Gatewood Fence & Gate in Oklahoma

Gatewood Fence & Gate repairs gates across Oklahoma with a welding rig in the truck and Hal Gatewood’s name on every invoice. Since 2001, Hal has been the owner who answers the phone himself, shows up in the window he promised, and fixes what other companies want to replace. Oklahoma homeowners who call Gatewood through the Locally family get the same straight dealing: a published address, a license number you can look up, and a price on the phone that matches the price on the invoice. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair, and a live person picks up around the clock. No call center, no dispatch queue, no voicemail black hole.

Why Oklahoma Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal started this shop in 2001 because he was tired of watching folks get talked into full gate replacements when a hinge weld and some honest adjustment would have done the job. Twenty-nine years later, he’s still owner-operated, still pulling up in a truck with his own name on it, still welding on site instead of hauling your gate off to who-knows-where. His address is published, his license number is on every estimate, and he lives close enough that running into you at the hardware store is a real possibility. That’s the accountability.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t buried in fine print. It’s stamped in writing on every job, and it means one call brings Hal back if something isn’t right. No runaround, no “we’ll send a technician,” no transfer to a corporate office three time zones away. Background-checked, uniformed crew members show up when Hal says they will, and if the window slips, he calls you himself. He’s certified on nine major gate brands, LiftMaster through Mighty Mule, so the diagnosis is accurate the first time and the parts he carries actually fit.

Hal knows his customers because he is his customer. Homeowners in Oklahoma’s small towns and rural counties have been burned by the same bait-and-switch: a low quote on the phone, a truck with out-of-state plates, and a bill at the door that makes no sense. Hal’s pricing is upfront and standing. There’s $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you want checked, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. No haggling, no coupon codes to hunt down, no “let me ask my manager.” The price is the price.

Calls get answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Not a chatbot, not a voicemail tree, not somebody reading from a script in another state. Hal built his business on the idea that when your gate won’t open at six on a Sunday morning, you reach a human who can actually help. That’s the Locally standard, and Gatewood meets it.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, got tired of hearing the same story from neighbors: out-of-state trucks, phone quotes that tripled at the door, and disconnected numbers when something went wrong. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes: local area code, published address, owner’s name and face, license number you can look up. Any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

Gatewood Fence & Gate carries it. Hal’s name is on the shop, his address is public, and he’s been at it since 2001. The Locally family doesn’t sell leads or take a cut of the job. We sell the answer to the only question that matters: are you actually local? With Gatewood, Oklahoma homeowners know before they call. The person who answers is the person who shows up. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice. And if it’s not done right, Hal makes it right.
