Five Boroughs Iron Work - Brooklyn's Experienced Fencing Company

Frost heave from freezing and thawing cycles causes the ground to expand and contract, shifting fence posts. Signs include leaning posts and sagging gates. We reset posts with deeper concrete footings (below frost line) and use corrosion-resistant hardware to secure them, often combined with gate repair to realign swing.

Corroded hardware shows rust, stiffness, or difficulty opening/closing. Over time, hinges and latches weaken. We replace with galvanized or stainless steel parts, and for automatic gates, we repair motors and sensors affected by moisture. A thorough inspection ensures long-term reliability.

Yes, we specialize in custom automatic gate installations for tight spaces common in Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg or Carroll Gardens. We design sliding or swing gates that maximize clearance, using heavy-duty tracks and motors. We also integrate keypads and remote controls for convenience.
