Residential Gate Repair in McKinney: what we see

Residential gates in McKinney range from estate swing gates on larger Stonebridge Ranch and Eldorado lots to solar-powered gates at the end of rural drives, plus the side yard and pedestrian gates on almost every home. Clay soil affects all of them. A post that moves through a summer and a wet spring will pull a latch out of line, make a side gate drag, or leave a driveway gate binding against its operator. Heat and storm surges add board and battery failures to the list.

When we repair a home gate in McKinney, safety comes first. We check that photo eyes, edges and reversing work properly, because an automatic gate needs to stop and reverse if a child, pet or car is in its path. On pedestrian and side gates, we fix sagging hinges and latches so the gate closes and holds, which matters for pools and dogs. Then we repair the opener, battery or wiring. Hinge, latch and sensor work fixes many of these calls.

Residential Gate Repair in McKinney: questions

Our side gate in McKinney will not latch anymore. Is it the gate or the post?

Usually the post or hinges. Clay soil moves gate posts with the seasons, and a small lean is enough to stop a latch meeting its keeper. We check the post, adjust or replace hinges, and realign the latch. If the post has moved a lot, resetting it in a proper footing is the lasting fix.

How do I know my automatic gate is safe for kids and pets?

Test it with care: while the gate is closing, block the photo eye beam with an object, not a person, and the gate should stop and reverse. If it does not, stop using the automatic mode and call us. We test photo eyes, edges and force settings to current safety standards and fix anything that does not respond correctly.
