- Improve swing
- Test operation
Planning the work
Follow the misalignment from the latch back to the posts
Tell us whether the gate has dropped, a post moves, or the latch no longer meets its catch. Replacing hardware alone may not resolve damaged or moving supports. Include the gate width and any access restrictions in the request.
Photograph the gate open and closed, including the latch, both hinges, and supporting posts. Say where it catches and whether the problem developed gradually or followed an impact. Include the gate width and the ground below the swing. A new latch can still miss its catch when the gate or post has moved.
Hardware adjustment, gate-frame repair, and post replacement are different scopes. If the support is loose or deteriorated, replacing a hinge alone may not solve the problem. Send the model of any new latch or hinges already purchased. Also mention pets, access from the other side, and anything that limits leaving the opening unsecured during work. Rebuilding the gate, setting new posts, and finishing replacement wood should be named separately when required.
