AfterGate Company in Boca Raton, FL
Gate work in Boca Raton is not like gate work 20 miles inland. Most of our calls come from planned, HOA-governed communities built between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, where aging community entrance operators and ornate aluminum swing gates are all reaching the end of their service life at the same time. The salt air off A1A corrodes hinges and pivot posts years faster than it does in Delray Beach or Deerfield Beach, and the annual hurricane season sends a wave of fried control boards every fall. We are Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus on one job: gates that hold, close, and open the way they should. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Boca Raton Homes Are Different
Boca Raton has one of the highest concentrations of planned, HOA-governed gated communities in the country. Boca West, Broken Sound, and St. Andrews Country Club alone represent hundreds of vehicular gates that were installed when these communities were built out, and they are now failing in waves. What we see most often here is not a single residential driveway gate that sags, but a community entrance operator from 1987 that the HOA board has patched for a decade and finally needs to replace outright.
The housing stock explains it. Most of Boca Raton’s residential neighborhoods went up between roughly 1975 and 1995, and many feature wrought-iron and aluminum swing gates at both the community entrance and the individual estate driveways. Those original FAAC, Eagle, and early LiftMaster operators are largely unsupported by manufacturers now. That means a simple “the gate won’t open” call in Boca Raton frequently becomes a conversion job: new operator, new receiver, sometimes new posts, and a permit conversation with the City of Boca Raton’s Building Division if post work alters the structure.
Palm Beach County’s post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load amendments add one more wrinkle. Some ornate iron gates installed in the 1980s no longer meet current wind-resistance standards. A repair that looks like a hinge swap can turn into a code-compliance discussion with the HOA. Our technicians know to flag that early, before money gets spent on a fix the county will not pass.
Our Main Boca Raton Services
Most Boca Raton calls fall into one of three groups: a gate that stopped moving, a gate that never existed and needs to be installed, or an electric operator that quit. Each has its own page with pricing and local details.
Gate Repair in Boca Raton
Hinges, latch posts, sagging leaves, rotted wood posts at the base, misaligned receivers on the operator side: these are our daily calls in Boca Raton. The salt air off the ocean eats steel hardware, so we stock stainless and marine-grade replacements locally rather than waiting a week on a factory order. On most visit-based repairs in Boca Raton, we arrive with the common parts on the truck and can finish the same day. Gate Repair in Boca Raton covers hinge replacements, post work, latch jobs, and frame straightening, with a written price before we touch anything.
Gate Installation in Boca Raton
Installing a new driveway or estate gate in Boca Raton almost always means working around one or two things: an HOA architectural review board with specific design rules, and wind-load code that dictates post depth and gate panel construction. We handle the measuring, the permit paperwork through the City of Boca Raton, and the installation, and we quote the full job in writing before the first hole is dug. Gate Installation in Boca Raton walks through the process and what a new aluminum or iron gate typically runs in this market.
Electric Gate Repair in Boca Raton
When an operator on a Boca Raton community gate fails, it is usually the control board, a capacitor, or a limit switch, and it usually follows a storm, a power surge, or a decade of salt air. We carry boards and parts for Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite operators, which covers a large share of what is installed in Boca Raton’s older communities. Electric Gate Repair in Boca Raton explains what a board swap involves, what it costs, and when a full operator conversion makes more sense than another patch.

Brands We Service in Boca Raton

We keep common boards, receivers, and hardware for these brands stocked locally, which shortens turnaround on the older community operators that dominate this market. See our brands for the full list.

Every written price is delivered before any work begins, always. If the number changes because we find something hidden once the gate is opened up, we stop and explain it before proceeding.

We carry the brands most often installed in these developments and can usually identify the issue on the first visit.
Most hinge, latch, and control-board repairs do not require a permit.

What Boca Raton Customers Say
"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."
- 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
