We understand that a gates’ functionality matters and we have continued to improve on our system over the years.
The most common causes of a poorly functioning gate are gate sag and post deflection. In order to ensure your Absolute gate functions properly we set gate posts 3 feet in the ground in wet concrete. We use steel stiffener on vinyl and on larger gates we use solid steel posts. We incorporate turnbuckles and wind brace kits on all double gates and only use stainless steel drop rods and hinges.

Fence Gate Maintenance and Repair
A well-maintained fence gate not only enhances the functionality and security of your property but also adds to its overall curb appeal. Whether it’s a wood, vinyl, steel, or any other material, proper maintenance of your fence gate is essential for its longevity and smooth operation. Regular upkeep can prevent issues such as sagging, sticking, or damage, ensuring that your gate continues to serve its purpose effectively. Here are four valuable tips to help you maintain your fence gate and keep it in optimal condition:
- Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the hinges, latch, and moving parts of your fence gate to prevent friction and ensure smooth operation. Use a suitable lubricant, such as silicone spray or graphite powder, to reduce wear and tear and minimize the risk of squeaking or sticking.
- Alignment and Adjustments: Periodically check the alignment of your fence gate and make necessary adjustments to ensure it hangs level and closes securely. Loose screws or hinges should be tightened, and any misalignments or gaps should be corrected promptly to maintain proper functionality and security.
- Cleaning and Painting: Clean your fence gate regularly to remove dirt, debris, and grime that can accumulate over time. For wood gates, consider applying a protective sealant or paint to shield the material from moisture and UV damage. Vinyl and metal gates can benefit from a gentle cleaning with a mild detergent solution to maintain their appearance and prevent corrosion.
- Gate Hardware Inspection: Inspect the hardware components of your fence gate, including the latch, hinges, and handles, for any signs of wear or damage. Replace worn-out parts promptly to ensure reliable operation and prevent further deterioration. Additionally, check for any loose or missing screws or bolts and tighten or replace them as needed.
By following these maintenance tips, you can keep your fence gate in excellent condition, ensuring its smooth operation and enhancing the overall appearance of your property. Regular lubrication, alignment checks, cleaning, and hardware inspections are key to maintaining the longevity and functionality of your gate, providing you with years of convenience and security.
