AfterGate Repair in Burleson, TX
Gate access control systems in Burleson fail differently than they do in most of the Metroplex, and it starts with the soil. The city’s 2000-2015 building boom left hundreds of subdivisions with ornamental iron gates now running 10-to-20-year-old control boards, keypads, and phone-entry systems that are aging out at the same time the black clay soil is shifting the posts they’re mounted on. When the post moves, the control wiring stretches, the keypad housing cracks, and the card reader loses alignment with the strike. We’re the crew that sees this every week, and we quote the fix in writing before we touch anything. Call (682) 564-0512 and a live person picks up, day or night.
Why Burleson Homes Are Different
Johnson County’s expansive black clay, the stuff locals call black gumbo, swells hard after rain and shrinks just as hard in summer dry spells. That cycle torques gate posts out of plumb, and once a post leans even two or three degrees, every component mounted to it reads as a fault: the photo-eye beam misses, the keypad flexes, the opener arm binds. We reset posts and re-shim hinges before we condemn a motor, because in Burleson the motor is usually the symptom, not the disease.
Housing stock runs two directions. The newer growth corridors along Chisholm Trail Parkway and the 35W expansion hold HOA-grade automated iron swing and slide gates, many on lots worth protecting. The southern and western fringes keep genuine rural Johnson County acreage with ranch-style tube gates and agricultural swing hardware, sometimes on the same service route as a subdivision call. We carry parts and tools for both on the truck, so a single visit doesn’t end with a second scheduling cycle.
Our Main Burleson Services
Most Burleson calls start with one of three problems: a gate that won’t open, a gate that needs to be installed, or a motor that’s dead or dragging. Here’s the short version of each.
Gate Repair in Burleson
This is the call we answer most often. A gate that binds on a shifted post, a hinge with a cracked weld, a latch that won’t catch: these are repair jobs, not replacement jobs. In Burleson we pay special attention to the original Apollo and US Automatic single-arm openers still hanging on along the older 2000s streets off Renfro and Hidden Creek. The move is to repair what failed, photograph the adjustment, and hand you the record. Full detail is on our Gate Repair in Burleson page.
Gate Installation in Burleson
New builds and lot splits in Burleson often need a fresh gate, and new gates need posts set deep enough to resist the clay’s movement. We set posts below the active soil line, hang the gate with clearance for seasonal movement, and match the opener to the load, not to a catalog photo. You get a drawn scope, a line-item price, and a documented install. Full detail is on our Gate Installation in Burleson page.
Gate Motor & Opener in Burleson
Openers that hum and go nowhere, run halfway, or trip breakers are common across Burleson because the clay soil constantly changes the load the motor sees. We rebuild what’s rebuildable: capacitors, limit internals, terminal blocks, gear assemblies. If the motor is truly done, we swap it and set the limits in writing and on camera. Full detail is on our Gate Motor & Opener in Burleson page.

AfterGate Access Control in Burleson
Gate access control in Burleson means keypads, card readers, phone-entry, and video intercom systems mounted on gates that sit in expanding clay and take the full force of North Texas weather. When the post shifts, the keypad housing torques, the strike misaligns, and the control board sees a fault it can’t explain. Our job is to separate the electronic failure from the structural one, fix both, and leave a written record of every setting. This is the commercial-grade documentation habit Adrian Vance brought from access-control work, now on residential driveways across this city. Read more about the whole discipline on our Gate Access Control page.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad beeps but the gate won’t move, or the buttons crack and go dead after a freeze-thaw cycle in the Burleson clay.
What it costs in Burleson
Replacement keypads typically run $180-$450 installed, depending on wired versus wireless and whether the mounting surface needs re-shimming after post movement.
How we do it
We bench-test the old keypad, verify supply voltage at the board, replace or reprogram, and photograph the new unit and its settings before we leave.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
The gate doesn’t call your cell, the relay clicks randomly, or the system dials but won’t open the gate since the February 2021 ice storm stressed the board.
What it costs in Burleson
Phone-entry system repairs run $200-$600, with full replacement systems running $800-$1,800 for Burleson single-gate installs.
How we do it
We confirm the carrier signal, check the relay and terminal block connections, reprogram the entry codes, and document every setting in the job record.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Burleson
| Item | Typical range in Burleson |
|---|---|
| Keypad replacement | $180-$450 |
| Phone entry repair or full unit | $200-$1,800 |
| Video intercom / card reader repair | $250-$550 |
Can you fix a gate access system the same day in Burleson?
Yes. For keypads and phone entry, we typically repair on the same visit. For full video intercom replacement, we quote on site and schedule the install for the next available slot.
Do you work on the access system that’s already on my Burleson gate?
Yes. We service DoorKing, Elite, and Ghost Controls equipment, plus most common residential brands, and we always repair before we recommend replacing anything.
Gate Parts & Welding in Burleson
Gate parts and welding in Burleson means hinges, posts, rails, rollers, and custom fabrication that has to survive Johnson County clay movement and real weather. The black gumbo under this city moves posts, so the mechanical repair problem is usually a shifted post or a fatigued weld long before it’s a bad opener. Our team brings the welding rig and the parts for most iron and tube gates on one truck. See the full service range at our Gate Parts & Welding page.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
You see sag at the latch side, hear a groan when the gate moves, or the gate scrapes the ground after a wet spring.
What it costs in Burleson
Hinge replacement runs $150-$450 per pair, depending on whether we re-shim the post to correct the clay-induced lean at the same time.
How we do it
We cut out the old weld, square the post, weld in the new hinge, and photograph the finished bead and the gate’s hang before closing the job.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post is visibly out of plumb, the gate binds against the ground or latch, and the concrete collar shows cracks from repeated wet-dry heave.
What it costs in Burleson
Post replacement runs $400-$900 per post, which includes deeper footing work to get below the active clay line so the post stays put through Burleson’s seasonal cycles.
How we do it
We excavate, pull the old post, pour a deeper footing, set the new post true, re-hang the gate, and document the final position in writing and photos.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Burleson
| Item | Typical range in Burleson |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per pair) | $150-$450 |
| Post replacement (per post) | $400-$900 |
| Custom welding repair | $150-$500 |
Do you fix the post without replacing the whole gate?
Yes. Post replacement and re-shimming is a standard Burleson repair. We reset the post, re-hang the gate, and verify the opener still reads its limits correctly.
Can you weld a broken gate at my house in Burleson?
Yes, we bring a mobile welding rig. Most single-point weld repairs are done on site the same visit and documented with photos of the finished work.
Brands We Service in Burleson
We service Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule equipment in Burleson, plus the other major automation lines. The stock we keep locally is built around the openers this area already has, so most part swaps happen on the first visit. See our brands page for the full list.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Burleson
It depends on the scope. Most repair work doesn’t require a permit, but a full gate installation with new electrical does. We’ll tell you before we quote, and we handle the permit paperwork on the jobs that require it.
Many Burleson subdivisions require design approval for any gate or access control change. We’ll supply the specs and documentation your HOA asks for, so the submission is straightforward.
Yes. Burleson sits on expansive clay that swells and shrinks with moisture. The fix is deeper footings and proper drainage, not just resetting the post at the same depth.

What Burleson Customers Say
"They installed the opener and left me a diagram of the wiring and the limit settings. When I needed a second remote programmed I could do it myself."
- Nadine C."Honest about what did not need doing. Told me the operator had years left and only the control board needed replacing."
- Douglas N."Gate had been dragging for a year. They photographed the bent hinge post, explained why the operator kept faulting, and gave me a fixed price to correct both."
