Swing Gate Repair in Dallas: what we see

Wrought iron swing gates are a Dallas signature, from estate entrances in Preston Hollow and Devonshire to the older driveways of Kessler Park and Lakewood. Iron is heavy, and every leaf is a long lever on its hinge post. Dallas clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and a post set in it tilts a little at a time. The leaf then sags, scrapes the drive or misses its stop, and the operator arm pushes against the bind until the board trips or a bracket cracks.

We swing each leaf by hand, check the hinge pins, post plumb and the latch line, and correct the gate before touching the operator. Fixes include new hinges, re-hanging the leaf, a support wheel or post work. Then we test the operator: arm pivots, limits, force, capacitor and board. On double gates we set the leaf delay so the leaves close in sequence. Swing gate repair in Dallas ends with a safety check of the photo-eyes and reversal, so the gate stops for people and cars.

Swing Gate Repair in Dallas: questions

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

One or both leaves have moved, usually because a post has tilted in the clay or the hinges have worn. The leaves then arrive at different heights or angles. We find which post or hinge has moved, correct it, and reset the operator limits and leaf delay so both gates close cleanly together again.

Can a heavy wrought iron gate damage its operator?

Yes, if it is too heavy for the operator’s rating or hangs badly. The operator strains on every cycle, which wears the gears and arm pivots and overheats the motor. We check weight, hinge condition and leaf length against the operator, and tell you if the gate needs lighter infill or a stronger operator.
