Fence Contractors Sacramento CA | Call GG Construction

In Sacramento, gate locks often stick due to dust, debris, or rust accumulation in the locking mechanism, or from a misaligned latch caused by a settling fence post. We typically start by cleaning and lubricating the lock. If the misalignment is due to post movement, we can realign or replace the latch. If the lock itself is worn out, we can install a new, heavy-duty lock that’s better suited for outdoor conditions. We see this issue frequently near Land Park, where older homes have original hardware.

You usually don't need to replace the whole fence. If the crack is limited to one or two panels, we can replace just those sections with matching wood or composite material. The cause is often temperature fluctuations or ground movement. Our team will assess the integrity of your posts and rails – if those are sound, a panel replacement is a straightforward, cost-effective fix. We do this work throughout neighborhoods like East Sacramento, where older fences are common.

Sagging is usually due to a heavy gate or loose hinges. We recommend installing a tension cable or a turnbuckle kit to pull the gate back into square. Additionally, replacing standard hinges with heavier-duty ones and ensuring the post is plumb and set in concrete makes a huge difference. If your gate is especially wide, we can add a wheel at the bottom for extra support. These upgrades are a smart investment for any Sacramento home, especially in areas like Curtis Park where gates see heavy daily use.
