Kerr Professional Fence | Best Residential Fencing in Calabasas, CA

Leaning posts are often due to expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture changes, or improper installation without concrete footings. Our solution involves removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it into 12 inches of concrete with a gravel base for drainage.

Common signs include grinding noises or intermittent operation. We first check the motor, limit switches, and battery backup. Often, replacing worn gears or adjusting the sensor alignment restores function. For safety, we test the auto-reverse mechanism after every repair.

For our dry climate, we recommend a high-quality semi-transparent stain with UV blockers. Apply two coats every 3-4 years. For automatic gates, use lithium grease on hinges and a silicone-based lubricant on tracks to prevent rust from morning dew.
