Why the problem happens

Common causes

Impact

A vehicle, forced movement or another impact can bend frames, tracks or hardware and shift connected components out of position.

Hinge failure

Hinges carry the moving weight of the system. Wear, loose fixings or bending can allow the panel or gate to drop and move out of alignment.

Post movement

Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the gate lining up, closing or locking correctly.

Sudden hardware breakage

Repeated use wears contact surfaces, bearings and fixings. Checking the affected hardware helps determine whether adjustment or replacement is appropriate.
