Four Corners Gate Repair
Four Corners is the unincorporated pocket of Fort Bend County where Highway 6, West Airport Boulevard and Old Richmond Road come together, between Sugar Land and the Alief side of Houston. The subdivisions date from the 1980s through the 2000s, and their driveway gates are practical: single swing or short slide gates on modest lots, often on entry-level operators that have run for fifteen years. Along Highway 6, Westpark Tollway and FM 1464, apartment complexes and gated townhome courts run entrance gates hard, and the commercial strips carry small contractor yards with slide gates. Fort Bend County clay moves posts every wet-dry cycle, and vehicle strikes are common. Garage Tec runs stocked trucks, offers same-day appointments seven days a week, and gives you a written price before work begins. Four Corners calls are dispatched by our Houston-area team.
Gate Repair in Four Corners, TX
We handle automatic gate repair in Four Corners and electric gate repair on everything from a tired Mighty Mule swing operator off Old Richmond Road to a high-cycle DoorKing slide gate at a Highway 6 apartment entrance. Because automatic gates add convenience and security for homes and businesses, repairs are best handled by specialized local contractors and experienced technicians, not general handymen. We repair complete gate systems, not just the motor, and most repairs are finished on the first visit, including work to fix broken openers and snapped springs.
Gate opener repair
LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking, Eagle, All-O-Matic, Nice/Apollo, HySecurity, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls and more. Motors, gearboxes, clutches, control boards, limits and wiring.
Gates stuck open or closed
Priority response; one is a security hole, the other has people backed up at their own entrance.
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. Our expert diagnostics also check sensor alignment and remote programming when closure problems point to a control issue.
Sliding gate repair
Worn rollers, fouled track, broken chains, gates that grind or derail.
Swing gate repair
Sagging panels, seized hinges and posts heaved by Fort Bend County clay, which lies flat and drains slowly around Four Corners and pushes a post out of plumb after a wet spring.
Apartment and community gate repair
The apartment communities and gated townhome courts along Highway 6, West Airport Boulevard and FM 1464 make up a large share of Four Corners housing, and property managers there get priority response because a stuck entrance gate backs cars onto a busy road within minutes.
Access control, loop and sensor repair
Keypads, telephone entry, video intercoms, card readers, vehicle loops and photo-eyes serviced and reprogrammed.
Storm and surge damage
Lightning-fried control boards replaced, with surge protection available so it doesn't happen twice.
Welding and structural repair
Bent pickets, cracked welds, vehicle strikes and ornamental restoration.
Gate Replacement in Four Corners
When a gate's repair history starts reading like a subscription, replacement is the better money. The usual tells: rust through the frame or post bases, posts that have walked out of plumb, an operator with discontinued parts and no modern safety compliance, or a light-duty gate on an entrance that now sees real traffic. In those cases, a new gate is often the better value when older hardware or gate motors are no longer worth repeated repairs, and it can improve curb appeal as much as function.
Gate replacement in Four Corners usually follows a strike or a rusted-through bottom rail on a 1990s gate. We replace the panel with a matching or upgraded frame; steel gates often need stronger motors and sturdier structural posts, so we size the system to the gate instead of forcing light-duty parts to do heavy work. We reuse sound posts and operators, and update the safety loops and photo eyes to current standards, because safety loops are essential for automatic gate operation. We replace what's earned it and keep what hasn't: sound posts, healthy operators and working loops stay, and you get both numbers, repair and replacement, in writing before anything is decided.
Driveway Gate Installation in Four Corners
Driveway gate installation in Four Corners fits the lot sizes here: a single or double swing gate in wrought iron or aluminum that matches the brick fronts of the 1990s and 2000s homes, or a slide gate where the driveway is too short for a swing arc. We can build around a custom design that suits the property, and custom driveway gates can improve both security and curb appeal. A new gate can be built in iron, wood, or other materials, and material selection affects both gate weight and overall project cost. Homeowners usually want a keypad, remotes and smartphone control on a motorized gate. For the apartment and townhome entrances we install heavier slide gates with phone entry and loop detectors sized for constant traffic.
Estate and driveway swing gates
Single and double leaf, steel or aluminum, including an iron gate matched to the home and the existing fence.
Sliding and cantilever gates
The answer for short setbacks, sloped drives and entrances that see truck traffic.
Custom ornamental iron
Scrollwork, laser-cut panels, family names or logos, and matching fence sections built to your design.
Community and apartment entrances
High-cycle operators, telephone entry systems, app-based access and resident credentialing.
Commercial slide, cantilever and barrier-arm systems
Yards, lots and loading areas that need reliable access for residential and commercial properties.
Every installation includes an honestly sized operator, battery backup or solar where needed, UL 325 safety devices installed and tested, and a walkthrough of the access controls before we leave. Access control can include keypads and card readers, and we customize automatic and electric gates for residential and commercial properties. Typical driveway gate installation runs about $2,500 to $5,500, automatic gate installation often falls between $1,925 and $6,085, and high-end systems with automation can exceed $14,000. Have a sound manual gate already? We can automate what you have.
