AfterGate Company in White Plains, NY
White Plains is Westchester County’s commercial and governmental hub, which means gate work here rarely looks like it does in the surrounding bedroom towns. We service everything from ornamental wrought iron driveway gates on 1920s estate homes in Gedney Farm to vehicle-rated barrier arms on the corporate campuses along Martine Avenue. The common thread is that White Plains gates get pushed hard by freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and daily commercial use. If your gate is sagging, dragging, or refusing to open, call us at (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why White Plains Homes Are Different
Ground frost in Westchester County penetrates 24 to 36 inches, and White Plains sees multiple thaw-refreeze events every winter. That heaving shifts gate posts out of plumb a few degrees at a time. By March, gates that closed cleanly in October start dragging on concrete or binding at the latch. We see this pattern every spring across Fisher Hill and the estate-era neighborhoods, where original ornamental iron gates from the 1920s through 1950s are still in service. Those gates carry decades of rust at the weld joints and hinge barrels. Fixing them properly usually means grinding back to clean metal and re-welding, not swapping in a new part.
The other thing that sets White Plains apart is the dual residential-commercial demand. Downtown high-rises and the office parks near the Westchester County Center rely on card-access operators and barrier gates that need to work every single day. A residential swing gate can wait until morning. A parking structure gate at 8:00 a.m. cannot. Our technicians are trained on both UL 325-compliant automated operators and custom ornamental ironwork, because this city requires fluency in both. That combination is much less common in places like Bronxville or Harrison.
Our Main White Plains Services
Most White Plains calls come down to one of three jobs: a gate that will not open or close, a new gate that needs to be built and hung correctly, or an operator that stopped responding. Each has its own page with full detail.
Gate Repair in White Plains
When a White Plains gate stops latching or drags across the driveway, the cause is usually post movement from frost heave or worn hinge barrels on an older iron gate. We realign the posts, re-weld cracked joints, and replace hinges and latches so the gate closes square and stays closed. We lay drop cloths and wear shoe covers any time the work takes us inside, and we leave a photo of the clean-up before we go. If you have a gate that will not close properly, see the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in White Plains page.
Gate Installation in White Plains
A new gate in White Plains has to be set on posts sunk below the frost line, which is deeper here than most homeowners expect. We build for the ground as much as the gate, because a post set too shallow will move within two winters. We work in ornamental steel, aluminum, and wood, and we walk you through the exact price before anything is ordered. Every installation comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. For full detail on materials, lead times, and what a day-of install looks like, visit our Gate Installation in White Plains page.
Electric Gate Repair in White Plains
Automated operators in White Plains fail in two main ways: limit switches knocked out of adjustment by a shifted post, or circuit boards that gave out after a power surge. On the commercial side, a down barrier arm on Martine Avenue is a different job than a residential swing operator. We diagnose the operator, the photo eyes, the safety edges, and the power run, then give you a written price before any work begins. See the full scope on our Electric Gate Repair in White Plains page.

What White Plains Customers Say
"The gate screeched and dragged. They fixed the track and oiled it, and wiped down everything after so there was no mess. Quiet and kind, in and out without any fuss."
- Opal Reddick"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
