AfterGate Company in Arlington, TX
Gate repair in Arlington, TX comes down to one recurring issue: the Blackland Prairie clay under the city heaves and contracts year-round, and it pulls gate posts out of alignment faster than almost anything else. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we work exclusively on gates: repairs, installations, and electric operator systems. If your gate is sagging, dragging, or refusing to latch, call us at (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Arlington Homes Are Different
Arlington sits on expansive clay soil. When the spring rains hit, the ground swells. When the summer heat runs past 100°F, the soil contracts and cracks. Gate posts set into that cycle get pushed and pulled constantly, which is why post-reset work is a repeat service here rather than a one-time fix. A gate that was plumb in March may be dragging by July.
Most Arlington homes were built between the 1970s and the mid-1990s. That means a huge number of wood privacy fences and swing gates are now 30 to 50 years old. The posts are failing, the hinges are rusted through, and the pickets have dried out in the Texas sun. We’re replacing or resetting these older gates on a regular basis across the city. South and west Arlington have a number of HOA communities from the mid-2000s with ornamental steel driveway gates, and those HOAs often require style-matched replacements rather than patch repairs. We help homeowners work through those requirements.
Our Main Arlington Services
Arlington homeowners call us most often for two things: a gate that won’t close properly, or a gate that needs replacing entirely. Here’s how each service works in Arlington specifically.
Gate Repair in Arlington
A sagging gate in Arlington is usually a post problem. The clay soil has shifted, the post leans, and the latch no longer lines up. We dig and reset the post with compacted gravel and concrete below the clay layer, then re-hang the gate so the latch actually catches. In other cases the hinges, latch, or frame have simply worn out after decades of use. We stock parts for most common residential gates and can usually complete a standard repair in one visit. See the full scope at Gate Repair in Arlington.
Gate Installation in Arlington
New gate installation in Arlington means designing for the soil. We set posts deeper than the standard minimum, add drainage gravel, and choose hardware that tolerates movement. For HOA-governed communities in south and west Arlington, we match the style requirements exactly so the gate clears architectural review. We also account for the summer heat: we use sealants and stains that hold up under direct Texas sun, and we recommend wood species that don’t twist when temperatures swing. Details and options are on Gate Installation in Arlington.
Electric Gate Repair in Arlington
Electric gate operators in Arlington take a beating from the heat and the soil. Ground movement can throw off safety sensors and limit switches. Electrical components bake in summer sun, and spring storms can knock out control boards. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators. Most repair calls are completed the same day. See what’s covered on Electric Gate Repair in Arlington.

What Arlington 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."
