Most gate problems in Fort Worth trace back to two things: the clay soil under the posts and the heat bearing down on the hinges. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we work exclusively on gates across Fort Worth. That focus matters because the gates here are wider, heavier, and more custom than what you’ll find in a typical subdivision. From Tanglewood’s decorative iron driveways to the long ranch-style entries on the west side, Fort Worth homes need a gate company that understands local conditions, not one that arrives with a generic fix. Call (682) 841-5749 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Worth Homes Are Different
Fort Worth’s housing stock runs heavily toward single-family ranch and traditional brick homes built between the 1950s and the early 2000s. Many sit on larger lots with gated driveways, and the gates themselves are often custom welded steel or ornamental iron rather than off-the-shelf aluminum panels. That means a sagging hinge or a misaligned latch usually calls for hands-on repair work, not a boxed replacement part.
The bigger factor is the clay. North Texas clay expands when it’s wet and contracts hard during dry spells. That movement shifts gate posts a fraction of an inch at a time, and over a Fort Worth summer those fractions add up. A gate that closed cleanly in April drags on the concrete by August. In neighborhoods like Mira Vista and Tanglewood, we can often spot the problem before the homeowner says a word: scuff marks where the gate bottom has been scraping during the dry months. Add in ice storms that seize openers and hinges, and local repair work becomes less about swapping parts and more about alignment, reinforcement, and understanding how each gate rides through the seasons.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fort Worth Services
Fort Worth homeowners call us most often for two reasons: a gate that won’t latch or swing properly, and an opener that’s stopped responding. Here’s how each one works in this area.
Gate Repair in Fort Worth
Most Fort Worth gate repairs involve more than a loose screw. The clay soil shifts posts, summer heat warps long steel frames, and ice storms strain hinge welds. We start by checking where the gate meets the post, where the hinges carry the weight, and where the latch actually seats. On oversized ranch gates the fix often includes realignment, hinge reinforcement, and adjusting the latch throw so the gate closes cleanly without slamming. You’ll see the written price before any work begins, and we protect your driveway and entry with drop cloths and shoe covers every visit. Full details are on our Gate Repair in Fort Worth page.
Gate Installation in Fort Worth
New gate installations in Fort Worth have to account for clay soil from day one. We set posts with the local ground in mind, because a post that’s perfectly level in May can tilt by September if the concrete mix and depth aren’t right for North Texas. Whether you’re replacing a worn wooden gate with steel or adding a gate to a driveway that’s never had one, we measure the opening, the slope, and the swing clearance before quoting anything. You’ll get a written price that covers the full installation, and the work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. See Gate Installation in Fort Worth for what’s included.
Electric Gate Repair in Fort Worth
Electric gate openers in Fort Worth face two local enemies: extreme heat on the control boards and ice on the armatures and hinges. When an opener stops mid-swing or the keypad goes dead, the cause is usually a board that’s been cooking in a metal box all summer or a limit switch thrown off by a shifting post. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems and diagnose the problem before recommending parts. The fix typically happens on the first visit, and you’ll know the cost up front. Our Electric Gate Repair in Fort Worth page has the specifics.

FAQs About Gate Company in Fort Worth
Most Fort Worth repair calls are scheduled within one business day, and emergency calls are answered by a live person 24/7. If a gate won’t close and your yard isn’t secure for pets or kids, call (682) 841-5749 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Some Fort Worth neighborhoods with HOAs, especially in gated communities, require approval before visible changes or new gate installations. Repairs that match the existing gate typically don’t need approval. Check your covenants if you’re adding a gate, and we’ll work with whatever the board requires.
Look at where the gate meets the post and note any scraping on the concrete. We don’t recommend adjusting high-tension springs or heavy hinges yourself, those can cause serious injury. A quick look at where the gate drags or where the latch stops seating helps us diagnose faster, and that’s enough to get started.
If your Fort Worth gate is sagging, stuck, or refusing to respond to the keypad, call us at (682) 841-5749. You’ll get the written price before any work begins, the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair and installation.

What Fort Worth Customers Say
"Good repair on a sagging gate. Part for the older motor took a few days, so two trips, but they explained it and were tidy and polite each time. Gate works smoothly now."
- Carmen Ulloa"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
