Gate repair

Gate Repair in Flagstaff, AZ

A gate that sags, drags, will not latch or will not open is more than an annoyance. We repair manual and automatic gates of every type and get them working safely again.

Reliable gate repair in Flagstaff

Gates take a beating in the high country. Freeze-thaw cycles shift posts, snow and wind strain hinges, and falling branches, vehicles and large animals can dent or bend a gate. We repair gates of all kinds, from a wooden garden gate to a heavy automatic driveway gate, using quality parts and the right tools for the job.

Common gate problems we fix

  • Sagging or dragging gates, often caused by loose hinges, a leaning post or a frame that needs bracing
  • Gates that will not latch or swing shut properly
  • Broken or worn hinges, latches and hardware
  • Rust and bent frames on steel and iron gates, including welding repairs
  • Automatic gate problems: openers, safety sensors, tracks and control boards on swing and sliding gates

Automatic gate repair

When an electric sliding gate or automatic swing gate stops working, the cause can be the motor, the safety sensors, the track, the gate itself or the control board. The control board usually sits outside, exposed to weather and pests, so it is a common trouble spot. We find the cause and repair or replace the parts that need it.

Repairs by gate type

  • Steel and iron gates: hinge repair, welding, straightening and rust treatment
  • Aluminum gates: they do not rust, but dents and loose hinges are common after accidents
  • Wooden gates: re-hanging, squaring and bracing a sagging gate, and replacing rotted boards
  • Vinyl and chain link gates: hardware, latch and alignment fixes

Repair or replace?

Many gates can be repaired for far less than the cost of a new one, but sometimes replacement is the better value. We will explain the options so you can choose. Regular inspections and small repairs also help a gate last for years and head off bigger problems.

FAQ

Gate Repair questions

The most common causes are loose or worn hinges, a gate post that has shifted or leaned, and a frame that has twisted over time. Around Flagstaff, freeze-thaw can move posts. We find the cause and fix it so the gate swings and latches properly.

Yes. We work on automatic swing and sliding gates, including openers, safety sensors, tracks and control boards. If a part cannot be repaired, we will explain the replacement options.

Often it is. New hinges, bracing, welding or a re-hang can bring a gate back for far less than a new one. If the frame or post is too far gone, replacement may be the better value.
