Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving homeowners throughout Westgate, Florida. Most of our call volume here comes from original builder-grade sliding aluminum gates on 1980s and 1990s-era homes – gates that have spent decades in salt air and afternoon storms, and are now failing at the track, the rollers, or the latch. We answer every call with a live person and provide a written price before any work begins. If you’re dealing with a gate that jumps its track or won’t slide, call (728) 203-0817 and we’ll get it sorted.
Why Westgate Homes Are Different
Westgate’s housing stock was largely built during the 1980s and 1990s, which means most properties have single-story stucco homes on compact lots, with aluminum or chain-link sliding gates installed at the same time as the house. Those gates are now 30 to 40 years old, and the humid subtropical climate has not been kind to them. The Atlantic breeze carries salt that accelerates corrosion on hinges, latches, and track wheels. After heavy afternoon thunderstorms, sandy soil erodes under concrete gate tracks, and that’s why the most common call we get in Westgate is “my gate jumped the track.” In many cases we add a cement re-support under the track so the same failure doesn’t repeat after the next big rain.
One more thing worth knowing: many of these original gates have non-standard track sizes and roller hardware that nobody stocks anymore. That means a fair number of Westgate repairs require custom fabrication rather than an off-the-shelf part swap. We’re set up for that kind of work, and we’ll explain exactly what’s needed before we start.

Our Main Westgate Services
The two calls we hear most from Westgate homeowners are for gates that won’t slide properly and electric openers that have stopped responding. Each service has its own dedicated Westgate page below.
Gate Repair in Westgate
Most Westgate repair calls involve a sliding gate that drags, sticks, or has jumped off its track entirely. Often the root cause is rusted track wheels or a bottom track that’s settled because sandy soil washed out underneath. We replace worn rollers, rebuild track supports where needed, and address latch and hinge corrosion before it becomes a bigger problem. You’ll get a straight diagnosis and a written price first. See Gate Repair in Westgate for full details.
Gate Installation in Westgate
When a Westgate gate has reached the end of its useful life, we can replace it with a new aluminum or chain-link sliding gate sized to your existing opening. Because many of these older homes have non-standard track widths, we measure carefully and recommend a gate that fits without unnecessary concrete work. Fabrication time varies, but you’ll know the timeline before we order anything. Visit Gate Installation in Westgate to learn more.
Electric Gate Repair in Westgate
Electric gate openers in Westgate sit exposed to salt air and humidity year-round, which shortens the life of control boards, limit switches, and wiring connections. We service LiftMaster, Elite, Mighty Mule, and FAAC systems, and we carry the most common replacement boards and remotes on the truck. The goal is a first-visit fix whenever parts are available locally. Details are on Electric Gate Repair in Westgate.

What Westgate Customers Say
"The gate screeched and dragged. They fixed the track and oiled it, and wiped down everything after so there was no mess. Quiet and kind, in and out without any fuss."
- Opal Reddick"Careful and considerate from start to finish. Our kids were playing in the yard and the crew was mindful of them the whole time. Gate opens like new and the area was spotless after."
- Marcus Teague"Electric gate was acting up. He was calm and methodical, found the bad sensor, and tidied the whole area by the gate post when he finished. No grease left on the driveway."
