Banging Gate

Categories: Doors

Our landlord is in a tizzy about people banging the gate. We’ve got a classic brownstone setup: iron gate at the top of the stairs, a foot of space and then a solid door.

The gate does seem to bang dramatically if you aren’t careful with it and it has rattled a brick loose on the hinge side.

Is there a way to fix this?

A better gate design?

He’s talking about getting one of those hydraulic things, which seems kind of overkill to me but maybe that is what we need?
