Fast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Argyle
Gate repair in Argyle most often comes down to two things that fail together: a gate post that has moved in Blackland Prairie clay and an operator that has fallen out of travel limits because of it. We fix both in the same visit, and we quote a written price before any work starts. If your driveway gate is dragging, sagging, or stuck on a five-acre property off Gibbons Road or a ranch entrance near Copper Canyon, call Latch & Post Gate Repair at (626) 649-4572. We send a factory-trained technician to Argyle with the parts on the truck, not a promise to come back later.
Argyle is not a standard suburban gate market. Nearly every parcel sits on two to ten acres, and a single service call often spans a motorized ornamental estate gate at the street, a manual pipe gate at the barn lot, and a smaller paddock gate near the stalls. Our crews move between welding, operator electronics, and hinge work on one visit. That density of mixed gate types is specific to Argyle, and it is precisely the work we are built for.
Why Latch & Post Gate Repair Is Argyle’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We are a Cedarwell-family gate specialist, not a general handyman service. Latch & Post has been operating since 2009 and exists for one job: gates. That focus matters in Argyle, where a five-acre horse property gate call can require a welder, an electrician’s diagnostic skill, and a machinist’s eye for square and plumb. Our technicians train on the brands families here actually own, including Linear, Viking, and DoorKing, and they service Gate Repair jobs with the full Cedarwell Care Promise: a written price before work starts, shoe covers and drop cloths where the job touches the home or finished surfaces, and a photo of the cleanup before the truck leaves.
Argyle homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they want a straight number before the work begins and a crew that leaves the place clean. Every job, from a sagging estate gate off Old Justin Road to a welded pipe gate repair at a barn off Crawford Road, includes that. Cody Beckman leads the team that dispatches Argyle calls from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and a live person answers the phone all day, every day. No voicemail, no callback queue. When a February ice storm leaves a gate operator dead at the entry, you reach a person, not a recording.

Gate Welding in Argyle
Gate welding in Argyle is repair work on the steel and pipe gates that hold livestock and define property lines, and it almost always runs alongside ranch fencing rather than ornamental driveway entries. A six-foot pipe gate at a barn lot off FM 407 may have a hinge that has torn loose from the post, or a sag that a re-weld plus a diagonal brace will fix. Most gate welding calls in Argyle run $250 to $600 per gate depending on the extent of the weld repair, the need to reset a post, and whether we are adding gussets or replacing a broken hinge barrel.
Pipe Gate Hinge and Latch Repair
The most common weld repair we make on Argyle horse properties is a hinge that has pulled away from a round post after years of lateral load. We re-weld the hinge, add a reinforcing plate where the post has thinned, and set the latch so the gate closes square instead of riding the ground.
Estate Gate Structural Welding
Ornamental iron estate gates tell you when a weld is failing: the gate starts to droop at the latch stile and the operator works harder every week. We re-weld the failed joints, true the frame, and check the operator limit settings after the metal work is done so the gate does not grind its own gears to death.
Commercial Gate Repair in Argyle
Commercial gate repair in Argyle covers the automated cantilever slide gates and dual swing gates that protect equestrian facilities, storage yards, church parking areas, and the larger acreage properties along Highway 377 and I-35W. These gates cycle constantly, and when a V-wheel wears or a limit sensor fails, the gate becomes a liability. Commercial gate repair in Argyle typically runs $350 to $900 per visit depending on whether we are replacing a rack, a drive motor, a photo eye, or the operator board itself, and the price is always written before we start.
Slide Gate Track and Roller Service
On an Argyle commercial slide gate, the rollers and track take the abuse. We replace seized bearings, set V-wheel clearance, and true the track so the gate moves with one finger instead of fighting the motor. Left alone, a bad roller takes out the rack and the operator together, which triples the repair bill.
Operator Diagnostics and Loop Repair
When a commercial gate opens for no reason or ignores an exit loop, the fault is usually in the loop detector or a failing safety edge. We trace the circuit, replace the loop or edge where needed, and test obstruction reversal before we leave. Safety on an automatic gate is not optional, and we never leave an operator running without verified entrapment protection.
Trusted Brands We Service in Argyle
Argyle driveways are long, and most automated gates here are hard-wired, not solar. That means the operator brand matters when a board fails or a gear strips. We are factory-trained and stock common parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. On a call near McMakin Road or Lantana, we often carry replacement boards, limit switches, and gear assemblies for Linear and Viking units, so a dead operator is often running again the same day rather than after a parts order. If your gate runs on DoorKing, we carry their solar controllers and keypad wiring kits for the rural entries where trenching power is not practical.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Argyle Homes
- Post shift from Blackland Prairie clay. The clay under Argyle swells after spring rain and cracks in the summer drought, which pushes gate posts out of plumb and throws swing and slide gates out of their travel limits. This is the single most common reason Argyle gates stop mid-cycle, and it returns until someone does more than just re-tune the limits.
- Sagging ornamental estate gates. Argyle’s heavy custom iron and aluminum driveway gates settle over time, especially where the hinge post was set without enough concrete. The gate sags at the latch stile, the rack and pinion misaligns, and the operator strains against the drag until a gear or a board fails.
- Frozen operators and shattered plastic gears from ice storms. The February 2021 freeze took out residential gate operators across Argyle by cracking plastic gear assemblies and seizing exposed limit switches. After any hard freeze, we find dead operators at entries on both sides of town.
- Mixed manual and motorized gate systems. Many Argyle parcels have a motorized street gate plus one or two manual pipe gates at the barn or paddock. One call often means a welded hinge on one gate and a limit-sensor fix on another, which few suburban gate companies are set up to handle in one trip.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Argyle
In Argyle, the realignment usually fails because the post itself is moving in Blackland Prairie clay. The clay swells with spring rain and shrinks in drought, shifting the post a little more each season. If we reset the post in a properly sized concrete footing with gravel drainage below it, the movement stops and the alignment holds. Call (626) 649-4572 to have your post checked before you re-tune the limits a fifth time.
Look at the hinge post, not the operator. On Argyle’s heavy ornamental iron and aluminum gates, settling at the hinge post is what lets the latch stile drop, and then the operator starts pulling against a dragging gate. The operator may still run, but it is working harder every cycle and wearing its gears out. A technician can re-plumb the post and true the frame before the operator fails entirely. Estimates are free.
Yes. This is the most common Argyle service pattern we see, and we schedule for it. One technician handles the motorized estate gate while another re-welds the barn-lot pipe gate hinge and sets the paddock gate latch. The written price covers all of it before work starts, and you are not paying for three separate truck rolls. Call (626) 649-4572 to book a combined service call.
Ask the technician to test obstruction reversal with a physical object, not just a paper test, and verify that photo eyes or contact edges stop the gate in both the open and close directions. Every automatic gate in Argyle should meet the UL 325 entrapment protection standard, and any automatic gate installer or repair technician who skips that test is leaving a child or a horse at risk. We run the full reversal and edge test on every electric gate call, and we show you the result before we leave.
Yes. Many Argyle acreage driveways run solar-powered openers because the gate sits too far from the panel to justify trenching power, and we service the solar controllers, battery banks, and keypads on Viking, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule systems. A solar opener that fails is usually a dead battery or a corroded terminal, both of which we replace on site. Call (626) 649-4572 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
If your gate is stuck, sagging, or silent at the entry, call Latch & Post Gate Repair at (626) 649-4572. A live person answers, and the price is written before any work begins.
