AfterGate Company in Lynnwood, WA
We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving Lynnwood with gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Lynnwood is different from the quieter bedroom towns around it: the housing stock is older, the commercial corridors along Highway 99 are dense, and the maritime drizzle never really stops from October through May. That combination means gate hardware here fails in specific, predictable ways, and we schedule our Lynnwood work around those realities. If you need a latch, hinge, or operator looked at, call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers.
Why Lynnwood Homes Are Different
Most of Lynnwood’s homes were built in the 1960s through the 1980s, ranch-style and split-level houses on generous lots with wood privacy fences and swing gates that have now spent forty or fifty winters in Puget Sound moisture. The persistent humidity works into the soil line where wood gate posts meet concrete footings, and the result is rot that no amount of paint can stop. Hinge pins corrode. Latches seize. North- and west-facing gates fare worst because they rarely dry out between rainy seasons, so rust and swelling compound month after month.
Along Highway 99 and the I-5 corridor, the picture changes entirely. Lynnwood has one of the densest concentrations of 1970s-1990s apartment complexes in south Snohomish County, and many of those properties still run the original automated slide and swing gate operators from when they were built. Those entry-level 1990s operators are now well past end-of-life. By the time a property manager calls us, the operator, the bottom track, and the post anchors are often failing together. That kind of simultaneous wear is a Lynnwood signature, and it changes how we quote and how we repair.
Our Main Lynnwood Services
These are the three jobs Lynnwood homeowners and property managers call us about most, each with its own page for the full details.
Gate Repair in Lynnwood
Wooden swing gates in Lynnwood give out at the hinge and latch first, because the soil stays damp and the hardware rusts from the inside. We see rot at the post base, sagging doors that scrape the walkway, and latch strikes that no longer line up. Gate Repair in Lynnwood walks through what a repair visit looks like, the price ranges for common fixes, and how we protect your floors while we work.
Gate Installation in Lynnwood
A new gate in Lynnwood has to be built for soggy ground and decades of rain. That means post anchors that drain, hardware that resists corrosion, and framing that won’t twist after a few wet seasons. Gate Installation in Lynnwood explains what a full install includes, from setting posts to hanging the door, and the written pricing you’ll see before any work is scheduled.
Electric Gate Repair in Lynnwood
Lynnwood’s apartment complexes and some larger residential properties rely on automated slide and swing gates that run daily, often on original 1990s components. Operators from Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing are common here, and we repair them on site with factory-trained technicians who know the failure patterns. Electric Gate Repair in Lynnwood covers symptoms, safety checks, and the repair process in detail.

What Lynnwood 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."
- Derek Pulanco
