Residential Gate Repair in University Park: what we see

A University Park home often has more gates than its owner thinks about. Besides the automated driveway gate there is a courtyard gate near the front door, a side gate to the yard and sometimes a pedestrian gate beside the main leaf. On rebuilt properties these may all be new and still settling, and on older ones some were added decades apart. Clay moves the posts on all of them, and on tight frontages a misaligned safety sensor on the driveway gate sits only steps from where children play or a dog waits.

We check each gate for how it closes and latches as well as how it opens. Self-closing hinges and latches on side and pool gates should actually close and catch, and automated gates need working photo eyes, edges and correct force so they reverse on contact. Hinges, latches, posts and operator settings are the usual repairs. Residential gate repair in University Park extends to Windsor Place, University Heights and homes near Centennial Park.

Residential Gate Repair in University Park: questions

Our side gate no longer latches on its own. Is that worth fixing?

Yes, especially with children or pets at home. A side gate that drifts open usually has a post that has moved in the clay, a sagging leaf or a worn self-closing hinge, and any of those stops the latch catching. We realign the gate, adjust or replace the closer and latch, and check that it closes and catches from any open position.

How can I tell if my automatic gate’s safety devices still work?

With care. Watch whether the gate stops and reverses when the photo eye beam is broken, using an object rather than a person or pet, and whether any contact edge triggers a reverse. If the gate keeps moving, stop using it and call. We test sensors, edges and force against the operator specification and correct whatever is not working.
