AfterGate Company in Conway, FL
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Conway gate specialist focused on three things: gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Conway homes, particularly the mid-century ranch houses around Lake Conway and Little Lake Conway, present gate problems you won’t find in drier parts of Orange County. The lakeside humidity corrodes iron hinges and rollers faster than almost anywhere else in the area, and the summer lightning season takes a real toll on automatic gate boards. If your gate won’t latch, won’t open, or the operator just stopped responding after a storm, call Cody Beckman’s team at (626) 649-4572. We’ll give you a written price before any work begins, and we’ll leave your floors as clean as we found them.
Why Conway Homes Are Different
Conway’s housing stock shapes the work we do here. Most of the neighborhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s, and a lot of those original driveway gates, whether they’re wrought iron or chain-link, have been in place for fifty years or more. The metal isn’t just old; it’s been sitting in Central Florida humidity the whole time. On lakefront lots along the Conway chain of lakes, that humidity is amplified by the water itself. Hinges and rollers on waterfront gates rust out years before they would on a comparable home in a drier inland neighborhood just a few miles away. The renovation wave moving through Conway means we also get called in when a homeowner is updating an older property and wants the gate brought up to match the rest of the improvements.
There’s another Conway-specific pattern we see regularly: seawall-adjacent gate posts set in saturated soil. The ground around the lakes stays wet for much of the year, and over time the posts shift or heave. A gate that’s suddenly hard to close or won’t stay latched often has less to do with the latch itself and more to do with a post that’s no longer plumb. Fixing that means re-setting the post before any mechanical repair will hold.
And then there’s the weather. Conway sits in one of the highest lightning-strike-frequency corridors in the country. When thunderstorm season peaks in summer, we see a spike in calls for dead automatic gate operators. Circuit boards and capacitors absorb surge damage in a way that mechanical parts don’t, which means post-storm electrical diagnostics are a recurring part of our work here.
Our Main Conway Services
Gate repair and electric gate repair are the two calls we take most often in Conway, with gate installation close behind as homeowners upgrade older properties. Each service has its own Conway page with detailed pricing and what to expect.
Gate Repair in Conway
Most Conway gate repair calls start the same way: a gate that was working fine last week now won’t latch, drags on the ground, or makes a sound like it’s grinding through rust. On the mid-century homes around Conway, the culprit is usually a hinge or roller that’s finally given out after decades of lake humidity. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule equipment. Before we touch anything, you get a written price. And before we walk inside, we put on shoe covers and lay down drop cloths under the work area. See Gate Repair in Conway for what a typical repair costs and how quickly we can get there.
Gate Installation in Conway
A new gate in Conway usually means one of two things. Either a homeowner is replacing a rusted-out original gate on a 1960s or 70s ranch, or they’re adding a gate as part of a larger renovation. Either way, the big local consideration is the soil. Posts set near the lake need deep, properly drained footings or they’ll start heaving within a couple of years. We’re factory-trained on the brands families actually use here, and every installation includes a written price upfront, drop cloths and shoe covers inside the home, and a cleanup photo before we leave. Gate Installation in Conway covers the process, timeline, and what to budget.
Electric Gate Repair in Conway
Electric gate repair calls in Conway cluster around summer storms. When lightning hits close, the surge can cook a control board or capacitor in an instant, and the gate goes dead until the damaged component is replaced. We also handle the quieter failures: a keypad that won’t accept the code, a remote that works only from ten feet away, a sensor that keeps reversing the gate for no reason. We diagnose on-site, give a written price for the specific repair, and typically complete most electric gate fixes in a single visit. See Electric Gate Repair in Conway for typical costs and what to check before you call.

Brands We Service in Conway
We’re factory-trained on the gate equipment Conway homeowners actually have, including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking operators.

For the full list of what we work on, see our brands.
Pricing for Gate Company in Conway, FL
| Service | Typical Range in Conway |
|---|---|
| Gate hinge replacement | $150-$350 |
| Gate latch or lock repair | $120-$250 |
| Gate wheel or roller replacement | $100-$250 |
| Gate post re-plumbing (re-setting) | $400-$900 |

What pushes a Conway job toward the top of these ranges is usually rust. Hardware on a lakefront lot has often corroded to the point where removal takes longer, and post work in saturated soil near the waterline adds real time. Whatever the final number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that’s the price you pay. We don’t adjust upward after the fact.

FAQs About Gate Company in Conway
For most Conway repairs we’re on-site within a few days, and for urgent situations like a gate that won’t close at all, we make room sooner when we can. Calls are answered live 24 hours a day, so you’ll talk to a person, not voicemail, whenever you call (626) 649-4572.
Some Conway neighborhoods have deed restrictions or HOA guidelines about gate height, material, and color, so it’s worth a quick check before installation. We can tell you what we’ve seen in your specific area and work with whatever approval process applies. A written price comes first, before any work is scheduled.
Unplug the operator and call us. Storm surge often damages the circuit board or capacitor on automatic gates, and it’s safer to leave the unit powered down until we’ve diagnosed it. We keep replacement boards and capacitors on the truck for common brands, which gets many Conway storm repairs done in one visit.

- 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."
