This page is for Duncanville homeowners whose FAAC gate operator works fine but whose gate itself is failing: broken hinges, rotted posts, cracked rails, worn rollers, or a latch that no longer catches. We service the full FAAC lineup you’re likely to find on a Duncanville driveway and we’re trained on the parts and welds that keep those gates hanging true.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds a sound operator. The failures we see most often in Duncanville are not in the motor but in the iron and steel around it. Here’s what we find:

• Hinge failure on FAAC 400 and 422 swing gates. FAAC swing operators push and pull against hinges that carry the gate’s entire weight. On the 400-series, the lower hinge takes the brunt of that load. Once the hinge pin wears even slightly, the gate drops, the operator strains, and the leaf starts scraping the drive. We replace worn hinges with grade-8 hardware and weld in reinforced hinge plates where the post has wallowed out, then re-hang the gate so the FAAC operator is not fighting gravity.
• Cracked rails on FAAC 844 and 760 slide gates. The 844 is a common slide operator in Duncanville and the rail under a 16-foot gate takes a beating. A small crack becomes a rough spot, the rollers catch, and the operator’s torque limiter trips. We weld the crack, grind it smooth, and replace the rollers if they’ve flat-spotted. A weld repair done right costs less than a new rail and keeps a two-decade-old gate running.
• Post rot at the base of FAAC swing gates. This is a Duncanville climate reality. Red clay holds water against the post, and a steel post that’s been in the ground since the 1990s rusts from the inside out at the soil line. The FAAC operator still works, but the post sways and the gate climbs the hinge. We cut out the rotted section, weld in a new post stub with a full-penetration weld, gusset it, and re-set the hinge mounts. The gate operates true again, and the FAAC motor stops laboring.
• Latch and lock misalignment on FAAC gate systems with maglocks. When a swing gate sags even half an inch, the maglock on an FAAC setup stops aligning. The gate closes, but the lock won’t engage, or it buzzes and releases. The fix is usually not the lock but the gate geometry: we straighten the frame, re-weld the latch brackets, and then the maglock seats cleanly.
• Worn gate rollers on FAAC slide installations. Nylon rollers wear down, then the steel hub rides the track and shaves a groove into the rail. You’ll hear a grinding with every open and close cycle. We replace the rollers with sealed-bearing steel units sized for the gate weight, then inspect the rail for cracks that formed while it was dragging. If the rail is cracked, we weld it in place before mounting the new rollers.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s how a typical FAAC parts and welding job goes from your first call to our last check:

1. 1
   You call (903) 532-2236. A live person answers. You describe the symptom, and we ask the questions that matter: how old is the gate, does the operator still turn, which way does it sag or bind.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. Victor Salinas or one of our senior techs comes out, inspects the hinge pins, checks the post bases for rust, runs the gate through a full cycle, and looks at the FAAC operator’s force settings to see how hard it’s working.
3. 3
   We give you a written price. You’ll know the cost before any work starts. We lay out OEM FAAC parts versus quality aftermarket options, and we tell you which we’d put on our own gate.
4. 4
   We do the work. Welding, part replacement, re-hanging the leaf, re-aligning the lock. Most FAAC parts and welding repairs are completed the same visit.
5. 5
   We test under load. We run the gate through multiple cycles, adjust the FAAC limit settings if needed, and make sure the operator is moving the gate without strain.
6. 6
   We clean up and back it in writing. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we come back. No paperwork, no argument.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Duncanville

Honest numbers, since you asked. A hinge replacement on a single FAAC swing leaf typically runs $180 to $340 depending on post condition. Welding a cracked rail or post costs $150 to $400, driven by how much steel has to come out and how much weld has to go back in. Replacing worn rollers on a slide gate runs $120 to $260 per set. A full latch and maglock re-alignment with weld work lands between $250 and $600.

What moves the price: post condition, gate weight, and whether we can save the existing hardware or need to cut it all out. You’ll know the exact number before we start. Call (903) 532-2236 for a free estimate, and remember we offer $50 off any repair over $250.
