AfterTrusted Gate Parts & Welding for Prosper Homeowners
If your gate sags, drags, or won’t latch in Prosper, the fix usually comes down to two things: the right part and a welder who knows where to put it. Gate parts and welding covers hinge replacement, post repair, rail work, custom fabrication, rollers, and latch hardware, and most of it can be handled same day without hauling your gate off to some shop. If you’re wondering how much Gate Parts & Welding costs, we price by the repair, not by the gate. Hal Gatewood has been doing this work himself since 2001, and when you call (979) 291-0947 you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree. We work on Prosper gates in Prosper driveways, and every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
What Our Gate Parts & Welding Service Includes
We don’t sell you an entire gate when a $40 hinge is what actually failed. That’s the difference between a parts-and-welding shop and a replacement outfit. Here’s what we handle, and how we handle it.
Hinge Replacement
Gate hinges carry the full weight of the gate every time it swings, and when they wear, the gate drops and starts scraping the ground or pulling the post sideways. You need a hinge replacement when you see the gate lean forward, hear it grind, or notice the gap at the latch side opening up. We cut the old hinges off, weld new heavy-duty barrel or weld-on hinges in the right position, and reset the gate so it hangs square and swings true again.
Post Replacement
Most sagging gates aren’t actually bent in the middle, they’re failing at the post. A gate that’s sunk, cracked, or leaning means the post has rotted or shifted in the ground, and no amount of hinge adjustment will fix that. We pull the old post, set a new steel post in concrete, and weld the gate back in place, plumb and level. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
Rail Repair
Gate rails are the horizontal frame members that hold the pickets and carry the structure. When a rail cracks or rusts through, the gate loses its rigidity and starts twisting. We cut out the failed section and weld in new steel, then reinforce the joint with a sleeve or gusset so it’s stronger than the original. If the gate has been hit by a car or a wind-thrown limb, rail repair is usually the first thing we do.
Custom Welding
Not every gate problem has an off-the-shelf part waiting at the supply house. Sometimes an ornamental gate needs a missing scroll rebuilt, a drive gate needs a custom bracket for an opener arm, or a cattle gate needs a new section fabricated. We weld on site in your driveway, matching the existing steel as closely as possible and building anything that doesn’t have a part number. Hal’s been running a bead since 2001, and he’d rather repair a gate than replace it.
Gate Rollers
Sliding gates run on rollers, and when those rollers wear out, seize, or snap, the gate starts dragging and eventually won’t move at all. We replace flat-top, V-groove, and cantilever rollers with the correct load rating for your gate’s weight and length. A new roller set plus a track adjustment gets most sliding gates gliding again in under an hour.
Latch & Lock
A gate that won’t stay closed isn’t a gate at all, and a latch that slams in the wind can bend the frame. We replace broken latches, install heavy-duty padlock hasps, set up self-latching mechanisms, and weld striker plates where they belong. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing, usually at the latch or the hinge post.

Brands We Service for Gate Parts & Welding
Most of the hardware we weld and replace comes from a handful of manufacturers, and we’ve worked on every one of them long enough to know their quirks. FAAC operators ride on FAAC’s own brackets and release assemblies, and we stock the common wear parts so a repair doesn’t turn into a week-long wait. BFT gearboxes and limit configurations differ by model year, and we’ve been inside enough of them to match the right component to the right board revision.
Linear builds swings and slide operators that show up all over Prosper’s newer subdivisions, and we keep their hinge kits, roller trucks, and chain hardware on hand. We also serve Frisco Gate Parts & Welding customers with the same stocked parts. Viking gate operators are common on larger estate and ranch gates, and we’ve welded our share of Viking-specific mounting plates and gate stop assemblies. Whether you have a FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, or any other make on your gate, we can match the part or build what’s needed.
Signs You Need Gate Parts & Welding Right Now
- The gate drags on the ground when you swing it. This means a hinge has worn through or the post has moved, and every opening grinds more metal off the bottom rail. Once you see bare steel or deep scratches on the concrete, you’re looking at rail repair on top of whatever caused the sag.
- You can see a crack in the frame, hinge, or post. Steel cracks don’t heal themselves. A hairline crack at a weld joint becomes a full break, usually when the gate is open and the wind catches it, and that’s when the gate comes down on a car or a person.
