Driveway Gate Repair in North Richland Hills, TX
From hinges to operators, we repair driveway gates of all sizes and styles so your property stays secure and easy to access.
Driveway gates carry more weight over a longer span than any other gate on a property, and they are the ones most likely to develop a mechanical problem before an electrical one. The single most common cause we see around here is ground movement. North Texas clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and a post set in that soil does not stay plumb forever.
Once a post leans, everything downstream suffers. A swing gate starts dragging its leading edge on the driveway. A slide gate starts climbing or binding in the track. The operator compensates by pulling harder, which is why so many of these calls come in as an operator complaint when the actual problem is in the ground.
We look at the whole assembly: post plumb, hinge or wheel condition, frame square, track alignment, and then the operator and its settings. Fixing the geometry first means the new part you pay for is not immediately working against a leaning post.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my driveway gate drag on the ground?
Usually the post has shifted or the frame has sagged. North Texas clay moves a lot between wet and dry seasons and takes gate posts with it. Sometimes the fix is re-hanging and squaring the gate, and sometimes the post itself has to be reset.
The gate worked fine last year. What changed?
Most often the ground did. A post that shifts even a couple of degrees changes how the whole gate sits, and the operator has been quietly working harder ever since. That is why gate problems tend to appear seasonally rather than all at once.
Can you fix the gate and the operator, or do I need two companies?
We do both. Welding, hinges, wheels, posts, and frames on the mechanical side, plus operators, boards, and entry devices on the electrical side. Most gate problems turn out to be a bit of each.
