Default My gate won't close

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.


Why would he tell you in advance of what he'd do, so you could then go and
do it yourself!


I can see your logic here, but I wouldn't want some one to touch my
stuff without telling me what he's going to do to it. I had a
girlfriend once who did that, and never again.

Any help would be appreciated.
