AfterGate Repair Services in Oak Point, TX
If your automated driveway gate is dragging, beeping, or refusing to budge, you’re not alone. Homes along Lake Lewisville’s eastern shore deal with a very particular set of gate problems, and most of them trace back to the ground underneath the gate rather than the gate itself. We answer the phone day and night at (979) 291-0947, and when you call, you get a person, not a recording. We schedule service in Oak Point every week, and we know which neighborhoods sit on the heaviest clay.
Most Oak Point gate repairs are diagnosed in one visit. The fix often costs less than you braced yourself for, because we repair first and replace only what’s actually failed. If you have a gate that’s leaning, a motor that’s groaning, or a keypad that’s gone dark, call us before you tear the whole thing out.

Why Oak Point Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood started this company in 2001, and his name is on the shop. That’s not marketing. It’s the reason he’ll tell you to drive to the shop and look him in the eye if you want to know who’ll be standing behind the work. Oak Point is exactly the kind of town where that matters. Big custom lots, long driveways, gates that cost real money. People here don’t want a rotating cast of subcontractors. They want one guy who remembers their gate from last time.
We’ve repaired gates in The Peninsula, Eagle Landing, Lakewood Shores, and just about every other corner of Oak Point. Homeowners here tend to ask the same three questions: Will you actually show up, will you fix it in my driveway, and will the fix last. Yes, yes, and it carries a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the gate acts up again within 90 days because of our repair, one call brings Hal back. That promise is stamped on every job, not whispered as a maybe.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Oak Point
Gate Repair
We repair the gate you already own, in your driveway, with on-site welding so the gate never leaves your property. A sagging gate almost always starts at the hinge post in Oak Point because of clay soil movement. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Oak Point.
Gate Installation
A new gate only makes sense when the frame, posts, or operator have genuinely reached the end. If installation is right for your property, we measure, order, and schedule it properly. No rushed same-day promises on custom steel. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Oak Point.
Gate Motor & Opener
Motors fail for boring reasons: circuit boards, limit switches, stripped gears, and the slow drift of posts that throws everything out of alignment. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and most other major brands on site. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Oak Point.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and phone-based entry systems all need occasional reprogramming, especially after power surges from spring storms. We handle access control upgrades and repairs for local properties using Viking and Linear systems. Learn more about our Gate Access Control services.
Gate Parts & Welding
Broken hinge, cracked weld, bent track, or a latch that no longer lines up. We weld on site and keep common parts stocked so most repairs in Oak Point happen in one trip. Learn more about our Gate Parts & Welding services.

Why Oak Point’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Oak Point sits on the eastern shore of Lake Lewisville, and the ground under your gate is Denton County Blackland Prairie clay. That clay swells in wet winters and springs, then shrinks and cracks through the summer drought. The cycle torques gate posts out of plumb, stresses welds, and shifts hinges. We routinely see gates in neighborhoods like The Peninsula that are only three to five years old and already dragging, because the posts have moved even though the gate itself is still sound. Add in the lake humidity accelerating surface rust on ornamental iron, and Oak Point gates age faster than those ten miles inland.
What does this mean for your gate? It means post realignment and hinge adjustment aren’t one-time fixes here. They’re recurring maintenance, same as changing your air filters. If a technician tells you the gate needs replacing when it’s only a few years old, get a second opinion. In a lot of Oak Point cases, the gate is fine, and the posts just need to be pulled back to plumb.

What Oak Point Customers Say
"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"The fence is excellent and it was fairly priced. He is not quick to answer email, so if you need him, ring. He always picks up the phone."
- Rodney Falkenrath"Welded the hinge back onto our wrought iron gate on site rather than taking it away for a fortnight. Ground it back and painted it and you cannot see the repair."
- Winston Achterberg
