AfterGate Company in Krum, TX
Krum sits on clay-heavy soil that shifts through dry summers and wet springs, and that movement works its way into gate posts, hinges, and operator alignment. Most properties here run on larger lots just outside the old town grid, which means longer gate spans, heavier leaves, and motors that work harder than they would on a tight suburban driveway. If your gate drags, binds, or stops mid-cycle, call us at (469) 530-2485. A Krum gate should open level and close solid, and we quote the repair in writing before anything is touched.
Why Krum Homes Are Different
Krum’s gate work is shaped by two things: soil and distance. The expansive clay under much of Denton County expands when it rains and contracts when it doesn’t. A steel post set in that soil can drift a half inch in a single season, and a swinging gate that once latched cleanly starts dragging on the strike post or throwing the limit switch out of sync. We shim, reset, and re-align posts on almost every Krum call because the ground here doesn’t sit still.
The other factor is lot size. Many Krum properties, especially off FM 156 and around the newer subdivisions east of town, have driveway gates set well back from the house with long power runs from the panel to the operator. That distance means voltage drop, and voltage drop makes a motor strain, overheat, and fail early. We check wire gauge and connections as part of the repair, not as an add-on, because a gate that isn’t getting clean power will be back in trouble within months.
Our Main Krum Services
Most of what Krum homeowners call us for falls into two categories: a gate that won’t open or close the way it should, and a motor that has stopped responding entirely. Each gets its own Krum page so you can see the process, the parts, and the pricing before you pick up the phone.
Gate Repair in Krum
Weld breaks, sagging leaves, hinge wear, and post drift are the regulars here. When a steel gate starts dragging or a cantilever gate jumps its track, we inspect the full load path before quoting, because fixing just the visible symptom on moving clay means the real problem comes back. Every repair includes a written price and a full-year written guarantee. You can reach the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Krum page.
Gate Installation in Krum
A gate designed for Krum’s soil and span has to be sized for both. We measure the opening, the post depth, the gate weight, and the operator duty cycle before any material gets ordered, then quote the entire job in writing. Farm-style gates, driveway gates, and replacement leaves are all sized to the property, not pulled off a rack. See what a Krum installation involves on our Gate Installation in Krum page.
Gate Motor Repair in Krum
Motors on Krum properties fail in two ways: component failure inside the operator, or power problems outside it. Limit switches, capacitor packs, and control boards account for most internal failures, and the brands we service include FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. Long power runs off FM 156 and the surrounding county roads mean we also test the feed before blaming the motor. The full picture is on our Gate Motor Repair in Krum page.

Most repair work on an existing gate requires no permit in Krum. New installations with concrete post footings may need city approval depending on the location and setback. We can tell you what applies to your property before any quote is final, and the written price reflects what the job actually needs.
Once we see the gate and understand the failure, you get a written price before any work starts. That number includes labor, parts, and the full-year guarantee. It does not change at the door, and there is no dispatch fee to find out what the repair will cost.
