AfterGate Company in Keller, TX
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Keller gate company focused on the three things homeowners here actually deal with: gates that won’t close, gates that need replacing, and electric operators that stop responding. Keller’s housing stock, a mix of 1990s and 2000s builder subdivisions with ornamental iron driveway gates plus older horse-country acreage along Bear Creek Road with galvanized pipe gates, means our days vary from welding a sagging ranch hinge to diagnosing a dead Viking control board. Every visit gets a written price before work starts, shoe covers and drop cloths inside the home, and a cleanup photo before we leave. Call (626) 649-4572 for a free estimate, anytime.
Why Keller Homes Are Different
Keller sits on what local excavators call black gumbo, the expansive clay soil that runs through much of Tarrant County. It absorbs winter rain, swells, then shrinks hard during the long dry spells North Texas is known for. Gate posts respond by leaning, heaving, and pulling hinges out of alignment. Walk any street in the Hidden Lakes or Marshall Ridge subdivisions after a wet spring and you’ll see gates that no longer latch cleanly, often by half an inch or more.
The other Keller-specific issue is age. Production builders in the late 1990s and early 2000s put automatic swing and slide gates on thousands of lots as standard or near-standard upgrades. Those systems are now 20 to 30 years old. Control boards for mid-era Linear and Viking operators are being discontinued, hydraulic actuators are showing freeze-thaw cracks from Keller’s ice storms (this area catches more ice than Fort Worth proper due to slightly higher elevation), and weld joints are failing. Homeowners along Keller Parkway and Rufe Snow Drive routinely face a choice between rebuilding an older operator or replacing it with a modern LiftMaster or BFT unit, and the right answer often comes down to which legacy parts we can still get reliably.
Our Main Keller Services
The two calls Keller homeowners make most often are a gate that’s physically broken or leaning, and an electric operator that has stopped responding. Each service has its own Keller page with full pricing and detail.
Gate Repair in Keller
Most Keller repair calls are either a post that’s drifted out of plumb in the clay soil or a hinge that’s straining under a heavy ornamental iron gate. In the acreage lots off Bear Creek Road, we see farm-style tube gates sagging on corner-post hinges, often with a weld that’s finally let go. We carry the common hinge, latch, and bracket hardware for both residential and ranch-style setups, and we handle structural realignment as often as mechanical work. The full scope, including Keller-specific pricing, is on the Gate Repair in Keller page.
Gate Installation in Keller
New gate installations in Keller split into two broad groups: ornamental iron driveway gates in deed-restricted subdivisions where the HOA sets material and finish standards, and heavy galvanized pipe gates on the horse-friendly acreage lots. Both require setting posts deep enough to handle the clay expansion cycle, and we measure, quote, and schedule each one individually rather than rush it in a day. HOA approval is common in many Keller subdivisions, and we’re used to providing the specs boards want to see. Pricing and process are laid out on the Gate Installation in Keller page.
Electric Gate Repair in Keller
Electric gate failures in Keller often trace back to a control board that’s been discontinued or a limit switch that’s drifted after years of soil movement. We work on FAAC, BFT, Viking, and Linear operators, and we stock the replacement boards and remotes that keep older Keller systems running instead of forcing a full replacement. Ice damage to actuator housings is a recurring Keller issue, especially on north-facing installations. The electric-specific repair scope and costs are on the Electric Gate Repair in Keller page.

Pricing for Gate Company in Keller, TX
Keller prices cluster around the condition of the posts and the age of the operator. Here are the ranges we quote most often.
| Service | Typical range in Keller |
|---|---|
| Gate latch replacement | $95 - $185 |
| Post realignment in clay soil | $225 - $575 |
| Hinge replacement (ornamental iron) | $140 - $310 |
| Weld repair, single joint | $90 - $240 |
| Farm gate corner-post rebuild | $350 - $900 |
| Control board replacement | $280 - $625 |
| Electric operator motor replacement | $325 - $750 |
| Full ornamental iron gate replacement (single driveway) | $1,800 - $4,750 |
| Full automatic swing gate system with operator | $4,200 - $9,500 |
| Safety sensor and edge repair | $185 - $420 |
What pushes a Keller quote toward the top of these ranges is usually what’s under the surface: a post that needs to be reset rather than shimmed, a control board that’s been discontinued and needs a compatible replacement, or an HOA-required finish that costs more to match. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that’s the price unless you approve a change yourself.

What Keller Customers Say
"Electric gate was acting up. He was calm and methodical, found the bad sensor, and tidied the whole area by the gate post when he finished. No grease left on the driveway."
- Ravi Menon"Gate motor died and they replaced it carefully, cleaning every bit of debris off the driveway. Mindful not to leave the yard open with our dog out. Great crew."
- Benson Ide"The gate screeched and dragged. They fixed the track and oiled it, and wiped down everything after so there was no mess. Quiet and kind, in and out without any fuss."
- Opal Reddick
