Fence & Gate Repair in Farmersville, TX | Massey's Fence Installation

Gate sagging usually happens due to loose or rusted hinges, a leaning or rotted fence post, or the weight of the gate itself over time. Our humid Texas summers and occasional heavy rains can weaken wooden posts, while metal gates may suffer from rust at the hinge points. We inspect the entire assembly to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a durable fix.

If the gate won't close or stay shut, first check the latch mechanism: a broken latch will have visible damage or not engage at all. Misalignment often occurs when the gate sags, so the latch and striker don't line up. Try lifting the gate gently—if it closes properly when lifted, sagging is the issue. We can adjust or replace the latch and realign the gate for smooth operation.

The best solution depends on the cause. For a heavy gate, we may install a wheel kit to support the weight or add an anti-sag kit with turnbuckles. If the post is rotted or leaning, we replace it with a concrete-set post. For broken hinges, we replace them with heavy-duty alternatives. We always aim for a long-term fix that accounts for your gate's material and local weather conditions.
