Latch & Post Gate Repair is the West Palm Beach gate company for homeowners who want a straight answer and a clean floor. Most of our work here involves ornate aluminum and wrought iron driveway gates on older estate properties, where coastal salt air and hurricane wind loads turn small problems into stuck gates fast. We work on gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair, and every visit starts with a written price before anything is touched. Call (728) 203-0817 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
West Palm Beach gate work is shaped by what the city is built from: 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes in El Cid and Flamingo Park with custom iron gates original to the house, mid-century ranch homes with lighter tube-steel gates, and newer communities in the western reaches with decorative aluminum driveway gates. Each of those ages differently in this climate.
The subtropical weather does the real damage. Intense sun breaks down plastic hinge caps and opener housings. High humidity and Atlantic salt spray work into any unpainted scratch and start corrosion within months. And after heavy summer rain, the sandy soil shifts enough that gate posts lean a few degrees, which binds the latch and makes the opener strain. In neighborhoods like the South End, we regularly see gates that closed fine in April and won’t latch by August because the post moved half an inch with the soil.
Hurricane season adds another layer. When a warning goes out, homeowners rush to button up their properties and discover the automatic opener has seized from salt corrosion or a power surge. Our technicians know the failure patterns well: hinge pin corrosion on older iron gates, UV-cracked limit switch housings on openers, and wind-bent latch strikes on aluminum gates that flexed during a storm.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
West Palm Beach homeowners call us most often for two things: a gate that won’t close right, and a gate that was damaged or is being upgraded. Each service has its own page with local pricing and details.
Gate Repair in West Palm Beach
A sagging gate in West Palm Beach usually comes down to hinge wear accelerated by salt air, or a post that shifted in sandy soil after a heavy rain. We repair the underlying issue rather than just re-hanging the gate: replace corroded hinges with corrosion-resistant hardware, reset posts where the soil moved, and straighten or replace bent latch strikes. On older El Cid or Flamingo Park ironwork, we match the repair to the original style so it doesn’t look patched. See the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in West Palm Beach page.
Gate Installation in West Palm Beach
New gate installation in West Palm Beach means choosing materials that can stand up to salt spray and storm winds without constant maintenance. We help homeowners replace rusted iron with powder-coated aluminum that won’t corrode, or install a new driveway gate sized and wind-loaded for the property. Every installation includes a written price before we begin, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind the work. Details and pricing are on the Gate Installation in West Palm Beach page.
Electric Gate Repair in West Palm Beach
Electric gate openers in West Palm Beach face a specific enemy: power surges during summer storms. We see failed control boards, fried capacitors, and seized motors regularly from June through October. We also handle salt-corroded limit switches, worn drive gears, and opener arms that no longer close the gate fully. Our technicians are factory-trained on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear openers, so diagnosis is quick and the repair is right the first time. Full local pricing is on the Electric Gate Repair in West Palm Beach page.

What pushes a West Palm Beach price toward the higher end: heavy custom ironwork on an El Cid estate gate, severe salt corrosion that requires cutting out and replacing multiple sections, or a post that needs full concrete reset after soil movement. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before any work starts, and it doesn’t change unless you approve it first.

What West Palm Beach Customers Say
"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."

- Nick Farrow"Gate motor died and they replaced it carefully, cleaning every bit of debris off the driveway. Mindful not to leave the yard open with our dog out. Great crew."
