AfterGate Company in Antelope, CA
We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving Antelope, CA. Most Antelope homes were built between 1988 and 1998, which means thousands of gates are now hitting the 25 to 35 year mark where rollers, hinges, operators, and control boards fail on a schedule you can almost set a watch to. Add Sacramento Valley summers that push past 100°F and winter tule fog that rusts unprotected hardware, and Antelope gate work looks different from anywhere else in the region. If your gate is sagging, sticking, or dead at the keypad, call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Antelope Homes Are Different
Antelope grew fast in a specific window: the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. Entire subdivisions went up in a few years, most of them HOA-governed, many with ornamental wrought-iron or tubular-steel perimeter fencing and automatic entry gates installed by the same handful of regional developers. That shared construction history means gate technicians here see the same failure patterns repeat block after block. An operator that dies in one HOA is often a preview of what every other unit in that community is about to do.
The climate accelerates things. Dry-heat summers bake grease out of hinges and rollers, UV degrades operator circuit boards, and thermal expansion cycles warp steel frames enough to stress welds and knock alignment out. Then winter fog rolls in and rusts whatever lost its coating under the summer sun. We also see a lot of undersized post footings from the original builds – by current standards, many Antelope gate posts were set with less concrete than they needed, and as the weight of the gate shifts over decades, posts lean and latches stop meeting. Dispatch and scheduling for Antelope crews is coordinated from our Sacramento office.
Our Main Antelope Services
Antelope homeowners and HOA boards call on us most for two things: keeping aging gates working safely one more season, and replacing them when the repair math no longer makes sense. Each service has its own Antelope page below.
Gate Repair in Antelope
Repair work in Antelope often means replacing worn rollers and hinges, re-aligning posts that have shifted in the clay soil, or swapping a latch that no longer holds after years of dry-heat expansion cycles. HOA boards managing community entry gates bring us in when an operator fails and the whole neighborhood is waiting on it. We write the price down before any work begins, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. For the full picture on what repair looks like here, see Gate Repair in Antelope.
Gate Installation in Antelope
When a gate is too far gone or the HOA has decided on a retrofit, installation means sizing the frame for Antelope’s heat, setting posts deeper than the original developers did, and choosing hardware that won’t bake out in the first summer. We quote the full scope in writing before ordering anything, with no pressure to accept. For details on new gates, posts, and what a measured replacement costs, see Gate Installation in Antelope.
Electric Gate Repair in Antelope
Antelope’s automatic gates lean on operator models installed a quarter century ago, and heat is hard on circuit boards. Electric gate repair here usually tracks to a few culprits: a control board degraded by UV and heat, a loop detector that stopped sensing cars, or a gear that gave out. We carry parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For how we diagnose and fix these systems, see Electric Gate Repair in Antelope.

Brands We Service in Antelope
We’re factory-trained on the brands Antelope gates actually use: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Many older Antelope subdivisions run legacy Linear or LiftMaster operators, so we keep common FAAC and BFT parts in local stock to shorten turnaround on HOA entry gates. See our brands.

What Antelope 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
