The neighborhoods were built fast in the 1980s and 1990s, the red clay under them shifts constantly, and a lot of the gate hardware is reaching the end of its life at the same time.

Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Peachtree Corners’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001. The name is on the shop, the address is published, and the license number is there for anyone to look up. That matters in Peachtree Corners more than most places, because a lot of the gates we work on belong to HOAs where a board member has to answer to thirty neighbors. They don’t call a faceless franchise. They call somebody whose work they’ll see at the pool gate for the next decade.
Our crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, and we do the welding on site, in your driveway or at the community entrance. We don’t haul your gate back to a shop. We fix it where it hangs. Every job we do in Peachtree Corners, whether it’s a single-family driveway gate near Technology Park Atlanta or a slide gate at a subdivision entrance in 30092, carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround, no ticket number, just the owner showing up to make it right.
Our Gate Repair Services in Peachtree Corners
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gate systems in Peachtree Corners fail in patterns we can almost predict. The humidity eats at wiring terminals, the control boards on 1990s-era operators develop dead relays, and the loop detectors under the asphalt stop sensing vehicles. We service the operator, the wiring, the entry system, and the safety sensors as one unit, because that’s how they fail. If your gate opens on command half the time and ignores you the other half, call us before it strands you in the driveway with a car full of groceries.

Automatic Gate Repair
Automatic gate repair in Peachtree Corners usually starts with asking whether the gate has ever been serviced at all. Many of the operators we see along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard were installed when the neighborhoods went in and have never had a capacitor, limit switch, or drive chain replaced. We tune the operator, correct the travel limits, and replace worn mechanical parts before they shear off. Where an operator is truly dead and parts are obsolete, we’ll tell you that plainly and give you options for a modern replacement that fits the existing gate frame, so you’re not paying to rebuild the whole entrance.

Hinge & Post Repair
Here’s a local truth about Peachtree Corners gates: a gate sags because the post leans, not because the panel got tired. The red clay under Gwinnett County expands in spring rain and contracts in August drought, and over thirty years that works hinge posts out of plumb a few degrees at a time. We re-foot posts, weld cracked brackets, and replace worn barrel hinges with heavier versions rated for the weight of the gate plus the lean it’ll see next spring. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.

Gate Realignment
Gate realignment in Peachtree Corners is rarely just a matter of turning a few bolts. The brick and stacked-stone columns everyone built here in the 1980s settle unevenly, which means the gate hangs about half an inch lower at the latch end and drags on the stop. We correct the hinge geometry, shim or re-foot as needed, and reset the frame so the gate closes square. Then we adjust the operator travel to match the new arc, because if the operator still runs the old travel limits, you’ll see the same fault within a month.

Trusted Brands We Service in Peachtree Corners
We service door operators and access systems from FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, Ghost Controls, and Mighty Mule. In Peachtree Corners specifically, a lot of the calls involve Linear AE and DoorKing telephone entry systems that reached end of life years ago and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. We keep common replacement parts and retrofit kits on the truck for those legacy systems, which means less waiting when an HOA entrance goes down. And because we service rather than swap, we can often adapt a newer FAAC or BFT operator to your existing gate frame and columns without tearing up the entrance.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Peachtree Corners Homes
- Obsolete telephone entry systems. The 1990s DoorKing and Linear AE panels installed in hundreds of Peachtree Corners HOA entrances are beyond repair. Keypads glitch, dial-out memory corrupts, and replacement circuit boards haven’t been made in years. Our Gate Repair team will retrofit a modern keypad or smartphone-based system that still works with your existing operator.
- Leaning brick gate columns. Gwinnett County red clay swells and shrinks, and the stacked-stone columns built in the 1980s and 1990s were set on shallow footings by today’s standards. We see columns tilted far enough to pinch the gate frame, split the veneer, and bind the operator. Re-footing and re-plumbing the post fixes the disease, not just the symptom.
- Corroded hinges and springs. High summer humidity in Peachtree Corners gets into exposed hardware and doesn’t leave. We replace rusted-through hinge pins and spring assemblies before they snap, because a snapped spring on a 400-pound gate is dangerous for whoever is standing nearby.
- Safety sensor failures. Photo eyes and safety edges fail quietly. The gate keeps opening and closing, but it no longer reverses when a car or child is in the path. This is a true safety issue. We test every sensor as part of any service call and will not send a gate back into operation without functioning entrapment protection.

FAQs - Gate Repair in Peachtree Corners
The red clay under Gwinnett County absorbs spring rain and swells, then contracts during summer drought. Over 30-plus years, that cycle works shallow footings out of level, especially on the brick and stone columns that were standard in Peachtree Corners subdivisions built during that era. The fix is re-footing the post and re-plumbing the frame, not just shimming the hinges. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll tell you if your lean is structural or something simpler.
In most cases, those systems need replacement. DoorKing and Linear AE stopped manufacturing replacement control boards years ago, and units from that era in Peachtree Corners are simply past service life. We can retrofit a modern keypad entry or smartphone-based system that mounts to your existing column and talks to your current gate operator, typically for $400 to $800 on top of the operator work.
It’s usually the post. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and when the post leans out of plumb the latch end drops and drags. Show me the gate dragging and I’ll show you where the post is failing. We fix the post, not the panel, and the sag goes away. Call (877) 610-2993 for a measured answer you can actually act on.
Yes. UL 325 and current gate safety standards require functioning entrapment protection devices, which means photo eyes, safety edges, or both, depending on the gate type and installation date. A gate with dead sensors is a gate that could close on a person or car. We test every sensor on every call and will not leave a gate running without working entrapment protection.
In Peachtree Corners specifically, we typically find that the gate has been slightly out of plumb for years and nobody noticed. The operator at the HOA entrance fights the bind every single cycle, pulling more amperage, and the heat makes it worse. The motor burns out because it’s working against a leaning post, not because it’s old. We fix the bind first, then the operator, and the burn-outs stop. Call (877) 610-2993 and ask us to check the post before buying another motor.
If your gate in Peachtree Corners is leaning, dragging, or refusing to respond, call us at (877) 610-2993. A live person answers, day or night, and we’ll set a window we keep. The price gets quoted before we start, in writing, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise comes with it.
