AfterGate Repair in Colleyville, TX
Gate access control problems in Colleyville usually trace back to two things: a 20-year-old control board that has outlived its design life, or a keypad that took a North Texas ice storm head-on and lost. Most estates here run ornamental iron driveway gates with a second pasture gate out back, so one service call often means diagnosing two completely different systems on the same property. If your gate won’t open, won’t close, or opens for nobody but the dog, call us at (817) 476-9945. We’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a tool.
Why Colleyville Homes Are Different
Colleyville’s housing stock leans custom and semi-custom, built mostly between the late 1980s and the late 2000s on lots measured in acres rather than feet. A lot of those homes have long masonry-pillar entries with automated gates that are now 15 to 35 years old and cycling through operator motor and control board failures. The gate that worked fine in 2005 is now running on a control board with capacitors that have dried out and a motor that draws twice the current it should.
The soil under those gates matters more than most homeowners realize. North Texas expansive black clay shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and Colleyville’s larger parcels have a lot of it. When the clay heaves, gate posts move. A cantilever or swing gate that was perfectly level in April can drag by July, and by October the operator is fighting the load every single cycle. That’s not a motor problem. That’s a post settlement problem, and it shows up here more than almost anywhere else in the metro.
Colleyville’s equestrian-zoned overlay districts add one more layer. Properties near John McCain Road and the larger acreage lots in the city’s interior often have a decorative iron frontage gate and a separate pipe-rail or wood panel pasture gate out back. Those rear gates are frequently 16 to 20 feet wide and built with agricultural-grade hardware that standard residential parts won’t carry. When we roll up to a Colleyville property, we plan for both gates.
Our Main Colleyville Services
Most Colleyville calls fall into one of three buckets: a gate that needs repair, a gate that needs to be replaced or installed new, or a motor and opener that has given up. Here’s how each works in this city.
Gate Repair in Colleyville
Repair work in Colleyville is usually a diagnosis job first. The gate drags because a post moved, or it won’t open because a hinge seized after a wet spring. We find the actual cause, put a written price in your hand, and fix it the same visit when parts allow. Colleyville’s older estate gates often need a combination of mechanical and electrical work in one call. See the full breakdown at Gate Repair in Colleyville.
Gate Installation in Colleyville
New installations here usually mean custom estates or replacement of a gate that’s rusted through at the welds. We measure, order, and schedule; we don’t rush a gate install to hit a same-day promise because a gate set on unsettled black clay will be crooked in a year. Colleyville lots often need a front decorative gate and a heavy rear pasture gate designed to different standards and hung on different hardware. Details at Gate Installation in Colleyville.
Gate Motor & Opener in Colleyville
Colleyville’s older automated gates are reaching the end of their operator life, and the February 2021 ice event pushed a lot of them over the edge. Motors burnt out while running against frozen hardware; control boards cracked in the cold. When we replace an opener here, we check the gate’s current draw and the post alignment first, because throwing a new motor onto a dragging gate just kills the new motor too. More on what’s involved at Gate Motor & Opener in Colleyville.

