Why people call about this.
The hinges squeal or clunk
Worn pins and barrels let the gate shift every time it swings.
The latch will not catch
A latch that has to be held shut is a gate that gets left open.
The double gate blows open
Usually a drop rod with nothing solid to drop into.
ENNIS, TX
Gate Hinge & Hardware Replacement in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Gates & Operators in Ennis
Out on Ennis acreage the drive gate usually sits at the road with the power up at the house, so it is often a wide double-swing or slide gate sized for a stock trailer or equipment and run by a solar operator, while gates in the newer subdivisions are closer to the house and simpler to wire.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
