AfterGate Repair Services in Flower Mound, TX
When a gate stops closing in Flower Mound, it’s usually not a mystery. It’s a hinge that has been slowly sagging for two years, or a motor that died in last month’s hundred-degree heat, or a post that shifted after the clay soil did what Blackland Prairie clay does every spring. Most gate failures here give warning signs for weeks before they become emergencies. We answer the phone around the clock at (940) 394-8744, and we know the gates in this town because we work on them every single day, from Wellington to The Preserve to Lakeside and everywhere in between.
If your gate is dragging, binding, or refusing to stay put, the fix usually starts with figuring out where it’s failing. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start. Call us and a live person picks up, not a recording. We’ll talk through what’s happening, set a time to come look, and give you a real number before any work begins.

Why Flower Mound Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, his address is published, and he has been at it since 2001. That matters in a town like Flower Mound, where a lot of homeowners have already been burned by an outfit that quoted one price on the phone and charged another at the door. You’re not getting a rotating cast of subcontracted crews here. You get Hal, or you get a technician who answers to Hal. If it’s not done right, one call brings him back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s stamped in writing on every job, not buried in fine print.
We’ve repaired, welded, and rebuilt gates all over Flower Mound. In Wellington, where the ornamental iron gates have been swinging since the late ’90s and early 2000s, we see a lot of hinge pin wear and weld fatigue at the post. In The Preserve, the bigger custom estates often have heavier gates with operators that need someone who actually understands load ratings and cycle limits. We’re a home service company, but most of our work here comes from neighbors telling neighbors, not from an internet ad.
We’re state-licensed and insured. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. And we’re certified to service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your gate has a brand name on the motor, chances are we work on it weekly.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Flower Mound
Gate Repair
A gate that scrapes the driveway, won’t latch, or sags on one side is a repair call, not a replacement call. In Flower Mound, true repair-first work means fixing the hinge post, re-welding the frame, and keeping the original iron you already paid for. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Flower Mound.
Gate Installation
New build, full replacement, or a second driveway gate off the alley, we measure, spec, and install it square and level. On Flower Mound’s rolling lots, that means accounting for slope before the first post hole is dug. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Flower Mound.
Gate Motor & Opener
If the operator hums but won’t move, or trips the breaker, or opens but won’t close, the issue is usually in the control board, the limit switch, or the capacitor. We carry parts for the major brands and fix motors on-site when it’s practical. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Flower Mound.
Gate Access Control
Gate Access Control - Flower Mound: keypads, intercoms, remotes, sensors, and the wiring that ties them together. If the gate closes on the UPS truck or the keypad rejected your code twice this week, we can trace it.

We provide Flower Mound Gate Parts & Welding on site, which means your gate stays in your driveway. Cracked picket, broken hinge tab, rusted-through bottom rail. We fix the panel without the post and you won’t fix it twice.

Why Flower Mound’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Flower Mound sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay is the quiet culprit behind a lot of gate failures here. The soil swells after spring rains and shrinks hard during the hot, dry summers. Post footings move. A gate that was dead square in March can be dragging the driveway by August. We reset and re-level posts in this town far more often than in the flatter, sandier-soiled cities to the south and east. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Most of Flower Mound was built between 1995 and 2015 in large-lot master-planned communities. That means a high concentration of ornamental iron and aluminum driveway gates now hitting the 15-to-25-year mark, which is right when hinge fatigue, operator motor failures, and weld corrosion start showing up. And because so many of these neighborhoods have HOA appearance covenants, the repair often has to match the original finish and style, not just function. It’s a different kind of gate work than a rural farm gate or a suburban panel gate. You need someone who understands color-match approvals and what the HOA will and won’t accept.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Flower Mound
Most repairs in Flower Mound fall between $150 and $450. Hinge work, post re-setting, and motor repairs are the most common, and a full replacement is a different conversation entirely. Call (940) 394-8744 for an exact quote, and we’ll give you a price before we do the work. No trip charge inside the county.
Yes. Call the shop and a live person answers. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can get there today or first thing tomorrow. If your gate is stuck open and you need it secured tonight, we’ll move things around. Emergency calls are part of the job, not an upsell.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common things we deal with here. Flower Mound HOAs often require specific paint colors or powder coat finishes on ornamental iron gates. We factor that into every quote and handle the match so your repair doesn’t get flagged. The mechanics matter, but so does the appearance, and we don’t skip either.
Because Flower Mound sits on expansive clay. After heavy rain, the soil swells and lifts the post footing. When it dries out, the soil shrinks and the post settles unevenly. One side rises, the other sinks, and the gate starts dragging. It’s not sudden, it’s just that the movement finally reached the point where you noticed it. Post re-setting is a recurring repair in this area, and it’s almost always fixable.
For simple things like tightening a latch or clearing debris off the track, sure. But gate operators, tensioned springs, and heavy iron gates store enough energy to cause serious injury. A gate that weighs 400 pounds can break a hand or worse if it falls. If you’re dealing with a motor, a spring, or anything load-bearing, let a trained professional handle it. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing.
Need someone to look at your gate? Call (940) 394-8744 for a free estimate. Hal will answer the phone himself, or one of the crew will. Either way, you’re talking to a person who knows gates and knows Flower Mound.

What Flower Mound 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."
