The work

About our gate repair and replacement

A broken gate is more than an inconvenience. It can leave your property open, your livestock loose, or your driveway exposed. Homeowners call when a hinge has snapped, a post has rotted, or the gate simply won't latch. The situation is often urgent, especially when security or livestock containment is at stake. We understand the need to get things working again quickly and reliably.

We start by inspecting the hinges, frame, posts, and ground conditions. For a repair, we replace worn hardware, re-weld cracked joints, or reset leaning posts using concrete and gravel. For a full replacement, we set new posts, weld a custom frame from steel tubing, and attach the gate with heavy-duty hinges. We test swing, alignment, and latch function before we finish.

The job varies with gate size, material type, and post condition. A heavy steel driveway gate requires more labor and heavier equipment than a small pedestrian gate. Access to the site matters: tight spaces or steep terrain can slow the work. Weather also plays a role—wet ground makes digging post holes harder, and high wind can complicate welding on tall gates.

On the day of work, we arrive with a truck loaded with steel, a welder, and hand tools. We protect your driveway or lawn with plywood and tarps. After the repair or installation, we clean up all metal scraps, welding slag, and packaging. Before we leave, we walk the gate through its full range of motion and show you how to operate it. You need only clear the area of vehicles and pets.

Hinge Pin Wear

A worn hinge pin causes sagging and binding. Replacing it with a galvanized or stainless steel pin restores smooth swing and prevents further frame damage.

Post Sleeve Repair

When a wooden post rots at ground level, we often weld a steel sleeve over the sound portion and set it in concrete, avoiding a full post replacement.

How the job runs

Our 4-step gate repair and replacement process

01

On-Site Inspection

We visit your property to examine the gate, hinges, posts, and ground conditions. We assess damage and measure the opening to determine the best repair or replacement approach.

02

Material Selection

We help you choose the right steel tubing, hinge style, and latch type. For replacements, we match the design to your existing fence or property style.

03

Fabrication and Installation

We weld the frame, attach hinges, and set posts in concrete. We align the gate level and square, then install the latch and any automatic opener hardware.

04

Final Adjustment and Cleanup

We adjust hinges for smooth swing, test the latch, and check clearance. We remove all debris, metal scraps, and tools, then walk you through the operation.

The difference

Why Walker Welding for gate repair and replacement

  • Custom Fit

    Every gate opening is different. We measure and weld each frame to fit your exact post spacing and grade, so the gate swings true and latches without forcing.

  • Heavy-Duty Materials

    We use schedule 40 steel tubing and commercial-grade hinges, not thin stock that will sag or rust through in a few years. The gate will handle wind and daily use.

  • On-Site Work

    Our crew brings the welder and materials to your property. We do all cutting, welding, and assembly right where the gate goes, so there is no shipping delay or fit issue.
