Why Latch & Post Gate Repair Is Aubrey’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company

Latch & Post Gate Repair is part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists, and we’ve been doing this work since 2009. Our Aubrey customers tell us the same thing after every visit: the tech showed up on time, set expectations in writing, and left the driveway cleaner than they found it. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and factory-trained on the brands families actually own around here. We also run one simple rule: the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values. Clean up like it’s our own home. Ask before we move or touch anything. Respect the family’s time and quiet hours. Explain the price before the work. It sounds simple, but it’s the part most gate companies forget.

Cody Beckman, who leads Latch & Post, built the company around one unavoidable fact: every gate comes down to two parts. The latch that holds it and the post that carries it. Everything else, motors, sensors, keypads, control boards, exists to make opening and closing that gate effortless. When any of it fails, the job is to restore it without turning your front entrance into a construction site. Our local reputation in Aubrey hinges on that discipline. We schedule explicitly around Aubrey zip codes like 76227 and respond to service calls across the town’s east-side HOA subdivisions and west-side ranch properties with equal preparation. Dispatch is coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve Aubrey locally.

Electric Gate Motor in Aubrey

Electric Gate Motor repair across Aubrey means working with two very different generations of equipment. On older acreage along county roads west of US 377, we’re often servicing first or second-generation solar-powered operators from Viking or Linear that have lived through years of Blackland Prairie clay movement and North Texas weather. On the newer engineered-pad subdivisions going up east of town, we’re more likely to open a LiftMaster or FAAC hydraulic arm installed with the house, often still under its first service cycle and failing at warranty’s edge. A motor repair in Aubrey typically lands between $220 and $460 for component repair, while a full motor and arm replacement runs $950 to $1,900 installed. The exact number is written down before we start.

Limit Switches and Bind Corrections

When an Aubrey gate post shifts from clay-soil heave, the motor doesn’t know the gate moved. It only knows the resistance changed. That’s why older pipe gates on the west side bind mid-cycle, trip the breaker, or lose their open and closed positions. The fix often involves re-setting the limit switches and adjusting the operator after the post is re-plumbed and the gate is re-hung. We don’t just clear the error; we correct what caused it.

Operator Housing Failures After Hail

Spring hailstorms across Aubrey split plastic operator covers and let moisture into the gear train and control board. A cracked FAAC or LiftMaster housing isn’t cosmetic; it’s the first step toward a dead operator. We replace the housing, inspect the board and wiring for corrosion, and reseal the enclosure. That repair usually runs $140 to $310, with the board replacement separately if the moisture already reached it.

Gate Access Control in Aubrey

Gate Access Control on an Aubrey property covers how the gate knows to open for you, for family code, for the delivery driver, and no one else. For HOA communities like Sandbrock Ranch with shared entry systems, this also includes the keypad, loop detectors, and the handoff between the access control board and the gate operator. A standard keypad replacement in Aubrey runs $160 to $380 installed and programmed. Loop detector replacement, which usually requires cutting and resealing a section of the driveway, runs $350 to $800. If the board itself is failing, expect $400 to $950 depending on whether we’re matching a single-family Viking or a multi-resident BFT system.

Keypads and Remote Programming

A dead keypad on a gated driveway in Aubrey is usually one of three things: a worn membrane, a failed transformer, or a board that lost its codes after a power surge. We test, identify which one it is, and replace only what’s bad. We program the new keypad to the existing operator, test every code, and hand you the instructions in plain English.

Loop Detectors and Shared Entry

When a shared HOA gate stops opening for exiting cars, the loop detector in the pavement has usually failed or drifted out of tune. On Oklahoma clay, the ground moves, the loop shifts, and the signal degrades. We cut the asphalt or concrete, lay a new loop, seal it properly, and retune the detector to the operator. For HOA shared entries, we coordinate with the management company to keep resident access live during the repair.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aubrey

Our Aubrey trucks carry parts for the brands families actually have, not just the ones that are easy to stock. We’re factory-trained on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. On any given week in Aubrey, we’re more likely to open an older Viking or Linear solar operator on a ranch gate west of US 377, and a newer FAAC or LiftMaster arm on a Sandbrock Ranch entry. We keep common boards, remotes, keypads, and edge sensors on the truck so most repairs are done in one visit. If a part is specific to an aging operator, we’ll give you the lead time and a written price before ordering.

Common Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Aubrey Homes

• Clay-soil heave tilting posts and binding operators. Aubrey’s Blackland Prairie soil swells in spring and contracts in August. Older pipe-frame gate posts on acreage west of US 377 move inches out of plumb, binding the motor and losing limit settings. We re-plumb, re-hang, and reset limits so the operator works against a gate that’s actually square.
• Hail and hard freeze damage to operator housings and boards. February 2021’s hard freeze and annual spring hail storms crack plastic operator covers and destroy control boards. This shows up most on first-cycle HOA hardware installed after 2018. We replace boards, reseal housings, and protect the operator against the next storm.
• Shared entry system desync in gated communities. When a keypad, loop detector, or access control board falls out of sync with the gate operator in an HOA community, the whole entry backs up. We coordinate with the management company, keep residents moving, and restore the entry without leaving the gate propped open.
• Sagging ranch gates and worn hinges on equestrian acreage. Decades-old welded pipe gates on Aubrey equestrian properties carry more weight than they were built for. Over years of clay movement, the hinges bind and the gate sags. We correct the frame, replace worn hinges, and re-hang the panel to the operator before the motor burns out fighting the extra resistance.
