Gate Repair in Converse - Same-Day Repair, Priced Before We Start

Fast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Converse

Gate repair in Converse usually starts with one of three calls: a swing gate that won’t close, an opener that hums and stops, or a post leaning after rain. Our team at Latch and Post Gate Repair San Antonio handles all three, and most repairs get a same-week visit with a written price before any work starts. We work across Converse’s master-planned communities every week, from the older 1990s neighborhoods near FM 1516 to the newer builds east of Loop 1604. Call (325) 252-5195 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why Latch and Post Gate Repair San Antonio Is Converse’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Converse homeowners call us because we know what happens to gates on black clay soil. The same soil that shifts slabs and cracks sidewalks also moves gate posts. A gate installed square in March can sag by August. We account for that when we resquare posts and set new footings, so the fix lasts longer than a season.

Our reputation in Converse is built on the small things families notice. The technician wears shoe covers before stepping onto your driveway pavers and through your side yard. We lay a drop cloth under any gate we work on over finished concrete. Before we leave, you get a photo of the cleanup. Those are not upsells. They’re part of every visit, on every job, for every Converse customer.

Every call is answered by a real person at (325) 252-5195, including weekends and holidays. When your gate is stuck open at 10 p.m. with pets that might wander, you don’t want a voicemail.

Gate Welding in Converse

Gate welding in Converse repairs cracked steel and aluminum frames, broken hinge plates, and gate rails that have separated from the post. Many Converse homes have ornamental steel gates that were never built for the thermal expansion and contraction of a Texas summer. Weld cracks typically start at hinge plates and scrollwork joints, then spread. We repair the crack, reinforce the surrounding metal, and repaint or touch-up the area to match.

Frame and Hinge Plate Repairs

When a hinge plate cracks off a steel gate, the gate drops and drags. We grind the old weld clean, fixture the plate back into position, and weld it with reinforcement gussets where needed. Repairs like this in Converse typically run $180 to $420, depending on how much metal has to come apart to reach the joint.

Scrollwork and Decorative Reinforcement

Ornamental scrollwork is beautiful but thin. Kids climb it, wind pushes against it, and heat cycles work it until a scroll snaps at the base. We weld the break, then add a discreet brace behind the decoration so it holds up to everyday use. You’ll see the exact price in writing before we strike an arc.

Commercial Gate Repair in Converse

Commercial gate repair in Converse covers apartment complex entrance gates, self-storage facility gates, and gated business lots along FM 78 and Toepperwein Road. These gates cycle hundreds of times a day in the summer heat, and the operators burn out fast when they’re undersized for the gate weight. We service and replace operators, repair slide gate trucks and guide rollers, fix keypads and loop detectors, and weld broken pickup mounts.

Slide Gate Track and Roller Service

Commercial slide gates in Converse accumulate caliche dust and gravel in the track, which wears rollers and makes the gate drag. We clean the track, check the roller bearings, and replace worn trucks before they destroy the opener. A full roller and trough service on a standard commercial slide gate runs $280 to $650.

Operator Replacement and Loop Detector Repairs

Converse commercial gates often run builder-grade operators that fail after a few Texas summers. When we replace one, we size the new operator to the actual gate weight, not the original spec sheet. Loop detector repairs and replacement run $220 to $480 depending on whether we can reuse the existing saw cut or need to cut new asphalt.

Trusted Brands We Service in Converse

Our technicians are factory-trained on the brands Converse families and businesses actually own: DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls. We stock common replacement parts for these brands in our San Antonio warehouse, so a swing gate operator gear or a control board usually doesn’t mean waiting a week for a shipment. If your gate won’t open and the opener says Mighty Mule or LiftMaster on the cover, we likely have the part on the truck or can get it to Converse quickly. Gate Repair is all we do, so we carry parts a general handyman would have to order.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Converse Homes

• Undersized operators on heavy gates. Many Converse homeowners hang a heavy ornamental steel gate on an opener that was rated for a lightweight aluminum gate. The first heat wave burns out the motor or strips the gear. We fix the gate, then size a replacement operator to the real gate weight.
• Hinge post fatigue from shifting clay. Post-tension slab neighborhoods in Converse sit on black clay that swells after rain and shrinks in dry heat. The same movement that cracks drywall also leans gate posts. We see sag correction calls twice a year from some subdivisions.
• Missing conduit and power runs. Builders often set a manual gate at installation and skip the electrical conduit. When families add a gate opener later, there’s no power at the gate. We trench through the narrow driveway easement and run conduit for the operator, keypad, and loop detector.
• Track misalignment on slide gates. Heat expansion can bow a slide gate track by an inch or more. The gate binds, the opener strains, and eventually the motor quits. We realign or replace the track and adjust the guide rollers to match the gate as it actually sits.
