Gate Repair in Lucas, TX

Gates on acreage

On a large lot the gate is often out of sight of the house, so a fault can go unnoticed until someone is stuck at it. Ranch-style pipe gates and wide estate gates also carry more weight and catch more wind than a typical neighborhood gate, which is hard on hinges, posts and operator arms.

Many of these gates were fitted with an opener after the gate was built. That works when the opener is matched to the gate, but an opener sized for a lighter gate will strain, stop and reverse, especially on windy days.

Fire ants, critters and control boxes

In rural parts of North Texas, fire ants and other small animals often move into gate control boxes for the warmth. They can pack a box full, short the terminals and ruin a board. If you open the box and find a nest, do not reach in. Switch off the power and call us.

Lightning and power

Open land and long wire runs make gates on acreage more exposed to lightning surges. A board that died after a storm may not be the only damaged part, so we test the inputs, the wiring and the safety devices before calling the job done. When you call, give us your cross street, such as Country Club Road or Angel Parkway.
