AfterGate Company in Manor, TX
Gate work in Manor runs into one problem more than any other: the ground itself. This city sits on Houston Black clay, a soil that swells when it rains and shrinks hard in summer drought. Posts heave, gates bind, operators strain against a gate that no longer swings true. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist, and we work on the gate you have, the soil it stands in, and the automation that opens it. Call (626) 649-4572 and you’ll talk to a live person, any hour.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Manor is mostly new construction, and that shapes the work we do here. The housing stock is almost entirely 2000s to 2020s: HOA master-planned communities like ShadowGlen with ornamental iron and aluminum driveway gates, plus semi-rural ranchette lots on the edges of town with long-driveway swing and slide gates. A lot of those 2005 to 2015 installs are now hitting their first major repair cycle at the same time the automation is ready for replacement.
Then there’s the clay. Manor sits on Blackland Prairie soil, some of the most expansive shrink-swell clay in the country. A hot, dry Central Texas summer pulls moisture out of the ground and posts loosen or tilt. A heavy rain follows and the clay swells back, shoving posts the other direction. Our techs learn to check post plumb first, before touching any hinge or motor. In Manor, a gate that “just stopped working” is usually binding from a shifted post, not a dead operator. Fix the motor without resetting the footing and you’ll be back within one rainy season.
Our Main Manor Services
Here’s what Manor homeowners call us for most, with a page dedicated to each.
Gate Repair in Manor
Most Manor repair calls are mechanical before they’re electrical. A post that’s moved out of plumb puts the latch out of line, the hinges under stress, the whole gate fighting itself. We check the footing first, then the hardware. Gate Repair in Manor covers latch replacement, hinge and post work, sagging gates, and hardware from Ghost Controls and DoorKing. We write the price before we touch anything, and shoe covers go on before we walk your driveway to the gate.
Gate Installation in Manor
On new installs in Manor, the footing is everything. An undersized or shallow post base will move with the first drought-and-rain cycle this soil delivers. We set posts below the shrink-swell zone where the clay will let us, then build up from there. Gate Installation in Manor covers ornamental iron, aluminum, and ranch-style gates, with automation wired and tested before we leave. We measure, price it in writing, and schedule on your timeline.
Electric Gate Repair in Manor
Automated gates in Manor take a beating from the heat. Sustained 100°F-plus days with little shade on these flat, open lots wear out control boards and motors faster than hardware in cooler parts of the state. Electric Gate Repair in Manor covers operators, safety edges, keypads, remote programming, and troubleshooting on Viking, Elite, and Ghost Controls units. If the post has shifted and bound the operator, we’ll tell you that before we sell you a motor.

In Manor, the biggest price driver is the soil. A post that’s tilted or sunk means more labor than a simple hardware swap, and if the concrete footing is too shallow to hold, we may need to dig and pour a deeper one. Whatever the job turns out to be, you’ll see the exact price in writing before any work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless we find something you agree to in advance.

FAQs About Gate Company in Manor
Most Manor calls are answered the same day, and many repairs on this side of town finish in a single visit. We schedule across the northeast metro, coordinated from our Austin office, so we’re usually close by. Call (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a straight answer on today’s availability.
If your home is in a Manor HOA like ShadowGlen, check your governing documents first. Many HOAs have rules about gate style, color, and height on new installs. Repairs to an existing gate usually don’t need approval. We’ll work with whatever your HOA requires on a new install.
In Manor, the answer depends on the footing. If we reset a post properly and get it below the main shrink-swell zone, you should get years out of it. A realignment without fixing the footing is a temporary fix on this soil. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before we quote the work. Every repair is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

What Manor 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."
