AfterGate Company in Palmetto Bay, FL
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving Palmetto Bay, FL, focused exclusively on gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Homes here sit directly along Biscayne Bay, and the salt-laden marine air attacks iron and steel gate hardware faster than in inland communities like Kendall or Pinecrest. That means a gate company working Palmetto Bay needs to understand corrosion, not just replacement parts. If your gate is sagging, sticking, or refusing to open, call (626) 649-4572 and we’ll put the exact price in writing before any work begins.
Why Palmetto Bay Homes Are Different
Palmetto Bay’s housing stock spans 1950s ranch-style homes up through custom estate builds from the 1990s and 2000s, and most properties sit on generous lots with long driveways. Ornate automated wrought-iron or aluminum perimeter gates are common, often paired with keypads, intercoms, and camera systems. These are not off-the-shelf installations, and neither are their failures.
The bigger differentiator is the air itself. Salt off Biscayne Bay corrodes hinge pins, motor housings, and latch hardware measurably faster than properties even a few miles inland. We regularly find hardware seized from salt buildup on gates that are only a few years old. Add Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load standards, the strictest county-level code in the country, and a structural repair that would be routine elsewhere can trigger a permit and engineering review. In Palmetto Bay, a sagging hinge is sometimes a corrosion fix and sometimes a compliance conversation. We handle both, and we explain which one you are looking at before we touch anything.
Our Main Palmetto Bay Services
Most Palmetto Bay homeowners call us for one of three things, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and details.
Gate Repair in Palmetto Bay
Swing and slide gates in Palmetto Bay take a beating from salt air and afternoon thunderstorms. Hinge pins seize, latch mechanisms corrode, and gate arms drift out of alignment. We carry parts for Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing systems, and our techs are trained to spot the difference between a part that needs replacing and one that just needs cleaning and adjustment. When a structural component is involved, we walk you through what Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code requires, because older estate gates often do not meet current anchoring specs. Get the full picture on Gate Repair in Palmetto Bay.
Gate Installation in Palmetto Bay
New gate installation here means matching the scale and style of large-lot estate properties while meeting hurricane wind-load requirements. We measure for proper clearance on long driveways, spec posts that will hold up to storm season, and coordinate the operator, keypad, and intercom wiring so everything works on day one. Every installation includes a written price before we order a single part, and the crew arrives with shoe covers and drop cloths so your floors stay clean while we work. See what a Palmetto Bay installation involves on our Gate Installation in Palmetto Bay page.
Electric Gate Repair in Palmetto Bay
Salt air is hard on electric gate operators. Circuit boards corrode, limit switches fail, and motors that work fine inland can seize up here within a few seasons. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule equipment, and we keep common parts stocked for same-visit fixes where the job allows. When a storm knocks out a sensor or a power surge fries a board, we diagnose it on site and give you a written price before the repair starts. Details are on our Electric Gate Repair in Palmetto Bay page.

FAQs About Gate Company in Palmetto Bay
Not usually for hardware-only repairs like latch or hinge replacements, but Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ wind-load codes mean any structural change, post replacement, or new gate installation can require a permit. We identify that early so there are no surprises.
Most Palmetto Bay gate repair calls are scheduled same day or next morning. Emergency calls, like a gate stuck open with pets inside, get priority dispatch. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, day or night.
Yes. Coastal Palmetto Bay gates corrode visibly faster than inland hardware. Hinge pins seize, motor housings pit, and circuit boards fail from salt exposure. Annual lubrication and inspection makes a real difference here, more than it would a few miles inland.
If your gate is struggling, call (626) 649-4572. We will give you a written price, protect your floors, and clean up before we leave – and every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Cody Beckman and the Latch & Post team are ready to take your call.

What Palmetto Bay Customers Say
"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."
- Benson Ide"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
