Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Garland, TX 75043 - CM Renovations

Frequent causes include weather exposure—humidity and heat can warp wood or rust metal hardware—and daily wear from heavy use. Loose hinges or settling fence posts also misalign the latch, making it stick or not catch. A simple inspection can identify if it's a latch issue or a sign of deeper gate sag.

Look for signs like rotting wood, loose railings, or nails popping up. If only a few boards are damaged, repair is often enough.

We can assess your deck in Garland to give you a clear answer.
