Common Questions
How can I prevent my automatic gate from jamming during a power outage?
At Team Wrought Iron, we address this by installing automatic gates with manual release mechanisms, so you can operate the gate by hand if the power goes out. We also recommend scheduling periodic checks to ensure the backup battery and release system are functioning properly, which is especially helpful during Van Nuys's occasional power fluctuations.
What should I do if my gate lock keeps sticking or failing?
Gate lock failures are a common issue in Van Nuys due to dust and heat. We recommend cleaning the lock mechanism regularly with a dry lubricant. If the problem persists, give us a call. We can replace worn tumblers or upgrade to a heavy-duty lock that resists jamming, ensuring your gate stays secure.
Do you offer weatherproofing services for fences exposed to wildfire smoke and embers?
Yes, we provide fence weatherproofing specifically designed for wildfire-prone areas like Van Nuys. This includes applying fire-resistant sealants and using non-combustible materials for repairs. We also check for gaps or damage that could allow embers to penetrate, helping protect your property near neighborhoods like Sherman Oaks or Lake Balboa.
