Michael Cerverizzo & Sons - Brooklyn's Local Commercial Fencing

In Brooklyn's cold winters, moisture can get into hinges, latches, and locking mechanisms, causing them to ice up. This is especially common with older or unsealed hardware. To prevent this, we recommend applying a silicone-based lubricant before winter or installing weather-resistant hardware. If your gate is already frozen, avoid forcing it—call us to safely thaw and repair the mechanism.

Sagging gates are often due to loose hinges, a settling post, or heavy weight over time. In Brooklyn, where many older homes have uneven yard surfaces, posts can shift. The solution may involve adjusting the hinges, replacing worn hardware, or adding a wheel at the bottom for support. Our team can assess the cause and provide a long-lasting repair.

It depends on your needs. Automatic gates offer convenience, especially if you have a driveway or need remote access. However, they require regular maintenance, especially for the motor and sensors. Manual gates are more affordable and simpler but may be less convenient. We can help you decide based on your property layout and usage, and install either type properly.
