Swing Gate Repair for Every Gate and Opener
Fix the Gate First, Then the Opener
A swing gate hangs all of its weight on two or three hinges and a post, then asks an opener arm to push it open and pull it closed hundreds of times a year. When a hinge wears, a post leans in Houston’s clay soil or the leaf starts to sag, the opener has to fight the gate, and that’s when arms bend, motors burn out and gates stop short. We check the hinges, posts, leaves and opener together and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
We’re licensed and offer same-day and 24-hour swing gate repair for homes, HOAs and businesses across Houston. The estimate is free and covers your options, including when a new opener or a rebuilt gate makes more sense. If only the opener has failed, see our gate opener repair service.

Six Swing Gate Problems and Where We Look First
Swing gates fail in a few predictable ways. Here’s what Houston property owners call us about most, and what we check first.
Gate Sagging or Dragging
Worn or undersized hinges, loose hinge bolts, a leaning post or a frame that has racked. We re-hang the gate, add anti-sag support, upgrade hinges or reset the post so the gate swings level again.
Gate Won’t Close All the Way
A sagging leaf hitting the ground or the stop, an opener limit that has drifted, or leaves that no longer meet. We realign the gate and reset the opener limits.
Dual Gates Out of Sync
On dual swing gates, one leaf opens late, closes first or the two hit each other. We adjust the leaf delay, limits and arms so both open and close together and meet cleanly.
Opener Arm Bent or Grinding
Linear and articulated arms bend when a gate is hit or forced, and actuators wear from fighting a heavy gate. We straighten or replace arms, brackets and actuators.
Gate Stops or Reverses
A gate that binds, a force setting that’s off, or a blocked or misaligned photo eye. We fix the binding, adjust force and limits and test the safety sensors.
Hinges Squeaking or Broken
Dry, rusted or cracked hinges and worn bushings. We lubricate, rebuild or replace hinges with heavy-duty ones rated for the gate’s weight.
Swing Gate Repair by Gate and Opener Type
Dual Gates, Arm Openers, Underground Operators and Hinges
Every swing gate setup fails in its own way. Pick yours below to see what we check and how we fix it.
DUAL SWING GATE REPAIR IN HOUSTON, TX
Dual swing gates look great across a wide driveway, but two leaves mean twice the hinges, two arms and a timing setting that has to stay right. We repair leaves that sag or drift, gates that collide or don’t meet, worn latches and center stops, and dual swing gate openers that run out of sync.
We set leaf delay and limits so the leaves open and close in order every time. For full driveway gates, see driveway gate repair.
FIX MY DUAL GATE
AUTOMATIC SWING GATE OPENER REPAIR IN HOUSTON, TX
Linear actuators and articulated arm openers from LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Apollo, Ghost Controls, Viking and others fail at the motor, gears, actuator rod, brackets or control board. We repair or replace the failed parts, re-mount bent brackets and reset limits and force.
Solar and battery swing gate openers often fail on the power side, so we test those too. See gate opener battery tips.
FIX MY SWING OPENER
UNDERGROUND SWING GATE OPERATOR REPAIR IN HOUSTON, TX
Underground swing gate operators keep the gate clean-looking, but they sit in a foundation box where Houston rain collects. We repair flooded or seized operators, failed motors, worn gearboxes and linkages, and clear drainage so the box doesn’t fill again.
If the operator is beyond repair, we can quote a replacement or an above-ground opener. See gate motor repair.
FIX MY UNDERGROUND OPERATOR
SWING GATE HINGE & POST REPAIR IN HOUSTON, TX
Most swing gate problems start at the hinges and posts. We replace worn, rusted and undersized hinges with heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges, reset or replace leaning posts, add anti-sag kits and braces, and weld or reinforce gate frames that have racked.
Wood and iron swing gates both covered. See residential gate repair or wrought iron gate repair.
FIX MY SAGGING GATE
EMERGENCY Swing Gate Repair in Houston, TX
Gate Stuck Open, Off Its Hinges or Hit by a Vehicle? Call Now.
A swing gate that’s stuck open leaves your property exposed, and one that’s dragging, off its hinges or stuck closed can block your driveway entirely. Vehicle strikes, storms, broken hinges and failed openers don’t keep business hours, so we offer same-day and 24-hour swing gate repair across Houston and get the gate secured and working again.
Call as soon as it’s safe. The estimate is free. If you need to open an automatic swing gate by hand, ask us how to use the opener’s manual release safely, and keep clear of a gate that’s hanging loose.

