Why Latch and Post Gate Repair West Palm Beach Is Lake Worth’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Every gate comes down to two parts: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on. Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, has been doing exactly this work since 2009. We’re not a general handyman service that happens to look at gates. We’re a gate specialist.

Lake Worth customers keep calling us back because our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and factory-trained on the brands families actually own here: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. When a technician arrives for a Gate Repair visit in Lake Worth, they put on shoe covers before stepping onto your floors, lay drop cloths where we’re working, and take a photo of the clean-up before they leave. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s not an upsell. It’s how every visit works.

Led by Cody Beckman, our team answers every call with a live person, 24 hours a day, nights, weekends, and holidays included. No voicemail queue. You call, a person picks up.

Gate Welding in Lake Worth

Gate welding in Lake Worth is a core part of what we do, because so many local gates are old wrought iron that needs to be repaired rather than replaced. Coastal salt air settles into weld joints, and the base of hinge posts corrodes from standing moisture and the high water table. When a post rots at the bottom, the gate starts to sag, scrapes the driveway, and puts strain on the operator. The answer is often a welded repair: cut out the corroded section, weld in a new steel footing, and re-anchor the post to a fresh concrete base. Most Lake Worth gate welding jobs run $180 to $450 depending on how much material has to come out and how much bracket work is involved. You’ll see the exact price in writing before we touch anything.

Custom Hinge and Latch Fabrication

In Lake Worth’s historic downtown neighborhoods, a lot of original wrought-iron gates are still in service. The hinge posts and latches on those gates were often made by hand, to fit one specific gate leaf on one specific property. You can’t always order a replacement. Our crew custom-fabricates hinge brackets and latch hardware on site to match the period design, so the gate keeps its original look instead of getting something off a shelf that doesn’t fit the style.

Weld and Rust Repair for Salt Air

Rust on a Lake Worth gate is rarely cosmetic. Salt air works its way under paint and into welds, and by the time you see flaking, the metal underneath is often thinning. We grind out the rust, weld in new steel where the section is too far gone, and use corrosion-resistant primer and paint suited to coastal conditions. This is the difference between a repair that lasts a few months and one that holds up for years.

Commercial Gate Repair in Lake Worth

Commercial gate repair in Lake Worth presents a different set of demands from residential work, mainly because the gate has to keep working while we’re fixing it. Businesses along Dixie Highway and in the commercial corridors near Lake Worth Road can’t have their delivery gate down for a day. We plan commercial repairs around your access schedule, which sometimes means working early mornings, and we carry common commercial gate parts for FAAC, BFT, and Viking systems so the repair doesn’t stall while a part ships. A typical commercial gate repair in Lake Worth runs $260 to $700 depending on the component, and you’ll get a written price before we begin. Cody Beckman’s team coordinates commercial jobs from the South FL office and dispatches a local crew to your site.

Rack and Pinion Slide Gate Repair

Slide gates are the standard choice on Lake Worth commercial properties because they don’t need swing room. The rack and pinion is the part that takes the most abuse: the pinion gear wears, the rack sections accumulate salt and sand, and the whole assembly starts to bind. We replace rack sections, rebuild or swap the pinion, and re-grease the track with a marine-grade lubricant that holds up in the coastal air. If the slide gate shares a driveway with another business, we keep one side of the opening passable while we work.

Loop Detector and Safety Edge Work

The high water table under Lake Worth means water finds its way into buried loop detector wires more often than it should. A failed loop means the gate doesn’t know a car is waiting, and it can start to close on a vehicle. We test the loop with an inductance meter, locate the break, and splice in a new sealed section. We also replace and calibrate safety edges so the gate reverses immediately on contact.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth

Our technicians are factory-trained on the brands families and businesses in Lake Worth actually run: FAAC, BFT, and Linear show up constantly on gates in this area, along with LiftMaster on residential operators. We stock common parts for these systems and can get a first-visit fix on most calls instead of ordering a part and coming back. If you’re not sure what brand your gate runs, that’s fine. We identify it on arrival and work from there.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Lake Worth Homes

• Hinge post corrosion from salt air. This is the single most common failure in Lake Worth. The post looks fine at eye level but it’s rusted through at the base, and the gate sags until it drags on the concrete.
• Thermal shutdowns on slide gate operators. The intense summer sun heats the motor housing, and plastic gears inside older Linear and FAAC units strip or warp. The gate quits mid-cycle, usually on the hottest afternoon of the week.
• Buried loop detector failures from the high water table. Water gets into the loop wire after heavy rain, and the gate starts acting like it doesn’t see vehicles. We see this on shared driveways throughout Lake Worth and in the neighborhoods near the Intracoastal.
• Narrow driveway space making swing gates difficult to tension. Many Lake Worth homes are 1950s cottages and mid-century ranches with compact yards and narrow side drives. A swing gate that works perfectly on paper binds against a fence post that’s a few degrees out of plumb. We re-anchor and re-level the post rather than chasing the symptom.
