Fence Gate Repair

Fence gates experience more movement and stress than any other part of a fence. Over time, this leads to sagging, dragging, misalignment, and hardware failure. In many cases, professional fence gate repair can restore proper function and stability without replacing the entire fence.

Fence Makeovers provides fence gate repair services throughout North Texas, focusing on long-term durability and structural integrity rather than temporary fixes.

Sagging Fence Gates

Sagging is one of the most common gate problems. Many gates fail because they were built with insufficient framing or only two hinges. Over time, gravity pulls the gate downward, causing alignment issues.

Dragging or Sticking Gates

Soil movement, shifting posts, or improper installation can cause gates to drag along the ground or fail to latch properly.

Broken or Worn Hinges

Low-grade hinges wear out or bend under pressure. Replacing them with stronger hardware prevents recurring issues.

Latch and Alignment Problems

Misaligned latches prevent secure closure and can compromise both convenience and security.

Many fence gates fail because they were not built to handle long-term stress. At Fence Makeovers, we repair and rebuild gates using a three heavy-duty hinge system for added strength and stability.

Our gate repair process includes:

• Evaluating post stability
• Reinforcing framing if needed
• Installing upgraded hinges
• Correcting alignment
• Ensuring smooth latch operation

This approach minimizes sagging and extends the lifespan of your fence gate.

Fence gate repair is often the right solution when:

• Fence posts remain structurally sound
• Damage is limited to hardware or alignment
• The surrounding fence is stable

Gate replacement may be necessary if:

• Posts are rotted below ground
• Structural framing is compromised
• Severe storm damage occurred

Our team provides honest evaluations and explains your options clearly before any work begins.

Improper gate repairs often fail within months. Common mistakes include:
