Worn or rusted gate hinges replaced with new hardware. Gate swings properly, closes smoothly, no more scraping.
### Gates That Actually Work
A gate's meant to swing smoothly and close without drama. When hinges wear out - and they all do eventually - you get sagging, scraping, and that annoying creak every time someone uses it. **Twenty minutes with the right hinges sorts it.**
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If your gate's sagging, check the hinges first before assuming you need a whole new gate. Nine times out of ten, fresh hinges fix it for a fraction of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gate Hinge Replacement in Teignmouth
Can you just replace the hinges without taking the gate off?
Depends on the hinge type. Most modern hinges can be swapped while the gate's in place, which is quicker. Older pinned hinges usually mean lifting the gate off. I'll assess when I arrive and use whatever method gets the job done fastest.
Will new hinges fix my sagging gate?
If the sag is just from worn hinges, absolutely. But if the gate frame itself is twisted or the posts are out of plumb, we'll need to address those too. I'll be honest about what's needed when I see it.
Do you bring the hinges or do I need to buy them?
I carry common sizes and styles in the van. For specialty hinges or if you want a specific finish, I can grab them from a local supplier - just adds a bit of time. Photos help me bring the right ones first time.
How long before I can use the gate again?
Immediately. Hinge replacement is mechanical, nothing needs to cure or set. Once they're on and tested, you're good to go. I'll give it a few swings to make sure everything's smooth before I leave.
