Gate repair in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Tightening or replacing loose hinge screws and upgrading to heavier hinges set into solid post wood.
• Adding a diagonal brace or an anti-sag cable kit so the gate frame stays square.
• Re-plumbing or re-setting a leaning hinge post and realigning the latch so the gate closes cleanly.

How it works

1. Check whether the gate frame, the hinges or the post is what is moving.
2. Square the gate and brace it from the bottom hinge corner up to the top latch corner.
3. Reset the hinges, re-plumb or re-set the post if needed, and adjust the latch.
4. Referred out: automatic gate openers and their wiring go to a gate company or licensed electrician.

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; if the hinge post itself is failing, post replacement is quoted separately in writing.
• Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

(East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.
