A wood gate sags because it is heavy and hangs off one side. Over time it racks out of square, the hinges loosen, and the latch no longer lines up. We square the gate back up, add bracing so it holds, and reset or replace the gate post if it has leaned.
We also build new wood gates to match your fence, from a single walk gate to a wide gate you open by hand.
- Sagging wood gates squared up and braced
- Gate posts reset or replaced in concrete
- New hinges, latches and drop rods fitted
- New wood walk gates and wide hand-opened gates
- Gates matched to your existing fence
Why a Sagging Gate Gets Worse
A gate that sags is pulling itself apart a little more each day. Every swing tugs on loose hinges and a leaning post, so the drag and the gap keep growing. Soon the latch will not catch at all, and an open gate lets pets out and the yard open to the street. The fix is usually simple if you catch it early: brace the gate, tighten or move the hinges, and set the post solid. Wait too long and the gate can rack so far that it has to be rebuilt.

What Customers Are Saying
Why Homeowners Call S&L About Gates
Gates Braced to Stay Square
A gate sags because nothing holds it square. We add bracing and set the post solid, so the gate keeps swinging true instead of drooping again.
Latches That Line Up
A gate is only fixed if it closes on its own. We hang it so the latch catches every time and you are not lifting it shut.
Small Jobs Done Fast

Call (469) 340-2030Why does my wood gate sag?
A gate hangs off one side and carries its own weight, so gravity slowly pulls it out of square. Loose hinges and a leaning post make it worse. We square the gate, brace it, and set the post so it stops sagging.
Can you fix a gate that will not latch?
Yes. A gate that will not latch has usually dropped or racked so the latch no longer lines up. We rehang the gate, add bracing, and move or replace the latch so it catches on its own again.
What kinds of gates do you work on?
We build and repair wood gates you open by hand, from walk gates to wide drive gates. If you have another type of gate, send a text or call and we will tell you if it is a fit.
Can you build a new gate to match my fence?
Yes. We build wood gates to match your existing fence, pick hinges and a latch to suit the weight, and set a solid post so the new gate swings straight from day one.
How much does gate repair cost?
It depends on the fix. A new latch or a brace is a small job. Resetting a post or rebuilding a gate costs more. We look at the gate and give you a free quote first.
