I have a wrought iron gate, and my fence has moved so it does not shut
anymore. There are no springs, adjustments etc. The top of the gate
just moved a bit, and it is getting stuck on the bolt holding the
stationary iron tube to the wall. The nut is flush with the end of the
bolt.
I was thinking I could notch the gate with a hacksaw, and buy myself
some time. I've talked to a fence company who says he can do something
for $100-$150. Sounds expensive, and he's being secretive about what
he will do.
Any help would be appreciated.

How are the hinges mounted? Sure you can't make an adjustment there?
The real solution is to fix the hanging post or the closing side to
return the opening back to its full width. Chopping on the gate isn't a
real good solution as that will then be there from now on...
