AfterGate Company in Lighthouse Point, FL
Gate repair in Lighthouse Point is different from almost anywhere else in Broward County because the city’s dense canal network puts nearly every driveway within yards of saltwater. That means gate motors, hinges, and control boards corrode faster here than they do even a few miles inland. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus exclusively on gates: the latch, the post, the motor, and the steel or aluminum that holds it all together. If your gate is sagging, grinding, or not opening at all, call (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Most of Lighthouse Point’s housing stock is upscale single-family homes built between the 1960s and 1990s on canal-front lots. Circular driveways, ornamental swing gates, and slide gates in wrought iron or aluminum are common. What matters for gate work is that these homes were built before gate manufacturers really understood coastal salt exposure. We regularly see original motors and hardware that were never spec’d for a salt-mist environment, and full motor or hinge replacement is often the honest fix rather than a patch job.
The salt air is the constant. South Florida humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and canal-lined streets create a microclimate that accelerates oxidation on ferrous components and pushes moisture into gate operator circuit boards. Technicians who work Lighthouse Point learn quickly that a standard steel hinge on a canal-facing gate can corrode through in 18 to 24 months. That’s why we spec marine-grade stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware on Lighthouse Point jobs, regardless of what the homeowner originally had installed. Hurricane season adds another layer: hinges, posts, and automated arms take real stress when storms pass through, and some of what we repair each fall is damage from gates that were never properly secured or disconnected.
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point call us most often about two things: a gate that no longer opens or closes reliably, and a gate that needs to be replaced or built new to stand up to canal air. Each service has its own page with local pricing and details.
Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
A gate that drags on the driveway, a latch that won’t catch, a hinge that’s rusted through: these are the calls we know well in Lighthouse Point, and the salt air usually has a hand in all of them. We inspect the full assembly, name the exact part that’s failed, and quote a written price before any work begins. See Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point for what we check, what it costs, and how fast we can get to you.
Gate Installation in Lighthouse Point
New gates in Lighthouse Point need hardware chosen for the water, not the catalog photo. We build and hang swing and slide gates in wrought iron or aluminum, and we recommend marine-grade posts and hinges from the start so the salt air doesn’t win in two years. The process is measured and scheduled, not rushed. See Gate Installation in Lighthouse Point for the full scope and written-price details.
Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
When an opener hums but nothing moves, or the keypad goes dead, moisture in the circuit board is often the culprit in Lighthouse Point. We’re factory-trained on the brands homeowners actually have, and we carry the parts that fail most in coastal air so the fix can often happen on the first visit. See Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point for operator diagnostics, safety-edge work, and what a typical repair runs.

What Lighthouse Point Customers Say
"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."
- Derek Pulanco"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."
