Driveway Gate Repair in University Park: what we see
A University Park driveway gate usually works in a tight space. Lots are compact by Dallas standards, so the gate is close to the sidewalk, close to parked cars and close to the front door, and there is little slack if a leaf drops or a slide drifts off its line. Wrought iron swing pairs and driveway slides are the common types. Clay soil moves the posts over time, and on frontages this narrow even a small shift puts a safety sensor out of alignment or lets a leaf scrape the driveway.
We start with the gate, not the motor: hinges, post plumb, wheels and track, then the operator. A sagging leaf can often be rehung and the post corrected, while a cracked weld or a rotted bottom rail may mean repairing the gate itself. Once it moves freely by hand we reset limits and force and test the photo eyes across the real path of the car. This is driveway gate repair in University Park for homes in Windsor Place, Stratford Manor and the streets around them.

Driveway Gate Repair in University Park: questions
My driveway gate scrapes the ground at the end of its swing. What is wrong?
Usually the hinge post has moved or the leaf has dropped on its hinges. In University Park clay, posts lean slightly as the ground swells and shrinks, and a heavy iron leaf amplifies that at its far end. Driving the gate harder only damages the operator. We correct the post or hinges so the leaf clears, then reset the operator settings.
Can I use my driveway gate manually while it is waiting for repair?
Most operators have a manual release so the gate can be moved by hand. Use it, but only after the power is off or the operator is released, and keep the gate secured in the open or closed position so it cannot swing into a car or a person. If the gate is heavy or binding, leave it and let us release it safely.
