AfterGate Repair Near You in West Palm Beach, FL
If your gate won’t latch, sags on its hinges, or the opener has stopped responding, you’re likely searching for exactly what we do: a local gate repair company in West Palm Beach that can get there today. Latch & Post Gate Repair is based right here and works on the brands families actually own – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Call (728) 203-0817 and a live person answers. No voicemail, no callback queue, no “press 2 for service.”
We cover homes across West Palm Beach, from the neighborhoods east of I-95 out to The Acreage, and we handle the three jobs that cover almost every gate problem: our Gate Repair services, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Every visit starts with a written price before work begins. That’s not a courtesy. It’s how we work.
What “Gate Repair Near Me” Actually Means in West Palm Beach
You need someone close enough to show up, skilled enough to fix it the first time, and careful enough not to leave a mess. We’re that shop. Founded in 2009 as part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists, Latch & Post has spent years learning the specific ways South Florida weather and sandy soil punish gate hardware.
The name tells you what we do. Every gate comes down to two points of failure: the latch that holds it closed and the post that carries its weight. When a gate won’t stay shut, it’s usually the latch. When it drags or lists, it’s usually the post. We repair both, and we install new gates when repair stops making sense.
Around West Palm Beach, we see certain problems repeat. Coastal air brings salt corrosion to exposed steel. The summer thunderstorm pattern, with its rapid expansion and contraction of wood posts, loosens Hinge & Post Repair bolts. And the sandy soil out toward Wellington and The Acreage lets posts shift just enough to throw a gate out of square. Knowing what West Palm Beach does to a gate changes how we fix one.
Fast, Local Gate Repair
Most gate repairs in West Palm Beach are same-day jobs for us when you call before mid-afternoon. A sagging gate, a dead keypad, a stuck Lock Repair need – these are problems we can usually solve in one visit. We arrive in a marked van, we introduce ourselves, and we hand you a written price before touching a single bolt. If the price doesn’t work for you, we shake hands and leave. No pressure.
Our technicians are home-focused in the literal sense. They’re background-checked and uniformed, and they work to the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values: Clean up like it’s our own home; Ask before moving or touching anything; Respect your family’s time and quiet hours; Explain the price before the work. When the job involves stepping inside, we put on shoe covers and lay drop cloths on the floor – your floors stay clean. When the repair needs lubricant, we use pet-safe products where there’s a choice. And when your kids are napping, we can schedule around it.
Before the technician leaves, you get a photo showing the cleaned-up work area. It’s a small thing that tells you how seriously we take the part of the job most companies skip.
What We Repair
Our work falls into three buckets, and we’re factory-trained on the equipment inside all of them.
- Gate repair: sagging or dragging gates, broken latches, rusted hinges, misaligned posts, damaged gate frames, and hardware replacement. Most standard latch replacements in West Palm Beach run between $85 and $220, and you’ll see the exact number in writing before we touch anything.
- Electric gate repair: openers that won’t open, keypads that won’t respond, safety sensors that keep tripping, remotes that stopped pairing, and swing-arm or slide-gate motors. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Board replacements and motor swaps typically stay under $600 for the common residential units, and we tell you the real figure before work starts.
- Gate installation: new manual or electric gates, new posts, new openers, and full replacement when repair isn’t worth it. For a full electric gate install in West Palm Beach, most homeowners spend between $2,800 and $6,500 depending on gate size, motor choice, and whether we’re running new power. You get a written price after we see the site – never an estimate thrown out over the phone.
Every one of these jobs is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair or installation isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print.

How a Gate Repair Visit Works
We keep the process simple because surprise is the enemy of trust. Here’s what happens when you call:
- Call (728) 203-0817. A live person answers, day or night. You describe what’s happening – gate dragging, keypad dead, latch won’t catch.
- We schedule a visit. For most West Palm Beach addresses, that’s same-day or next-morning. We give you a real arrival window, not “between 8 and 5.”
- We inspect and write the price. The technician diagnoses the problem and hands you a written price before any work starts. You approve it or you don’t – no pressure either way.
- We do the repair. Shoe covers on, drop cloths down, quiet tools if kids are asleep. The work happens with the same care we’d use in our own homes.
- We clean up and show you. You get a photo of the cleaned work area before we leave. Then we walk you through what we fixed and what to watch for.
If anything about the repair doesn’t hold up within a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s the whole point of the promise.
