Residential Gate Repair in Richardson: what we see

Richardson homes in established neighborhoods such as Breckinridge and Canyon Creek often have gates that have been in place for decades: driveway swing gates with long-serving openers, and side or pedestrian gates of the same age. The openers mostly need receivers, remotes, boards or limit switches. The manual gates need hinges, closers and latches that have worn or moved with the posts as the clay shifted over the years.

On automatic gates we test reversing, photo eyes and edges first, since older installs may predate current safety devices and children and pets are the reason they matter. Where sensors are missing, we explain adding them. Then we repair the opener and check hinges, latches and closers on every gate we look at. Residential gate repair in Richardson includes that safety check on every visit.

Residential Gate Repair in Richardson: questions

Our older Richardson gate has no photo eyes. Should we add them?

Yes, we recommend it. Many older gates were installed before current safety requirements, and photo eyes or edges are what stop a closing gate striking a person, pet or car. Most older operators can accept them, sometimes with a board update. We assess your gate and explain what it would take.

Our side gate latch no longer catches. Can that be fixed without a new gate?

Almost always. The gate has usually dropped on worn hinges or the post has moved, so the latch no longer lines up. We re-hang the gate, replace or adjust the hinges and realign or replace the latch. Fitting a self-closing hinge is worth considering if children or pets use the yard.
