AfterGate Company in Hollywood, FL
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Hollywood gate company that works exclusively on driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and electric gate systems. What makes this city different is the salt air. Hollywood sits between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Hollywood Lakes canal grid pushes marine air deep into residential streets, so gate hardware here corrodes faster than it does even a few miles inland. That changes which parts we carry, which coatings we recommend, and how often a gate should be serviced. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Most of Hollywood’s housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s, and in neighborhoods like Emerald Hills, that means original swing-arm operators and slide-gate motors that are now 30 or 40 years old. Those systems were not built for the humidity Hollywood lives with. The Atlantic breeze on one side and Intracoastal moisture on the other create a salt-humidity envelope that oxidizes gate hinges, solenoids, and motor housings year-round, and our technicians routinely open control boxes here to find circuit boards with green corrosion blooming across the contacts. Along U.S. 1 and near Hollywood Beach, condominium gates absorb hundreds of cycles a day under a single HOA maintenance budget, which shortens the life of chain drives and rollers even further. Hurricane season adds another layer: current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements apply to gate panels and posts, and a number of older Hollywood HOA gates were never brought up to standard after past storms. When we quote a repair or replacement in Hollywood, we do not copy a template from another city. We walk the property, look at the salt exposure, check the age of the operator, and price the job for the conditions on that specific street.
Our Main Hollywood Services
Three services make up nearly every job we do in Hollywood. Each has its own page with local pricing, timelines, and what to expect on the day of the visit.
Gate Repair in Hollywood
Gate repair in Hollywood usually means a gate that sags on its hinges, a latch that no longer catches, or a slide-gate wheel that has ground itself down on a salt-corroded track. We keep marine-grade hinges, latch assemblies, and rollers stocked for the Hollywood climate rather than using standard galvanized hardware that we know fails here within two or three years. Every repair starts with a written price, and the technician wears shoe covers and lays drop cloths before stepping through your gate or into your home. Read the full breakdown on the Gate Repair in Hollywood page.
Gate Installation in Hollywood
A new gate in Hollywood has to be specified for salt air, wind load, and the condition of the posts that will carry it. In older neighborhoods like Emerald Hills, we often find the original concrete posts are still sound, but on Intracoastal-adjacent streets the posts themselves may need resetting or replacing before the new gate goes in. We quote the full job before any work starts, including the exact gate material, hardware grade, and operator if one is being added. See how the process works on the Gate Installation in Hollywood page.
Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood
Electric gate repair in Hollywood is most often a motor that has quit, a keypad or remote that stopped communicating, or a safety sensor that trips during the humid mornings when condensation collects inside the housing. We are factory-trained on the brands families in Hollywood actually own, and we carry board-level and limit-switch parts for the most common operators. A malfunctioning electric gate can be disabled safely, but the electrical and mechanical work should be handled by a trained technician, not improvised. Details are on the Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood page.

What pushes a Hollywood job toward the upper end of a range is usually corrosion. A post that looked fine from the outside may reveal rusted anchors or spalled concrete once we open it up, and marine-grade hardware costs more than the standard galvanized parts that fail early in this climate. Whatever the number turns out to be, you will see it in writing before we start, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

FAQs About Gate Company in Hollywood
Most Hollywood homeowners get a visit within one to two days, and for a gate that will not close or an operator that failed on a condo entrance, we treat that as urgent and schedule accordingly. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, so the fastest way to find out is to call (626) 649-4572.
Yes. We work with Hollywood HOAs on shared vehicular gates, and we are familiar with the older systems common in 1950s-1980s communities like Emerald Hills as well as the high-cycle condominium gates along U.S. 1. We provide a written quote for board review before any work begins.
Many Hollywood gate replacements do not require a permit when they are like-for-like, but new posts, new electrical runs, or wind-load-sensitive panels can trigger a permit. We flag this during the quote and help you confirm what the city requires before we schedule the work.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"Our gate opener quit and they came out quick. The tech was careful not to leave the yard open while our dog was out, which I really appreciated. Clean work, swept up the metal shavings."
- Eleanor Boggs"New hinges welded on a heavy gate. They laid down protection so no sparks hit the driveway and cleaned every bit after. Respectful of the property and the result is solid."
- Derek Pulanco"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."
- Ravi Menon
