Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in automatic gate repair, specializing in the hinge, post, leaf and track work on a powered gate. We offer hinge replacement and post resetting for swing gates, plus roller and track repair for slide gates.
Our team provides leaf straightening, catcher and stop fitting, and a full travel test, delivering a gate that moves freely for homes and dependable access for both residential and commercial projects. Every automatic gate repair job is warrantied for 3 years of workmanship on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, earned over 1,412 projects in 11 years that ran from a 4 ft walk gate to a 200 ft perimeter run.
From checking the hinge play and post lean to the final travel test, our team handles the job from start to finish. Serving Georgetown and neighboring Round Rock, Leander, Serenada and Cedar Park, we fix what is binding the gate before anyone blames the motor.

What you can hold us to
Delphine, near the Old Town Overlay, Georgetown
A concrete driveway on soil that moved with the seasons, where the last gate post had leaned
Isidro, off Bagdad Road, Leander
A new build whose builder gate was a thin pipe frame that sagged in the first year

Delphine's concrete drive near the Old Town Overlay in Georgetown sat on moving soil and the last post had leaned, so on her 14 ft double leaf we put in deeper post footings plus ball-bearing hinges with battery backup; the job was an estimated $4,600 to $6,400 and took an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Isidro in Leander, off Bagdad Road, had a thin pipe builder gate that sagged within a year, so we replaced it with two heavier leaves on ball-bearing hinges with dual operators and edge sensors, an estimated $5,200 to $7,400 in an estimated 2 to 3 days on a 16 ft double leaf.
An automatic gate is a steel gate with a motor, and most repair calls trace to the steel, not the motor. The table sorts the common faults by what we find across Georgetown, Serenada and Lost Creek.
| What you see | Likely cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Leaf drags or scrapes the ground | Worn hinge or leaning post | Replace the hinge, reset the post |
| Gate sags at the latch end | Weak frame or loose hardware | Brace or rebuild the leaf |
| Slide gate jumps or binds | Dirty track or worn rollers | Clean and level the track, swap rollers |
| Gate overshoots or bounces back | Missing catcher or stop | Fit gate catchers and travel stops |
Owners in Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills often call about a noisy gate that only needs a new hinge, so we test the hand swing before any wiring.
A thin leaf that has sagged twice in Leander or Round Rock is a gate to replace, not repair, and a frame that has bent at the welds will keep returning to the same fault. Safety matters here too. Under DASMA's guidance, most installations of an automatic gate need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction, and a dragging leaf can hide a failed sensor. We check both before we hand the gate back. Texas 811 asks for notice before any post is reset, and Blackland clay east of I-35 can move a post again if the footing is shallow. Confirm current rules with the city before you commit, whether you are in Cedar Park or Steiner Ranch.
The repair runs in this order:
Posts in Volente and Sunset Valley are reset 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot, because a shallow footing is what brings the lean back.
Hinge, post and track work is quoted after an inspection, since no two faults match. For scale, a full operator retrofit is estimated at $1,800 to $3,800 for each system, and the repair projects above landed in the ranges shown.

Every figure here is an estimate for Georgetown and is subject to change. Your written quote after the inspection sets the final price and repair schedule, based on the failed part, the leaf weight and the parts on hand.
If the motor is the problem, our gate opener repair page covers it, and electric gate repair covers power and sensors. A leaf past saving is covered under gate replacement, and a new steel leaf under steel gate installation. Our automatic driveway gates page covers a full new system.
After 11 years and 1,412 projects across a 45-mile radius, we have found that most callbacks on other crews' repairs trace to a post that was never reset. So we fix the footing first, and our workmanship warranty runs 3 years on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
We repair gates across a 45-mile radius of the Georgetown shop, including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander and Serenada. The rest of our towns are on the service area page.
It depends on the failed part, and your written quote after the inspection sets the final price.
Delphine's Georgetown post and hinge job took an estimated 2 to 3 days, and smaller track work is often a visit of an estimated 1 to 3 hours.
Yes if the frame is sound, and if it has sagged twice, as Isidro's builder gate did in Leander, we price a heavier leaf instead.
It is usually a worn hinge or a leaning post, and across our 45-mile radius from Georgetown to Lost Creek that is the first thing we check.
Yes, every operator has a manual release, and in Rollingwood or Sunset Valley we test the hand swing before we touch the wiring.
Often the gate falls under city fence rules in Georgetown or Cedar Park, so we check your address first.
Call us for a free estimate on your Georgetown gate, and we will inspect it, test the swing and send a written quote. We have done this for 1,412 projects over 11 years.
Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
