AfterGate Company in Palm Beach, FL
Palm Beach gate work is not like gate work in West Palm Beach or Lake Worth. This is a narrow barrier island where every iron hinge, control board, and low-voltage wire sits between two bodies of salt water: the Atlantic on one side, the Intracoastal on the other. Homes here are older, larger, and governed by an architectural review board that most mainland cities do not have. We repair and install gates for these properties, and we plan for the salt, the storms, and the paperwork before we touch a single bolt.
If you need a technician who knows the difference between a Mizner-era hinge pin and an off-the-shelf replacement, call Latch & Post Gate Repair at (626) 649-4572.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Most of Palm Beach was built between the 1920s and 1940s, much of it in Addison Mizner’s Mediterranean Revival style. That means ornamental wrought-iron and cast-iron gates with details you cannot order from a catalog. When an estate gate sags or a hinge pin seizes, the right repair is often a period-sensitive fix using a machined or hand-fitted part, not a hardware-store bracket bolted over the original iron. A badly matched repair on a South County Road gate is visible from the street.
The second difference is salt. The island is roughly one mile wide, so Atlantic air hits the ocean side while Intracoastal air works the west side. We see gate motors corroded from both directions at once, hinge pins rusted solid, and low-voltage circuit boards green with corrosion in under five years. Mainland gates a few miles west simply do not degrade at this rate. Add hurricane season with Palm Beach County wind-load anchoring requirements, and you start to see why Palm Beach gate work is its own trade.
The third difference is approval. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission, called ARCOM locally, reviews many gate alterations and replacements before work may begin, especially on prominent or landmarked properties. A storm-damaged gate cannot always be swapped the day after the storm. Someone has to file drawings and wait for the board. We tell estate managers this on the first call, because out-of-town contractors often do not, and the delay is a surprise nobody needs in November.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most Palm Beach calls fall into two groups: a gate that has stopped opening correctly, and a gate that needs to be replaced with something ARCOM will approve. Each service has its own Palm Beach page with pricing and specifics.
Gate Repair in Palm Beach
Repair work on the island usually means freeing a stuck hinge, replacing a corroded latch, squaring a wind-racked frame, or rebuilding a sagging leaf on a large estate gate. On older homes we work around the original iron rather than cutting it, and on newer automated gates we isolate the mechanical failure from the electronics before replacing anything. Gate Repair in Palm Beach covers what we fix and what it costs here.
Gate Installation in Palm Beach
Installation on the island starts with ARCOM, when the project needs it, then moves to wind-load anchoring and material selection. We install new iron, steel, and aluminum gates with Palm Beach County high-wind standards in mind, and we coordinate the design review paperwork so the gate does not sit unapproved. Gate Installation in Palm Beach walks through the process and the pricing.
Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach
Salt air is hardest on the parts you cannot see: the operator’s board, the loop detector, the keypad wiring, the intercom terminal strips. We diagnose these systems on the brands most Palm Beach estates actually run, and we replace corroded boards and terminals with parts that are rated for a salt environment where such parts exist. Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach lists the exact systems and symptoms we handle.

What Palm Beach 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."
