Gate dragging on the driveway. Gate stuck open. Gate that won't close after a storm. These are the calls we get every day across Houston. Rampart Welding Fence & Access has been fixing gates in Houston and Fort Bend County since 1990 — structural repair, mechanical repair, opener repair, and access control.
We check the gate structure before the opener. Most gate failures start at the hinges, posts, or track — not the operator. Fixing the opener on a broken gate means the new opener fails under the same load.
Residential and commercial gates across Greater Houston.
Every gate failure has a mechanical cause. We find it, fix it, and explain what happened so it does not repeat.
Hinges, posts, frames, welds, and mounting hardware. This is the side of gate repair that opener-only companies decline.
LiftMaster, Apollo, Viking, DoorKing, All-O-Matic — control board, motor, battery, actuator arm, and limit repair for all major brands.
Keypads, telephone entry, Knox 911 fire access, card readers, loop detectors, and intercoms — the devices that control who gets through.

Most gate companies replace the opener and leave. If the gate is dragging, sagging, or misaligned, the new opener fights the same resistance as the old one — and burns out the same way.
We have been welding gates since 1990. Structural repair is a core part of what we do — not an afterthought. We check hinge condition, frame alignment, and travel path before touching the operator. That is why our repairs last.
Most residential gate repairs run $150–$450 depending on what failed. A hinge replacement is less than a control board replacement. We diagnose first and give you a straight price before starting any work. No surprise charges.
Call (713) 816-5880 immediately — do not text for a gate stuck open. Same-day response available across Houston and Fort Bend County. We carry common parts on the truck and close most stuck-open calls in a single visit.
Almost always the hinge first. The upper hinge pin wears and the gate tilts forward — the bottom rail drags as the tilt gets worse. The opener is fighting this resistance on every cycle. We fix the hinge before diagnosing the opener.
Houston storms cause three specific failures: power surges that kill control boards, battery drain from extended outages, and wiring damage from water intrusion. We diagnose which one on-site. The gate structure is usually fine after a storm — it is the electrical side that fails.
