AfterGate Repair Services in Coppell, TX
If your driveway gate is grinding, sagging, or refusing to open this morning, you’re not alone. Coppell’s ornamental iron gates, most of them installed when the city’s subdivisions were built out in the 1990s and early 2000s, are now hitting the 20 to 30 year mark all at once. That means a city-wide wave of hinge failures, operator burnouts, and misaligned latches. We’re Gatewood Fence & Gate, and we fix gates in Coppell the old way: Hal Gatewood or one of his crew shows up, diagnoses the problem on site, and repairs it in your driveway. Call (325) 936-1371 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why Coppell Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. He’s been fixing gates since 2001, and when you call, you get him or one of the people he’s personally trained. We repair gates in neighborhoods like Northlake Woodlands and the Villages of Coppell on a regular basis, so the person who shows up already knows what to expect from your HOA, your lot’s soil, and the age of your operator. We hold an A+ rating through the Better Business Bureau and maintain strong local reviews in the Coppell area. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every job: if it’s not done right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround. We also do on-site welding, so your gate stays in your driveway while we reinforce it, rather than being hauled off to some shop across town.
Live Answers, Not Voicemail
Every call to Gatewood Fence & Gate is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail, not a dispatch queue, not a chatbot. When your gate is stuck open at 10 PM and you’ve got a dog that likes to wander, you want a human voice. That’s what we’re here for.
Upfront Pricing, Every Time
You’ll get a price before we start any work, and that price gets quoted and agreed to in writing. We don’t show up with one number on the phone and a different one at the door. We offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. No haggling required.

Why Coppell’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Coppell sits on expansive black clay soil that heaves significantly during wet winters and shrinks in dry summers. That seasonal movement racks gate posts out of plumb, strips hinge threads, and misaligns latch strikes. It happens on a predictable cycle every year, which is why a gate that closed fine in August suddenly won’t latch in March. The February 2021 deep freeze compounded things, cracking operators and splitting cedar boards across the city. When we diagnose a gate in Coppell, we check the post plumb first, because that’s where the problem starts. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.

What Coppell Customers Say
"Hundred and forty feet of cedar privacy fence, all posts set in concrete, all of it dead level on ground that is anything but. He walked the line with me twice before a single hole was dug."
- Judith Stallworth"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
- Otis Redmond"Welded the hinge back onto our wrought iron gate on site rather than taking it away for a fortnight. Ground it back and painted it and you cannot see the repair."
- Winston Achterberg
