5 Star Fence | Professional Fence Installation in Dothan, AL

Over time, gate sagging is usually caused by loose hinges, a settling post, or the weight of the gate pulling on its hardware. In Dothan's humid climate, wooden gates may also warp. Our team tightens or replaces hinges, re-levels posts, and adds anti-sag kits to restore proper alignment.

Signs include the gate not latching shut, the latch sticking, or the gate swinging open on its own. You might also notice rust, bending, or loose screws on the latch mechanism. We can assess and repair or replace the latch quickly to ensure your gate closes securely.

In most cases, only the latch or its components need replacement—not the entire gate. We stock universal latches that fit most residential gates. If the gate itself is damaged, we'll advise on repair or replacement options, but a broken latch alone is a simple fix.
