Driveway Gate Repair in Plano: what we see

Plano driveway gates are mostly ornamental iron or steel, either a single slide gate across the drive or a pair of swing leaves meeting in the middle. On double swing gates the two leaves have to open and close in sequence, and when one operator weakens or one hinge stiffens the leaves start to collide or stop out of step. We set the leaf delay and the force adjustment again after any repair, so the pair runs together.

Weight is the other thing we check on Plano homes. Owners often add decorative panels, privacy screening or wood cladding to an iron gate after it was installed, and the extra weight and wind load can take an operator past its rating. If that is why the gate keeps stalling, we will tell you, and set out the choice between lightening the gate and fitting a stronger operator.

Driveway Gate Repair in Plano: questions

Can I open my driveway gate by hand if it fails?

Most operators have a manual release, usually a key or lever on the arm or the operator housing. We show every Plano customer where theirs is and how it works, so a dead gate does not trap a car in the drive while you wait for a repair.

My two driveway gate leaves hit each other when they close. Is that a repair?

Yes, and it is worth doing early because the impact bends hinges and stresses both operators. The usual fixes are resetting the leaf delay, adjusting the limits, or correcting a sagging leaf that now arrives at the wrong point.
