Swing Gate Repair in Colleyville: what we see

Wrought iron and estate swing gates make up much of the gate stock on Colleyville’s large lots. The wide frontages encourage long single leaves, and a long leaf acts as a lever on its top hinge. Over time the hinge wears, the leaf drops at the latch end, and the operator arm has to lift and push it through every cycle. Clay soil that moves the hinge post adds a seasonal twist, so limits that were right in spring are off by late summer.

We check the gate by hand, then the hinges, the post and the frame, then the operator arm, brackets and pivot points, then limits, force settings, photo eyes and the board. Hinge replacement and re-hanging are often the real repair. On older AC swing operators the capacitor is worth testing early. Swing gate repair in Colleyville around Covington or along Hall-Johnson Road begins with that inspection.

Swing Gate Repair in Colleyville: questions

Why do my paired swing gates in Colleyville no longer meet in the middle?

Usually one leaf has dropped or one post has moved. Clay soil shifts posts slightly through the seasons, and worn hinges let a leaf sag. Either way the leaves arrive at different heights or positions. We correct the hang on each leaf, check the posts, then reset the limits and the leaf delay so they close together.

Is a swing gate operator arm repairable if it is bent?

Often, yes. A bent arm usually comes from the gate being forced, a vehicle contact or a gate that binds. We replace the arm or bracket where needed, then find out why it bent so it does not happen again. If the operator inside is undamaged, there is no reason to replace the whole unit.

We answer the phone 24/7. If you are stuck, call and we will talk you through the manual release before anyone arrives. See what counts as a gate emergency.
