A gate that drags on the ground, won’t latch, or sags visibly is usually fixable without replacing the whole gate. Salt air corrodes hinges, settling shifts the posts, and wood warps. These are the problems we solve — re-hanging, adjusting, and replacing hardware to get your gate working again.
What we do
- Inspect the gate frame, hinges, and posts for damage and alignment
- Shim or adjust hinges to relieve dragging or binding
- Reset or brace sagging posts using temporary bracing or concrete re-setting
- Replace corroded or broken hinges and latches
- Plane or sand gate edges if warping is causing binding
- Re-paint or seal exposed wood to prevent future weather damage
Gate repairs that avoid full replacement
- Hinges corroded but the gate frame is sound (replace hinges)
- Gate dragging on the ground from post settling (adjust or reset post)
- Latch broken or misaligned (replace latch, adjust strike)
- Gate sagging visibly but frame is not rotted (reinforce or re-brace)
- Small wood damage or rot in one section (repair or patch)
Full gate replacement makes sense when posts are rotting, the frame is twisted, or damage is widespread. Most daily gate problems are hinge, latch, or post-settling issues — fixable in an afternoon.
