Residential Gate Repair in Southlake: what we see

A Southlake home often has more than one gate. Besides a wrought iron driveway gate, there may be side gates, a pedestrian gate beside the main leaves and a rear access gate, many of them installed with the house in the late 1990s. Iron on clay soil means sagging leaves, latches that no longer line up, and self-closing hinges that have weakened. For families, those small faults matter: a side gate that does not latch lets a dog out, and an automated gate without working sensors is a hazard for children.

We cover the whole property on one visit if needed: rehang or adjust sagging gates, replace hinges and latches, and repair the operator on the automated gate. On every automated gate we test the photo-eyes, edge sensors and auto-reverse, because UL 325 entrapment protection is what keeps a closing gate from injuring anyone. In Coventry Manor, Kirkwood Hollow or Timarron, a residential gate repair often includes resetting a pedestrian gate latch so it closes and catches on its own.

Residential Gate Repair in Southlake: questions

Our side gate in Southlake will not latch any more. Why?

The post or the leaf has usually moved. Clay soil shifts posts slightly through wet and dry seasons, and a small move is enough to misalign a latch. We adjust the hinges, realign or replace the latch and, where the post itself has leaned, explain whether resetting it is worth doing. A properly closing side gate matters if you have pets or small children.

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

Place a soft object such as a cardboard box in the gate’s path while it closes; it should stop and reverse on contact or when the photo-eye beam is broken. Never use a person or pet to test. If it does not reverse, stop using the automation and call us. We test and adjust every safety device as part of a residential repair.
