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

We’ve worked on enough gates along South Lake Drive and Marine Drive to know what salt spray does to a swing gate that looks fine from the street. Our technicians arrive in uniforms, lay drop cloths before stepping inside, and put on shoe covers without being asked. That matters when kids and pets are running through the house while we work.

Every serviced brand in Lantana, from FAAC to LiftMaster, gets the same treatment: a written price before we start, a cleanup photo before we leave, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind the work. If the repair isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print. Anchored by Cody Beckman, our team treats your gate like it protects our own family.

Our Gate Repair approach starts with understanding what the marine environment is doing to your hardware. Serving Lantana means knowing which streets see the worst corrosion and which parts need upgrading rather than patching.

Wood Gate Repair in Lantana

Wood Gate Repair in Lantana almost always starts with the hardware, not the lumber. The heat and humidity swell the wood, but it’s the salt-corroded hinges and latch plates that pull screws loose and let the gate sag. A sagging wood gate drags on the driveway, strips hinge screws, and eventually cracks the bottom rail. On canal-front properties we see this happen within 12 to 18 months of a standard hinge install.

Most wood gate repairs in Lantana run $180 – $380 when we’re replacing hinges, reinforcing a sagging corner, and re-hanging the leaf. If the gate frame itself has rot from standing water or hurricane-driven rain, we replace the affected rails and rebuild the joint, which typically adds $150 – $250. You’ll see the exact figure in writing before we touch anything.

Marine-Grade Hardware Replacement

On South Lake Drive and Marine Drive, we won’t install painted steel hinges on a wood gate. We use stainless steel hinges with stainless pins, and we bed them properly so the wood doesn’t wick moisture. This is the difference between a gate that swings true for years and one that seizes again before the next hurricane season.

Sagging and Racking Correction

When a wood gate sags, the fix usually involves a turnbuckle cable or a steel anti-sag kit, plus re-setting the hinges. We choose corrosion-resistant kits with stainless cable and coated brackets. Pets and kids squeeze through gaps that weren’t there six months ago, and this repair closes them back up.

Driveway Gate Repair in Lantana

Our Electric Gate Repair in Lantana covers everything from a sliding gate that shudders on its track to a swing gate opener that hums but won’t move. Salt air attacks the electronics and the steel at the same time, so we often find a mechanical issue and an electrical issue in the same visit. A driveway gate that won’t open isn’t just inconvenient. It traps cars in the driveway and leaves the house exposed.

Basic driveway gate repairs in Lantana run $200 – $500 for limit switch adjustments, track realignment, or hinge replacement. When the operator itself has failed, replacement costs $850 – $1,600 installed, depending on whether you have a FAAC, BFT, Linear, or similar drive. We carry common boards and remotes so we can often finish the repair the same day we diagnose it.

Track and Roller Service

Sliding gates along Lantana’s sandier streets collect grit in the track, and salt sticks to everything. We clean the track, replace worn rollers with sealed bearing units, and adjust the gate so it doesn’t bind. A sliding gate should roll with one hand; if yours takes two, something’s wrong.

Operator Board Diagnostics

When a control board shorts from moisture intrusion, the gate may open but not close, or ignore the remote entirely. We bench-test boards from FAAC, BFT, and Linear and replace them only when they can’t be saved. Sometimes the fix is a sealed enclosure and a new capacitor, not a whole operator.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana

Our technicians are factory-trained on FAAC, BFT, and Linear systems, which covers most of the electric gate operators we see in Lantana’s canal-side homes. We stock replacement boards, remotes, safety edges, and hinge kits for these brands locally, so turnaround is faster than waiting on a distributor. When a FAAC board fails from salt intrusion or a Linear actuator quits after a storm, we diagnose the fault on site and give you a written price before ordering anything.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Lantana Homes

• Salt-corroded hinge posts on canal-front swing gates. Painted steel posts rust from the inside out within 12 – 18 months near the Intracoastal. The gate sags, the latch misses, and the opener strains until something breaks.
• Moisture and salt intrusion in operator control boxes. Unsealed boxes on South Lake Drive and Marine Drive collect condensation and salt dust. Boards short out, relays stick, and the gate stops responding to remotes.
• Corroded keypad contacts and dead buttons. Exposed keypads near the water develop green corrosion on the contacts. Buttons go dead one at a time, and eventually the whole unit needs replacement with a sealed, marine-rated model.
• Hurricane stress on gates and bracing. Lantana gates take wind load head-on during storm season. Weak posts and loose hinges fail under pressure, and we often find the damage only when we inspect before or after a storm.
