Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to lean in Portland's wet climate?
The primary cause is soil saturation from frequent rain. Over time, the ground around a fence post becomes soft, especially if the post wasn't set deep enough or with proper drainage. This leads to the post shifting under the weight of the fence. Ben's Garage Doors & Gates addresses this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using gravel at the base for drainage, ensuring your fence stays upright for years.
What are the signs that my automatic gate opener needs repair?
Common signs include the gate moving slowly, making grinding noises, reversing unexpectedly, or not responding to the remote. These often point to a worn motor, misaligned sensors, or a damaged gear. If you notice any of these, it's best to call Ben's Garage Doors & Gates for a diagnosis. We can often repair the opener on-site, saving you the cost of a full replacement.
How can I convert my manual driveway gate to an automatic one?
Converting a manual gate to automatic involves installing a gate opener, mounting brackets, safety sensors, and wiring for power. It's a job that requires precise alignment and electrical knowledge. Ben's Garage Doors & Gates handles the entire conversion process. We first assess your gate's weight and condition, then recommend a suitable opener. The result is a convenient, keyless entry system for your Portland home.
