Arlington Gate Repair & Installation Services
From quiet residential streets to apartment communities, storage properties, and businesses across the city, Arlington runs on automated gates — and Garage Tec keeps them running. We provide complete gate services in Arlington, Texas: repair, new installation, automation, access control, and maintenance, all handled by one company with fast response and pricing you approve up front.
Gate Repair in Arlington
A dead gate is more than an inconvenience. Stuck closed, it locks residents out and traps vehicles in. Stuck open, it turns off the security your property depends on. We treat both as priority calls, find the root cause, and fix the actual issue, with diagnostics that check mechanical, structural, and electrical failures — including 24/7 emergency gate repair when you need help fast:
Gate opener and electric gate repair
All major brands: LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking, Eagle, All-O-Matic, Nice/Apollo, HySecurity, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and more — wiring diagnosis, control board inspection, malfunctioning motors, and faulty operators.
Gate won't open or close
Power failures, blown fuses, failed sensors, and operator lockouts diagnosed and corrected.
Gate opens but won't close
Almost always a safety device: a blocked photo-eye, a faulty edge, or a vehicle loop stuck in detect. Common, and quick once found.
Sliding gate repair
Worn rollers, fouled or bent track, broken chains, and sliding gates that grind, bind, or derail.
Swing gate repair
Sagging or dragging swing gates corrected at the source: seized hinges, bent operator arms, and leaning posts, plus adjustment and hinge repair.
Apartment and community gate repair
High-cycle entrance gates that take a beating from constant traffic — and the occasional impatient bumper. We repair impact damage, worn drive hardware, and overworked operators.
Access control repair
Keypads, telephone entry systems, card and fob readers, intercoms, and remotes repaired and reprogrammed.
Loop and sensor repair
In-ground vehicle loops, free-exit sensors, and photo-eyes serviced and re-tuned.
Storm and surge damage
DFW lightning is brutal on gate control boards. We replace surge-damaged electronics and can add protection for the next storm.
Welding and structural repair
Bent pickets, cracked welds, broken hinges, and vehicle strike damage on steel and iron gates. Technicians arrive equipped, so most repairs are finished the same day, in one visit.
Gate Installation in Arlington
Whether you're gating a driveway, an apartment entrance, or a commercial yard, we design and install the complete gate system — gate, operator, safety devices, and access control — engineered for how the entrance actually gets used, in custom iron or wood for residential and commercial properties:
Residential driveway gates
Swing and sliding designs in ornamental iron, aluminum, and wood-and-steel combinations, from clean and simple to fully custom wrought iron and wood gates built around your property layout and curb appeal.
Apartment and multifamily entrances
High-cycle slide and swing systems with telephone entry, resident remotes and apps, and free-exit loops, built for hundreds of cycles a day.
Commercial and industrial gates
Slide, cantilever, and barrier arm systems for Arlington businesses, warehouses, truck yards, and storage properties — see our commercial gate options. Cantilever designs need no ground track.
Security gates
Anti-climb designs, extended heights, and heavy construction for properties that need serious protection, with integration into parking control systems where it matters.
Custom and ornamental gates
Gate design matched to your Arlington property and existing fencing, including laser-cut names, addresses, and logos, fabricated in wrought iron to improve security and appearance at the same time.
Pedestrian gates
Access-controlled walk gates matched to the main entrance.
Already have a manual gate? If the gate and posts are structurally sound, we can add the operator, safety devices, and access control to convert it into an electric gate system. Automation is a different discipline than manual hardware, so the retrofit gets professional attention — and we check gate and fence condition before recommending it.
Automation and Access Control
Every automated entrance we build in Arlington pairs the right operator with the safety equipment and access control the site actually needs:
Operators sized honestly
Residential through continuous-duty commercial, matched to the gate's weight, length, and daily cycle count. An apartment entrance and a ranch driveway need very different electric gate openers, and we spec accordingly.
Battery backup and solar
Gates that keep working through outages, and solar-powered gate openers for entrances far from power where no electric outlet is nearby.
Access control systems
Telephone entry, intercom systems, card readers, keypad entry, and smartphone apps with entry logs and guest codes.
Traffic management
Free-exit loops, loop vehicle detectors, and barrier arms for lots and garages where controlled vehicle access matters.
UL 325 safety on every job
Photo-eyes, safety edges, and safety sensors installed, configured, and tested to be functioning properly before we leave.
Gate Services in Arlington
The full lineup that keeps Arlington gates reliable year after year:
Preventive maintenance plans
Scheduled service covering operators, hinges, rollers, chains, safety devices, and access control — for single driveways, apartment communities, and multi-property portfolios, with documented service records.
Gate replacement
Honest assessments of aging or damaged gates, reusing sound posts and equipment where it makes sense.
Access control upgrades
Older keypad-only systems modernized with video intercoms, app access, and entry logging.
Safety compliance updates
Older automated gates brought up to current UL 325 entrapment protection standards — especially important for apartment and commercial properties with liability exposure.
Property management support
One point of contact for gates across a portfolio, with priority response when an entrance goes down.
North Texas weather swings put extra strain on both manual and automatic gate systems, so every visit includes a condition check of the gate — and the nearby fencing that can throw off alignment.
Serving Arlington and Surrounding Communities
We serve all of Arlington — north to south, entertainment district to the neighborhoods — plus the surrounding communities of Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Kennedale, Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, and the greater Fort Worth area.

Arlington Gate FAQs
How much does gate repair cost in Arlington?
It depends on the cause. Sensor, remote, and hinge repairs sit at the affordable end; operator replacement and structural welding cost more. We diagnose on site and quote in writing — including parts-and-labor warranty coverage — before any work begins.
How much does gate installation cost in Arlington?
Pricing depends on the gate type, size, operator class, access control, and materials. A residential swing gate with a keypad costs far less than a high-cycle apartment entrance with telephone entry. A free on-site estimate provides exact numbers.
Do you repair apartment community gates?
Yes — multifamily entrances are one of our specialties: high-cycle operators, telephone entry systems, loop repair, and impact damage, with maintenance plans and priority response for property managers.
Why does our gate open but refuse to close?
Nine times out of ten it's a safety device doing its job too well: a blocked or misaligned photo-eye, a faulty edge, or a loop stuck in detect. Sensors can also fail because of dirt, debris, or misalignment, and the fix is usually fast once diagnosed.
Our gate died after a thunderstorm. Fixable?
Very likely. Surges most often take out the control board, which is replaceable, and we can add surge protection to reduce repeat failures. We also check the wiring and inspect the control board to pinpoint the fault before replacing parts.
Do you offer emergency gate repair 24/7 in Arlington?
Yes — we provide 24/7 emergency gate repair in Arlington for urgent breakdowns that affect access or security.
Can a remote or keypad stop working even if the gate operator still has power?
Yes. A dead transmitter battery is common, but a programming error can also cause communication issues between the remote, keypad, and gate system.
Can you automate the manual gate we already have?
Usually, yes, if the gate and posts are sound. We add the operator, safety devices, and access control to your existing gate. Powered systems require different expertise than manual gates, so experienced technicians handle the conversion.
Do you offer gate maintenance contracts?
Yes — for homeowners, HOAs, apartment communities, and commercial portfolios, with scheduled service and documented records.
