Gate repair
Gate dragging, sagging or stuck? Most gates can be fixed, not replaced.
- Swing & sliding gates
- Hardware matched to the gate's weight
- Written price before work starts
Driveway and entry gates take a beating. Hinges wear, posts lean, rollers flatten and latches drift out of line until the gate drags on the ground or won't close on its own. Left alone, a sagging gate also strains the gate opener every time it moves.
We find out why the gate is failing, whether that's a worn hinge, a bent track, a loose post or damaged framing, and repair it so it swings or slides freely again. If the gate is automated, we check the operator too, so the gate and the motor are working together. See automatic gate repair for full system work.

What we repair on gates
Gate problems usually start small. Fixing the cause early keeps the gate, the posts and the opener from wearing out together.
Hinge & post repair
Worn, bent or loose hinges replaced and leaning posts re-set so swing gates hang level again.
Sliding gate rollers & tracks
Flattened or seized rollers replaced and bent or dirty tracks straightened and cleared.
Latches, locks & stops
Latches realigned or replaced so the gate closes and locks every time.
Frame & panel repair
Loose pickets, sagging frames and damaged panels repaired or reinforced where the gate is still sound.
Swing gate or sliding gate?
Swing gates
Open on hinges like a door, in one or two leaves. The most common problems are sagging, worn hinges and leaning posts, which make the gate drag or miss the latch.
Sliding gates
Roll sideways along a ground track or cantilever rollers. The most common problems are worn rollers, debris in the track and bent track sections that make the gate jam.
Signs your gate needs repair
Call before a small problem turns into a stuck gate:
- The gate drags on the groundUsually sagging hinges, a leaning post or a frame that has dropped.
- It won't latch or lockThe gate has shifted out of line with the latch or stop.
- Grinding or scraping as it movesWorn rollers, a dry or damaged track, or hardware rubbing.
- The gate stops or jams partwaySomething in the track, a bent section, or a binding hinge.
- Visible damage or loose partsBent framing, broken welds or loose pickets weaken the gate.
Safety first. Automatic gates are heavy and move with real force. Don't try to force a stuck gate or bypass its safety sensors; switch the operator to manual release only if you know how, and call a technician.
