We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving Lake Worth, FL. Gate work here isn’t the same as it is inland. The salt air off the Intracoastal gets into hinges, tracks, and operator housings faster than most homeowners expect, and the older cottages and ranch homes around town often have gates that were installed decades ago with hardware nobody makes anymore. When you call us, a live person answers, and you’ll get a written price before any work begins. That’s how every Lake Worth job starts: (728) 203-0817.
Why Lake Worth Homes Are Different
Lake Worth’s coastal position means the air itself works against metal. We replace rusted hinge pins and corroded track rollers here more often than in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach, simply because the salt and humidity settle into everything. A gate that works fine in a drier part of the county may seize up within a few years a few blocks from the water. That’s why we default to corrosion-resistant fasteners and stainless hardware where the budget allows, and why we inspect the entire hinge line rather than just the part that failed.
The housing stock matters too. Many Lake Worth homes are older Florida cottages and mid-century ranches with narrow driveways and compact yards. Swing gates are common, and there’s often very little room for an operator arm. We’re used to working in tight setbacks, placing operators where they won’t hit a car door or block a walkway. In the historic downtown neighborhoods especially, original wrought-iron gates are still doing their job, and when a hinge or latch breaks, repairing it often means fabricating a replacement piece to match the old design rather than bolting on something new. That’s part of the work here, and we enjoy it.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lake Worth Services
Most Lake Worth calls come down to one of three things: a gate that won’t open or close, a gate that needs to be replaced, or an electric system that stopped responding. Each has its own page with local pricing and details.
Gate Repair in Lake Worth
A sagging gate or a latch that won’t catch is more than an annoyance in Lake Worth, it’s a security issue and, with the salt air, a rust problem that gets worse every week it’s ignored. We repair hinges, latches, posts, and track systems on swing and slide gates throughout the city. On older wrought-iron gates, we frequently custom-fabricate replacement hinges and latch keepers to match the original hardware rather than leaving a mismatched modern part. See the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Lake Worth page.
Gate Installation in Lake Worth
New gate installations in Lake Worth usually mean working around a tight driveway, an old fence line, or a property line that isn’t perfectly straight. We measure carefully, recommend hardware that will stand up to the coastal air, and write up a firm price before ordering anything. Whether it’s a replacement for a rusted-out gate or a first-time installation, you’ll see the full scope in writing. Details are on our Gate Installation in Lake Worth page.
Electric Gate Repair in Lake Worth
Salt, humidity, and intense summer sun are hard on gate electronics. Circuit boards bake, photo eyes cloud over, and limit switches corrode. We diagnose operator problems on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems, and we keep common parts on the truck so many repairs happen on the first visit. If your opener has stopped responding entirely, start with our Electric Gate Repair in Lake Worth page.

What pushes a Lake Worth job toward the higher end is usually corrosion. A hinge that needs replacement around the corner from the Intracoastal often involves cutting out rusted fasteners and fabricating a bracket before the new part can go on. You’ll see the exact number in writing before we touch anything, and that number won’t change mid-job.

We’ll tell you what we know about your specific situation during the free estimate, and we don’t start work until everything is clear.
