AfterGate Company in Hurst, TX
Warden Gate Repair is the gate company Hurst homeowners call when a swing gate starts dragging, a latch won’t catch, or a gate motor stops responding. Most Hurst properties were built between the 1960s and 1980s on Blackland clay soil that shifts with every dry summer and wet spring, so gate posts tilt, hinges bind, and frames fall out of square in patterns we see across the city every week. We work exclusively on gates and gate openers, and we tell you exactly who’s coming to your door and what the written price is before we start. Call (828) 426-7081 for a free estimate.
Why Hurst Homes Are Different
Hurst is a fully built-out mid-century suburb, and most of its single-family homes date from the 1960s through the 1980s. That means the original backyard gates are now 40 to 60 years old, and in ranch-style layouts with rear alley access, those back-alley swing gates take daily use on top of what the soil does to them. The soil is the bigger story. Tarrant County’s Blackland clay expands when wet and shrinks hard in summer heat, and Hurst routinely sees weeks above 100°F with no meaningful rain. Posts set in shallow collars tilt outward; hinges throw out of plumb; latches that worked in May bind by August. Then spring storms re-saturate the ground and push everything back, and the cycle repeats. In older neighborhoods near Pipeline Road and Precinct Line Road, we regularly find original 4×4 wood posts set in concrete collars sized for stable soil, not for clay movement. The job almost always means breaking out the old collar, resetting the post deeper on a wider footing, and only then addressing the gate hardware. That’s a two-stage repair, and it’s why flat-rate quotes from companies that don’t know Hurst routinely underprice the work.
Our Main Hurst Services
The two calls we answer most in Hurst are for gates that won’t close properly because the post has moved, and openers that have stopped working because the motor or control board has failed. Each service has its own dedicated Hurst page with full pricing and local detail.
Gate Repair in Hurst
Gate repair in Hurst usually starts with the post and frame, not the hardware. When Blackland clay shifts, the post tilts, the frame twists, and the gate binds or drags. Our techs break out the old concrete collar, reset the post deeper on a wider footing, realign the hinges, and then replace whatever hardware actually failed. The written price covers the full job before any work starts, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, so if the fix doesn’t hold, the return visit is free. See the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Hurst page.
Electric Gate Repair in Hurst
Electric gates in Hurst fail for two reasons that both trace back to the local climate. Control boards and photo eyes wear faster in a city where summer heat sits above 100°F, and a gate that’s out of alignment from soil movement forces the operator to work harder until it burns out. We diagnose the operator, the wiring run, and the gate alignment together, because fixing only the electrical fault leaves the mechanical problem that caused it. For full pricing and the common failure patterns we see in Hurst, read our Electric Gate Repair in Hurst page.
Gate Motor Repair in Hurst
The gate motor is the box that slides or swings your gate automatically, and in Hurst it works against heat, dust, and a gate that’s frequently fighting a shifted post. We service swing-arm and slide operators from Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, and we carry the common control boards and limit switches for those brands locally so a motor repair doesn’t stretch into a multi-week parts wait. Written price before we start, every time. Details are on our Gate Motor Repair in Hurst page.

Pricing for Gate Company in Hurst, TX
Hurst pricing reflects the age of the housing stock and what the Blackland clay does to posts and frames. The table below shows typical ranges for the jobs we quote most in Hurst. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, and that price is what you pay. Always.
| Service | Typical range in Hurst |
|---|---|
| Gate post reset (single post, new footing) | $275 – $525 |
| Gate frame realignment (hinges, latch, plumb) | $180 – $340 |
| Sagging gate correction | $150 – $300 |

What pushes a Hurst job toward the high end is usually the post work. If the original 4×4 was set in a shallow collar and the gate has been sagging for two summers, resetting it properly takes more concrete, more depth, and more time, and that’s a two-stage job, not a quick hardware swap. The figure we quote is the figure you approve, and there are no surprise line items when the invoice comes.

- Shirley A."The vetted tech thing was important since our gate protects the whole property. Careful, polite, and walked me through every safety sensor."
- Russell W."Swing gate wouldn't latch after the hinge sagged. He re-hung it, adjusted the hinge pins, and fixed the latch. Quoted before starting."
