How Does Gate Fabrication & Installation Work in Arlington, TX?

The process starts with a consultation to assess your property layout, security requirements, and design preferences. Measurements are taken on-site to ensure your gate fits the opening perfectly and operates smoothly. Based on your goals, the team recommends wrought iron for classic elegance, steel for strength and security, or aluminum for lightweight durability and low maintenance.

Fabrication includes welding, shaping, and finishing each component to create a gate that balances beauty and function. Shen Co Metal Works offers decorative and modern gate designs, so whether you prefer ornate details or clean contemporary lines, your vision guides the build. The weight of a solid steel gate swinging open on well-fitted hinges is a tactile reminder of quality craftsmanship.

Installation involves setting posts, mounting hinges or tracks, aligning the gate for smooth operation, and optionally integrating automated openers with remotes or keypads. Repairs and realignment services address sagging, misalignment, or worn hardware to restore full function.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Understanding the full scope of gate installation helps you avoid surprises with post depth, automation costs, or finish options, especially when working within HOA guidelines or tight driveway layouts in Arlington.

What's the difference between manual and automated gates?
Manual gates use traditional hinges and latches you operate by hand. Automated gates include motors, remotes, and sensors for hands-free entry, ideal for heavy gates or high-traffic driveways.
How deep do gate posts need to be installed?
Posts are typically set three feet deep in concrete to prevent leaning or sagging. In Arlington's clay-heavy soil, proper drainage around the post base is critical to avoid shifting.
Can you match my existing fence design?
Yes, we replicate patterns, picket spacing, and finishes to ensure your new gate blends seamlessly with your current fencing. We can also upgrade the style if you're planning a full property refresh.
What materials resist rust the best?
Powder-coated steel and aluminum both offer excellent rust resistance. Wrought iron requires regular maintenance but delivers a classic look that many Arlington homeowners prefer for curb appeal.
Do you repair gates that won't close properly?
Absolutely. We realign hinges, replace worn hardware, weld cracked frames, and adjust latches to restore smooth operation. Many older gates just need minor adjustments and lubrication to work like new.

Your driveway gate is the first thing visitors see and the last line of defense for your property, so it needs to function flawlessly and look good doing it. Whether you're installing a brand-new automated gate or repairing one that's dragging on the pavement, you'll get work that lasts.
