Sagging Fence Gate Repair in McKinney, TX
A sagging gate is almost always caused by one of three things: a failing hinge, a gate post that has shifted, or a gate frame that has racked out of square over time. The fix depends entirely on the cause. Replacing hinges on a post that's still leaning just means the gate sags again in six months. We diagnose the root cause before touching any hardware.

When to Call
When You Need Sagging Fence Gate Repair
- The backyard gate drags on the ground and won't close without lifting it manually.
- A double gate no longer lines up in the center and the latch won't reach.
- Heavy wooden gate hinges pulled out of the post and the gate is hanging by one screw.
- The gate post shifted after a vehicle backed into it and the whole frame is skewed.
How It Works
Our Process for Sagging Fence Gate Repair
- 1
Root Cause Diagnosis
We check the gate post for plumb, test the hinge hardware, and measure the gate frame to find out what actually moved.
- 2
Post Correction if Needed
If the post is off, we address that before touching the gate — otherwise the new hardware fails for the same reason.
- 3
Hinge and Hardware Replacement
We install appropriately sized hinges for the gate's weight and replace any latch hardware that's bent or worn out.
- 4
Gate Adjustment and Test
We swing, latch, and load-test the gate several times before leaving to confirm it operates without binding.
McKinney Context
Why this matters in McKinney
Larger backyard gates for RV access and double-wide drive-through openings are common in McKinney's newer subdivisions, and those heavy gates put serious stress on post footings and hinges. The clay soil movement here is particularly hard on gate posts because even a slight lean amplifies at the far edge of a wide gate.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
A simple hinge swap on a solid post is a short job. If the post needs resetting or the gate frame has twisted and needs rebuilding, that changes the scope considerably. We'll show you exactly what's causing the problem.
