AfterGate Repair in Hurst, TX
Gate access control in Hurst usually means retrofitting a 1960s or 1970s ranch home with keypad entry, a phone-based system, or a card reader that works with gates sitting on Blackland Prairie clay. The original wrought iron posts shift seasonally, which throws off sensors, misaligns magnetic locks, and snaps wiring inside the post. We fix the gate, then we make the access system work around the soil movement instead of fighting it. Call (682) 564-0512 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst is almost fully built out, and most of the housing stock dates from roughly 1955 to 1980. That means the gate problems we see here are overwhelmingly repair problems on 40 to 60 year old installations, not new construction. Neighborhoods like Hurst Hills and the streets off Precinct Line Road sit on Blackland Prairie expansive clay. That soil shrinks during dry North Texas summers and swells after winter freezes, and it can move a gate post three or four inches out of plumb in a single season.
What looks like a hinge failure is often a footing failure underneath it. A technician who quotes a hinge adjustment without checking the post base is quoting a callback. Summer heat accelerates rust on steel and wrought iron, and hailstorms along the DFW corridor dent aluminum panels regularly. The work here is slow, methodical, and always starts with checking what the clay has done since the gate was installed.
Our Main Hurst Services
Hurst homeowners call us most often for these three jobs, each of which has its own dedicated page with local pricing and detail.
Gate Repair in Hurst
Repair work in Hurst almost always involves the post, not just the hardware. We reset leaning posts in new concrete footings sized for expansive clay, weld cracked wrought iron, replace rusted hinges, and rehang gates that drag or refuse to latch. The original installations are now 40 to 60 years old, and many have never had their posts checked. Gate Repair in Hurst covers the full scope and pricing.
Gate Installation in Hurst
New gate work in Hurst means replacing original installations, not building on empty lots. We install steel, aluminum, and wood driveway gates with footings engineered for Blackland Prairie soil movement. Every install includes a written scope, a written price, and a photographed record of the footing depth before concrete is poured. Gate Installation in Hurst has the details.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst
Motors on Hurst gates fail for predictable reasons: limit switches knocked out of adjustment by post movement, arms bent when a shifted gate binds, and control boards shorted by water intrusion. We service nine automation brands and repair the motor you already have rather than pushing a replacement. Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst covers repair and replacement pricing.

AfterGate Access Control in Hurst
Gate access control in Hurst usually means adding keypad entry, phone-based access, or a card reader to an existing gate that was never designed for automation. The 1960s and 1970s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Hurst Hills typically have original iron gates with no conduit, no low voltage wiring, and posts that move with the Blackland Prairie clay. That soil movement is the single biggest cause of failed access control here: a magnetic lock that worked in March stops releasing in August because the post shifted a half inch and the strike plate no longer lines up. We handle the wiring, the mounting, and the soil problem together. Gate Access Control is one of our core services, and we document every connection before we leave.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The gate works fine but someone has to get out of the car to open it, or you are handing out physical keys to multiple people.
What it costs in Hurst
Keypad entry systems run $450 to $1,200 depending on whether we are mounting to an existing post or setting a new one.
How we do it
We mount and wire the keypad, set codes, test the release, and photograph the wiring before closing the box.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
Visitors, deliveries, or contractors arrive when nobody is home and the gate is locked with no way to buzz anyone.
What it costs in Hurst
Phone entry systems run $800 to $2,200 including the controller and programming.
How we do it
We install the cellular or Wi-Fi module, program the call routing, test from outside the gate, and leave you a written record of every setting.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Keypad entry system | $450 to $1,200 |
| Phone entry system | $800 to $2,200 |
| Card reader | $500 to $1,500 |
Can you add access control to an existing iron gate in Hurst?
Yes. Most Hurst access control jobs are retrofits on original 1960s and 1970s iron gates. We run conduit, set a stable mounting point, and account for clay movement so the lock keeps aligning. Call (682) 564-0512 for a written quote.
Will the Hurst clay soil break my gate’s magnetic lock?
It can, if the post shifts and the strike plate moves out of alignment. We set posts in footings sized for expansive clay and leave adjustment room in the mounting hardware. Call (682) 564-0512 and we will check the alignment.
Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Gate parts and welding in Hurst usually means repair, not replacement. The original wrought iron and chain link gates in neighborhoods like Hurst Hills are 40 to 60 years old now, with rusted hinges, fatigued welds, bent rails, and posts that have moved with the Blackland Prairie clay for decades. Hail dents aluminum panels, summer heat accelerates oxidation, and freeze thaw cycles crack old weld points. We weld, we rebuild, and we replace the specific part that failed rather than selling a whole new gate. Gate Parts & Welding covers the full range of what we do.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate sags, scrapes the ground, or the hinge pin is worn halfway through from decades of opening and closing.
What it costs in Hurst
Hinge replacement runs $120 to $400 depending on the gate weight and whether we weld or bolt the new hardware.
How we do it
We support the gate, cut or unbolt the old hinge, weld or bolt in the new one, and photograph the finished work.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans more than a couple inches, the gate won’t stay latched, or rust has eaten through the base of the post.
What it costs in Hurst
Post replacement runs $300 to $800 including digging out the old footing and pouring a new one sized for the clay.
How we do it
We remove the old post, dig a deeper footing, set the new post in concrete, and brace it square while it cures.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Hurst
| Item | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement | $120 to $400 |
| Post replacement | $300 to $800 |
| Custom welding repair | $150 to $900 |
Can you weld a cracked wrought iron gate in Hurst without replacing the whole gate?
Yes. We grind out the crack, weld it, reinforce the joint if needed, and repaint the area. Most cracked iron gates in Hurst are repairable. Call (682) 564-0512 for a written price.
How long does a post replacement take in Hurst’s clay soil?
Typically half a day including digging and pouring. Concrete needs time to cure before we rehang the gate, usually 24 to 48 hours. We brace the post and leave written cure instructions.
