Call (626) 649-4572

We are the Miami Beach gate specialists who carry stainless fixings, HVHZ-approved operators, and marine-grade sealed parts on the truck, not something we have to order in after the first visit. Written price before any work starts. Shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house. A cleanup photo before the tech leaves. That is the standard on every driveway, from the Venetian Islands up to North Beach.

Why Latch & Post Gate Repair Is Miami Beach’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Latch & Post Gate Repair has been working on gates since 2009 as part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists. Homeowners across Miami Beach keep our number because the tech who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and factory-trained on the brands families actually own here: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For electric gate issues, see our Electric Gate Repair in Miami Beach. Cody Beckman leads our team with a straightforward rule: every gate comes down to two parts – the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That is the job we focus on.

Miami Beach customers tell us the same thing again and again: the written price before work starts is what made them call us instead of someone else. Nobody wants a tech standing at the driveway with a number that was never discussed. We put the price on paper first, every single visit, with no pressure to accept. If it is not right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means Latch & Post makes it right – no argument, no fine print.

Our crews serve Miami Beach from the brand’s South FL office, so we are not driving across three counties to reach you. When a salt-corroded hinge lets a 400-pound iron gate drop onto its striker, response time matters. Call (626) 649-4572 day or night and a live person answers, not a voicemail queue. That means 3 a.m. on a holiday, too, because gates fail on their own schedule.

Iron Gate Repair in Miami Beach

Iron gate repair in Miami Beach is different from iron gate repair anywhere else in South Florida because the island exposes every piece of ferrous metal to airborne salt from the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other, all day, every day of the year. Untreated steel weld joints and hinge barrels fail here in three to five years, roughly half the lifespan of the same gate on the mainland. Most iron gate repairs on this island run $220 to $520, depending on whether we are replacing a hinge, cutting out a rusted post footing, or re-welding and repainting a section.

Hinge and Post Footing Replacement

When ornamental iron gates sag on Palm Island or Star Island, the panel itself is usually fine. The failure is below grade. We cut out the corroded footing, reset the post in new concrete, and rebuild the hinge assembly with stainless fixings that survive the salt. This job typically runs $350 to $520, and the written price is in your hand before we touch anything.

Weld Repair and Rust Treatment

Rust on ornamental iron starts at the weld joints first, which is why we grind back to clean metal, re-weld, and apply a zinc-rich primer and marine-grade topcoat rather than just painting over rust. On gates in the Art Deco Historic District, we can match the existing finish so the repair does not stand out from the street. Expect $180 to $340 for typical weld and rust work on a standard swing gate.

Sliding Gate Repair in Miami Beach

Sliding gate repair in Miami Beach usually involves the track, the rollers, or the motor itself – and on low-lying blocks in South Beach and Mid-Beach, the motor is often the victim of tidal flooding that never touched the gate with direct rain. When salt water creeps up under the driveway apron and sits against the motor housing for hours, the control board corrodes even though the unit looks dry from above. Standard sliding gate repairs here run $200 to $460, though a full operator replacement with HVHZ-approved sealed electronics lands closer to $850 to $1,300.

Track and Roller Replacement

Salt grit works its way into sliding gate tracks on this island quickly, and rollers seize up within a few years if they are not sealed units. We replace worn rollers, clean and level the track, and re-align the gate so the motor is not fighting resistance on every cycle. Most track and roller repairs fall between $200 and $350.

Automatic Operator Repairs

When a sliding gate operator stops responding, the first things we check are the limit switches and the control board. In Miami Beach, those boards frequently fail from hidden saltwater exposure even when the gate itself looks fine. Swapping a control board on a common brand like LiftMaster or DoorKing typically costs $280 to $460, and we stock common boards locally for Miami Beach customers so we are not waiting on a warehouse.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Beach

We are factory-trained on the gate operators Miami Beach homeowners actually have: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For this island, we keep stock of Linear, Viking, and DoorKing parts on the truck because those three brands show up constantly on older estate gates and Mid-Beach condominium entrances. That means the right part arrives with the tech, not three days later. Repair or replacement, the write-up on every job notes the brand model and the serial number so there is no guesswork about what failed.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Miami Beach Homes

• Hinge post footings corroded through by dual-direction salt spray. The gate sags and scrapes the driveway, but the panel is usually undamaged. A panel-only repair will not fix it because the post itself has lost its anchor in the concrete.
• Operator control boards waterlogged by sunny-day tidal flooding. On low South Beach and Mid-Beach blocks, street water creeps under the driveway apron and sits against the motor housing for hours. The board corrodes from below even though the gate was never directly rained on.
• Untreated steel weld joints failing in half the inland lifespan. Where a Broward gate might go seven to ten years between weld repairs, the same joint on Miami Beach lasts three to five years. Stainless fixings and marine-grade coating are not an upsell here; they are the minimum that survives.
• Obsolete operators that cannot meet HVHZ code. Miami-Dade County requires gate operators installed in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone to carry HVHZ product approval. A non-approved unit cannot legally be installed, so we verify the model before quoting a replacement.
