Gate Repair Services We Offer in New South Memphis
Gate Repair
Sagging gates, broken hinges, misaligned latches, rusted frames, and gates that have taken one too many bumps from delivery trucks. In New South Memphis, we regularly find that the real problem isn’t the gate at all but posts set only 18-24 inches deep in the 1960s, far too shallow for Memphis’s expansive clay-loess soils. We sister or re-set the post, then rebuild the hardware. Learn more about our Gate Repair in New South Memphis.
Gate Installation
New ornamental iron, aluminum, or chain-link gates for New South Memphis homes and commercial properties. We measure for proper post depth given local soil conditions, set concrete footings that won’t heave after wet winters, and hang the gate so it still swings true a decade later. Learn more about our Gate Installation in New South Memphis.
Gate Motor & Opener
Automation repair and replacement for swing, slide, and barrier gate operators. Our technicians carry diagnostic tools and replacement parts for nine major brands, so a failed Ghost Controls or Viking operator in the Westwood area doesn’t mean a week of manual operation. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in New South Memphis.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, remotes, telephone entry systems, and card readers for New South Memphis Gate Access Control on residential driveways and warehouse yards. We troubleshoot intermittent signals, replace weather-damaged components, and upgrade older systems to modern standards without replacing the entire gate.
Gate Parts & Welding
On-site Gate Parts & Welding in New South Memphis for broken frames, custom hinge brackets, and post reinforcement. The humid Memphis summers and ice-storm winters crack welds that were barely adequate when new. We cut out the old, prep the metal, and lay beads that hold.

Why New South Memphis’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
New South Memphis sits on some of the most reactive soil in Shelby County. The heavy clay-loess mixture beneath 38106 expands dramatically after wet winters, then contracts through dry summers. Gates that closed smoothly in October are dragging concrete by March. We’ve learned to check post depth first on every residential call in this ZIP code, because a beautiful new hinge install will twist out of alignment within a season if the post is still sitting in 1960s-era concrete only two feet down.
The housing stock tells the same story. The brick and wood-frame bungalows and shotgun homes that dominate Westwood and Walker Homes were built with perimeter fencing installed in the 1950s through 1970s. That original chain-link has seen sixty years of Memphis humidity, which accelerates surface rust on exposed steel hinges and latches, and periodic ice storms that shock-load gate hardware and crack aging welds. We see it every February: the freeze-thaw cycle finishes what summer humidity started, and the phone rings with gates that won’t close or open.
Commercial properties near the rail yards face a different stress. Heavy-duty sliding gates serving warehouse and logistics operations take impacts from delivery vehicles, vibration from constant truck traffic, and the same soil movement that shifts residential posts. The welding here isn’t decorative, it’s structural, and it has to hold against tonnage.

FAQs About Gate Repair in New South Memphis
Most residential gate repairs in the 38106 area fall between $180 and $520, with simple hinge or latch work at the lower end and post reset or welding jobs higher. Commercial sliding gate repairs near the freight yards typically run $850-$2,400. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free, exact estimate on your specific gate.
In New South Memphis, chronic sagging usually means the post was never addressed. Many 1960s-era posts sit only 18-24 inches deep in concrete footings too shallow for Memphis’s expansive clay soils. We re-set or sister the post to proper depth, then rebuild the hardware. Without that foundation work, the gate will sag again within a season.
Yes, for most residential automation brands. Our trucks carry diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts for nine major brands including Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing. If your New South Memphis gate motor can be fixed same day, we fix it same day. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule.
For most New South Memphis residential gates built into original 1950s-1970s fencing, repair is the better value if the frame is structurally sound and the post can be stabilized. When the frame is rotted through, the welding is cracked beyond salvage, or the automation is obsolete with no parts availability, we quote replacement honestly. Our free estimates include both options where applicable.
Yes. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we dispatch the on-call technician immediately for gates that are stuck open, stuck closed, or creating a security or safety issue in the 38106 area. Emergency rates apply after hours, and we discuss the full price before dispatching.
