AfterGate Company in Aubrey, TX
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a gate company serving Aubrey, TX, and we work on the full range of what this town throws at a gate: old welded-pipe ranch gates on the west side of US 377, brand-new ornamental iron systems in Sandbrock Ranch and other HOA communities, and everything in between. Aubrey sits on Blackland Prairie clay that expands and contracts through every wet-dry season, which means gate posts lean, operators lose their settings, and hinges bind. If your gate is dragging, leaning, or no longer opens like it should, call us at (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Aubrey Homes Are Different
Aubrey is mid-transition from rural Denton County ranch land to master-planned suburban development. A gate technician here can spend a morning re-plumbing a 30-year-old pipe-frame driveway gate on a five-acre equestrian property, then drive ten minutes east and service an ornamental aluminum automated gate that was installed in 2021. No neighboring city has this same sharp split between working-ranch gate infrastructure and high-end residential access control sitting on adjacent lots along the same county roads.
The Blackland Prairie soil is the single biggest factor in Aubrey gate work. The expansive black clay swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, and over seasons that cycle slowly heaves gate posts out of plumb. On older acreage properties west of US 377, we regularly see pipe-frame posts tilted several inches off vertical. The gate still looks fine from the driveway, but the hinges are fighting the geometry, the latch won’t seat, and an automatic operator will bind or lose its limit settings. Re-plumbing posts and re-hanging gates is as common a ticket here as any electrical repair.
Aubrey also gets North Texas weather: spring hail storms and the occasional hard freeze. February 2021 cracked plastic operator housings, destroyed control boards, and iced gate tracks on automated sliding systems across town. The newer HOA communities built after 2018, where builders installed automated ornamental iron or aluminum gates as standard features, are now entering their first service cycle. Those systems are reaching the age where factory settings drift, sensors misalign, and warranty-edge repairs start popping up.
Our Main Aubrey Services
Aubrey homeowners call us most about two things: gates that won’t open or close properly, and operators that have stopped responding. Here’s what each service covers locally.
Gate Repair in Aubrey
Most Aubrey gate repair calls are structural: a post has heaved out of plumb, a hinge has sagged, or a latch no longer lines up. On older ranch properties, we’re often cutting out and re-setting posts that the clay has pushed several inches off vertical. On newer homes, it’s more likely a builder-installed gate that was never perfectly hung and has finally started dragging. We carry the hinges, latches, and hardware needed for common Aubrey jobs, and we quote the full price in writing before touching anything. Gate Repair in Aubrey
Gate Installation in Aubrey
New gate installation in Aubrey ranges from a simple welded tube gate on a rural driveway to a full ornamental iron system with automation in a newer subdivision. The soil matters on every job: we set posts below the frost line and account for clay movement so the gate doesn’t start tilting two seasons in. We measure, quote, and schedule everything in advance, and we handle the full install including hinges, latch, and any operator you choose. Gate Installation in Aubrey
Electric Gate Repair in Aubrey
Electric gate repair in Aubrey often comes down to the operator: a control board that failed after a freeze, a safety sensor knocked out of alignment, or a limit switch that keeps tripping because the gate has shifted. We’re factory-trained on the brands families in Aubrey actually own, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We troubleshoot first, quote second, and repair only what needs repairing. Electric Gate Repair in Aubrey

In Aubrey, the biggest price driver is post condition. If the clay has shifted a post out of plumb, the job moves from a simple hardware swap to excavation and re-setting, which adds time and material. The second driver is operator age: a ten-year-old unit with an obsolete board costs more to repair than a five-year-old unit with a plug-and-play replacement. Whatever the number turns out to be, you’ll see it in writing before we begin.

What Aubrey 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."
