AfterGate Repair Services in Krum, TX
A gate that won’t open or drags across the caliche isn’t something you can put off in Krum. Not when the driveway gate is the only thing between your place and the county road. Most gate repair calls we handle in Krum come from two front-runners: an opener that quit after a storm, or a post that has shifted enough in the Blackland clay that the gate no longer latches. We answer the phone around the clock at (254) 345-4831, and we’ll have a technician familiar with Krum’s specific gate problems out to you fast.

Why Krum Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
Ironworks Gate Co. has been in the gate business for over 42 years, since 1984, and we work on gates in Krum the way we’d work on our own mother’s. We’re not a handyman outfit that sometimes touches a hinge. Gates are all we do. That focused experience matters when a 14-foot ranch gate on an ag fence line won’t travel straight because the post has heaved three inches since March.
Homeowners around Chisum Trails and the acreage off Swisher Road tell us the same thing: they’ve had a string of repair people who patch the symptom and disappear. We do the opposite. Every job leaves with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork games, no arguing.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They’re trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule, so the correct fix usually happens on the first visit. And when you call, a live person answers. Day or night.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Krum
Gate Repair in Krum
A sagging gate, a broken weld, a post that’s walking out of the ground. We repair the gate itself, not just the motor, and we check the structure before we touch the automation. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Krum.
Gate Installation in Krum
Whether it’s a new 14-foot slide gate on a ranchette off FM 1173 or replacing a twisted farm gate with a properly engineered steel one, we build and hang it to stay put. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Krum.
Gate Motor & Opener in Krum
If your opener was working before the last ice storm and now it just hums, that’s usually a seized hinge or an overloaded motor, both common in this climate. We service LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, and more. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Krum.
Gate Access Control in Krum
Keypads, intercoms, swing arms, and vehicle detection loops. If you want the gate to open for you and not for everyone on Chisum Road, we’ll set it up right the first time. Call us for a free estimate on gate access control in Krum.
Gate Parts & Welding in Krum
We carry or fabricate the heavy stuff: hinges, rollers, receiver brackets, and custom steel work. When a weld fails on an old ranch gate, we can replace it stronger than the original rather than telling you to buy a whole new gate.

Why Krum’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Krum sits on the Blackland Prairie, which sounds scenic, but here’s what it means for a gate: Houston Black clay. That soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it bakes, and it pushes posts out of square with more force than most people realize. A gate that’s perfectly level in May can be dragging on the striker post by August. We see it every year on older acreage properties where posts were set directly in native clay with no concrete footer. The post moves, the hinges bind, the opener burns out trying to shove a gate that no longer fits its own opening.
Then there’s the ice. Krum gets the same winter ice storms as the rest of Denton County, and every one of them brings calls about seized hinges and snapped welds. Residential-grade opener motors are often not rated for the added weight of a quarter-inch of ice across a 16-foot steel gate. If the gate survived the storm but won’t move now, that’s usually the culprit.
We also see a lot of new construction on 1-to-5-acre ranchette lots where old agricultural fence lines got automated gates added later. Those old posts were never meant to carry an operator. We reset them properly, or we tell you straight that a new post with concrete is the only fix that will last.

That’s the Blackland clay. Krum’s native soil shrinks dramatically in dry heat, which causes posts to lean and throw the gate out of alignment. If the post was set without concrete, this will happen every single year. We can reset it properly so it stays put. Call us after the first good rain to have it checked.
We’re trained and equipped on nine major brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Whatever opener is on your driveway, we can diagnose and repair it correctly, usually on the first visit.

What Krum Customers Say
"The hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Megan Whitaker"Reprogrammed every clicker in the community and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Devon Ingram"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
