Gate Alignment Specialists

Preston contains established homes, townhouses, apartments and commercial premises with practical repair and access needs.

Alternative Line Solutions provides gate alignment throughout Preston and nearby suburbs for gates with uneven gaps, scraping edges or latches that no longer meet. A dropped gate may reflect hinge wear, post movement or a change in ground clearance. We assess those factors before adjusting the position of the gate.

We adjust suitable hardware and check how the gate closes against its stops and latch. Gate hinge repairs may be needed if worn supports cannot hold the corrected position. Gate hardware repairs can address a damaged latch or bolt. We explain any structural movement that needs separate attention so an adjustment is not mistaken for a complete solution.

Why the problem happens

Common causes

Post movement

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

Hinge wear

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.

Ground movement

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

Gate weight

We check for gate weight when assessing the gate. The condition of the supporting structure and connected hardware helps determine the repair.

Our approach

How we handle the repair

Assess posts and hinges

We examine the gate, its surrounding components and the reported symptoms to understand how the fault presents in normal use.

Adjust suitable hardware

Clearances, fixings and operating positions are adjusted so the gate can move and engage as intended.
