Lake Livingston Fence: Gate Repair & Restoration
A gate is the hardest-working part of any fence. It moves every single day, it carries its own weight on a few hinges, and - if it is automated - it depends on motors, sensors, and power that all have to keep working together. So it is no surprise that a gate is usually the first thing to need repair. At Lake Livingston Fence, we fix manual and automatic gates across Livingston and the surrounding area, from a driveway gate that has started to drag to an automatic opener that has stopped responding altogether. In most cases a gate can be brought back to full working order without replacing the whole thing.
Gate trouble tends to show up in a few predictable ways. If your gate is doing any of the following, we can put it right:
An automatic gate that has stopped working is rarely beyond help. The fault is usually in one part of the system - a worn opener, a flat battery, a misaligned safety sensor, or a solar panel that is no longer charging - rather than the whole setup. We diagnose the actual cause instead of guessing, repair or replace the failed component, and get the gate cycling reliably again. If you are weighing up your power options while we are at it, our comparison of solar versus electric gate openers is a useful read, and we install and service both kinds of automatic gates and openers.
We repair the full range of gates we build, so the fix suits the gate. That includes driveway gates, custom wrought iron gates, and entryway and access gates. From re-hanging a heavy iron gate on proper posts to squaring up a frame that has sagged out of true, we rebuild the parts that carry the load so the repair lasts rather than returns.
We repair gates throughout Livingston, Onalaska, Cleveland, Corrigan, and the wider Polk and San Jacinto County area - the same communities we serve for new gate installations. If your gate is dragging, will not latch, or has stopped opening, we will come and take a look. Ask us for a free estimate and we will get it moving again.
