Fence Gates in Charlotte, NC

A gate gets used every day

A gate opens and closes more than any other part of a fence, so it needs solid posts, a sturdy frame and good hardware. When one of them fails, the gate sags, drags on the ground or stops latching.

New gates

We build gates for new and existing fences: a walk-through gate into the yard, a wider gate for a mower and equipment, or a double gate across the driveway. When you plan a fence, plan the gates with it: where you will walk through, mow and bring equipment in.

Gate repair and replacement

A sagging or sticking gate can often be fixed with new hinges, a new latch or a new post. If the gate itself is worn out, we replace it.

Hinges, latches and hardware

We install durable latches and hardware made for secure closing, smooth operation and long-lasting performance on wood, vinyl and metal gates.

Planning a gate

Think about what will pass through it: people, a mower, a trailer or a car. Then decide which way it should swing, which side the latch goes on and whether it needs to lock. On a slope, the gate also needs room to clear the ground as it opens.

Why gates sag

A gate hangs from one post, so that post and the hinges carry all of its weight. Over time the post can lean, screws work loose and the frame twists out of square, and the gate starts to drag. A sturdy, braced frame, a well-set hinge post and heavy-duty hardware keep it swinging freely.

Matching the fence

A new gate on an existing fence looks best when it matches the fence’s height, boards and finish. New wood is lighter than weathered wood at first, and a stain can bring the colors closer.

Keeping a gate working

Tighten hinge screws when they start to loosen, keep the latch clear of plants, and don’t let kids swing on the gate. A small sag is much easier to fix early than after the frame has twisted.
