Why does my gate drag on the ground in Gold Coast?

Almost always the hinge post rather than the gate. Posts soften at ground level where moisture and oxygen meet, the post leans under the gate's weight, and the leading edge drops. Repairing only the gate leaf does not last - the post and hinge line have to be corrected first.

Do you repair pool gates so they comply?

Yes. Queensland requires a pool gate to swing away from the pool and to self-close and self-latch from any position. Most faults in Gold Coast are worn spring hinges, a dropped post or a misaligned magnetic latch, all single visit repairs. Where the gate or fence layout itself will not comply we tell you what has to change.

Our gate repairs service on the Gold Coast

Sagging gates and post repairs

We check the post first: is it plumb, is it sound below ground, is the footing intact. Posts are re-plumbed or replaced with a new concrete footing, then the gate is squared and rehung so it swings and latches properly rather than being propped with extra hinges.

Pool gate repairs and compliance

Spring hinge replacement, magnetic latch alignment and post correction to restore self-closing and self-latching operation. Where the configuration itself will not pass a pool safety inspection, we scope what has to change instead of adjusting a gate that is going to fail anyway.

Hardware, driveway gates and new gates

Latches, drop bolts, centre stops and coastal-grade hinges, plus alignment on double driveway gates. Where a gate is past repair we build a new one in matching timber and height so it reads as part of the original fence.

Why gates fail near the coast

Within a few streets of the water in Gold Coast, standard zinc hardware corrodes quickly, the screws rust in the post and the hinge plate works loose under normal use. Upgrading to stainless or hot dip galvanised hardware during the repair costs very little and prevents the same call again in a couple of years.

Storm damage and impact repairs

Summer storms in Gold Coast take out gates through fallen branches, wind loading on solid-panel gates and water sitting against posts. We make the property secure first, then quote the permanent repair, and where the damage is claimable we scope it in a form your insurer can work with.

What gate repairs cost on the Gold Coast (2026)

Hinge, latch and alignment repairs typically run $180-$450. Post replacement with a new concrete footing generally runs $350-$800 per post, and a new side gate built to match your fence usually falls between $700 and $1,600. Pricing moves with access, the condition of what is already there, the amount of structural work involved and the level of finish you choose. We inspect the property first and put the number in writing as a fixed price, so there is no allowance-based guesswork.

How long gate repairs take

Most gate repairs are completed in a single visit. Where a post is replaced the gate is rehung the same day and the footing continues curing afterwards.
