Swing Gate Repair in Fort Worth: what we see

Fort Worth swing gates come in two main kinds. In Westcliff, Wedgwood and Arlington Heights, they are often wrought iron leaves on older homes, with operators that have been running for many years. Past Loop 820, ranch and acreage swing gates are long and heavy, usually on battery and solar. Both suffer from Fort Worth clay, which moves posts and drops a leaf out of line, and both take hail damage to photo-eyes and enclosures.

We release the operator and move the leaf by hand to find binding, then check hinges, post plumb and sag. Correcting a moved post or worn hinge is often the whole repair. Next come the limits, force and leaf delay, then the operator: board, arm and gearbox on mains units, battery and panel on solar gates. Swing gate repair in Fort Worth usually saves the operator once the gate itself is right.

Swing Gate Repair in Fort Worth: questions

Our ranch swing gate past Loop 820 opens slowly by the evening. Why?

That is a charging pattern. Every cycle through the day takes a little more from the battery than the panel manages to return. A worn battery, a dirty or hail-damaged panel, or a long leaf that has started to drag can all cause it. We test the battery and panel and check the gate by hand.

Do swing gate operator arms wear out?

Yes. The arm, its brackets and pivot points wear with use, especially on long or heavy leaves and in wind. Loose brackets also let the arm flex, which changes the limits. We check and tighten mounting, replace worn pivots and arms, and reset limits so the gate stops where it should.

Gate Not Working Right Now?

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.
