Gate Installation
A gate is the part of a fence you use every day, so it has to swing true and latch right. We build and hang gates that just work.
The gate is the hardest-working part of any fence. You open and close it every day, so it has to be built and hung right. A cheap gate sags, drags on the ground, and stops latching within a year. A good gate swings smooth and latches the same way it did the day it went in. The difference is in the build and the hardware, and that is where experience shows.
Gates We Build
We build walk gates sized for people and pets, and wider drive gates you can pull a mower, a trailer, or a vehicle through. We match the gate to your fence so it looks like part of the run, not an afterthought. We use solid hinges and latches built to hold up, and we can add a lock or keep it simple, whatever you need.
A gate is only as good as the posts it hangs on. A gate post carries weight and swings it back and forth all day, so it has to be set deeper and stronger than a regular post. We set our gate posts below the frost line in plenty of concrete, hang the gate level, and adjust it so it closes and latches clean every time.

FAQ
Gate Installation, common questions
Where can I find gate installation near me in New Britain?
A&L Fence is a family-owned fence company serving New Britain and the surrounding towns. We build and hang walk and drive gates with over 20 years of experience. Call (207) 227-5825 for a free estimate.
Why does my gate sag and stop latching?
Almost always because the gate post was not set strong enough. A gate swings weight back and forth all day, so the post needs to be deeper and set in more concrete than a regular one. We set gate posts to carry that load, so the gate keeps swinging true and latching right.
Can you build a gate wide enough to drive through?
Yes. We build wide drive gates you can pull a mower, trailer, or vehicle through, usually as a double gate that opens from the middle. We size it to what you need to fit and build it to swing smooth.
Can you fix or replace just my gate?
Yes. A sagging or broken gate is one of the most common fence fixes we do. We can rebuild or replace the gate and, if the post is the problem, reset it so the gate works for the long haul. Call us and we will take a look.
