Why Ironworks Gate Co. of Houston Is Four Corners’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’ve been serving the Houston metro since 1984, and Four Corners has been on our route for decades. The dense suburban buildout here, heavy with HOA-governed communities and original wrought-iron gates now pushing 25-35 years old, means we’ve replaced more corroded hinges and re-plumbed more tilted posts in 77083 than in almost any other zip we cover.
Our customers in Four Corners call us back because we show up when we say we will, we explain the work before we do it, and we put every repair in writing under our 90-Day Done Right Promise. No paperwork to file. No arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.
Most Four Corners calls reach us within three rings, day or night, because a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail trees. No callback queues. When a gate won’t close at 10 PM and your HOA security patrol is circling, that matters.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work by our K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th gate job in Four Corners gets the same care as the first.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Four Corners
Post Replacement & Re-Plumbing
This is the work we do most often in Four Corners, and it’s not because other companies do it wrong. It’s because the Beaumont clay beneath your driveway heaves in winter wet and cracks in summer drought, tilting even properly-set posts out of plumb within a season or two. A post that was level in March can be leaning by September. We don’t just reset posts; we engineer for the soil. Our re-plumbing includes deep concrete collars and, where needed, upgraded operator mounts with higher torque curves to absorb future movement. A typical post replacement or re-plumbing in Four Corners runs $380-$650.
Custom Welding
When a hollow steel gate frame rusts through from the inside, or a wrought-iron rail cracks at the weld after years of summer heat expansion, replacement isn’t always practical. Our mobile welding rigs let us repair in place, saving the cost and lead time of a full gate rebuild. We weld both galvanized steel and wrought iron, and we match existing profiles so the repair disappears into the original design. Custom welding repairs in Four Corners typically start around $220 and run to $480 for extensive frame restoration.
Latch & Lock Repair
Security matters in Four Corners’s dense subdivisions, where a gate that won’t latch is a gate that won’t protect. We replace mechanical latches, install electric strikes, and integrate magnetic locks with your existing access control. For townhome courts with tight clearances, we spec compact, high-security hardware that doesn’t snag vehicles or pedestrians. Latch and lock work generally runs $140-$320.
Hinge Replacement
After 20-35 years of Gulf Coast humidity and clay-soil movement, the original hinges on Four Corners gates are often the weakest link. We stock heavy-duty ball-bearing and greaseable hinge sets sized for the weight of your specific gate, not generic hardware-store replacements. Hinge replacement in Four Corners is usually $180-$340 for a standard residential swing gate.
Rail Repair & Gate Rollers
Bent or rusted rails and seized rollers turn a smooth slide gate into a grinding, motor-straining liability. We straighten or replace rails, install new V-groove or cantilever roller assemblies, and align the entire track system to reduce operator strain. Rail and roller work in Four Corners runs $240-$520.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Four Corners Homes
- Clay heave tilts posts out of plumb within a single wet season. The Beaumont clay under Four Corners expands with moisture and contracts in drought, pushing properly-set gate posts sideways and throwing hinge alignment off faster than mechanical wear ever could. Re-plumbing posts after soil shift is routine work here.
- Hollow steel frames rust through from trapped humidity and Gulf rain. The year-round humidity and tropical moisture events that roll through Fort Bend and Harris Counties accelerate corrosion from the inside out, especially on gates installed during the 1990s and 2000s buildout.
- Operator control boards short from water intrusion. Outdoor operator boxes in Four Corners take a beating from driving rain and occasional storm surge. Corroded boards and shorted receivers are common after heavy weather, and we stock replacements for same-day swap.
- Summer heat expands metal and loosens welds over years. Dark wrought-iron gates in Four Corners can exceed 150°F surface temperature in July and August. That thermal cycling slowly fatigues weld joints, especially at hinge and rail connections.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Four Corners
Yes, the Beaumont clay beneath Four Corners heaves with seasonal moisture and contracts in drought, which will tilt posts and stress hinges over time. We account for this by setting deeper concrete collars and, on automated gates, selecting operators with higher torque tolerance for misalignment. In the Thornwood subdivision off Beechnut Street, we replaced a corroded control board on a LiftMaster slide gate operator after clay heave from spring rains pushed the post three-quarters of an inch out of true, shorting the limit switch. We re-plumbed the post with a deep concrete collar and upgraded the operator to a FAAC 740 with a higher torque curve to handle future soil shifts. Call (888) 799-8389 for a free estimate on post engineering that lasts.
Replace the battery every 12-18 months, or immediately if response range drops or the LED dims. In Four Corners’s dense townhome courts, weak batteries cause drivers to block narrow lanes while they fumble with manual override. We stock replacement remotes and batteries for LiftMaster, Linear, and DoorKing systems on every truck. Call (888) 799-8389 and we’ll swap it while you wait.
We weld both. Galvanized steel requires special prep and filler rod to avoid zinc contamination and ensure a strong bond, and our rigs carry the right equipment for both materials. Most Four Corners gates from the 1990s-2000s buildout are galvanized tubular steel or wrought iron, and we match repair profiles to the original. Call (888) 799-8389 for a free look at your gate.
Yes, we stock replacement DoorKing logic boards and can swap them same-day in Four Corners. Water intrusion into outdoor operator boxes is common after tropical moisture events and Gulf storms tracking through Fort Bend and Harris Counties, and we see more shorted control boards in 77083 than in drier inland markets. We’ll diagnose the board, replace it, and seal the enclosure against future intrusion. Call (888) 799-8389 for emergency service.
Recurring hinge cracks in Four Corners usually mean the post is tilting from clay heave, not the hinge itself failing. Until the post is re-plumbed and stabilized, new hinges will crack again within a season because the gate is pulling at an angle it was never designed for. We check post plumb on every hinge call in 77083, and we’ll show you the measurement before we quote. Call (888) 799-8389 for a diagnosis that fixes the root cause.
