Call (254) 345-4831 and you’ll get a live person, day or night.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Corinth’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Corinth homeowners don’t call us because they want a gate. They call because the gate they’ve had for twenty years is leaning, dragging, or blown half off its hinges, and they’re tired of patching it. Our welders work across Corinth’s subdivisions, from the Oaks of Corinth to Fairview West and Lake Sharon, and we know what this soil does to a post. We also know what your HOA expects. When the architectural committee needs to approve materials before a weld repair, we help you get that done without the runaround.
Every job leaves with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No forms, no arguments. Victor Salinas, our owner, set that standard decades ago, and our uniformed, background-checked technicians carry it into every Corinth driveway. Dispatch is coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but the crews serving Corinth work locally and know the streets.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Corinth
Hinge Replacement
Corinth’s older wooden privacy gates and steel tube gates fail at the hinge first. Years of clay heave and wind racking stretch hinge barrels, egg out screw holes, and snap welded brackets. We cut the old hinges off, weld new heavy-gauge replacements, and set the gate so it swings true. On a 16-foot steel gate, that means a hinge spec that can carry the panel plus wind load, not just the panel.
Post Replacement
This is the repair that actually fixes a dragging gate in Corinth. If your hinge post rose 3 inches in the spring rain and dropped in the August drought, no hinge adjustment will hold. We dig out the old footing, pour a new one at proper depth with a 12-inch concrete base, set a fresh steel post, and weld or bolt the gate back to it. When we say proper depth, we mean below the clay’s active zone so the post stops moving with the seasons.
Rail Repair
Wind gusts from spring supercells twist and bow the horizontal rails on swing and slide gates, especially solid infill panels with no relief for the wind to pass through. We straighten or replace bent rails, reinforce pickets, and weld gussets where fatigue cracks have started. We’ll tell you plainly whether a rail is worth repairing or whether the panel is tired enough that replacing it saves you money over the next five years.
Custom Welding
Sometimes the gate needs more than a patch. Maybe your HOA requires a specific color and material, or your gate is an odd size, or you want a ranch-style pipe gate built to match the brick on your home. We weld custom gates in steel or aluminum, built for Corinth wind load, with footings sized for Blackland Prairie clay. HOA materials approval is part of the job, and we’ll walk you through it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Corinth
When a gate operator fails after a storm, the brand on the box matters. Our technicians are trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands including LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, and FAAC, which covers most of what’s mounted on Corinth driveways. We keep common parts for these operators in local stock, so a rack replacement or control board swap doesn’t mean waiting a week for a shipment. Whatever drives your gate, we service it, and we’re certified to do it right the first visit.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Corinth Homes
- Heaved hinge posts after heavy spring rain. Saturated Blackland Prairie clay swells and pushes the hinge post upward, so the latch side drags and the gate won’t line up. This is the number one welding-adjacent failure we fix in Corinth subdivisions.
- Dropped posts in late summer drought. The same clay shrinks 2 to 4 inches when it dries, pulling the footing down with it. The gate racks, sags, and starts binding against the operator rack.
- Twisted panels and stripped rack-and-pinion after straight-line winds. A solid infill gate catches wind like a sail. The panel twists, the top hinge bracket snaps, and on slide gates the rack strips off the operator gear. We see this after every spring storm season.
- Failed latch and lock alignment from years of soil movement. The gate didn’t move. The ground did. The latch post shifted, and now the lock won’t engage or the maglock gap is too wide. We re-square the frame and re-align the hardware.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Corinth
Blackland Prairie clay is the reason. Spring rain saturates the soil and heaves your hinge post upward. By August, the same clay has dried and shrunk 2 to 4 inches, dropping the post and throwing the gate out of square. The fix is a post footing set below the active clay zone, not another hinge adjustment. We can match the new post to your HOA’s approved materials and have the gate swinging true again. Call (254) 345-4831 for a free estimate.
Most Corinth subdivisions require it. HOA covenants across the city dictate allowable gate materials, colors, and hardware styles, so a welded steel post or a new panel that doesn’t match the neighborhood can get flagged. We help you identify what your HOA needs and prepare the repair specs for approval before we start. The approval process doesn’t delay the quote, and we’ve worked with most HOAs in Corinth.
Yes. When straight-line winds twist a solid panel, the rack strips or the pinion gear shears, and the gate won’t move under power. We straighten or replace the panel, weld the rack back into alignment, and install a new pinion gear matched to your operator. We service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, FAAC, and other major brands, typically in a single visit. Call (254) 345-4831 and we’ll get you on the schedule.
Most automatic gates have a manual release handle, usually on the operator housing near the motor. Pulling it disconnects the gate from the motor so you can push it open by hand. For high-tension springs and counterweights, do not attempt to release or adjust them yourself. Those components are under enough load to cause serious injury, and a trained gate technician should handle them. If your gate is stuck during an outage and you can’t release it safely, call us at (254) 345-4831 any hour, day or night. A live person answers.
If the panel is straight and the welds are intact, we can often reset the post without cutting the gate apart. We dig a new footing, set the post plumb and square, and then reattach the existing panel and hinges. If the post has shifted far enough to twist the panel or crack a weld, we’ll tell you honestly and quote the additional welding before we start. Either way, the price is agreed before the work begins. Call (254) 345-4831 for a free assessment in Corinth.