BeforeAfterGate Access Control in Colleyville
Gate access control in Colleyville is the system that decides who gets in: keypads, remotes, phone entry, card readers, video intercoms. Homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s here often have original access hardware that’s now 20-plus years old, with keypads that have gone dim and receivers that have drifted off frequency. The expansive clay under Colleyville also means gate and pedestal movement can pull wiring loose or crack the conduit where access-control lines run. When a keypad stops opening the gate, the problem is rarely just the keypad. We trace the whole circuit before we replace anything, and the written report you get shows exactly what we found.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
Your keypad works only when it wants to, the buttons need to be pressed twice, or the backlight has gone dark.
What it costs in Colleyville
Keypad replacement in Colleyville typically runs $180 to $340, including the new unit and the wiring check.
How we do it
We test voltage at the keypad, pull the old unit, install the new keypad, and reprogram your codes.
Remote Control
Signs you need it
Your remote opens the gate only from ten feet away, or it stopped working right after a battery change.
What it costs in Colleyville
Remote programming or replacement in Colleyville runs $75 to $160 per remote, including receiver setup.
How we do it
We check the receiver frequency, program the new remote, and confirm range from the driveway and the street.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
Your gate’s phone entry unit dials but no one can hear you, or it won’t ring through to your cell at all.
What it costs in Colleyville
Phone entry system repair or replacement in Colleyville runs $320 to $600, depending on the unit and wiring.
How we do it
We test the line voltage and relay, then replace the unit or re-terminate the wiring and verify calls ring through.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
Your video intercom shows a black screen, or the audio works but the picture doesn’t.
What it costs in Colleyville
Video intercom replacement in Colleyville runs $350 to $800, depending on whether the existing cabling can be reused.
How we do it
We check the camera feed and the wiring run, then swap the unit or replace the cable and aim the camera for your entry.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Keypad replacement | $180 - $340 |
| Remote programming or replacement | $75 - $160 |
| Phone entry system repair | $320 - $600 |
Can you program a new keypad the same day in Colleyville?
Yes. We carry common keypad units on the truck, so same-day programming is usually possible. If your system takes a proprietary unit we special-order it and schedule the install for the day it arrives. Call (817) 476-9945 for the exact model price.
Why did my gate opener stop responding to every remote at once?
That usually means the receiver board inside the operator has failed or lost its programming, not that four remotes died at the same time. We bench-test the receiver and replace or reprogram as needed. Most receiver repairs finish in one visit.
For more detail on what’s covered, see our Gate Access Control page, which explains the brands, the wiring habits, and our documentation standard. Call (817) 476-9945 for a written quote on any access control job.
Gate Parts & Welding in Colleyville
Gate parts and welding in Colleyville is where the city’s older estate gates and its equestrian-zoned rear gates meet the same problem: metal that has been up for 20 or 30 years and is now failing at the hinges, the posts, or the welds. The February 2021 ice event cracked wrought-iron weld points across the city, and the shifting black clay under larger parcels keeps torquing pipe-rail gates until joints snap or posts lean. A sagging gate that scrapes the driveway is almost always a hinge or post problem, not a motor problem. We weld and replace parts in place, and every job ends with a photo record of the new welds and hardware.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate sags visibly, scrapes the ground on one edge, or the hinge pin has worn into an oval.
What it costs in Colleyville
Hinge replacement in Colleyville runs $180 to $340 per hinge, including the new hardware and the gate re-set.
How we do it
We support the gate, cut or unbolt the old hinge, weld in the new one, and reset the gate’s swing and clearance.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans visibly, the gate has dropped at the latch side, or you can rock the post by hand.
What it costs in Colleyville
Post replacement in Colleyville runs $400 to $800 per post, depending on depth, concrete, and whether the old post must be dug out.
How we do it
We pull the old post, over-dig the hole for deeper embedment, pour new concrete, and reset the gate once the post is plumb.
Custom Welding
Signs you need it
You see a crack running along a weld, a rail has separated from the frame, or an ice storm split a joint.
What it costs in Colleyville
Custom welding in Colleyville runs $160 to $380 per weld repair, including surface prep and a post-weld photo log.
How we do it
We grind the crack clean, re-weld the joint, and coat the repaired area so the new weld doesn’t rust immediately.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Colleyville
| Item | Typical range in Colleyville |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per hinge) | $180 - $340 |
| Post replacement (per post) | $400 - $800 |
| Custom welding (per weld) | $160 - $380 |
Can you weld a cracked wrought-iron gate in place, or does it have to come down?
We weld most cracks in place on the hinged gate, which is faster and avoids re-hanging a heavy iron gate. If the crack is near a hinge or has spread into the frame, we take the gate down and repair it flat. Call (817) 476-9945 with a photo and we’ll tell you which one applies.
How deep do you set a replacement gate post in Colleyville’s clay soil?
We set gate posts at least 30 inches deep, and often 36 inches on bigger driveway gates or in loose clay, with concrete poured below and around the post. Deeper embedment resists the seasonal heave that keeps moving Colleyville posts. We photograph the hole before we pour.
Our Gate Parts & Welding page has the full list of what we fabricate, repair, and replace. If a hinge, post, or weld is failing, call (817) 476-9945 and we’ll put the repair price in writing before we start.

Many Colleyville communities with masonry-pillar entries have appearance standards for gate style and color. Repairs and like-for-like part swaps don’t usually need approval. A full gate replacement often does, so check your HOA’s improvement guidelines before ordering. We can provide the spec sheet your HOA asks for.
Yes. Colleyville’s equestrian-zoned properties often have both a decorative iron frontage gate and a heavy rear pipe-rail gate, and we schedule one dispatch to work through each system. We quote both jobs separately, in writing, and you approve each before we start.

What Colleyville Customers Say
"Our gate was hit by a delivery truck. They came out, documented the damage properly for the insurer, and the claim went through without an argument."
- Camille R."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."
- Terrence B."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.
