FAQs
How do you prevent wood fence warping in Glendale's extreme heat?
Glendale's intense summer sun can cause wood fences to dry out, warp, and crack. At Az Custom Gates & Welding, we address this by carefully selecting heat-treated or kiln-dried lumber that is less prone to warping. During installation, we leave proper expansion gaps and use stainless steel fasteners that resist heat-related corrosion. We also recommend and apply a high-quality UV-resistant stain or weatherproofing sealant that reflects sunlight and reduces moisture loss from the wood. For existing fences, we can repair warped sections and apply protective coatings to extend the life of your fence.
What types of automatic gate installations do you offer for residential properties?
We install a variety of automatic gate systems suitable for homes in Glendale, including sliding gates for driveways with limited space and swing gates for wider entrances. Our service includes running underground conduit for power, setting up safety sensors and photo eyes, and programming remote access and keypad entry systems. We work with brands known for reliability in our climate, ensuring the motor and control boards are protected against dust and heat. Whether you need a new automatic gate or an upgrade to an existing manual gate, we handle the full installation from start to finish.
Can you repair a broken gate latch, and how quickly can you respond in Glendale?
Yes, broken gate latches are a frequent service call for us, especially after a heat wave. The metal components can expand, bind, or break, and plastic parts often fail in direct sun. We carry a stock of heavy-duty, heat-resistant latches and can often replace a broken latch the same day for Glendale residents. Our repair service covers all types of latches, including self-latching, keyed, and magnetic releases. We are based near the Glendale Sports Complex, so response times to most neighborhoods in the city are short. Give us a call, and we will get your gate secure again.
