AfterGate Repair in Keller, TX
Gate motor and opener repair in Keller typically runs $275-$675 depending on whether the issue is a limit switch, control board, or full motor replacement, and most jobs are completed the same day. Keller’s housing stock presents a specific challenge: hundreds of ornamental iron driveway gates were installed during the 1995-2010 master-planned subdivision boom, and those operators are now failing in clusters as they reach the 20-30 year mark. The black-clay soils common across Tarrant County compound the problem, heaving gate posts seasonally and throwing automatic gates out of travel alignment. If your gate is grinding, creeping, or unresponsive, call (928) 260-0864 and a live person will answer.
Why Keller Homes Are Different
Keller’s rapid build-out during the 1990s and 2000s means most subdivisions here got their ornamental iron gates and automatic operators at roughly the same time, from the same contractors. In neighborhoods like Hidden Lakes and Keller Crossing, the original operators, many of them Linear or Eagle-brand units, are failing within the same season on the same streets. Neighbors call us the same week because their gates share the same timeline.
The soil is the second factor. North Texas shrink-swell clay expands when it rains and contracts when it dries. In Keller, that cycle pushes gate posts out of plumb slowly, season after season. A gate that ran perfectly five years ago slowly starts binding at one point in its arc, and by the time you notice, the post has moved a half inch and the hinges are carrying a load they were never designed for. Summer heat adds stress to bottom rollers and pivot hinges on heavier iron gates as concrete pads shift.
Most Keller gates sit in HOA-governed subdivisions, which means repairs usually need to match the original style and finish. We carry common ornamental profiles and match existing ironwork so a repaired gate does not stand out from the rest of the street.
Our Main Keller Services
Two services account for most of what Keller homeowners call us about: full gate repair when something has broken or failed, and new gate installation when the existing gate is beyond saving or the homeowner wants an upgrade. Both are priced in writing before any work starts.
Gate Repair in Keller
Keller gate repair means diagnosing what failed on an aging ornamental gate, whether that is a hinge pulling out of a heaving post, a motor that stopped responding, or a weld that cracked under years of clay-soil movement. We document what we find, price the fix in writing, and complete the job with a photo record of every adjustment. See Gate Repair in Keller for the full breakdown of what this service covers in your neighborhood.
Gate Installation in Keller
New gate installation in Keller usually involves a custom or semi-custom ornamental iron gate sized to an existing opening, with the operator matched to the gate weight and the post foundation engineered for our clay soil. The written quote includes the gate, operator, hardware, and any post work required. See Gate Installation in Keller for details on the process and typical project timelines.

BeforeAfterGate Motor & Opener in Keller
Gate motor and opener work in Keller usually means one of two things: the operator on a 1990s-era ornamental swing gate has finally died, or the control board is misreading travel limits because the gate posts have shifted on clay soil and the operator keeps tripping its safety reverse. Either way, the fix starts with a written diagnosis, not a sales pitch. We service Gate Motor & Opener jobs on every major brand already on the property, including BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls units that have been running since the house was built.
Motor Installation
Signs you need it
The operator is dead at the panel, the motor hums but the gate won’t move, or the unit is 20+ years old and replacement parts are no longer stocked.
What it costs in Keller
Motor installation in Keller runs $600-$1,800 depending on operator capacity, whether the arm bracket is intact, and access to the existing conduit.
How we do it
We verify the existing post alignment, pull the old operator, install the new unit on the same mounting, reprogram travel limits, and photograph the final settings for the job record.
Motor Repair
Signs you need it
The gate opens but won’t close, closes but won’t open, or the motor stalls mid-travel and reverses without anything in the path.
What it costs in Keller
Motor repair in Keller runs $275-$675 with most jobs completed same day; control board replacement is the most common repair on operators installed before 2010.
How we do it
We test incoming voltage, check limit switch position against actual travel, reset and photograph the corrected settings, and replace any failed component with a documented part number.
Linear Motor
Signs you need it
Your Linear operator beeps but does not move the gate, or the remote works intermittently and the failure gets worse when temperatures drop.
What it costs in Keller
Linear motor service in Keller follows the standard motor repair range of $275-$675; complete Linear operator replacement runs $600-$1,200.
How we do it
Because Keller is full of original Linear installations from the 1995-2005 build-out, we stock common Linear control boards and limit assemblies to avoid multi-day part waits.
Slide Motor
Signs you need it
The slide gate jerks at the same point in travel, the chain or rack is slack on one side, or the operator trips its internal overload repeatedly.
What it costs in Keller
Slide motor replacement in Keller runs $800-$1,800 depending on operator capacity and whether the steel track has shifted along with the soil.
How we do it
We check track level and post alignment before mounting anything, then set travel limits with extra clearance on the closing edge to absorb seasonal post movement.
Intercom Integration
Signs you need it
The intercom crackles or drops calls, the gate opens for visitors but the audio is dead, or the system predates the current cell network.
What it costs in Keller
Intercom integration with an existing gate operator in Keller runs $400-$1,200 including the new intercom module and control wiring.
How we do it
We wire the intercom into the operator’s open-command relay, test call audio from the street, and document the wiring changes in the job record for future technicians.
What Gate Motor & Opener Costs in Keller
| Item | Typical range in Keller |
|---|---|
| Motor repair (limit switch, control board, capacitor) | $275-$675 |
| Motor installation (standard residential operator) | $600-$1,800 |

