Roosevelt Park is older family homes on medium stands, with a high share of swing gates on original arms and sliders that were added later.
Two gate types, two fault lists
The swing gates here are the older installations, and their faults are mechanical: worn hinges, arm pivots with play, and posts that have moved in ageing brickwork.
The sliders are generally newer additions, and theirs are the standard ones: a track that fills with grit, wheels that flatten, and a rack that works loose.
Knowing which you have decides what the first inspection looks at.
Posts, hinges and the cheap repair
On a swing gate the hinges and posts carry everything and they are the least expensive things to put right.
A dry hinge makes the motor work against friction it was never designed for. A worn one lets the gate drop, which puts the leaf out of line with its partner and with the ground. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Greasing and freeing hinges is minutes of work; replacing a worn pair is an hour. Either is a fraction of the arm or motor that fails when they are ignored. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.
