Expert Gate Repair Services
Sagging, off-track, or dragging gates repaired fast across Sacramento and Northern California. We fix wood, iron, chain-link, and automatic gates. Same-day and emergency service available.
Why Sacramento Gates Sag, Drag & Fail
A gate is the most mechanically complex part of any fence — it swings, carries its own weight, and endures thousands of cycles every year. In Sacramento's climate, wood expansion from winter rains and summer heat accelerates hardware fatigue, causing gates to sag, drag, or refuse to latch.
At Palisade Fence Co., we've repaired hundreds of gates across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, and Folsom. Whether your residential wood gate is dragging, your commercial chain-link gate won't close, or your automatic driveway gate stopped responding, we fix it fast.
We also address the root cause: a rotted or shifted gate post is responsible for most recurring sag issues. We re-set hinge posts as part of our comprehensive repair process.
Four Critical Gate Repair Services
Every failing gate has a primary cause. We diagnose all four attack vectors in a single visit.
Sagging Gate Fix
We install heavy-duty anti-sag rod-and-turnbuckle kits and reinforce corner joints to eliminate drooping and drag for good.
Hinge & Hardware Upgrade
Worn hinges, latch plates, and gate bolts are replaced with commercial-grade stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware built to last.
Automatic Gate Tune-Up
We service, calibrate, and repair automatic gate operators — including motors, safety sensors, remote receivers, and limit switches.
Post Re-Setting
Gate posts take extreme leverage loads. We re-set shifting posts in fresh concrete and realign the gate frame for smooth operation.
Our 6-Step Gate Repair Process
We fix gates right the first time — no band-aid repairs, no return visits.
Full Gate Diagnosis
We swing, lift, and inspect the gate on all axes to pinpoint hardware, frame, post, or operator failures.
Frame & Joint Repair
Loose joints and cracked frames are repaired with exterior adhesive, carriage bolts, and steel plates.
Anti-Sag Installation
We install a premium rod-and-turnbuckle anti-sag kit diagonally across the gate frame to eliminate drag.
Hinge Replacement
Corroded or small hinges are replaced with heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges rated for the gate weight.
Latch & Self-Closer
New latches and gravity self-closers are installed for reliable pool-code compliant latching.
20-Cycle Swing Test
We open and close the gate 20+ times until it swings freely and latches positively from any angle.
