Clay that moves
The heavy Weald clay around Cranleigh swells when wet and shrinks in dry summers. Over time that can make gate posts lean slightly, so gates stop meeting in the middle, catch on the ground or no longer line up with their locks. If your gates started misbehaving after a dry summer or a wet winter, the posts and hinges are worth checking before the motors.
Rural and equestrian properties
Long drives, field gates and yards are common. Gates near horses or livestock need gentle, reliable safety settings, and gates far from the house often run on long cables, solar kits or GSM intercoms, each with its own typical faults.

Cranleigh: questions
My gates no longer meet in the middle. What's wrong?
Usually a dropped gate, worn hinges or a post that has moved. Adjusting it early protects the motors and the lock. Choose “Gate won't close or opens by itself” in the form.