Can you repair my motor the same day in Keller?
Most motor repairs are completed same day because we stock the common failure parts for Keller’s aging Linear, BFT, and Ghost Controls operators on the truck. Call (928) 260-0864 for a diagnostic and written price.
Do I need to replace the whole operator if the motor is weak?
Not always. A weak motor is often a failing capacitor or an overheating transformer, both of which can be replaced for a fraction of operator cost. We test before we quote.
Gate Access Control in Keller
Gate access control in Keller means upgrading an original keypad or intercom that was installed during the subdivision build-out and is now failing, or adding phone-based entry so the gate can be opened from anywhere. The specific problem here is age: access systems installed in the 2000s were not built for today’s cell-based entry apps and encrypted remote protocols. See our full Gate Access Control service page for the complete range of options.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad works in warm weather but fails when it rains or when temperatures drop below freezing.
What it costs in Keller
Keypad entry installation or replacement in Keller runs $400-$1,200 including wiring, programming, and integration with the existing operator.
How we do it
We pull the old keypad, check the wire run for corrosion or breaks, mount the new unit in the same location, and program entry codes on site.
Remote Control
Signs you need it
The remote only works within a few feet of the gate, or new remotes will not pair with the existing receiver.
What it costs in Keller
Remote control repair or system update in Keller runs $400-$1,200; initial remote installation with a new operator is included in the operator price.
How we do it
We test signal range with the receiver in place, replace the antenna if needed, and pair all remotes while documenting which frequency is in use.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
Visitors cannot call your phone from the gate callbox, or you want to open the gate from your phone without standing at the keypad.
What it costs in Keller
Phone entry system installation in Keller runs $400-$1,200; this includes the callbox, cellular module or landline interface, and programming.
How we do it
We install the callbox at the gate, connect it to your phone line or a cellular module, test call quality, and program the open command into the operator.
Card Reader
Signs you need it
Multiple family members or staff need gate access, and you want to revoke access without changing the keypad code for everyone.
What it costs in Keller
Card reader installation in Keller runs $400-$1,200 for a single-gate residential setup with a small batch of programmed cards.
How we do it
We mount the reader, wire it to the operator’s open relay, program the initial card set, and leave you with instructions for adding or deleting cards.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
You want to see who is at the gate before opening it, or your audio-only intercom cannot be heard over Keller street noise.
What it costs in Keller
Video intercom installation in Keller runs $400-$1,200 for a single-gate system with a wired or wireless video feed to the house.
How we do it
We run the video signal from the gate callbox to the indoor monitor, integrate the open command, and test the full call-to-open sequence before leaving.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Keller
| Item | Typical range in Keller |
|---|---|

Can I add phone entry to my existing Keller gate?
Yes. We wire a callbox into your operator’s open-command relay and program it to ring your phone. The installation runs $400-$1,200 depending on the system. Call (928) 260-0864 for a written quote.
Do you service access systems on gates you did not install?
Yes. We service every major access control brand on gates installed by any contractor, and we document the existing wiring before touching anything so the next technician is not guessing.
Gate Parts & Welding in Keller
Gate parts and welding in Keller usually comes down to the same two local conditions: posts that have shifted on clay soil, and ornamental iron that is reaching the end of its original hinge and weld life. The failure looks structural, but the cause is often below ground, a post that has slowly tilted until the hinge is taking the gate’s entire weight. See our Gate Parts & Welding page for the full scope of repair and fabrication work.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate sags visibly toward the latch side, scrapes the ground at one end of its arc, or the hinge pin shows wear grooves.
What it costs in Keller
Hinge replacement in Keller runs $150-$450 per hinge depending on size, finish match, and whether the leaf has pulled out of the post.
How we do it
We match the existing hinge profile, cut out the failed hinge, weld or bolt the new one in place, and photograph the finished work for the record.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans visibly, the gate will not hold a consistent gap at the latch, or the base of the post shows cracks in the surrounding concrete.
What it costs in Keller
Post replacement in Keller runs $400-$1,500 including concrete removal, new post setting, and re-hanging the gate to travel correctly.
How we do it
We saw-cut the old concrete, set the new post deeper than code minimum to resist Keller’s clay movement, pour new footing, and re-hang the gate after the concrete cures.
Rail Repair
Signs you need it
The horizontal rail is bent, cracked, or rusted through where it meets the vertical pickets, especially near the bottom rail.
What it costs in Keller
Rail repair in Keller runs $150-$450 per rail section depending on length, material thickness, and whether the pickets need re-tied.
How we do it
We cut out the failed section, weld in matching stock, grind the joints flush, and match the paint or powder coat so the repair disappears into the original gate.
Custom Welding
Signs you need it
You need a gate section extended, a new operator mounting plate fabricated, or a bracket that no parts supplier carries.
What it costs in Keller
Custom welding in Keller runs $150-$450 per hour depending on material and finish requirements, quoted in writing before the torch is lit.
How we do it
We photograph the original, fabricate the new part or section to match, weld it in place, and document the completed work with updated measurements.
Gate Rollers
Signs you need it
The slide gate grinds or squeals when moving, or the roller wheels show flat spots from years of carrying a heavy gate on a shifting pad.
What it costs in Keller
Gate roller replacement in Keller runs $150-$450 per roller assembly depending on load rating and track configuration.
How we do it
We support the gate, pull the old roller assembly, install the new one, and adjust the height so the gate rides level without fighting the track.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Keller
| Item | Typical range in Keller |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per hinge) | $150-$450 |
| Post replacement (full footing) | $400-$1,500 |
| Custom welding (per hour) | $150-$450 |
Can you weld my gate without taking it off the property?
Yes. Most hinge, rail, and bracket repairs are done in place. We bring the welder to the gate, not the gate to the shop. Call (928) 260-0864 for a written scope.
Do you match the original finish on ornamental iron repairs?
We match the existing iron profile and finish as closely as the original material allows, including paint or powder coat touch-up on the welded areas. On HOA-governed Keller streets, the repair should not be visible from the curb.

What Keller Customers Say
"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."The safety loop had never been installed correctly by the previous company. They showed me the reading, fixed it, and did not charge me for the diagnosis."
