This page is for Allen homeowners with a FAAC swing or slide gate that no longer closes square - the hinge, the post, the rail, the roller, or the latch has failed and you want it fixed correctly. We are an independent FAAC service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer, which means our loyalty is to the homeowner and the gate, not a brand quota. Victor Salinas owns Ironworks Gate Co., and the standard on every FAAC job is the same one he learned at Collin College: metal either holds or it doesn’t. We make sure yours does.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds solid automation, but the gate it drives is only as strong as the hardware holding it. Here is what we see on FAAC-equipped gates across Allen:

• Hinge bearing wear on FAAC 400 and 750-series swing gates. The gate leaf is heavy, and over years of Texas heat cycles the bronze bushing inside the hinge pin wears egg-shaped. The gate starts scraping the driveway at the latch edge. We cut the old hinge off, weld in a fresh DOM-tube hinge assembly, and re-align the leaf so the FAAC operator isn’t fighting a sag it was never designed to overcome.
• Post lean that kills limit settings. Allen soil shifts with drought and rain, and a post set without proper concrete depth begins to lean. On FAAC 400-series operators with magnetic limit switches, a leaning post changes the arc of the gate just enough that the limits read wrong and the gate slams at the end of travel. We excavate, re-set the post with deeper concrete, and weld a steel support plate where the hinge welds to the post.
• Rail and roller failure on FAAC 750 and 844-slide gates. Allen’s clay soil holds moisture, and steel rollers on a poorly drained track will corrode and flat-spot. The gate starts shuttering as it moves. We replace the rollers with sealed-bearing units and repair or replace the rail section, welding rather than bolting where the manufacturer’s design allows for it.
• Ghost-opening from latch strike misalignment. We frequently see FAAC swing gates where the leaf has settled only a quarter-inch, but the latch no longer catches the strike cleanly. The gate bounces off the latch and the FAAC operator reverses it, so the homeowner thinks the opener is failing. The fix is re-welding the latch strike in proper alignment - not replacing the board. That is a diagnosis a lot of general repair outfits miss because they never look at the mechanical side before swapping electronics.
• Weld fatigue at the operator mounting plate. On older FAAC swing installations, the operator bracket was bolted to a plate welded on the gate frame. After a decade of repeated torque, the welds at the plate start to crack. The fix is grinding out the old welds, re-welding the plate with proper penetration, and repainting the area so the repair disappears. This is one we catch on tune-ups before it splits completely.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. When you call (936) 274-8988, a live person answers. We ask what the gate is doing, what the FAAC opener model is, and when the problem started - then schedule a visit.
2. 2
   On-site inspection. Our technician looks at the mechanical hardware first, then the operator. We measure the gate’s swing arc, check hinge wear, post plumb, rail level, and latch engagement before opening the FAAC control panel.
3. 3
   Written price, agreed up front. We give you the repair price before any work begins. If the repair isn’t needed, we tell you so and leave you the price of a tune-up, nothing more.
4. 4
   The repair. We cut, weld, grind, and replace exactly what failed. Where the manufacturer allows, we use quality aftermarket parts that match or exceed OEM specification; where it matters for the operator’s lifecycle, we use FAAC factory parts.
5. 5
   Test and teach. We run the gate through fifteen to twenty full cycles, verify limit settings, and check the force settings. If we notice something else wearing, we photograph it and show you.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the written Promise. The area is left cleaner than we found it, and every FAAC parts or welding job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no forms, no argument.

Why Allen Homeowners Call Ironworks Gate Co. for FAAC Work

We have been doing gate work in Allen for over 40 years, and the job we do on FAAC hardware is the same job we would do on our own gate. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, and every one of them is trained on nine gate-automation brands, so if we find that the problem is not the weld but a failing LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, or DoorKing board, we fix it on the same visit.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written, not implied. If the weld does not hold or the latch does not catch, we come back and make it right without a conversation about whose fault it is. Most jobs finish in one visit, and the price is agreed before any work starts. Victor Salinas has been running jobs this way since before Watters Creek was anything but open Texas land, and he is not changing now. Call (936) 274-8988 - you will speak to a person, not a phone tree.
