Call (903) 532-2236

This page is for Duncanville homeowners whose Ghost Controls gate has started sagging, sticking, or refusing to close square. If the opener still runs but the gate itself is the problem, you’re in the right place. Call (903) 532-2236 and tell us what the gate is doing, or not doing, and we’ll go from there.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

• Sagging gate leaf on Ghost Controls TSS1 and TDS2 systems. The opener is rarely the culprit. What we find is a worn hinge pin or a hinge post that has started to lean after years of Dallas County clay shifting. The fix is a weld repair or a post reset, then re-balancing the gate so the opener isn’t fighting dead weight. We see this most often on the east side of Duncanville where soil movement is heavier.
• Gate roller wheels wearing flat on sliding Ghost Controls kits. The factory rollers on older GTR series units are lightweight. After five or six years they develop flat spots, which makes the gate lurch and eventually trips the opener’s obstruction sensor. We replace them with heavier sealed-bearing rollers and weld in new roller brackets when the originals have wallowed out.
• Broken weld at the opener mounting bracket. Ghost Controls arms bolt to a welded bracket on the gate frame, and that bracket takes every push and pull. When the weld cracks, the arm shifts and the gate starts binding. We cut out the old bracket, weld in a reinforced plate, and remount the arm so the geometry is square.
• Stripped or bent gate latch on RVS series swing gates. The latch is the part homeowners yank on every day. On Ghost Controls systems the latch bolt often gets bent when the gate sags even half an inch, because the bolt no longer lines up with the strike. Replacing the latch is simple; the real fix is correcting the sag first so the new latch lines up true.
• Post rot or concrete failure at the hinge post. Even steel posts set in concrete eventually suffer from water intrusion at the base. We cut the post free, weld in a new section or replace the post entirely, and re-set it in properly crowned concrete so water drains away from the steel.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   You call (903) 532-2236. A live person answers, day or night. You describe the problem in your own words. We schedule a visit.
2. 2
   We inspect the gate and the opener. We check hinge wear, post plumb, roller condition, and the welds at every stress point. We also run the opener through a full cycle to make sure the motor isn’t being asked to do the gate’s job.
3. 3
   We give you a written price. You know exactly what the parts cost and what the labor costs before we start. No surprises on the bill, ever.
4. 4
   We make the repair. Whether it’s cutting out a cracked weld, pressing in new hinge pins, or replacing a roller bracket, we do it clean, and we do it to hold. Most Ghost Controls parts jobs are done in one visit.
5. 5
   We test the full cycle, then test it again. Gate opens, gate closes, gate stops where it should. We check the safety edges and the auto-reverse.
6. 6
   We stand behind it. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.

What Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Duncanville

Every Ghost Controls repair is priced by what we find, not by a menu in a book. That said, here’s what Duncanville homeowners can expect:

• Hinge replacement, single leaf: $120 to $220 depending on hinge size and whether we need to weld new hinge plates.
• Post replacement or reset, steel or wood: $250 to $450 for a typical 4×4 or 3-inch steel post, including concrete work and re-hanging the gate.
• Weld repair at a stress point or bracket: $80 to $180, depending on how much material we need to add and grind back.
• Roller replacement with upgraded sealed bearings: $90 to $150 per roller including bracket work if needed.
• Full gate re-hang and re-balance on a Ghost Controls opener: $200 to $400, which includes adjusting the opener limits and force settings after the gate is square.

What moves the price is the condition of what’s underneath: rust, previous repairs, and how far the post has moved. Estimates are free. Call (903) 532-2236 and we’ll give you a number you can count on before any work starts.

Why Duncanville Homeowners Call Ironworks Gate Co. for Ghost Controls Work

We’ve been working on gates in Duncanville since before a lot of these neighborhoods were fully built out. Victor Salinas grew up off Clark Road, and the gate hardware in this town is something he knows the way you know a neighbor. When a Ghost Controls gate fails, we fix what failed, not what’s convenient to bill for.

Our technicians are trained on Ghost Controls systems as well as LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, and DoorKing. That matters when a homeowner has a Ghost Controls board but a LiftMaster arm, or a Mighty Mule keypad wired into a Ghost Controls loop. We figure it out on the first visit. And every job, parts and welding included, is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise. Done right, and backed in writing.
