Our team provides frame straightening, post bracing and welded repairs, delivering a leaf that moves freely again for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a single dragging leaf to a pair of heavy slide gates.
From the hinge pins and the track to the latch and the post, our team handles every detail of the moving parts. Serving Cedar Park, Georgetown and Leander, we fix the leaf first, because a dragging leaf wears out the operator pushing it.

What you can hold us to
Mina, Brodie Lane side, Shady Hollow
A sagging leaf that had worn out its operator by dragging on the drive
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Mina's gate in Shady Hollow, on the Brodie Lane side, was a sagging leaf that had worn out its operator by dragging on the drive. Mina's job was one 14 ft leaf dragging at the latch, and we set new hinges and rollers on that 1990s leaf. The job was an estimated $1,900 to $2,700 and took an estimated 4 to 8 hours on site. Mina's leaf from the Brodie Lane side now clears the drive and meets the latch squarely, and her operator no longer fights the drag.
Most automatic gate trouble starts in the metal, not the motor, so the table pairs each symptom with its check.
| Symptom | Likely part | What we check | Repair or replace |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leaf drags on the drive | Hinges, post lean | Pins, bushings, post plumb | Replace hinges, brace the post |
| Slide gate jumps or sticks | Rollers, track | Wheels, debris, rack alignment | Replace wheels, clear and reset the track |
| Latch misses the catch | Frame, sagging leaf | Square of the frame, latch height | Straighten the frame, reset the latch |
| Gate rubs or binds | Bent bars, loose posts | Gaps along the leaf | Weld, shim or replace a bar |
On Lakeway and Steiner Ranch slopes, a heavy leaf pulls its hinge post forward over time, so the footing gets checked along with the pins. On flat Round Rock lots, a slide gate more often fails at the track than at the post.

Putting new hinges and rollers on one heavy leaf is an estimated $1,900 to $2,700, with an estimated 4 to 8 hours on site.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Track slide gate with rack drive (track and wheel rebuild) | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 per gate | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Double leaf swing entry with operators (hinge and frame work) | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per entry | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Walkway or courtyard entry gate (hinge and latch set) | Est. $650 to $1,450 per gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
A walkway or courtyard entry gate with new hinges and a latch lands near an estimated $650 to $1,450, while a track slide gate with rack drive that needs a full track rebuild runs an estimated $1,700 to $4,800. A single hinge swap sits at the low end, and a bent frame with new rollers sits near the top.
Treat these repair prices as estimates, since the leaf weight, the hardware and any welding on a bent frame can change them. Your written quote, issued once we have put hands on the leaf, sets the final price and the repair schedule.
A gate leaf weighs hundreds of pounds, and a hinge pin pulled with the leaf unsupported can drop it on a hand or a car. Gates with an operator add a second risk, because a repair that changes the leaf's travel can defeat the photo eyes and edges. We test them after every repair, and a hardwired 120V operator needs an electrical permit if the work touches its power. Round Rock's Fire Marshal guidelines require a city-approved Knox key switch; confirm current text with the city.
New hinges and rollers come in galvanized steel or stainless, matched to your steel gate posts. Powder-coated aluminum latches suit lighter leaves, and hot-dip galvanized steel suits heavy ones. Gates left with mismatched hardware wear out faster.
Our owner has watched 17 years of Cedar Park gates sag, and the 1,483 projects behind that show up in the repairs that last. Every repair carries our 18-month workmanship warranty, and our lead welder straightens frames and rebuilds latches on the spot, so customers in Old Town and Wolf Ranch get one crew for the metal and the setup.
We repair gates across a 40-mile radius of Cedar Park, with many calls from Shady Hollow and Georgetown drives, and slide gate work along Round Rock streets. Steiner Ranch, The Hills, West Lake Hills and Rollingwood owners get the same service. Browse the service area page. Wes's keypad on the Quinlan Park Road side of Steiner Ranch went dead after a storm, and we replaced the burned board, added surge protection and ran the low-voltage line in conduit. Cora's 18-year-old operators on the Slaughter Creek side of Shady Hollow needed discontinued parts, so we fitted a new linear pair with battery backup and new photo eyes. Noor's 1990s gate in Flintrock Falls got its hinges checked first, then a linear operator, photo eyes and edges. Harold's six mixed-brand gates at Wolf Ranch in Georgetown get a logged inspection and an entrapment re-test every quarter. Beckett's 14 ft leaf in Great Hills had sagged on its first post, which no motor repair could fix, so it went on a new steel post. Clint's Volente Road gate runs on sealed batteries and DC operators, 400 ft from power, so a slow leaf there starts with a battery test.
If the trouble is power, see electric gate repair for boards and wiring, and gate opener repair for the motor and the repair-or-replace call, or gate replacement when the gate is past saving.

Usually worn hinges or a leaning post, as with one 14 ft leaf dragging at the latch in Shady Hollow.
Most repairs take an estimated 4 to 8 hours, and the written quote sets the schedule.
If the frame is straight and the posts hold, repair is usually worth it, and we run a hand test on the leaf first.
Twice a year, at the hinges and rollers.
Yes, a track slide gate with rack drive gets new wheels and a reset track, and the full job takes an estimated 2 to 3 days.

Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
