AfterGate Company in Lantana, FL
Lantana is a saltwater town. The Lake Worth Lagoon runs along the eastern edge, canals thread through the neighborhoods, and that means gate hardware here corrodes faster than almost anywhere else in Palm Beach County. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus on the three jobs Lantana homeowners call about most: gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Each has its own page linked below. For a straight answer on your gate, call (626) 649-4572 – a live person picks up.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Most Lantana homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s. They’re concrete-block and masonry construction, often on canal or Intracoastal frontage, and the gate posts and pilasters were poured long before anyone imagined mounting an automated gate on them. That matters because a gate operator adds weight and torque that older posts were never designed to carry. We regularly see posts that have cracked under the strain, or gates that sag because the post itself has shifted. In Lantana, the repair is rarely just the hinge – it’s the anchorage behind it.
The other Lantana constant is salt air. It comes from the ocean to the east and the lagoon to the west, and it works on mild steel year-round. Hinges seize. Operator housings pit. Control boards corrode at the terminals. A gate that would run fine for a decade five miles inland often needs real attention here within three or four years. The good news is that the right hardware selection and a few preventive steps make a measurable difference, and that’s exactly the kind of work we do most.
Our Main Lantana Services
These are the three services Lantana homeowners call us for, each with its own dedicated page.
Gate Repair in Lantana
Lantana gate repair usually starts with a call about a gate that won’t close, drags on the ground, or has swung loose after a storm. The most common culprits here are seized hinges from salt corrosion and posts that have shifted in the high water table. We name the exact brand and part before we touch anything, and the price you see is the price you pay. Full details are on the Gate Repair in Lantana page.
Gate Installation in Lantana
A new gate in Lantana has to be chosen for the site, not just the style. Canal-front lots sit at or near sea level, so posts need to be set with the water table in mind, and the hardware has to be rated for constant salt exposure. We measure, quote a written price, and install so the gate operates cleanly from day one. See the Gate Installation in Lantana page for what’s included.
Electric Gate Repair in Lantana
Electric gate repair in Lantana often comes down to corroded control boards, dead operator motors, or misaligned photo eyes after a storm. We work on the brands families here actually own – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule – and we diagnose before we replace. The full approach is laid out on the Electric Gate Repair in Lantana page.

What Lantana 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."
