Authement Services | Trusted Fence Builders in Kenner, LA

The high humidity in Kenner often causes wooden gate posts to rot or warp, leading to sagging and sticking. It can also cause metal hinges to rust and bind. At Authement Services, we diagnose the root cause—whether it's a rotted post, a bent hinge, or a swollen gate panel—and provide targeted repairs. We can replace the post, realign the gate, or install weather-resistant hardware to keep your gate swinging freely for years.

Yes, frequent lock failures are common here due to moisture and humidity corroding the internal components of automatic gate locks. This can cause the lock to jam or fail to engage. Our team can inspect the entire system, clean and lubricate the mechanism, or replace the lock with a more weather-resistant model. We also recommend adding a weatherproof cover or housing to protect the lock from the elements.

The best defense is regular weatherproofing. Authement Services offers professional fence staining and sealing that penetrates the wood to repel moisture. We also check for signs of rot or insect damage and make necessary repairs before sealing. For new fences, we recommend pressure-treated lumber or composite materials that are more resistant to humidity. Proper drainage around fence posts is also critical to prevent water pooling and rot.
