For a gate rubbing against its post, show the contact point and opposite gap; adjusting the latch alone may miss the cause.
If the leaf is sound, rehanging or suitable hardware may solve the problem. A decayed post or rail needs timber work, and a distorted leaf may warrant replacement. The fixing substrate and access matter as much as the visible latch.

05Timber fence maintenance & repairsTimber fence maintenance, local repairs and section replacement in Sydney. Keep sound timber in use: assess posts, rails, palings and fixings before deciding what needs attention.Explore this service
01Timber Window RepairsA swollen sash, soft sill or decayed frame can have very different causes. Start with the timber component and the way the window opens, then decide whether a local repair is sensible.Explore this service
02Timber Door & Door Frame RepairsA door that rubs, drops or will not latch may need an adjustment rather than a new door. Rot at the jamb or threshold is a different repair and needs the affected timber checked.Explore this service
06Timber Gate RepairsA manual timber side gate that drags or will not latch might need hinges, a post, the latch or the gate leaf assessed—not necessarily an entirely new gate.Explore this service
07Deck Repairs & Board ReplacementLoose or rotten deck boards may be a surface repair, but a soft area or moving balustrade calls for a closer look at the supporting structure before anyone walks on it.Explore this service
03Timber Fascia, Eaves & Bargeboard RepairsThe timber behind a gutter, a bargeboard and an eaves lining are not the same component. Identifying the material and source of damage is the first step.Explore this service
04Rotten Timber RepairsWhen the damaged component is unclear or decay appears in several places, first map the timber, moisture and load path. A small surface patch is not always a durable repair.Explore this service
08Interior Carpentry & Timber TrimsDamaged skirting, architraves and interior timber trims need a careful match to the room—not a generic strip of timber attached over the old profile.Explore this service
09Cabinet Door & Drawer RepairsA dropped cupboard door or drawer that jams may be a hinge, runner, fixing point or cabinet-box problem. Identify the fitting before buying a replacement.Explore this service

Include Seven Hills in your enquiry, a wide photo, a close-up of each fault and approximate dimensions. Mention any shared access, stairs, parking or property-manager arrangements that apply to your property. You do not need to publish a full street address.
Mark which timber you want to keep and which parts may need replacement. Ask the quote to separate timber, hardware, finishing and removal of old materials so you can compare the same scope of work.

Before sending your enquiry
Can I ask about fence maintenance here?
Yes. Describe posts, rails, boards and fixings, then use the timber fence maintenance page to prepare photos. Confirm the work at your location before booking.
Do the project photographs prove a job in Seven Hills?
No location is assigned to a photograph without confirmation. Service-page photographs illustrate the real work supplied by the business, not evidence of a job in every suburb.
Planning the repair
How do I describe a gate rubbing against its post?
Show the contact point, the opposite gap and the hinge fixings with the gate at rest. Say whether it rubs throughout the swing or only when closing. Ask whether alignment, leaf movement or supporting timber is being addressed before material is trimmed away, and confirm that the latch will still meet correctly afterwards.
What changes the quote
Show the gate open and closed, the scrape point, both posts and readable hardware. Dimensions, post condition, hinge fixing and hardware availability influence the repair.
Agree the inclusions
This covers manually operated timber gates. Motors, remotes, automatic systems and pool safety certification are separate specialist matters. Hardware replacement and a whole new gate must be explicitly within an approved quote.
Compare repair options for this job
Compare a hinge or alignment adjustment with a repair to the supporting timber. Only discuss trimming after the gaps and latch position show it is needed.
