Common Metal Gate Repair Issues & Solutions

1. Gate Stuck Open or Closed

A stuck metal gate is not only frustrating but can pose security risks for your home or business. The most common causes include mechanical failure, track obstructions, or gate opener malfunctions.

Signs of a Stuck Metal Gate:

Gate won’t open or close completely.
Hinges or rollers are jammed.
Grinding or clicking sounds when trying to operate the gate.
Electrical issues preventing the gate from responding.

We inspect and repair mechanical, electrical, and track-related issues to restore smooth operation.

2. Rust & Corrosion Damage

Rust is a common problem with wrought iron and steel gates, especially if they are exposed to rain, humidity, or salt air.

How We Repair Rusted Gates:

Remove surface rust with sanding and wire brushing.
Apply rust-inhibiting primer and protective coatings.
Replace severely corroded metal sections with new welded components.
Repaint the gate for long-lasting durability.

Regular rust treatment and maintenance can extend the lifespan of your gate and maintain its appearance.

3. Broken Welds & Structural Damage

Broken welds can compromise the strength and security of a metal gate, making repairs crucial for both safety and functionality.

Common Causes of Broken Welds:

Metal fatigue from frequent use.
Accidental impact from vehicles or heavy objects.
Weather exposure weakening the weld points.

Our team provides on-site welding repairs, reinforcing weak spots and restoring the gate’s integrity.

4. Bent or Broken Pickets & Panels

Pickets and panels on iron or steel gates can become bent, cracked, or broken due to impacts, weather damage, or improper handling.

Repair Solutions:

Straightening bent pickets to restore their original shape.
Welding new pickets in place to replace damaged sections.
Priming and painting repaired areas for a seamless finish.

A properly maintained metal gate not only looks great but ensures maximum security for your property.

5. Sagging or Misaligned Gates

A sagging metal gate can become difficult to operate and put strain on hinges, rollers, and motors.

Common Causes of Sagging Gates:

Hinge post shifting due to soil movement.
Worn-out or rusted hinges needing replacement.
Gate frame warping from weather exposure.

We adjust, reinforce, or replace hinges and posts to restore proper alignment and functionality.

6. Warped or Damaged Gate Frames

If your metal gate has suffered an impact—such as from a vehicle collision or heavy windstorm—the frame may become warped, bent, or misaligned.

Our Repair Approach:

Assess the extent of the damage and determine if welding repairs are possible.
Straighten or reinforce the gate frame.
Replace severely damaged sections if necessary.

For severely warped gates, we can fabricate a new custom gate to match your existing design.

Keep Your Metal Gate in Top Condition

To prevent future repairs, we recommend regular maintenance, including:

Hinge and roller lubrication to reduce friction and wear.
Annual rust inspections and repainting to prevent corrosion.
Routine alignment checks to avoid sagging or misalignment.
