Repairs for sagging, dragging and misaligned gates, with new braces, hinges, posts and latches that get the gate swinging and closing like new.
A gate that sags, drags or will not latch is a daily annoyance and sometimes a safety problem. Heavy boards, weak hinges, leaning posts and worn latches are the usual causes, and most can be fixed without replacing the whole gate. Owners in Nashville call us to bring tired gates back into square, make them swing easily and close with a click.
We start with a Free Estimate and inspect the gate, hinges, latch, posts and fence connections. We explain what is wrong and recommend a repair: adding diagonal bracing or a tension cable, upgrading hinges, resetting or replacing a post, replacing rotted boards or fitting a new latch. We complete the repair, test the gate through its swing and show you how to keep it adjusted. Most sagging gates can be fixed, and the fix usually lasts if we address the post and the hardware as well as the gate. We look at how the gate is used, whether trucks or kids hang on it and whether the soil is moving, and we recommend the repair that fits. We also offer simple adjustments you can make yourself.
Sag can come from the frame, the hinges or the post, and fixing the wrong part will not last.
A diagonal brace or tension cable puts the gate back into square and keeps it there.
Leaning or loose hinge posts are reset or replaced and set in concrete with correct depth.
