Gate Repair

There is a range of mechanical errors that can cause your gate to stop working. If you have a manual gate, here are some of the issues you have likely encountered, or are bound to in future. Some of the most basic electrical and maintenance tasks can be done yourself. Lubrication of joints and swapping appliances to check mains supply performance are a few examples. Many mechanical tasks however will be more challenging, and often it is best rely on a professional gate repair technician to perform them as effectively and safely as possible.

Broken Wheel Bearings and Tracks

If you gate is a sliding design, it will have wheel bearings at its base or run along a track that is typically placed along the ground. These components take the full weight of the gate every time it moves, and can suffer from a lot of wear and tear over time. If your tracks are damaged, your gate can be forced out of alignment or catch on large dents. The track can also fill with dirt and objects that force the gate to stop or slow at certain points in its motion. Broken wheel bearings can bring a gate to complete immobilization, and will need to be replaced entirely. These are all included in our gate repair services.

Broken Swing Gate Hinges

If you have a swing gate, it is the hinges that take a lot of pressure and tend to need more attention than other parts. They can rust, weaken, stiffen and snap if not maintained properly over their working life. Iron hinges that are many years or decades old often require welding to reform their shape. In the least severe cases, a stiffening hinge may simply need a good lubricant to free it of excessive friction.
