Gate repairs

A gate that drags on the ground or will not latch usually has one of three causes: a leaning post, worn hinges, or a frame that has lost its brace.

What we repair

We diagnose before we estimate, because replacing a gate that only needs a new hanging post is money wasted.

  • Re-hanging dropped or dragging gates
  • Replacing rotten or leaning hanging posts
  • Upgrading undersized hinges and latches
  • Re-bracing sagging gate frames
  • Re-squaring and re-bolting driveway gates

When repair stops being worthwhile

If the frame joints have opened and the timber is soft, a new made-to-measure gate on the existing posts is usually the better spend.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my gate keep dropping?
Almost always the hanging post moving in the ground, or hinges too small for the gate's weight.
Can you repair a metal gate?
PLACEHOLDER — confirm whether No1 Fencing takes on metal gate repair and welding work.
