Residential Gate Repair in Highland Park: what we see

Homes in Highland Park often have more than one gate: a main estate swing gate, a courtyard gate near the front door, and a pedestrian or side gate into the garden. Many are ornamental iron and some are original to the house, set on posts in clay that moves with the seasons. Hinges wear, latches stop catching, and automated leaves drift out of square. On narrow lots, the photo eyes that protect children and pets are easy to knock out of line.

For residential gate repair in Highland Park we treat safety as part of every job. On automated gates we test the reversing function, photo eyes and any edges, and on pedestrian gates we make sure latches close fully and self-closing hinges still pull the gate shut, which matters near a pool or a busy street. Then we fix the hinge, post or operator fault itself. We repair homes around Lakeside Park and in Old Highland Park.

Residential Gate Repair in Highland Park: questions

Our side gate no longer latches by itself. Can that be fixed?

Yes. A side gate that will not latch usually has a sagging hinge, a post that has moved or a self-closing hinge that has lost tension. We realign the gate and adjust or replace the closer and latch so it shuts firmly every time. That matters most where the gate keeps children or a dog in, or guards a pool.

How do I know the safety sensors on my home gate still work?

With the gate closing, pass an object such as a box through the beam at the photo eyes; the gate should stop and reverse. Never test with a person or pet. If it does not reverse, stop using the gate automatically and call us, since a failed safety device is a serious risk on any residential gate.
