Many St. Louis homes have an iron fence or a walk gate that matches the porch railing, and they break the same ways: rusted posts, broken welds, bent pickets and gates that sag until they drag. We pass these to local ironwork pros. For motorized driveway gates and openers, use our sister site, STL Gate Repair.
What people call about
- Walk gate sagging, dragging or won't latch
- Broken hinge or latch on an iron gate
- Fence post rusted off at the ground
- Pickets bent by a car or a fallen limb

- Fence and gate to repaint
Repair, rebuild or replace
Weld hinges and breaks, straighten pickets, reset posts.

New sections or a new gate to match the existing fence.
What the pro will want to know
- Fence, walk gate, or both?
- Is the gate manual? (Motorized gates go to STL Gate Repair)
- How many sections or posts are affected?
- Do you want the existing pattern matched?
Questions
My driveway gate has an opener. Is that you?
Openers and automatic gates are a different specialty. Try STL Gate Repair at stlgaterepair.com or (314) 673-5554, our sister referral line.
Can a rusted fence post be saved?
If only the bottom is gone, a pro can often cut it off and set a new base or sleeve. If it's rusted through higher up, a new post welded into the fence is usually the fix.