- The gate won’t latch or stay latched. A gate that bounces open means the latch is worn, the striker plate has moved, or the whole gate has shifted out of alignment. In Prosper’s spring storm season, an unlatched gate slams against its stop hard enough to snap hinges and bend the frame.
- You hear grinding, squealing, or metal-on-metal noise. That’s a roller shot, a hinge dry and galled, or a track out of alignment. Noise is the part telling you it’s done, and running it another month just wrecks the parts around it.
- The gate leans or the posts are wobbly in the ground. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. If the post moves when you push on the gate, the concrete footer is cracked or the post base is rusted through, and that’s a structural fix, not a tune-up.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Process - Step by Step
- 1
Look and measure. We show up, put the gate through its range of motion, and take measurements at the hinge points, the latch side, and both posts. A 4-foot level and a tape measure tell us more than ten minutes of guessing ever will, and we’ll show you what we’re seeing before we touch a tool.
- 2
Show you the failure and the fix. Hal explains what actually broke, why it broke, and what the repair involves, and quotes the price right there in your driveway. The price you hear is the price on the invoice, and no work starts until you’ve said go.
- 3
Prep and weld on site. We cut out the bad steel, grind the area clean, and weld the new part in place while the gate stays in your driveway. No hauling your gate across town, no multi-week wait, no “we’ll call you when it’s ready.”
- 4
Test the gate under load. We cycle the gate several times, check clearances, adjust the hinges or rollers, and make sure it latches every time. If there’s an opener on it, we run the opener through its travel and check the limits and forces.
- 5
Stand behind it in writing. Every job leaves with the 90-Day Done Right Promise on paper. If anything we touched fails in 90 days, one call brings Hal back, no runaround, no re-quote.
How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Prosper?
A typical hinge replacement in Prosper runs $150 to $300 depending on how many hinges and whether we’re cutting off old weld material. For Celina Gate Parts & Welding jobs, pricing follows the same structure. Post replacement runs $400 to $900 for a single steel post set in concrete and welded, with the range reflecting post size, depth, and whether the gate has to come off and be rehung. Rail repair usually lands between $150 and $400, custom welding is quoted by the job but most small fabrications run $100 to $350, and gate roller replacement runs $120 to $400 including new rollers and track adjustment. Latch and lock work falls between $75 and $250.
What moves the price is the condition of the metal we’re welding to. Heavily rusted frames take longer to prep, and if the first weld reveals more damage, we’ll show you before going further. The way to avoid overpaying is to fix the part, not the panel. We don’t quote a new gate for a bad hinge, and we’ll tell you if a repair genuinely isn’t worth doing. Free estimates include the inspection, the measurements, and a written number, so you know before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Gate Parts & Welding in Prosper
Gate parts and welding is the repair discipline that replaces hinges, posts, rails, rollers, latches, and custom steel components on a gate, and welds them into place so the gate works like it did when it was built. It’s what fixes a sagging gate, a dragging slider, or a latch that won’t hold, without buying a whole new gate. At Gatewood Fence & Gate, it means we cut out what’s broken and weld in what’s new, right in your driveway. Our Gate Parts & Welding in Prosper page goes into the details.
Most hinge, latch, and roller repairs are done in one to two hours per gate. A full post replacement takes half a day because the concrete has to set before we rehang the gate. Custom welding depends on the size and complexity of the piece, but most one-off fabrications are finished same day.
Most jobs fall between $75 and $900 depending on what failed. Small latch and roller work sits at the low end, while post replacement and extensive custom fabrication run toward the high end. You get a written price before any work starts, and estimates are free, so call (979) 291-0947 if you want a real number for your gate.
Yes. We work on FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking operators regularly, and we stock the wear parts for the most common models on those brands. When the repair involves a bracket, mount, or gate-side component, we weld it in place so the opener arm and gate actually line up. Call us and tell us the brand and model, and we’ll tell you if we can fix it same day.
Yes. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, and for urgent gate failures in Prosper, someone will be out the same day in most cases. A gate that won’t close, won’t latch, or has dropped onto the driveway is an emergency, and we treat it that way. Call (979) 291-0947 and you won’t get a voicemail.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair we did fails within 90 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s a statement of what we’ll do, not a hedge, and it’s on every invoice.
Clear any vehicles from the gate’s swing or slide path and make sure the power to any gate opener is accessible if you know where the cutoff is. If you have a written estimate from another company, have it ready and we’ll give you a free second opinion. That’s it, we bring the welder, the steel, and the parts.
