Gate Operator Sales, Repair & Service — Apollo, LiftMaster, US Automatic, Platinum

Factory-trained installation, repairs, maintenance and troubleshooting for the industry’s leading gate operator brands.

A gate operator lives outdoors, works in Texas heat, and gets used dozens of times a day — when it fails, your whole property feels it. Red’s Mobile Welding sells, installs, repairs and maintains gate operators across Fort Worth, Azle and surrounding areas, with same-day service available for gates stuck open or closed.

We’re experienced across the four brands that dominate Texas entrances — Apollo, US Automatic, LiftMaster and Platinum — plus most legacy systems. Whether you need a new operator, a control board swap, or just a gate that stopped listening to its remote, one call handles it.

The Brands We Sell & Service

Apollo and US Automatic build the solar-friendly DC operators that rule Texas ranch entrances; LiftMaster’s commercial line is the standard for HOAs and business gates; Platinum covers heavy-duty residential and commercial swing and slide applications. We stock common boards, batteries and accessories for all four.

Brand loyalty aside, the right operator is the one sized for your gate’s weight, length, duty cycle and available power. We’ll give you a straight recommendation — and we service whatever you already own.

Why Gate Operators Fail (And How We Prevent It)

Nine times out of ten, an operator failure traces to one of four things: a dying battery, ant-infested or water-damaged boards, a gate that’s grown too heavy for its hinges, or lightning. Our maintenance visits check all of them — battery load test, board inspection, hinge and balance check, surge protection review.

A $150 service visit twice a year is dramatically cheaper than a $900 emergency board replacement in July. Ask about our maintenance plans for homes, ranches and HOAs.

Frequently Asked Questions

My gate opener stopped working — what should I check first?
Check the basics in this order: power (breaker, transformer, solar charge), the battery (most DC operators go dumb below ~11 volts), remotes (fresh battery), and photo eyes (alignment, spider webs, sun glare). If it still won't move, call us — phone diagnosis is free at (817) 901-1996.
Do you repair LiftMaster gate operators?
Yes — LiftMaster residential and commercial operators are one of our core service lines: boards, motors, gearboxes, limit switches, MyQ connectivity and safety devices. We also service Apollo, US Automatic, Platinum and most other brands.
How much does gate operator repair cost?
Service calls in our area typically run $95–$150 plus parts. Common repairs: batteries $40–$80, photo eyes $75–$150, control boards $250–$600 installed. Replacing an aging operator entirely runs $1,200–$3,500 installed depending on class.
How often should a gate operator be serviced?
Twice a year is ideal in Texas — once before summer heat, once before winter. Service includes battery testing, board inspection, lubrication, force and limit adjustment, and safety device testing.
Should I choose a solar gate operator?
If your entrance is more than about 100 feet from power, solar is almost always cheaper than trenching wire. Apollo and US Automatic DC operators paired with a properly sized panel and battery run reliably year-round in Texas sun.
