FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Nationwide

FAAC Gate Parts & Welding in McKinney: What to Know First

FAAC gate parts and welding in McKinney are handled by our shop as an independent FAAC service provider, and most hinge, post, rail, and roller repairs are completed in a single visit. We carry common FAAC wear items on the truck and can fabricate brackets, mounts, and reinforcement plates in our welding shop when a stock part won’t do the job. Pricing is settled before we start, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

Call (430) 226-4507

If you own a FAAC swing or slide gate and the metal is tired, the hinges have sagged, or a weld has let go, this page covers what we see in McKinney and how we repair it. Call (430) 226-4507 and a live person answers, day or night.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Swing gate hinge sag on FAAC 400 and C720 operators. These are workhorse hydraulic operators, but they push a lot of weight through a single hinge post. Over time the post leans or the hinge barrel wears oval. We remove the leaf, re-set the post with new concrete if needed, weld on a fresh hinge, and re-hang the gate so the operator isn’t fighting geometry. A gate that hangs square is a gate that doesn’t eat operators.
• Slide gate rail wear on FAAC 844 and S450H installations. McKinney soil shifts with the seasons, and a V-track rail that looked level at install can develop a low spot. The gate then rides on one roller, wears flat spots into the wheels, and starts growling. We grind and re-weld the rail joints, shim to true, and replace the rollers. On badly worn rail, we weld in a new section rather than patching.
• Broken mounting tabs and base plates. FAAC operators are bolted to a steel plate welded or anchored to the gate or a pad. We regularly see plates that cracked at the weld from years of vibration. Rather than replacing the operator, we cut out the cracked plate, fabricate a heavier one in the shop, weld it, and re-mount the operator. The operator is usually fine. The plate wasn’t.
• Gate leaf cracks at mid-rail and stile joints on ornamental steel gates. This is not a FAAC defect but a metal fatigue issue we see on older McKinney gates: the pickets are fine, but the top rail develops a hairline crack right where it meets the style. Left alone, the crack walks and the leaf starts to twist. We grind the crack out, weld it properly, and add a gusset where the design allows. The fix outlasts the gate.
• Latch and lock misalignment after any hinge or rail work. When metal moves, the latch doesn’t. On FAAC-equipped gates with a magnetic lock or solenoid release, even a quarter inch of sag keeps the lock from engaging. After every weld or hinge job, we re-align the latch, check the strike clearance, and confirm the FAAC control board sees the gate as secure before we leave.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   You call (430) 226-4507. A live person answers, asks what the gate is doing, and schedules a visit. We don’t route you through a call center.
2. 2
   We inspect the gate and the operator together. Victor Salinas grew up off Eldorado Parkway, and we treat a FAAC job as one system: the steel, the hinges, the rollers, and the operator. We don’t weld a hinge without checking why it failed.
3. 3
   We settle the parts decision with you. If an OEM FAAC part is the right call for warranty-safe repair, we use it. If a quality aftermarket roller or bracket does the same job for less, we tell you and let you choose. No mystery parts on the invoice.
4. 4
   We weld and repair. Grinding, fixture, weld, clean, and paint where needed. If a post must be re-set, we dig and pour the same day whenever possible.
5. 5
   We test under load. The gate cycles open, closed, mid-stop, and hits the limits. We check the safety edges and photo eyes if the FAAC system has them.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in McKinney

Most FAAC gate parts and welding jobs in McKinney land between $285 and $1,400, depending on how much metal has to move. Here’s how common scenarios break down:

• Single swing hinge replacement with weld and re-hang: $285-$520
• Gate roller replacement (pair) with rail alignment: $260-$480
• Post re-set with new concrete and hinge weld: $600-$1,100
• Weld repair of cracked rail or stile with gusset: $300-$650
• Custom bracket or mounting plate fabrication and install: $350-$850

What moves the price is whether we’re re-setting a post or just welding in place, the gate’s weight and steel thickness, and whether the FAAC operator has to come off to do the job right. You’ll get an exact number before we start. Estimates are free. Call (430) 226-4507 and we’ll put a price on it.

Why McKinney Homeowners Call Ironworks Gate Co. for FAAC Work

We’ve been doing gate work in this part of Texas since 1984, and we plan to be here another forty years. A McKinney homeowner with a FAAC gate isn’t looking for the cheapest fix. They want the hinges true, the welds strong, and the operator still working a decade from now. That’s the job we do.

Every FAAC repair carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. Our technicians are trained on nine gate automation brands, so if the problem turns out to be the operator rather than the steel, we fix it on the same visit rather than punting. And if you ever decide to change operators down the road, we also service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, so you’ll never have to explain your gate to a stranger.

As Victor puts it: “If it moves when it should not or stops when it should, we will find out why.”
