrinks hard during the summer droughts, which is why we see swing gates drift out of alignment year after year, even when nobody touched them. The gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and around here that hinge post is moving with the ground. The February 2021 ice storm hammered a lot of Argyle gates too. Operators that weren’t built for sustained freezes seized up, and some of the replacement hardware installed in the hurry afterward still hasn’t been weather-hardened. We check for that. A motor that works fine in October can fail ugly in a hard freeze, and in Argyle, a hard freeze is never a surprise. The long driveways on these large lots create another layer. A 300-foot gate run puts constant stress on slide tracks, wheel assemblies, and the edge sensors that stop the gate before it hits a horse trailer.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Argyle
- Hinge and post alignment: $180-$340 depending on how far the post has drifted and whether we need to cut and re-weld.
- Slide gate wheel or track replacement: $220-$450 depending on gate weight and track condition.
- Gate opener control board replacement: $250-$500 depending on brand and whether we’re matching LiftMaster, Linear, or a European board like BFT.
- Safety sensor or edge replacement: $140-$280 including labor.
- Full operator replacement with install: $900-$2,400 depending on gate weight, brand, and whether the old wiring needs re-running.

If another company already wrote you an estimate, bring it to us. We’ll give you a free second opinion and tell you honestly if the work they quoted is even necessary.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Argyle
How much does gate repair cost in Argyle?
Most Argyle gate repairs run between $180 and $500, depending on whether you’re dealing with a hinge, a wheel assembly, or a control board. A full operator replacement on a large estate gate can run higher. We give you a written price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change at the door. Call (940) 394-8744 for an exact quote.
Can you come today?
In most cases, yes. We’re based in the Dallas-Fort Worth office and serve Argyle locally, so same-day service is realistic for the vast majority of Argyle calls. A live person answers 24/7, and we’ll tell you over the phone what’s realistic for your specific problem.
Do you work on horse pasture gates, not just driveway gates?
Constantly. Argyle has more dual-gate properties than almost any community we serve. A front driveway with an automated slide gate and a back pasture with a manual pipe-rail swing gate on old hinges is a normal service call for us. We’ll quote both while we’re there.
My gate operator is only a few years old. Why is it failing already?
In Argyle, the usual culprits are clay-soil movement throwing the gate out of alignment and forcing the motor to work harder, or moisture and freeze damage from storm cycles like the February 2021 event. The operator might be fine. The alignment and the weather sealing might not be. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending parts.
Do you handle the wiring and safety edges, or do I need an electrician?
We handle the power run from the panel to the operator, the loop detectors, the keypads, the intercoms, and the safety edges. One crew, one invoice, and the gate works when we leave. If you’ve been told you need two or three different contractors to get a gate working, call us instead.

What Argyle Customers Say
"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
- Hollis Amberly"He came out in the snow to get our gate closed after a delivery lorry clipped it, then came back in the spring to do the proper repair when the ground had thawed. Only charged for the second visit."
- Ingrid Solheim"Hundred and forty feet of cedar privacy fence, all posts set in concrete, all of it dead level on ground that is anything but. He walked the line with me twice before a single hole was dug."
- Judith Stallworth
