Fence Builders Laguna Niguel CA | Call Gary's Iron

The primary cause is exposure to salty ocean air and humidity, which accelerates rust and corrosion. Combined with frequent use, hinges and latches weaken and fail. Our hardware is treated for coastal environments and installed with stainless steel fasteners to prevent future issues.

Look for excessive rot in wood, deep rust pitting in iron, or warping that causes gaps. If posts are loose or sections sway, replacement may be safer than repair. We offer free inspections to assess whether a spot fix or new installation is best for your property.

Often, the hinge pins or latch are worn out. We can replace them with heavy-duty, galvanized hardware. If the gate itself is sagging, we may adjust the frame or install a wheel kit. For severely rusted gates, we fabricate custom replacements that match the original design.
