Common causes
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.
Post movement
Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the manual gate repairs lining up, closing or locking correctly.
Weather exposure
Melbourne weather, moisture and temperature changes can corrode hardware, affect materials and gradually reduce reliable movement.
Repeated impact
A vehicle, forced movement or another impact can bend frames, tracks or hardware and shift connected components out of position.
