Swing gates give a classic look but rely on solid hinges, well-set posts and properly adjusted motors or rams to work smoothly. SteelMotion repairs single and double swing gates across Dublin, fixing the mechanical and electronic faults that cause them to drop, drag, judder or stop altogether. Our engineers get both leaves swinging in sync, closing securely and operating safely.

Over time, swing-gate hinges wear and posts can shift, causing a gate to drop and drag on the ground. The arm or ram motors that drive each leaf can fail, lose pressure or fall out of adjustment so the gate no longer closes flush or the two leaves arrive out of step. We re-hang, realign and re-adjust the gate and its automation so it sits and moves correctly.
Electronic faults — failed control boards, faulty capacitors, misaligned photocells — affect swing gates just as much as sliding gates, and we resolve these as part of the same visit.
Getting both leaves working together
On double gates, the sequencing and overlap matter: the leaves must open and close in the right order and meet cleanly. We set the timing and limits so the gate closes securely every time, and confirm all safety devices function.
Every job starts with a quick phone or WhatsApp conversation so we can dispatch the right engineer with the right parts. We never use online forms — talk to a real person who knows shutters.

Swing Gate Repair FAQs
My swing gate is dragging on the ground — can it be fixed?
Yes. That's usually worn hinges or a shifted post causing the gate to drop. We re-hang and realign the gate so it swings clear and closes properly.
One leaf of my double gate opens before the other — is that a fault?
The leaves are meant to sequence in a set order, but if they're out of step or don't meet cleanly the timing needs adjusting. We recalibrate the sequencing and limits.
Do you repair the gate motors as well as the gate itself?
Yes. We repair and replace swing-gate arm and ram motors, control boards and safety systems, as well as the mechanical hinges and structure.
