Why Bastion Gate Repair Is Dallas’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Our Gate Repair team has spent years working on the specific mix of gate systems Dallas homeowners actually have. That means 1920s wrought iron with original scrollwork in Swiss Avenue, modern horizontal-plank driveway gates in Lakewood, and commercial operators at gated communities and HOA entrances across the city. We’re not a general handyman service that occasionally looks at a hinge. Gates are what we do.
Led by Brent Calloway, Bastion Gate Repair built its reputation on brand-agnostic diagnostics. We troubleshoot the problem rather than defaulting to a full replacement, because our customers in Dallas deserve a straight answer about what their system genuinely needs. Whether it’s a seized hinge post on a historic gate or a failed control board on a modern LiftMaster operator, we tell you the truth and quote the fix before any work begins.
Key Takeaways:
- We service nine major gate brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Mighty Mule.
- Residential and commercial gate repair across all Dallas zip codes, including 75201, 75202, 75203, and 75242.
- Free estimates and upfront pricing, agreed before any work starts.
- Brent Calloway leads a team that treats gates as perimeter security, not decorative afterthoughts.
Styles & brands we work with
Metal Gate Repair in Dallas
Metal Gate Repair in Dallas usually means dealing with rust, seized hinges, and sagging frames on steel and wrought-iron gates that have survived decades of Texas heat, humidity, and the occasional hard freeze. We repair or replace hinge posts, re-weld broken welds, rebuild rusted scrollwork, and realign gates so they swing or slide cleanly. A typical hinge and post repair in Dallas runs $250 – $650 depending on whether the post footing needs re-pouring or just shimming.
Wrought Iron and Scrollwork Restoration
In older Dallas neighborhoods like Swiss Avenue, original wrought-iron gates often feature decorative scrollwork that can’t just be swapped for off-the-shelf parts. We source or fabricate matching components and weld them in place, preserving the gate’s character while restoring its strength.
Hinge, Post, and Rack Repairs
When a steel gate drags or won’t latch, the problem is rarely the panel itself. It’s usually the post footing shifting in Dallas’s expansive clay soil or a hinge pin that’s seized and worn. We re-pour footings, replace commercial-grade hinges, and adjust rack and pinion drives so the gate travels smoothly.
Metal gate repair in Dallas typically costs $180 – $750 depending on the severity of rust, the number of hinges or posts involved, and whether custom fabrication is needed for older scrollwork. Every job gets a written quote before we start.
Wood Gate Repair in Dallas
Wood Gate Repair in Dallas is driven by the city’s climate. Hot, humid summers cause cedar and pine gates to swell and warp. Freezes make the problem worse, splitting boards and popping fasteners. We repair or replace rotted rails, re-square sagging frames, swap out failed hinges for heavier-duty hardware, and seal or stain the finished work to slow the next cycle. A typical wood gate realignment with hinge replacement runs $260 – $580.
Frame, Rail, and Brace Repairs
Most wood gates in Dallas fail at the corners first. The diagonal brace loosens, the frame racks out of square, and the gate starts dragging on the ground. We rebuild corners with structural fasteners, replace rotted rails, and re-hang the gate so it sits level.
Warp and Moisture Damage
In Lakewood and the M Streets, horizontal-plank gates in direct sun take a beating. Boards cup, pull away from screws, and bind against the latch post. We replace only what needs replacing, then reinforce the frame so the gate holds its shape through Dallas’s wet-dry-wet seasonal swings.
Wood gate repair in Dallas typically costs $200 – $650 depending on the size of the gate, how much of the frame is salvageable, and whether the post itself needs resetting in concrete.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dallas
Bastion Gate Repair works on virtually every major gate brand, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Mighty Mule, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite. That matters in Dallas because we see everything: an old FAAC with a discontinued control board in Lakewood, a new Mighty Mule on a ranch gate near Cockrell Hill, a commercial DoorKing at an HOA entrance in Richardson. We keep common parts on our trucks and order specialty boards with fast turnaround, so a discontinued part doesn’t leave your gate down for weeks. From Mighty Mule to FAAC, one call covers it.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Dallas Homes
- Post footings shifting in clay soil. Dallas sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in dry heat. That movement tilts gate posts, causing sagging and latch misalignment that panel adjustments alone won’t fix.
- Rusted hinges and seized hardware on older metal gates. Humidity and rain seep into hinge pins, and after enough seasons the gate won’t swing freely. In Swiss Avenue and Munger Place, this often means preservation-sensitive repairs on original wrought iron.
- Warped and sticking wood gates. The combination of summer humidity and winter freezes makes wood gates in Lakewood swell, cup, and bind. A gate that sticks today will split or pull screws in another season without frame reinforcement.
- Legacy operators with obsolete control boards. Many Dallas homes still run FAAC and BFT openers from the 1990s and 2000s. When the board fails, parts are discontinued. We retrofit modern LiftMaster or DoorKing operators with safety photocells, keeping your existing gate.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Dallas
No, not automatically. Swiss Avenue sits within a Dallas historic preservation district, and any alteration to an original wrought-iron gate, even a hinge replacement, can require approval from the city’s preservation office first. We prepare the repair documentation and can often use minimal, reversible fixes that satisfy review. Call (866) 321-6117 to have us look at the gate and walk you through what the district will ask for.
Because Dallas’s hot, humid summers wreak havoc on wood gates. The boards swell, warp, and pull away from screws, and once a gate has warped, a simple hinge adjustment won’t hold. We rebuild the frame with structural fasteners, replace rotted rails, and reinforce the panel so it holds its shape through the next wet-dry cycle. Call (866) 321-6117 for a free estimate.
Typically you need a new operator, because FAAC no longer supports many legacy control boards sold 15 or more years ago. For most Dallas homeowners, the smarter fix is retrofitting a modern LiftMaster or DoorKing operator with current safety photocells while keeping the existing gate panel. We’ll quote the retrofit against a repair so you can see the numbers side by side. Call (866) 321-6117 and we’ll tell you what the board actually needs.
Dallas sits on expansive clay that shrinks in dry heat and swells after rain. That movement tilts and shifts post footings, and if the post moves, the gate sags no matter how well the panel is adjusted. Durable repairs in Dallas often mean re-pouring or reinforcing the post footing before realigning the gate. If a previous fix didn’t hold, the post was probably never addressed.
Yes. Automatic gates in Dallas must meet current safety standards for photo-eye sensors and reversing mechanisms, and if your gate is in a historic district like Swiss Avenue or Munger Place, alterations may require preservation review. We retrofit older operators to meet safety codes and help with preservation documentation when needed. Call (866) 321-6117 to have us check your system.
