Our Swinging Gate Repair Services
Structural Damage Restoration
We repair cracks, dents, and rust that weaken gate frames. Using strong materials, we rebuild damaged sections to restore full stability. If parts of the gate are bent or broken, we carefully remove and replace them. This stops further damage and ensures safety.
Our team treats metal surfaces to prevent future rust. This prolongs the life of your gate and reduces maintenance needs.
Gate Alignment and Adjustment
A misaligned gate can drag or fail to close properly. We check the entire gate to find and fix alignment issues.
We adjust the gate's position, so it swings freely without scraping the ground or frame. This improves operation and prevents wear. Our experts also tighten loose parts and ensure the gate locks securely every time. This keeps your property protected.
Hinge and Hardware Replacement
Worn or broken hinges cause gates to sag or stick. We replace hinges with durable options suited to your gate’s size and weight. We also replace bolts, screws, and other hardware to restore smooth motion. Using quality parts limits future problems.
Our team tests all replacements to confirm they work perfectly. This avoids delays and ensures your gate moves as it should.
Our Preventative Maintenance Programs
Scheduled Inspections
We set up regular inspections to find any issues early. These checks include looking at hinges, locks, and the gate’s frame for signs of wear or damage.
During inspections, we test for alignment problems and ensure the gate opens and closes without sticking. We also check if any parts are loose or broken. This routine helps us fix small problems before they turn into costly repairs or safety hazards.
Lubrication and Rust Prevention
Lubrication is crucial for moving parts like hinges and rollers. We use specialized oils and greases to reduce friction and prevent parts from wearing out fast.
We also treat metal surfaces to stop rust. This includes applying protective coatings that shield the gate from moisture and corrosion. Regular lubrication and rust prevention keep the gate operating quietly and smoothly, reducing the chance of breakdowns.
Weatherproofing Solutions
We provide treatments that protect gates from rain, snow, and extreme sunlight. These include weather-resistant paints and sealants designed to block water and UV rays.
Weatherproofing helps prevent warping, swelling, and fading of metal gates. It also reduces the risk of rust forming in exposed areas. Our weatherproofing methods ensure gates stay strong and look good through all seasons.
Swinging Gate Automation and Upgrades
We offer swinging gate automation to make your gate easier to use and more secure. Automating your gate means you can open and close it without leaving your vehicle. This adds convenience for daily use and improves safety.
Our team can add electric motors, remote controls, and keypad entry systems to your existing gate. We work with different types of automation kits to fit your specific gate size and weight. This ensures smooth and reliable operation every time.
Upgrading your gate can include:
- Adding safety sensors to prevent accidents
- Installing battery backups to keep your gate working during power outages
- Integrating smartphone control for remote access
Our technicians provide thorough testing after installation. We adjust the settings to match your usage needs and ensure quiet operation. If you want to improve your swinging gate’s function, we can help you choose the right upgrades for your space.