Four Corners Gate Company
As a Four Corners gate company, Garage Tec provides ongoing gate services for residential and commercial properties after installation, with customer satisfaction handled to the highest standards through maintenance visits for community entrances, keypad and phone-entry updates, and garage door service from the same truck, so a homeowner or a property manager makes one call for both.
Automation and access control
Operators sized for the gate's weight, length and cycle count; keypads, entry systems, telephone entry systems, video intercom integration, card and fob readers, and phone-app access. For commercial properties, these setups are often standard, and cloud-based access control can allow remote management through platforms such as CellGate, while LiftMaster systems may include myQ smart access. Viking is often a strong fit for high-cycle commercial entrances, while Nice and Apollo are commonly used for residential and light commercial applications.
Preventive maintenance
Routine maintenance that keeps the gate aligned, the operator lubricated and the safety devices tested. Visits include inspecting moving parts and motors, checking hinges and tracks for wear, and reviewing safety sensors to spot hidden issues before they turn into failures. This helps protect the gate's performance, and quarterly maintenance is recommended for high-cycle gates because regular care can extend the system's life by several years.
Priority response for property managers
One entrance down affects everyone behind it, so managed properties get first call.
Solar and off-grid
For rural drives and locations where running power to the gate is impractical.

Why Four Corners Chooses Garage Tec
- Gates are core work, not a sideline – operators, access control, ironwork and the garage door too, from a single company. Properly installed and serviced, automatic gates improve security for homes and businesses.
- Apartment and townhome entrance gates – Four Corners has a high share of gated multifamily entrances along Highway 6 and Westpark, and we carry the operator boards, arms, loops and phone-entry parts those gates go through.
- Aging entry-level operators – Many driveway gates here run on the same budget operator installed in the 1990s or 2000s, and we know which ones can be repaired and which are better swapped for a current LiftMaster or Nice/Apollo unit. We also help choose the right operator for the site's cycle count instead of simply replacing like for like.
- Honest replace-vs-repair math – both numbers in writing, and the recommendation we'd choose at our own house. If you're comparing options, automation or access control upgrades can add roughly $500 to $3,000 depending on the project.
- Same-day service – stocked trucks make most repairs one-visit jobs, weekends included.
- Upfront pricing – a written quote you approve before any work begins. The service-call fee is applied to the repair when you move forward, and there are no hidden fees.
- Licensed, bonded and insured – every technician, every job.
- Reviews you can verify – 4.9 stars across 770+ Google reviews. Check them before you book for same-day service at a fair price.
Four Corners Gate FAQs
Do you offer same-day gate repair in Four Corners?
Yes, in most cases. Operator parts, photo-eyes, loops, rollers and hinges ride on every truck. A gate stuck open or closed gets priority dispatch. Call early in the day for the best odds of a same-day slot.
My gate opens but won't close. What's wrong?
Almost always a safety device: a blocked or misaligned photo-eye, a faulty edge, or a vehicle loop stuck in detect. The operator is doing what it's designed to do; the sensor needs service.
Why is my gate or fence post leaning?
Texas clay swells and shrinks with the weather and takes posts with it. We re-set and reinforce posts so gates hang true again instead of shimming the hinge every year.
Our Four Corners gate opens fine but the keypad on the Highway 6 side keeps getting hit by mirrors. Can it be moved?
Yes. We relocate the keypad pedestal back from the approach lane and set it at a height that works for cars without putting it in the path of trucks and buses. A gooseneck stand with a small guard post in front stops most mirror strikes.
The gate at our townhome court sticks in summer and works in winter. What is that?
That pattern points to the posts and hinges, not the operator. Fort Bend County clay dries and shrinks in summer, the post shifts and the gate binds on the latch or the drive. We reset the post in a deeper footing and adjust the hinges so the gate stays square year round.
My gate opener died after a thunderstorm. Fixable?
Very likely. Surges most often take out control boards, which are replaceable on nearly every operator. We can add surge protection against a repeat.
How much does gate repair cost in Four Corners?
It depends on the failure. Limit adjustments, remotes, photo-eyes and hinges sit at the affordable end; control boards, motors and structural welding cost more. You get an exact written quote before any work starts.
Do you work on all gate opener brands?
Yes. LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking, Eagle, All-O-Matic, Nice/Apollo, HySecurity, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, US Automatic and more, residential and commercial.
Can you automate my existing manual gate?
Usually, yes, if the gate and posts are structurally sound. Sliding and swing gates are the most common types of automatic gates, and they can include access control systems for added security. We'll walk you through the process, then add the operator and safety devices to what you have. An electric gate can also be customized for residential or commercial use.
Do I need a permit for driveway gate installation in Four Corners?
Sometimes. Permit requirements can vary across county lines around Four Corners, so we can tell you what applies at your property before work starts.
