Gate Repair in North Potomac, MD

A North Potomac fence built in the eighties often has a gate that was never braced, and thirty years later the frame has quietly turned into a parallelogram.

A rectangle made of four boards will fold unless something holds it corner to corner. North Potomac gate repair usually means squaring the leaf back up and then adding the diagonal that should have gone in when it was built, so it stops folding again.

What Affects the Cost of Gate Repair in North Potomac, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. How far the frame has gone decides the method. A leaf pulled an inch out of square comes back with clamps and a brace. One that's twisted, with joints opened and screws torn through, needs the corners remade before bracing means anything. The state of the wood at the hinge edge tells us which we're looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions

It means the frame has folded rather than the post moving. Wood gates carry their weight diagonally, and without a brace running from the low hinge corner up to the high latch corner, gravity slowly pulls the rectangle over. The bottom of the latch side ends up out of line first. Squaring it and adding the diagonal stops it there.

A wooden brace goes in compression, running from the bottom of the hinge side up toward the latch side, so it props the corner that wants to drop. A steel cable does the opposite job and runs the other way, pulling the high hinge corner down. Both work. What doesn't work is a board fitted the wrong way round, which is common and does nothing.
