AfterGate Company in West Palm Beach, FL
Gate work in West Palm Beach follows a pattern we know well: salt air off the Intracoastal and the Atlantic eats through hinges, welds, and control boards faster than anywhere inland, and the county’s dense network of HOA gated communities means a single failed operator can lock out an entire neighborhood. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus on one thing: gates that open, close, and hold the way they should. If your gate is sagging, sticking, or dead, call us at (626) 649-4572 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
West Palm Beach sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Atlantic just beyond Palm Beach island. That means even neighborhoods miles inland get a steady bath of salt-laden air. We see galvanic corrosion on steel hinges and motor housings within a few years here – noticeably faster than what homeowners in Orlando or Tampa deal with. In Flamingo Park and El Cid, the 1920s-to-1950s estate gates on old masonry pillars were built for wrought iron, and they need careful patching rather than modern replacements. Out west along Okeechobee Boulevard and Forest Hill Boulevard, the master-planned communities rely on slide-gate operators, keypads, and card readers, and when one of those goes down, the whole community feels it.
Hurricane season runs June through November, and every tropical system that tracks near Palm Beach County brings a predictable wave of calls. The first ones come from gated communities along Southern Boulevard and Jog Road – not from gates blown off their tracks, but from Viking and LiftMaster control boards that shorted out from surge or moisture. A whole community can sit locked open or shut for days while a board is replaced. Understanding that rhythm – salt corrosion year-round, surge damage after storms – is what makes West Palm Beach gate work its own trade.
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
Most West Palm Beach homeowners and HOAs call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t latch or swing correctly, a brand-new gate that needs to fit an existing opening, or an electric operator that has stopped responding. Each has its own dedicated page below with specifics for this city.
Gate Repair in West Palm Beach
We repair sagging gates, replace worn latches, rehang hinges, and fix posts that have shifted in sandy Florida soil. In West Palm Beach, corrosion is the usual culprit – salt air attacks steel hardware at the weld points first, so a gate that still looks fine may be minutes from dropping. We also see a lot of HOA gates that get slammed daily and need alignment work long before the boards burn out. You’ll get a written price before we touch anything, and the work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. See Gate Repair in West Palm Beach for full details.
Gate Installation in West Palm Beach
New gate installation here means matching the right material to the right conditions. Wrought-iron estate gates in El Cid stay period-correct; aluminum or powder-coated steel holds up better against the salt air near the Intracoastal; and HOA communities off Okeechobee Boulevard usually need slide-gate designs that work with existing access systems. We measure, quote a fixed price in writing, and schedule the work around your household – with drop cloths down and shoe covers on before we set foot inside. See Gate Installation in West Palm Beach for the full picture.
Electric Gate Repair in West Palm Beach
When an operator stops responding after a storm or won’t close during a summer downpour, we’re the ones HOAs and homeowners call. We work on Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite operators, and we know which boards fail after surge and which sensors drift in humidity. In West Palm Beach, we carry common boards and safety-edge parts locally so a single visit often completes the fix. See Electric Gate Repair in West Palm Beach for what we cover and what it costs.

What West Palm Beach 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."
