AfterGate Company in Miami, FL
Latch & Post Gate Repair is the Miami gate company built around the two parts every gate needs to work right: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. Miami’s salt air, standing canal water, and hurricane-season storms put those two parts under more stress than almost anywhere else in Florida, and the housing stock here reflects that. Ornate iron swing gates on Coral Gables estates, aluminum sliders in Kendall HOAs, heavy-duty automated panels on waterfront lots, each one fails differently and each one needs a technician who knows which materials actually survive Miami’s humidity. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Miami Homes Are Different
Miami is nearly encircled by salt water, the Atlantic on one side, Biscayne Bay on the other, and hundreds of miles of canals threaded through Miami-Dade County. That geography creates a corrosion cycle we do not see in drier Florida markets. Hinges seize within 18 months of installation. Motor housings pit from the outside. Steel posts rust through at the concrete footing line, a failure pattern driven by standing water wicking salt up into the base of the post. In canal-front neighborhoods, from Hialeah’s waterway grid down through Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay, that footing-line rust is routine enough that we recommend hot-dip galvanized post sleeves on most replacements here.
The housing stock adds another layer. Miami-Dade has one of the highest densities of gated properties in the country, from Mediterranean-style estate gates in Coconut Grove to automated PVC-slat sliders in Doral’s larger HOA subdivisions. Many of those HOAs impose specific design standards on gate color, height, and material, which means a repair or replacement often has to clear an architectural review before we start. We are used to working with HOA boards, and we will help you pull together whatever your association needs to approve the job. Hurricane season runs June through November, and every year we see the same thing: wind-driven debris bends frames, knocks sliding gates off their tracks, and creates a predictable surge of emergency calls each summer.
Our Main Miami Services
The two calls Miami homeowners make most often are for a gate that will no longer open and for a gate that needs to be replaced entirely. These three services cover every gate on your property, and each has its own page with the details Miami families ask about most.
Gate Repair in Miami
A gate that drags, sags, or will not latch is rarely a single broken part; it is usually several worn components working together badly. Our repair work in Miami starts with the corrosion question: what has the salt air already compromised, and what should be swapped for marine-grade hardware while the gate is open. We service the brands homeowners actually have, including FAAC and BFT operators, and we write up the exact price before any work begins. Read the full overview on our Gate Repair in Miami page.
Gate Installation in Miami
A new gate in Miami has to be selected for this climate, not for a showroom in a drier state. We help homeowners in Coral Gables, Kendall, and the barrier islands choose frames and hardware that will not need structural work in three years. Every installation includes a written price before we order anything, plus our standard cleanup routine: shoe covers, drop cloths, and a photo of the finished site before we leave. See what a full installation includes on our Gate Installation in Miami page.
Electric Gate Repair in Miami
Miami’s humidity and salt air are hardest on the components that move an electric gate: the motor, the control board, the safety edges, and the wiring connections. We diagnose and repair operators from Linear and Viking, and we test the full safety loop, not just the symptom that brought us out, because a gate that reverses properly is a gate that will not hurt a child or a pet. For a detailed walkthrough of what we check, visit our Electric Gate Repair in Miami page.

Brands We Service in Miami
We are factory-trained on the operator brands Miami homes actually run: FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking among them. Our Miami inventory includes common boards, limit switches, and receiver parts for those lines, which means many repairs are completed on the first visit rather than after a parts order. See the full list on our brands page.
Pricing for Gate Company in Miami, FL
| Service | Typical range in Miami |
|---|---|
| Standard gate latch or hinge replacement | $145-$285 |
| Wrought-iron gate realignment and latch adjustment | $180-$350 |
| Sliding gate roller and track repair | $210-$410 |
| Gate post straightening or footing repair | $300-$650 |
| Operator arm or motor replacement (single gate) | $450-$900 |

What pushes Miami pricing up is corrosion. A hinge that is rust-welded in place takes longer to remove, and a post that has rusted through at the footing often needs concrete work before we can set a new one. Whatever the scope, you get a written price before any work begins, always, and that number is agreed before we touch anything.

What Miami 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
