Parts we install
Premium, Long-Lasting Gate Parts
The part decides how long the repair lasts. Here is what we fit, and what the cheap version costs you later.
Gate Operators
The operator is the motor that moves the gate. It absorbs every open and close, so its duty rating decides how many years you get out of it.
What we install
We install operators sized to the real weight of the gate and its daily cycle count, with a metal gear train, a soft start and stop, and a proper manual release.
What other companies fit
An undersized residential operator on a heavy gate runs at its limit on every cycle. Plastic gear trains strip, the motor overheats, and the unit is finished in a couple of seasons.
Hinges
Hinges carry the entire weight of a swing gate. A gate that sags almost always has a hinge problem, not a gate problem.
What we install
We use heavy welded steel hinges with greasable bearings and adjustable posts, so the gate can be brought back to level later without cutting anything apart.
What other companies fit
Light bolt-on hinges with a plain steel pin wear oval within a year or two. The gate drops on the latch side, drags on the driveway, and starts binding the operator.
Chains and Racks
A sliding gate is driven either by a chain or by a toothed rack. Either way, that part takes the shock on every start and every stop.
What we install
We fit galvanized heavy-pitch chain, or steel rack welded on a straight line and tensioned properly, so the load spreads across several teeth at once.
What other companies fit
Thin unplated chain rusts and stretches until it jumps the sprocket, and plastic rack teeth shear off in cold weather and leave the gate stuck in the driveway.
Control Boards
The control board is the electronics that read your remote, your keypad and your safety sensors. It also takes the first hit in a power surge.
What we install
We install boards with a conformal coating and surge protection, mounted in a sealed weather-rated enclosure and properly grounded.
What other companies fit
A bare board in a loose plastic box collects condensation and insects. One nearby strike or one wet week and the gate stops responding to anything at all.
Safety Photo Eyes
Photo eyes are the beam across the driveway that stops the gate when something is in the way. They are the difference between a nuisance and an accident.
What we install
We install sealed weather-rated photo eyes on solid brackets, aligned and tested, and wired so that a sensor fault stops the gate instead of being ignored.
What other companies fit
Unsealed indoor-grade eyes on flimsy brackets drift out of alignment with the first bump, and the shortcut fix is to bypass the safety input so it stops tripping.
Our story
Doing It This Way Since 2001.
Hal builds gates in his own shop and you can drive there and look at it. He repairs what other companies want to replace, welds on site rather than taking your gate away for a fortnight, and gets genuinely annoyed on your behalf when he finds safety sensors somebody bypassed.
A real American surname that happens to contain the trade, which nobody planned and everybody remembers.

What Our Customers Say
Homeowners in every market we serve, in their own words.
★★★★★
"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
★★★★★
"He builds the gates himself in his own shop. You can go and look at it. That is not something you can say about the outfits that just order a panel in."
★★★★★
"Welded the hinge back onto our wrought iron gate on site rather than taking it away for a fortnight. Ground it back and painted it and you cannot see the repair."
★★★★★
"Fitted a keypad and an intercom so my mother can let carers in without coming down the drive. He set it up and then made her practise with it until she was comfortable."
★★★★☆
"Beautiful gate and solid work. The build took about three weeks longer than the estimate because he was waiting on the ironwork, and I would rather have known that at the start than found out along the way."
★★★★★
"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
★★★★★
"Hundred and forty feet of cedar privacy fence, all posts set in concrete, all of it dead level on ground that is anything but. He walked the line with me twice before a single hole was dug."
★★★★★
"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
★★★★★
"He came out in the snow to get our gate closed after a delivery lorry clipped it, then came back in the spring to do the proper repair when the ground had thawed. Only charged for the second visit."