Repair or Replace Your Swing Gate? How to Decide for Your Houston Property
Most swing gate problems can be repaired, but not all of them should be. It comes down to the condition of the gate frame, the hinges and posts, the age of the opener, and how often it has failed.
When Repair Is Enough
If the frame is solid, repair almost always wins. Hinges, posts, latches, arms, actuators and control boards can all be replaced on their own, and a gate that started sagging or stalling recently usually needs adjusting and new hardware, not a new gate.
When Replacement Makes Sense
Consider replacement when the gate is rotted, rusted or racked beyond repair, the opener is undersized for the gate and keeps failing, or parts are discontinued. We price both options, including new gate installation and new swing gate openers.
How Much Does Swing Gate Repair Cost?
It depends on what failed. Hinge work, alignment or a limit adjustment usually costs much less than a new arm, actuator, underground operator or post. We give a free estimate after we inspect the gate. For typical Houston price ranges, see our gate repair cost guide.

What to Ask Before You Hire a Gate Repair Company
The cheapest quote often replaces the opener and ignores the gate. A new opener on a sagging gate will fail again, and a gate re-hung on a leaning post will sag again. These questions separate technicians who diagnose from those who guess.
- Do they test before they replace? Ask whether they check the hinges, posts and gate before quoting a new opener.
- Is the estimate clear and itemized? Parts, labor, and what’s included, so you can compare repair against replacement.
- Do they fix the gate, not just the opener? Single and dual swing gates, arm and underground openers, wood and iron gates.
- Are they licensed and insured? Ask for proof of both before any work starts.
- Do they test the safety sensors? A repaired gate should reverse when something is in its path, and the technician should show you.
- Can you see real reviews and job photos? Local proof beats a generic website.
At Houston Gate Repair, we inspect the hinges, posts, leaves and opener, explain what we find, and give you repair and replacement options with a free estimate before you decide.

Swing Gate Repair Questions, Answered
Quick Answers Before You Call
How do you fix a sagging swing gate?
It depends on the cause. Worn or undersized hinges get replaced with heavy-duty ones, a leaning post gets reset or replaced, and a racked frame gets an anti-sag kit, a brace or welding. Simply lifting the gate without fixing the post or hinges only works for a few weeks, so we find what’s causing the sag first.
Why won’t my swing gate close all the way?
Usually the gate has sagged and is hitting the ground or the stop, the opener’s close limit has drifted, or on a dual gate the leaves are out of sync. A blocked or misaligned photo eye can also stop the gate short. We realign the gate and reset the limits and sensors.
Why are my dual swing gates out of sync?
The leaf delay setting may be off, one arm may be bent or worn, or one leaf may be sagging and dragging. We adjust the delay, limits and arms and fix the sagging leaf so both gates open and close in order and meet cleanly.
Can you repair automatic swing gate openers?
Yes. We repair linear and articulated arm openers and underground operators from LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Apollo, Ghost Controls, Viking, BFT, FAAC and others, including motors, actuators, gears, brackets, control boards and batteries. See gate opener repair for more.
Do you repair underground swing gate operators?
Yes. We repair flooded, seized and worn underground operators, replace motors and gearboxes, and fix drainage so the foundation box doesn’t fill with water again. If the operator can’t be saved, we’ll quote a replacement.
How long does swing gate repair take?
Many repairs, like hinge replacement, alignment or limit adjustments, can be done in one visit. Post replacement, welding or a new opener can take longer if parts need to be ordered. You’ll know the timeline and the cost before any work starts.
Should I repair or replace my swing gate?
Repair usually makes sense when the frame is solid and the problem is hinges, posts, arms or the opener. Replacement makes more sense when the gate is rotted, badly rusted or racked, or the opener is undersized and keeps failing.
Do you repair wood and wrought iron swing gates?
Yes. We repair wood swing gates that sag, warp or rot, and wrought iron and steel swing gates with rust, broken welds or bent bars, along with their hinges, posts and openers.
Do you offer swing gate repair near me in Spring, Cypress and Katy?
Yes. We repair swing gates across Greater Houston, including Spring, Cypress, Katy, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Pearland and League City. Call us with your address and we’ll confirm the earliest visit.
