Types of Gates and Hinges We Service
We handle a variety of gate types and hinge styles to meet different needs. Our services cover both simple and complex hinge and joint repairs, ensuring smooth operation and long-lasting function.
Residential Automatic Gate Hinges
Our team works on hinges for automatic gates commonly found in homes. These include swing gates with heavy-duty hinges that must support frequent opening and closing. We fix issues like worn bearings, rust, and alignment problems to keep gates moving quietly and safely.
We also service self-closing gate hinges that resist weather damage. These hinges often have built-in springs or dampers, which we inspect and repair or replace as needed.
Proper maintenance of these parts prevents gate sagging or sticking.
Commercial gates usually have larger, tougher hinges and joints. They need to support heavy metal gates used in warehouses, factories, or parking lots.
We repair welded hinges, ball bearing joints, and reinforced pivots that often bear heavy loads.
Our repairs focus on restoring the strength and motion of these joints, especially in high-traffic areas.
We check for signs of metal fatigue, cracking, or rust and replace damaged parts swiftly to minimize downtime.

Our Preventative Maintenance Solutions
We focus on keeping your hinges and joints working smoothly before problems start. Proper care and regular checks help avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your automatic gates.
Lubrication and Protective Coatings
We apply high-quality lubricants to all moving parts in hinges and joints. This reduces friction and wear, helping the gate open and close without sticking or grinding. Protective coatings also shield metal components from rust and corrosion. This is especially important in harsh weather or salty environments. These coatings prevent damage that can cause parts to fail early.
Using the right products and applying them regularly keeps your gate’s mechanisms clean and functioning. It also limits the build-up of dirt and debris that can block movement.
Scheduled Inspection Plans
We offer scheduled inspections to catch problems early. Our technicians check hinges, joints, and related parts carefully for signs of wear or damage. A typical inspection includes tightening bolts, checking alignment, and testing gate movement. We also look for rust, cracks, or loose components that might cause future issues.
Regular inspections allow us to perform small fixes before they become major repairs. Following a planned schedule helps maintain safety and reliability for your gate system.
