Wrought Iron Gate Repair, Welding & Restoration in Los Angeles
A wrought iron gate is part security barrier, part sculpture — and when it fails, it takes both roles down with it. A hinge tears out of its post, a scroll cracks at an old weld, or rust quietly eats through the bottom rail until the gate drags and won't latch. That's not a job for a handyman; it's a job for a crew that welds, grinds, and finishes iron every week.
Novak Doors & Gates repairs and restores wrought iron gates across Los Angeles and the surrounding area using mobile welding rigs, matched-profile steel, and finish work that disappears into the original design.

Tell us what broke - and send a photo if you can. Our iron fabricator reviews it, calls you back with a straight assessment, and books a same-day welding slot when the schedule allows.
On-Site Gate Welding & Same-Day Iron Repairs
Our trucks carry a full mobile welding setup, so most structural iron repairs happen right at your property in a single visit — no hauling the gate to a shop. We re-fuse cracked welds, rebuild torn hinge plates, straighten or replace bent pickets, and square up sagging frames so the gate hangs true and latches again. If a vehicle clipped your gate or a leaf dropped overnight, call (323) 955-2251 - same-day welding appointments are available across Los Angeles.
Iron Craftsmanship You Can See From the Curb
Plenty of companies can bolt on a gate operator. Far fewer can re-create a Victorian scroll, butt-weld a hairline crack until it vanishes, or color-match a hand-applied faux-bronze finish. Our fabricators treat ornamental restoration with the same care as structural repair, which is why estate managers and HOA boards across LA bring us the ironwork other shops turn down.
Wrought Iron Gate Repair & Restoration Services Under One Roof
One crew covers the whole gate - iron, wood, and the hardware that makes it move. If your gate mixes materials (an iron frame with wood infill is common across LA), we service both sides of it in the same appointment:
- Weld & structural repairs: cracked joints, torn hinge plates, broken pickets, and bent frames re-fused and squared on-site.
- Rust remediation & refinishing: grinding, rust treatment, priming, and paint or powder coat with color matching.
- Fabricated-to-match restoration: scrolls, pickets, finials, and full sections re-made to match your existing ironwork, including older estate gates whose original maker is long gone.
- Wood & combination gates: rotted panels, cupped boards, and failed frames rebuilt alongside the iron.
- Hinges & Hardware: heavy-duty pins, straps and bearing hinges welded in place.
- Automatic iron gate repair: if your restored gate runs on an opener, we get the operator, hinges, and safety hardware working together again.
What Breaks on Iron & Wood Gates in LA
These are the failures we see most often on Los Angeles iron and wood gates:
- Rust blooming from the bottom rail up — sprinkler overspray is the usual culprit.
- Hinge pins worn oval, so the gate drags, clangs, or sags out of square.
- Cracked welds where the diagonal brace meets the frame.
- Wood panels cupping and pulling their fasteners loose.
- Paint failure that lets coastal salt air reach bare steel.
Caught early, each of these is a small, single-visit repair. Ignored, they turn into full-panel rebuilds, which is why a quick call at the first sign of rust or drag saves you money down the line.
Keeping an Iron Gate Rust-Free in Los Angeles
Iron lasts far longer in LA with a simple routine: rinse off irrigation minerals monthly, touch up paint chips before rust creeps under the surrounding finish, oil the hinge pins twice a year, and keep sprinkler heads aimed away from the bottom rail. Every few years, a professional strip-and-recoat - we offer sand, prime, and powder-coat service - resets the clock on the entire gate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our service trucks carry mobile welding rigs, so cracked welds, torn hinge plates, and broken pickets are repaired right at your property anywhere in Los Angeles — no need to remove the gate or haul it to a shop for most jobs.
Usually, yes. Surface and moderate rust is ground back, treated, primed, and refinished. We only recommend replacement when structural sections have rusted through - and even then we can often fabricate and weld in matching sections rather than replace the whole gate.
Two local culprits: sprinkler overspray hitting the bottom rail and coastal salt air reaching bare steel through failing paint. We fix the damage and prevent the next round with a full strip, prime, and powder-coat or paint finish - the best protection for a gate in the Los Angeles climate.
Yes. We fabricate replacement scrolls, pickets, and finials to match existing profiles, including work on older estate gates where the original maker is long gone.
Yes. We repair and rebuild wood and iron-and-wood combination gates: rotted panels, cupped boards, failed frames, and sagging leaves. Wood gate repair calls across Los Angeles are handled by the same crew.
Yes. We strip, prime, and refinish iron gates with paint or powder coat, including color matching to your property. Refinishing is the single best protection against LA coastal air and sprinkler corrosion.
Most single-visit welding repairs - a cracked joint, a torn hinge plate, several broken pickets - fall in the few-hundred-dollar range depending on access and finish work. We quote before we start, and the visit fee is applied to the repair.
Yes. We fabricate custom iron gates and matching fence sections, from simple modern frames to ornamental designs, and install them with the operator and access control if you want the full system from one team. Call (323) 955-2251 to talk through a design.
Often, yes. Vehicle impacts, bent frames, and torn hinges are exactly what our mobile welding service is built for. Call (323) 955-2251 with a photo, and we'll book a same-day appointment when the schedule allows to get your gate secure again.
Yes. Sagging and dragging almost always trace back to worn hinge pins, a cracked brace weld, or a frame that's pulled out of square. We re-weld the failure points, replace the hinges, and re-hang the gate so it swings freely and latches properly.
Yes. The same crew rebuilds rotted panels, cupped boards, failed frames, and sagging leaves, then re-integrates them with the iron frame - so a mixed-material gate is handled in one visit.
Yes. We handle residential, commercial, and estate ironwork throughout LA, from a single homeowner's entry gate to heavy, high-cycle gates at gated communities and business properties.
