AfterGate Repair in Hurst, TX
Gate access control in Hurst usually means retrofitting keypads, card readers, or phone-entry systems onto gates that were built between 1965 and 1985, long before automation was standard. The Blackland Prairie clay under most Hurst lots heaves and shrinks through wet springs and hundred-degree summers, which shifts gate frames and pulls wiring connections loose inside control boxes. That combination of aging hardware and moving ground is exactly what we work on most weeks here. If your gate won’t open from the keypad or the intercom stopped ringing inside the house, call (817) 510-4183 and we’ll send a technician who can name the problem before touching a tool.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst is almost entirely built out with post-WWII through 1980s tract homes, most of them ranch-style with wood privacy fences along side and rear yards. The original gate posts on these properties went into clay-heavy soil at shallow depths, well before modern footing standards existed. The same Blackland Prairie expansive clay that shifts foundations across Tarrant County also works on gate posts: wet springs swell the soil, July and August droughts shrink it, and each cycle racks the gate frame a little further out of square. By the time we arrive, the damage is usually twofold: the concrete collar around the post has cracked from heave, and decades of torque have sheared the original lag-bolt hinges. A patch job on one of those two failures almost always leads to a callback within one dry season. The lasting fix on Hurst’s older interior streets is a full post reset with updated hardware, not a hinge swap.
The 1990s and 2000s brought ornamental iron driveway gates to many Hurst properties as retrofits. Those gates sit on the same clay, which means they develop the same post-lean and the same stress on motor mounts and limit switches. Summer heat above 100°F accelerates UV breakdown on wood gates and expands metal components enough that automatic openers bind mid-travel. Technicians who work this city regularly see the pattern: the gate works fine in spring, binds in August, and won’t close properly after the first fall rain re-swells the soil.
Our Main Hurst Services
Most Hurst homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t open or close, a gate that needs to be replaced altogether, or a motor that no longer responds. Each has its own page here.
Gate Repair in Hurst
Aging wood and ornamental iron gates across Hurst develop racked frames, sheared hinges, and sagging pickets as the clay beneath them moves through North Texas weather cycles. A typical repair call here starts with measuring the post lean, checking hinge welds and lag bolts, and determining whether the footing itself has cracked. If the post collar is broken, resetting it with a deeper concrete pour is the only fix that lasts past the next dry season. We write the price down before work starts and photograph every adjustment before we leave. See Gate Repair in Hurst for the full scope and local pricing.
Gate Installation in Hurst
New gate installation in Hurst usually means either replacing a rotted wood side gate on a 1960s or 1970s ranch or adding an ornamental iron driveway gate as a retrofit. The critical variable here is the footing depth and concrete collar, because soils that shift every season will pull a shallow-set post out of plumb within a few years. We size posts for the clay, set them below the movement zone, and match the new gate to the existing fence line so it doesn’t look bolted on. Written pricing, a documented photo record, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise cover every install. Details at Gate Installation in Hurst.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst
Automatic gate openers in Hurst face two local enemies: clay-driven frame movement that throws the travel limits out of alignment, and summer heat expansion that binds the arm or chain mid-cycle. The opener itself is often fine; the mounting bracket or limit switch is not. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule so we can repair whatever motor is already on the property rather than selling a replacement. Our technicians photograph the limit-switch position after every adjustment and leave that record with you. More at Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst.

BeforeAfterGate Access Control in Hurst
Gate access control in Hurst covers keypads, card readers, phone-entry systems, and video intercoms mounted on gates that were typically built decades before those devices existed. The recurring local problem is that clay-driven post movement loosens the low-voltage wiring connections inside the control box, so the system works intermittently or not at all. We trace the wiring, identify where the frame shift broke the connection, and document the repair with photos and a written record of every setting. Learn more about the full scope at our Gate Access Control page.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad lights up but the gate won’t open, or it only works from one side of the driveway.
What it costs in Hurst
Keypad replacement in Hurst typically runs $185-$420 depending on whether the wiring harness or just the keypad unit needs replacing.
How we do it
We test voltage at the keypad, trace the wire run through the post and underground conduit, identify the break or corrosion point, replace the damaged section, and reprogram the codes before photographing the finished connections.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
The gate call-box dials but the house phone never rings, or the call connects and no one can hear the visitor.
What it costs in Hurst
Phone-entry repair or replacement in Hurst ranges from $240-$650 depending on whether the cellular unit, landline module, or power supply failed.
How we do it
We check the phone line or cellular signal at the call box, test the relay that triggers the gate motor, replace the faulty module or antenna, and verify the system end-to-end with a live call before leaving.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Hurst

| Phone entry system repair | $240-$650 |
| Card reader or video intercom | $320-$850 |
Can you replace my old gate keypad with a newer one in Hurst?
Yes. We retrofit new keypads onto existing Hurst gates regularly, matching the voltage and relay requirements of the current motor. The written price covers the unit, the wiring, and programming before we start.
Why does my gate keypad stop working every summer in Hurst?
Drought shrinkage in Hurst’s clay soil pulls posts slightly out of plumb, which stretches and eventually breaks low-voltage wiring inside the conduit or control box. We find the break, repair it, and often add a service loop so future movement has slack. Call (817) 510-4183 to schedule a diagnostic visit.
Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Gate parts and welding in Hurst means replacing the hardware that fails on aging gates: hinges, posts, rails, rollers, and the custom brackets that hold everything square. On Hurst’s 1960s through 1980s properties, the original hardware was typically lag-bolted into shallow-set posts that have since been worked loose by decades of clay heave and shrink cycles. We replacement-weld and refabricate on site, matching the existing gate so the repair doesn’t look like a patch. Our work is covered under the same written-price and photo-record standard as every other job. See Gate Parts & Welding for the complete service breakdown.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate drags on the latch side, the hinge screws pull out of the wood, or the hinge welds show visible cracks.
What it costs in Hurst
Hinge replacement in Hurst runs $95-$225 per hinge depending on whether it’s a bolt-on wood gate hinge or a welded ornamental iron hinge.
How we do it
We remove the old hardware, assess the post and frame condition, weld or bolt new hinges in place, and shim the gate so it swings level with even reveal gaps top and bottom.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans visibly, the concrete collar around its base is cracked, or the gate won’t latch because the post has moved out of position.
What it costs in Hurst
Post replacement in Hurst typically ranges from $280-$600 per post, including concrete, depending on post material and depth required.
How we do it
We cut the old post out, dig below the clay movement zone, set the new post in concrete with proper drainage, and rehang the gate once the footing cures, photographing the excavation depth before pouring.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement | $95-$225 per hinge |
| Post replacement with concrete | $280-$600 per post |
| Custom welding repair | $120-$400 per repair |
Can you weld my ornamental iron gate back together in Hurst?
Yes. We weld ornamental iron gates on site regularly, including cracked rails, broken pickets, and sheared hinge mounts. The written price covers the weld, cleanup, and a photographed record of the repair before we leave.
How deep do gate posts need to be in Hurst?
In Hurst’s expansive clay, posts should sit below the seasonal movement zone, typically 30 to 36 inches deep with a concrete collar that extends above grade. Many original posts only go 18 to 24 inches, which is why they lean. Call (817) 510-4183 for an on-site assessment and written quote.
