AfterGate Company in Edison, NJ
We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, and we work exclusively on gates: repairing them, installing them, and servicing their electric openers. In Edison, that work looks a little different than it does across the bridge in Elizabeth or Bayonne. Most of the gates we service here were added to 1960s and 1970s colonials and split-levels long after the homes were built, which means shallow posts, aging hardware, and gates that sag after enough winters. If your gate won’t latch, drags on the driveway, or stopped responding to its opener, call us at (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Edison Homes Are Different
Edison’s gate problems follow a pattern we recognize the moment we pull up to the house. The bulk of the residential stock here is tract colonials and split-levels built between the 1960s and 1980s. Gates were not part of the original build. They were added later, usually by smaller contractors, and the posts were set directly into existing concrete driveways rather than poured to frost depth. That works for a few seasons. Then the first freeze-thaw cycle hits, the ground shifts, and the post starts to lean. Over the next twenty years, that lean becomes a sag, and the sag becomes a gate that won’t close at all.
This shows up most clearly in the Oak Tree Road and Woodbridge Avenue corridors, where ornate wrought-iron and steel driveway gates were installed widely through the 1990s and early 2000s. Those gates are now twenty to thirty years old. The steel has taken decades of humidity, road salt overspray, and winter heave. We routinely find twisted frames and latching edges that no longer meet, not because the opener failed, but because the gate itself has moved. Our technicians carry shim kits and a post-plumb gauge on every estimate in Edison because the fix is more often structural than electrical.
Our Main Edison Services
Most Edison homeowners call us for one of two reasons: their gate has physically stopped latching or swinging properly, or the electric opener has stopped responding. Here’s what each one involves here.
Gate Repair in Edison
Most of the repair work here comes down to the post and the latch. The post has shifted after too many winters in a shallow footing, and the latch edge no longer lines up. We’ll straighten what can be straightened, re-set posts where the concrete allows, replace corroded hinges, and weld cracked steel frames. Homes along Route 1 and Amboy Avenue often have older sliding gates on chain-link with daily cycling, which means worn rollers, bent track, and failing wheels. Full details are on the Gate Repair in Edison page.
Gate Installation in Edison
We also build and install new gates, and in Edison that usually means a driveway gate for a family that wants their existing colonial or ranch to hold the kids and the dog in the yard. Installation here hinges on the footing. We’ll dig proper piers where there’s soil, and where the only option is existing concrete, we’ll cut and anchor steel posts so the gate doesn’t inherit the same heave problem the old one had. We also handle new pedestrian gates beside the driveway, which are common on split-level lots. See Gate Installation in Edison for more.
Electric Gate Repair in Edison
When a gate opener fails in Edison, the first question is whether the opener actually died or whether the gate’s own misalignment overloaded it. We see both, and we service the brands homeowners here actually own: FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, and others. That includes swing-arm operators, slide gate motors, keypad and intercom integration, and loop detectors. The Electric Gate Repair in Edison page covers what we diagnose and fix.

What Edison Customers Say
"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"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."
