Call (940) 394-8744

This page is for Ghost Controls owners in Denton, Corinth, Argyle, Sanger, and the surrounding county who need a gate that opens and closes without fighting them. If you’ve got a sagging panel, a hinge that’s pulling loose, or a weld that finally let go, call (940) 394-8744 and a live person picks up. That’s been true since we hung our shingle in 2001, and it’s still true at 2 a.m. when a gate won’t close and your dog is eyeing the open driveway.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Ghost Controls builds a decent opener, but the steel around it takes a beating in North Texas. Here’s what we see most often:

• Hinge welds cracking on the TSS1 and R20 series. Ghost Controls single-swing gates lean heavy on two hinges, and when the gate sags even half an inch, the weld at the top hinge takes all the strain. We cut out the old weld, straighten the post or replace it if it’s rotted, and weld fresh steel so the gate hangs level again. Fix the panel without checking the post and you’ll fix it twice.
• Post rot at ground level on wood-post installations. Denton’s freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil hold moisture right at the base of the post. We regularly see Ghost Controls gate posts that look fine at eye level but are hollowed out underground. We replace the post with schedule 40 steel set in concrete, then weld the hinge brackets to match the original Ghost Controls mounting points.
• Rail and picket separation on double-swing systems. The AXS series and the heavier DTP dual gate setups shift as the ground settles. When the frame flexes, the welds connecting the top rail to the hinge-side picket fatigue and crack. We’re welding those joints back solid, then adding a gusset where the rail meets the hinge plate so it doesn’t repeat the trick in two years.
• Stripped hinge bolt holes where the opener arm connects. Ghost Controls arms bolt to the gate bracket, and when a gate drags, those bolts wallow out the holes. We drill out the old holes, weld in new steel, and re-tap to the correct thread. It’s a small weld that saves you from replacing a perfectly good gate frame.
• Latch and lock misalignment after settling. In Denton’s clay soil, the gate post on the latch side usually moves first. The gate’s closing fine mechanically, but the latch won’t catch anymore. We weld a new latch plate or extend the existing one, and we check the post before we touch the latch. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s how a Ghost Controls gate repair goes when you call us in Denton:

1. 1
   You call, we answer. Not a voicemail, not a call center three states away. Hal or someone who’s worked with him for years picks up and asks what the gate’s doing.
2. 2
   We show up and look. We check the opener, the hinges, the posts, and how the gate sits in the opening. We don’t start welding until we know what actually failed and why.
3. 3
   We quote the price before touching anything. You get a written number for the parts and the work. If you’ve got a written estimate from another company, bring it and Hal will give you a free second opinion.
4. 4
   We weld on site. The gate stays in your driveway. We bring our welding rig, cut out what’s broken, prep the steel, and make the repair right there. No hauling your gate to some shop across town.
5. 5
   We test the full cycle. The gate opens, closes, and stays latched. The Ghost Controls opener isn’t fighting the panel. We check the force settings and the travel limits before we’re done.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If that weld or that part fails inside 90 days, one call brings us back. We don’t argue about it. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road.
