Residential Gate Repair in Fort Worth: what we see

Fort Worth homes have a wide range of gates. In Fairmount and Near Southside, older homes may have a pedestrian gate onto the street and side gates into narrow yards. In Wedgwood and Arlington Heights, automated driveway gates are common, often with older operators. Acreage homes past Loop 820 have long battery gates. Across all of them, clay soil moves posts so side gates stop latching, and hail damages sensors on automated gates.

Safety comes first. We test photo-eyes, edge sensors and reversing force on automated gates, as UL 325 expects, and check that self-closing side and pool gates latch every time. Then we fix the fault: a side gate that drags, a pedestrian lock that will not release, or a driveway operator that stops short. We repair rather than replace when parts allow, and explain the choice when they do not.

Residential Gate Repair in Fort Worth: questions

Our Fort Worth side gate has started dragging on the ground. Can it be fixed?

Yes. Usually the post has leaned in the clay or the hinges have worn, so the gate drops at the latch end. We re-plumb the post or adjust and replace the hinges, then realign the latch. For a pool gate we also make sure it self-closes and latches reliably.

Does our older automatic gate have the safety features it should?

Older gates often have fewer safety devices than current standards expect. We check for photo-eyes, edge sensors and correct reversing force, and recommend additions where they are missing. Children and pets are most at risk around a gate that does not reverse, so this is worth checking.
