Folding gates and scissor gates repaired and installed
Steel folding gates, also called scissor gates, pull out across a storefront, an entrance, a window, a dock or a stock room and lock. We repair bent, jammed and forced gates of any make in Seattle, Lynnwood and Everett, and install new storefront security gates.
What is the gate doing?
Bent or forced
Call 425-776-5162Someone pried at the gate, or something heavy ran into it. Bent pickets and bars will not fold or lock.
What we do Get the opening closed and locked first, then straighten or replace the bent pickets and bars. The whole gate often does not need to go.

Six parts do the work on a folding gate
Any one of them can stop the gate from closing, folding or locking. Pick a number to see what goes wrong and what we do about it.
Top track and rollers
A steel track across the head of the opening guides the gate, and on most gates carries its weight on rollers. When the rollers wear or the track works loose, the gate sags and drags.
Call 425-776-5162- Worn or seized top rollers
- Track pulled loose from the header
- Bent or dented track
- Reinforced top track on new gates
Our workRepair comes first
Most folding gates can be fixed
Bent pickets, lattice bars, a lock or a length of track can be replaced without replacing the gate. We look at the repair first and tell you plainly when a new gate is the better value.

Straight answers
Folding gate questions we hear most
Not on the list? Call and ask. A person answers.
Call 425-776-5162Someone forced our gate last night. Can you come now?
Call 425-776-5162. The line is answered 24 hours a day, and an on-call technician can come out nights, weekends and holidays. If the full repair needs parts, we secure the opening first.
Do you repair folding gates you didn't install?
Yes. We repair folding gates and scissor gates of any make, including ones another company put in and ones that came with the building.
Can a bent gate be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Often it can be repaired. Bent pickets and lattice bars, a lock, rollers or a length of track can usually be replaced on their own. When a new gate is the better value, we'll say so.
What if a floor track will not work at our entrance?
Ask about a trackless gliding gate. It needs no track across the floor, so it suits openings where a track cannot be used. The same gates close off pools, worksites and areas inside a building.
Do you install folding gates at homes?
Sometimes. Storefronts and commercial buildings are most of our gate work, and we have also installed folding gates for specific residential needs.
