Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Hollywood
Gate parts and welding repair in Hollywood typically runs $180–$650 depending on the scope, and most jobs are completed same-day or next-day. Frank Delgado and our team have been fixing gates in the 90028 area for over 20 years, from the original wrought-iron driveways south of Hollywood Boulevard to the steep hillside estates above the flats. We carry common parts for major brands and weld on-site, so you’re not waiting for a second contractor. Call (855) 671-2951 for a free estimate.
Why Sierra Gate Repair San Diego Is Hollywood’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’ve earned 375 verified reviews averaging 4.9 stars across our service area, and Hollywood customers specifically mention our ability to match period ironwork and work around tight urban access. Frank Delgado still runs the jobs personally, so when you call for gate parts and welding in Hollywood, you get the founder’s experience, not a trainee sent from a general fence company.
Response time to Hollywood averages same-day or next-day because we stock parts for the nine major brands we service and fabricate metal components in-house. We know the difference between a standard hinge swap on a modern slide gate and the custom scroll-matching a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival property demands. That distinction matters in Hollywood, where the housing stock is older, denser, and more architecturally specific than almost anywhere else in Los Angeles County.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Hollywood
Hinge Replacement
Hollywood’s original wrought-iron gates carry massive weight on hinges that may be original to the 1920s or 1930s installation. We see fatigue cracks at the hinge-to-post joint constantly, especially after Santa Ana wind events funnel through the local canyons. A typical hinge replacement on a standard residential gate in Hollywood runs $180–$320; custom-forged period hinges for Spanish Colonial Revival gates run $340–$580 because we match the original scroll and pintle profile rather than bolting on a modern box hinge that ruins the facade.
Post Replacement
Gate posts in Hollywood take abuse from three directions: salt-laden marine layer corrosion, wind load from ornamental ironwork with high wind resistance, and soil movement on hillside properties. In the 90028 flats, we often replace posts that have rotted at the base or pulled from shallow footings poured decades ago. Post replacement in Hollywood typically costs $280–$520 for standard steel, or $450–$780 when we’re matching decorative caps and fluting on period installations.
Rail Repair
Bent or broken rails are common after vehicles clip gates on narrow Hollywood driveways or after wind throws a gate off track and the rail takes the impact. We straighten or replace rails and reweld connections on-site. Most rail repairs in Hollywood fall between $220–$440. On hillside properties with longer slide gates, rail alignment is critical; even a quarter-inch deflection will cause recurring derailment on a steep grade.
Custom Welding
This is where Hollywood gate work diverges from standard suburban repair. On the residential blocks just south of Hollywood Boulevard, many 1920s wrought-iron driveway gates were custom-forged as architectural details matching the Spanish Colonial Revival homes. Owners of these properties reject off-the-shelf replacement hardware and expect a fabricator who can hand-match scroll and picket profiles. Our Gate Parts & Welding team carries portable welding equipment and has 20 years of pattern-matching experience. Custom welding and fabrication in Hollywood ranges from $260 for simple bracket repair to $650+ for full section reconstruction with period-appropriate detailing.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We work on virtually every major gate brand, including FAAC, BFT, and Viking — no referrals, no guesswork. For Hollywood customers, this means we stock parts locally for faster turnaround rather than ordering from a warehouse and making you wait. We’ve programmed FAAC hydraulic operators on steep Hollywood Hills driveways where standard residential units failed within months, and we’ve replaced Viking slide-gate motors on commercial-grade residential installations in the 90028 flats. Our familiarity with nine major brands means we diagnose fast and repair once.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Santa Ana wind damage to ornamental iron. The canyons around Hollywood funnel wind with particular force, throwing gates off their tracks and shearing welds at the hinge-to-post joint on swing gates. We see this every fall and winter.
- Marine layer rust on vintage wrought iron. The seasonal marine layer deposits salt-laden moisture on older uncoated iron gates common throughout central Hollywood, accelerating rust and joint failure on hardware that may not have been treated since original installation.
- Premature operator failure on hillside driveways. The Hollywood Hills portion of 90028 adds steep grades where standard residential gate operators are undersized and fail prematurely under incline loads they were never spec’d for.
- Latch and lock corrosion on alley-load gates. Tight alley access means gates see constant use, and the marine layer attacks mechanical latches and electronic lock components faster than in inland areas.

FAQs — Gate Parts & Welding in Hollywood
Yes. We hand-match scroll and picket profiles using portable welding equipment and 20 years of pattern-matching experience on Hollywood’s original wrought-iron gates. Frank Delgado has reconstructed sections of gates south of Hollywood Boulevard where off-the-shelf hardware would have destroyed the architectural integrity. Call (855) 671-2951 to schedule a pattern assessment — estimates are free.
A commercial-grade hydraulic or heavy-duty chain-drive operator rated for incline load, typically FAAC or BFT models we stock and program, not a standard residential unit. Standard operators fail within months on Hollywood Hills grades because they’re spec’d for flat residential use. We’ve replaced dozens of prematurely failed units with properly rated systems. Call (855) 671-2951 for an operator assessment.
Yes. The seasonal marine layer deposits salt-laden moisture that attacks uncoated vintage wrought iron common in 90028, causing hinge and latch joint failure faster than in inland neighborhoods. We recommend periodic inspection of original ironwork and can treat or coat hardware during repair visits. Call (855) 671-2951 to schedule.
The fix is usually a combination of rail realignment, roller replacement, and adding wind bracing or upgrading to heavier-duty track hardware. On a narrow alley-load townhome in the 90028 flats, we replaced a worn-out LiftMaster chain-drive opener with a rolling-code remote system, then rewelded a sagging wrought-iron gate hinge that had fatigue-cracked from Santa Ana wind stress — all while working around tight parking to avoid blocking the alley. Same-day service is often available. Call (855) 671-2951.
Same day or next day in most cases. We stock replacement remotes and receivers for all nine major brands, including rolling-code systems, and we know the access constraints of Hollywood Hills properties. Frank Delgado handles the diagnostic personally. Call (855) 671-2951 — we’ll get you back through your gate today or tomorrow.
