Gate Repair · Collin County
McKinney splits sharply. Around the historic square there are older properties with hand-built iron and posts set decades ago; out east and west it is new subdivision with builder-grade slide gates. The two need different parts and different expectations, and knowing which you have before quoting is most of the work.
The gates on the older streets near Historic Downtown McKinney were built, not ordered. Pickets, scrolls and rails were made to fit that opening, so there is no catalogue part that drops in when a rail cracks or a hinge shears — the section gets cut out, remade and blended into the pattern beside it. That takes a fabricator rather than a parts swap, and we say so in the quote. Hail is the other quiet enemy on these: it strips the coating, and bare steel at a joint rusts from the inside where nobody sees it.
Out east and west the picture inverts. These are builder-installed slide gates on a ground track, and they fail mechanically and predictably: a roller wears flat, grit packs the V-track, the leaf starts climbing. Parts are standard and ride on the truck, so caught early it is a short visit. Kept in service after it starts sounding wrong, the frame bends and it becomes a welding job instead. The difference between those two invoices is usually a fortnight of ignoring a new noise.
Two halves of one city, two different trucks’ worth of parts. We handle welding, hinge and post work, slide gates off their track, and new installations. Mentioning the gate’s rough age when you call changes what we load.
