Commercial Fencing Yelm WA | Call Double Ds fencing

The high humidity and frequent rain in Yelm accelerate rust on standard steel fence hardware. Moisture gets trapped in hinges and latches, leading to corrosion that weakens the metal and causes gates to sag or stick. Using galvanized or stainless steel hardware can prevent this, and regular cleaning helps remove moisture-trapping debris.

Signs include difficulty latching, a loose handle, or the gate swinging open on its own. If the latch is rusted or bent, it may need replacement. If it's just misaligned due to a sagging gate, we can adjust the hardware or replace it. Our electric repair service can also fix automated gate systems that fail due to faulty wiring or components.

Yes, in most cases we can replace just the rusted hinge with a corrosion-resistant model. We'll also check the gate post and frame for damage. If the hinge screws have stripped the wood, we can reinforce the area. This saves you money and keeps your fence functional without a full replacement.
