GTA Fencing Company installs fence gates for homeowners, businesses, and commercial properties across the Greater Toronto Area.

Gates with failing posts or major structural damage are typically best addressed as replacements rather than isolated repairs.

When Homeowners and Businesses Need Gate Work
Most gate projects start because the existing gate is sagging, damaged, hard to open, or no longer secure. These are the most common situations we see.
Sagging or Dragging Gate
The gate no longer swings freely, scrapes the ground, or hangs unevenly due to weak posts or worn hardware.
Latch or Lock Problems
The latch no longer catches, the gate does not stay closed, or the lock mechanism has failed.
New Gate Opening Needed
You are adding a new access point for a side yard, backyard, pool area, or commercial yard.
New Pool Enclosure Gate
You are installing a new pool fence and need a gate that meets municipal self-closing and self-latching requirements from the start.
Gate Types We Install and Repair
Fence gates can be built or repaired for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Wood Privacy Gates
Custom wood gates built to match your fence style for side yards, backyards, and privacy fence openings.
Chain-Link Gates
Walk gates, double swing gates, and commercial access gates for chain-link fence systems.
Pool Gates
New pool gates with self-closing and self-latching hardware, installed as part of a complete pool enclosure project to meet municipal safety requirements.
Commercial and Industrial Gates
Wider access gates for yards, service corridors, warehouses, vehicle access points, and electric gate planning.
Double-Wide Gates
Double gates for garden equipment, vehicle access, and commercial service areas.
Gate and Post Replacement
When a gate is sagging, no longer latching, or the post has failed, we assess whether targeted post reinforcement or a full gate replacement is the right approach.
Gate Types We Install and Repair
Fence gates can be built or repaired for:
- Wood privacy fences
- Chain-link fences
- Pool fences
- Side-yard access
- Backyard access
- Double-wide openings
- Commercial yards
- Industrial sites
- Service corridors
Gate Hardware and Post Strength
Gate performance depends heavily on the posts and hardware. A sagging gate is often caused by weak gate posts, undersized hinges, latch misalignment, soil movement, or repeated use. Quote factors include:
- Gate width
- Gate weight
- Post size and condition
- Hinges and latch hardware
- Swing direction
- Ground clearance
- Locking needs
- Pool safety requirements if applicable
Fence Gate Replacement vs Hardware Adjustment
Not every gate problem needs a new gate. If the posts are straight and solid, a hinge, latch, brace, or alignment adjustment may solve the issue. If the gate post is rotten, loose, undersized, or pulled out of plumb, hardware alone will not hold for long.
For gate openings with a failed post, we usually assess the gate and the post together. In some cases the practical fix is a targeted post replacement; in others, the gate frame, latch side, and hinge side all need to be rebuilt so the opening works properly again.
Single Gates vs Double Gates
Single gates are usually used for pedestrian access, side yards, and backyards. Double gates are useful for wider access, garden equipment, commercial service areas, vehicle access, and industrial properties.
Pool, Side-Yard, and Commercial Gate Planning
Gate layout changes by use case. A backyard side gate, pool gate, commercial yard gate, and electric gate opening all need different planning.
- Pool gates need self-closing and self-latching hardware planned with the full pool enclosure
- Side-yard gates need reliable clearance through snow, frost movement, and everyday use
- Double gates need stronger hinge posts because the load is spread across a wider opening
- Commercial gates need access width, locking needs, vehicle movement, and site security reviewed before installation

What Affects Gate Pricing
Gate quotes vary because the gate needs to match the opening, the fence style, and the daily use. These are the main variables.
Gate Width and Weight
Wider and heavier gates need stronger posts, heavier hinges, and more robust hardware.
Material and Style
Wood, chain-link, vinyl, and metal gates all have different material and installation costs.
Post Condition and Replacement
If the gate posts are weak, rotten, or undersized, they may need replacement before the gate can be installed.
Hardware and Self-Closing Requirements
Pool gates and security gates often require specialized hardware that adds to the project scope.
Fence Gate FAQs
Common questions about our fence gate services in the Greater Toronto Area.
It depends on the cause. If the post has failed or the concrete footing has shifted, isolated hardware adjustments won't hold — the post needs to come out and be reset. We assess the gate, post, and footing condition before recommending repair or replacement.
Yes. Wood gates can be built to match the fence style and fit the opening.
Yes. Pool gates need self-closing and self-latching hardware to meet Ontario Building Code requirements. We plan and install the full gate and hardware as part of a pool enclosure project — we don't swap out hardware on existing gates as a standalone service.
Single gates are usually used for pedestrian access, side yards, and backyards. Double gates are useful for wider access, garden equipment, commercial service areas, and vehicle access.
