Gate Repair in Allen, TX

Gates we see in Allen

Allen is mostly suburban neighborhoods and business parks, so the gates we work on there tend to fall into three groups: neighborhood entrances, driveway and side-yard gates on larger lots, and sliding gates that close off commercial lots and storage yards along US 75 and SH 121.

Each group fails in its own way. Entrance gates cycle hundreds of times a day, so worn hinges, tired batteries and remotes that stop working after a board reset are common. Driveway gates are more likely to be hit by a car or blocked by a sensor knocked out of line during yard work. Commercial sliding gates wear rollers and tracks, and a gate that has jumped its track should not be forced.

Ground movement and Allen gates

Allen shares the Blackland Prairie clay found across this part of Collin County. That clay swells when it is wet and shrinks in a drought, and over a few seasons the movement can lean a gate post enough to make the gate bind or the latch miss. If your gate began dragging after a dry summer or a very wet spring, ground movement is a likely cause, and adjusting the operator alone will not fix it.

Help us find you faster

When you call, give us the nearest cross street, such as Stacy Road, Exchange Parkway, Bethany Drive or McDermott Drive, and tell us whether the gate is stuck open or stuck closed. A stuck-open gate is a security problem. A stuck-closed gate can trap cars, so say so right away.
