Swing Gate Repair in Plano: what we see

Wrought iron swing gates are common on Plano estate homes and on smaller community entrances. The usual fault we see is sag: the leaf drops at the latch end, drags on the drive, and the operator strains to push it the last few feet. On Plano clay, a hinge post that has leaned a few degrees is often the cause. We adjust or replace the hinges, and where the post itself has moved we say so plainly instead of repeatedly re-adjusting the operator.

The operator arm and its brackets take a lot of force on a heavy leaf, and the welds or bolts at the gate bracket loosen over time. A swing gate that clunks at the start of travel or bounces at the end usually has play in that joint. We also check the stop positions, since a gate with no physical stop relies on the operator limits alone and will drift.

Swing Gate Repair in Plano: questions

Why does my swing gate open fine but stop short when closing?

Most often the leaf has dropped and now drags near the closed position, or a closing limit has drifted. On gates that close uphill toward the street, which is common on sloped Plano lots, the operator may also be set too gently to finish the stroke.

Can you fix a swing gate that the wind keeps pushing open?

Yes. Electric locks or a drop bolt can hold the leaves closed, and some operators can be set to hold position under load. We look at which suits your gate before adding hardware.
