Scope of Work & What's Included

Our approach to gate repair in Gridley and surrounding counties covers every detail from initial property measurement and underground utility clearance through laser alignment and site cleanup:

Thorough gate inspection diagnosing post plumb, corner frame joint sag, and hinge fatigue
Resetting or replacing leaning hinge posts with heavy-wall steel or treated timber set in concrete
Retrofitting sagging wood gates with Adjust-A-Gate telescoping steel frames and diagonal truss cables
Replacing worn hardware with commercial adjustable strap hinges and two-way self-latching gravity latches
Troubleshooting automatic gate opener mechanical arms, solar batteries, and safety sensors
Complete gate swing balancing, ground clearance calibration, and latch engagement testing

Kansas Ground & Weather Considerations

Gates across Coffey County take intense abuse from daily use and fierce Kansas wind. Sagging gate corners drag through dirt and turf, stripped latch screws prevent secure closure, and freeze-thawed hinge posts tilt inward. When pets escape or automatic operators bind and stall, property security is compromised. Our heavy-duty gate rebuilds restore effortless one-handed swinging.

Our Proven Installation & Build Process

1
1. Post & Hinge Plumb Audit: We check hinge post deflection and inspect frame squareness to identify if post failure or frame fatigue is causing the sag.
2
2. Hinge Post Reinforcement: Straightening or replacing failed posts with deep-anchored structural posts set 36 to 42 inches in concrete footings.
3
3. Frame Squaring & Steel Trussing: Disassembling racked frames and installing rigid steel internal frames or diagonal turnbuckle cable braces.
4
4. Heavy Hardware Upgrades: Mounting commercial-grade multi-screw adjustable hinges and heavy-duty strike plates.
5
5. Latch & Opener Calibration: Aligning self-latching mechanisms, testing keypads, and adjusting automatic opener push-pull stroke limits.
6
6. Swing Testing & Cleanup: Testing gate travel across full swing arc, checking latch drop, and sweeping all discarded hardware.

Kansas Communities Served for Gate Repair

Our Gridley-based crews provide on-site consultations, underground Kansas 811 utility mark coordination, and complete gate repair across East-Central Kansas:

Coffey County, KS: Our home county: John Redmond Reservoir, Coffey County Lake (Wolf Creek's cooling lake) and Neosho River bottoms mean many fence lines sit on wet, flood-prone ground.
Burlington, KS: Coffey County seat on the Neosho River just below John Redmond Dam; older homes on low ground near the river need posts set for wet soils.
Yates Center, KS: Woodson County seat with a historic courthouse square; aging homes in town and surrounding cattle pasture mean wood privacy repairs inside town and barbed-wire rebuilds outside.
Lebo, KS: Lebo, just off I-35 in northern Coffey County near Melvern Lake, has commuter homes plus farmsteads where split-rail and chain-link line the highway frontage.
Madison, KS: Madison, at the Greenwood County line west of Gridley, is gateway Flint Hills ranch country where pipe fence, barbed wire and corral work dominate.
Olpe, KS: Olpe, south of Emporia on K-99, is surrounded by row-crop and cattle ground; farmstead pens and livestock lots drive woven-wire and pipe fence work.
LeRoy, KS: LeRoy sits in a Neosho River bend southeast of Gridley; small-town lots back onto cropland, so chain-link and woven-wire pet and garden fences are common.
New Strawn, KS: New Strawn was built after the old Strawn townsite was flooded for John Redmond Reservoir; its newer homes sit near Coffey County Lake and Wolf Creek.
Hartford, KS: Hartford borders the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge at John Redmond's upper end; refuge-edge farms need deer-resistant garden fence and flood-ready posts.
Neosho Rapids, KS: Neosho Rapids sits on the Neosho River between Emporia and Hartford; river-bottom farms see flood debris load fences, so H-braces and steel posts hold up best.

Gate Repair Questions Answered

Gates sag because standard wood frames lack diagonal tension support, causing wood corner joints to loosen, or because the hinge post itself leans under gate weight. We rebuild gate frames with rigid steel Adjust-A-Gate frames or diagonal turnbuckle trusses and reinforce hinge posts.

He answered my call and gave me a quote within a day and was out here two days later. Brandon worked very hard in the hottest part of the day to make sure everything was perfect. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a fence built or repaired. Thank you Kraft Fencing.”

“Casey and Roman Kraft did a cedar fence rebuild for my wife and I in December of '25. Our original fence was over 20 years old and in bad need of replacement. Casey came to my house on a Sunday to measure the property and discuss our plans. He got us the bid that evening. His price was extremely competitive and his reviews online were stellar. The days Kraft Fencing committed to build were the 2 rainiest days in December. There were flash flood warnings posted on both of those days and still, Casey and Roman showed up and went to work. I felt bad but they had top notch rain gear and smiles on their faces. They and their crew showed up at 7:30am both days and just got after the job. The craftsmanship is very impressive. They use screws instead of nails, the posts are beefier than the standard 4x4 post, and they use clear cedar in all the wood work except for the posts. The most impressive thing we experiened with Casey and his company was how he and his crew responded to a mistake that was made. He listened to our concern, gave us a few options to rectify the mistake, made sure both my wife and I would be happy with the work around, and then went about his business and made it right (without any additional charge). What a fantastic business he runs and what an ethical guy he is. I give him a 10/10 recommendation if you are looking to get a new fence installed. Brendan H. Great price”
