Frequently Asked Questions
My gate lock keeps sticking and won't latch properly. What could be causing this?
In Lafayette's humid environment, gate lock failures are often caused by rust buildup, misalignment of the latch due to post settling, or worn internal components. If your gate is metal, corrosion can seize the locking mechanism. If it's a wooden gate attached to a metal post, the wood may swell with moisture, throwing off alignment. A professional can diagnose whether the lock needs replacement, the gate hinge requires adjustment, or the post needs reinforcing to prevent future issues.
How can I tell if my fence posts are eroding, and what's the best solution?
Signs of fence post erosion include visible leaning of the gate or fence, cracks in the concrete around the post base, or rust streaks on metal posts near ground level. In Lafayette, heavy rains and acidic soil accelerate this process. The most durable solution is to excavate the old post, set a new galvanized steel post in a concrete footing that extends below the frost line, and use a metal post base to elevate the wood portion above ground contact. Coccaro can fabricate custom metal post brackets or replacement posts to match your existing fence.
If your tractor or other farm equipment has trouble starting, runs rough, or leaks hydraulic fluid, it likely needs repair. Common causes include clogged fuel filters, worn spark plugs, or damaged hydraulic hoses from debris. For metal components like plow blades or loader buckets, signs of fatigue include cracks, bends, or excessive wear. Coccaro can repair or fabricate replacement parts using heavy-duty steel, restoring your equipment to full working order so you can get back to maintaining your property or farm.
