Gate or metal shutter repair

Gate or metal shutter repair — Tonga

A sagging gate that drags or won't close, a metal shutter that is stuck, noisy or comes down crooked: these faults make access difficult and weaken security. Many are fixed by adjustment or replacing parts. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in Tonga are notified of your request.

What the service covers

• sagging gate, worn hinges or wheels;
• bent or blocked sliding gate track;
• lock, bolt or stop to replace;
• stuck metal shutter, broken or dislodged slats;
• shutter axle, spring or guides to repair.

Depending on the diagnosis and what you agree with the worker, the job can include adjustment, welding broken parts, replacing hinges, wheels, slats or locks, lubrication and anti-rust touch-up.

Key points

Do not force it

A roller shutter works with springs under tension: do not try to dismantle it yourself. Describe the fault to the worker.

Motorisation

If the equipment is motorised, the fault may be in the motor or control; the electrical part is for an electrician or automation specialist.

What affects the price

• equipment type and size;
• nature of the fault;
• parts to replace;
• any welding;
• access and urgency.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.

Frequently asked questions

My shutter won't go up: what should I do?

Avoid forcing it; say whether it is manual or motorised and where it is stuck.

Can a sagging gate be repaired?

Often yes: adjustment or new hinges, sometimes welded reinforcement.

Are parts supplied?

That is to be agreed; some parts depend on the model.

What information should I give?

Equipment type, size, the fault, manual or motorised, and access.
