Swing Gate Repair in Southlake, TX

Wrought iron swing gates are a staple of Southlake estate drives, and they are heavy. Over two decades the hinge pins wear, the hinge post leans as the clay around its footing swells and shrinks, and the leaf drops at the latch end. A dropped leaf scrapes the drive, closes late or bounces off its stop, and a swing operator pushing it reads the extra effort as an obstruction. On pairs of gates, one weak leaf throws the closing sequence out, so the two leaves arrive together or clash.

We release the operator and swing each leaf by hand. Stiff hinges get greased or replaced, a sagging leaf gets adjusted, and a leaning post gets an honest assessment, since resetting it may be the real fix. Then we check arm brackets, limits, force settings and leaf delay. In Timarron, Carillon and the streets off FM 1709 Southlake Blvd, much swing gate repair comes down to this mechanical work, and the operator is often fine once the gate moves freely.
