AfterGate Repair Near You in Fort Worth, TX
If your gate won’t latch, sags on its hinges, or the opener stopped responding, we can usually have a technician at your door the same day. Latch & Post Gate Repair works exclusively on gates across Fort Worth and the surrounding area, from Arlington to Watauga. Call (682) 841-5749 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists, led by Cody Beckman. Every gate comes down to two parts: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on.
Fast, Local Gate Repair
Most gate repairs in Fort Worth take between 45 minutes and two hours once we’re on site. We stock common parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule on our trucks, so we don’t have to disappear for three days waiting on a shipment. When you call before noon, same-day service is typical for most of Fort Worth, Arlington, Euless, and Hurst.
Here’s the routine on every visit, no exceptions:
- Written price before work starts. You’ll see the exact number in writing, and you decide. No pressure.
- Shoe covers and drop cloths. If a gate control panel or wiring runs through the house to the garage, we protect your floors before we step inside.
- Quiet tools where it matters. If a kid is napping or a pet gets anxious around noise, tell us. We’ll work around it.
- A cleanup photo before we leave. You’ll see proof the work area is clean, not just our word for it.
That’s the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. routine, and it’s included on every job, not an upsell.
Areas We Cover
We’re based in Fort Worth and work throughout the surrounding communities. Homeowners in Arlington, Euless, Hurst, Kennedale, Watauga, White Settlement, and Forest Hill all get the same fast response and transparent pricing as someone right off Camp Bowie Boulevard. See our Gate Repair in Fort Worth page for more detail on neighborhoods we serve most often.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your street, call (682) 841-5749. The person who picks up can tell you immediately.
What Gate Problems Do We Fix?
We focus on three things: our Gate Repair services, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Within those, the issues we see most often in Fort Worth include:
Gate Won’t Latch
Wood posts swell and shift with North Texas weather, especially after a wet spring. When the latch and the strike plate stop lining up, the gate won’t stay closed. We often replace the latch assembly or handle Hinge & Post Repair to bring everything back into alignment.
Electric Gate Opener Not Responding
In Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil, gate posts settle over time. That settling puts extra strain on the opener arm and control board. We carry replacement parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so most opener failures and Lock Repair issues are resolved in one visit.
Sagging or Dragging Gate
Heat and drought shrink the soil around gate posts, which loosens them. A gate that scrapes the driveway or drags across the lawn is usually a post that’s worked free. We reset and brace the post, then perform Weld & Rust Repair and re-align the hinges so the gate swings cleanly again.

We also lay drop cloths on the floor and put on shoe covers before we step inside. Your floors stay clean, and you keep the after-photo to prove it.
How the Repair Process Works
If you’ve never scheduled a gate repair before, here’s exactly what to expect when you call Latch & Post Gate Repair Fort Worth:
- Call us at (682) 841-5749. A live person answers right away, day or night. No voicemail, no call center menu. You’ll describe what the gate is doing, and we’ll ask a few questions about the brand and symptoms.
- We schedule a visit. For most Fort Worth addresses, same-day or next-day service is available. Morning calls usually get a same-day slot.
- Your technician arrives. They come in a marked vehicle, in uniform, background-checked. They introduce themselves and listen to what you’ve noticed, then inspect the gate before touching anything.
- You get a written price. Before the first tool comes out, the technician hands you a written estimate for the repair. You approve it, or you don’t. There’s no obligation to proceed.
- The repair is completed. Most common repairs finish in under two hours. If a part needs to be ordered, we’ll tell you exactly what it costs and how long it will take before you agree to anything.
- Cleanup, then a photo. The technician puts shoe covers on before entering any indoor space, lays drop cloths where we’re working, and photographs the clean work area before leaving. The photo is your record.
Every repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print.
Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose a Gate Specialist
A gate is not a door. The post goes into North Texas clay that expands and contracts with every rain and drought cycle. The hinges carry weight the way a door frame doesn’t. The opener electronics sit outside in heat, dust, and lightning season. A general handyman who hangs shelves most days might not recognize why a V-stitch hinge is binding or why a Viking control board is throwing a specific fault code.
We are not a general handyman service. We work only on gates, every day. That’s what being part of the Cedarwell family means. And that focus shows up in the brands we service: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your gate runs on one of those, we know exactly what we’re looking at.
We also ask before we move or touch anything on your property. If that means moving a bike out of the way or trimming a branch that’s rubbing against the gate arm, we’ll ask first. That’s the “Ask before we move or touch anything” part of the C.A.R.E. routine, and it matters to families with kids’ toys, planters, and garden hoses in the way.
Electric Gate Safety: A Quick Note
Electric gate openers involve high-voltage control boards, moving parts with serious pinch force, and sensors that must be aligned correctly. If your gate opener is sparking, making a burning smell, or moving erratically, cut power to the opener at the breaker and keep kids and pets away from the gate path. Then call a trained professional. We’re factory-trained on the opener brands listed above, and we handle the electrical and mechanical work so you don’t have to put yourself in harm’s way.
