Wood and Vinyl Fencing Tacoma WA | Call Security Barricade

Gate latch failures often stem from rust, misalignment from settling ground, or worn-out hardware due to frequent use in our damp Tacoma climate. Security Barricade can realign the gate, replace corroded latches with weather-resistant options, and adjust hinges to ensure smooth operation. Regular maintenance can prevent future issues.

Tacoma's high rainfall and shade from nearby trees like those around Wright Park create ideal conditions for mold and mildew on fences. Security Barricade provides professional cleaning with eco-friendly treatments to remove mold, followed by sealing or painting to protect wood. For persistent problems, they may recommend replacing affected sections with mold-resistant materials.

Signs include difficulty latching, the gate swinging open on its own, or visible rust and corrosion. If the latch is bent or the gate frame is sagging, a repair may suffice. However, if the mechanism is severely rusted or broken, Security Barricade will recommend a replacement with a durable, local-climate-appropriate latch to ensure long-term security.
