Sliding Gate Repair in University Park, TX

A slide gate is often the only option on a University Park frontage where a swinging leaf would hit a parked car or the sidewalk. That makes driveway slides common here, and it means the gate runs parallel to a fence line with little clearance at either end. The track sits on a slab or footing in clay, and when the ground moves the track rises or dips, the gate stops rolling true, and the operator works against it. Sliding gate repair in University Park often comes back to that ground movement, plus wheels and guide rollers worn flat.

Our order is mechanical first. We run the gate by hand along its full travel, check the track for level and debris, inspect wheels, guide rollers and stops, then move to chain tension, sprockets and the operator limits. On a gate installed with a rebuild we also check that the limits and safety devices were set for how the gate runs now. Track sections and wheels are replaceable, so a new gate is rarely needed. We repair slides near Snider Plaza, off Preston Road and in University Heights.
