AfterGate Company in Pomona, CA
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Pomona gate company focused on one thing: gates that close, latch, and hold. We work on the city’s aging wrought iron driveway gates, tubular steel pedestrian gates, and the electric openers that move them. Pomona’s Santa Ana wind corridors and 100-degree summers put a specific kind of stress on gate hardware, and most of our calls involve hinge stress, wind-thrown panels, or opener motors that have baked in the inland heat. Every job gets a written price before we start, and you can reach a live person at (626) 649-4572 any hour.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits where the San Gabriel Valley opens into the Inland Empire, and the wind remembers that. Santa Ana events accelerate through Brea Canyon and Tonner Canyon and hit the city with enough force to slam unsecured gates against their stops, bend frame corners, and strip worm gears in slide-gate operators overnight. We see more wind-related hinge and latch failures in Pomona than we do in neighboring foothill or coastal communities.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Pomona is full of post-WWII tract homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, and the wrought iron driveway gates on those properties were almost always retrofitted later, often in the 1990s and early 2000s. That means the gate posts were never poured or set with the gate in mind. Two or three decades later, mismatched posts lean, hinges tear loose from stucco, and entire streets in South Pomona and near downtown fail around the same time because they were gated around the same year. Our crews stock rebuilt actuator kits for the mid-2000s LiftMaster and Mighty Mule swing-gate openers common in those zip codes, because that’s what nearly every run there needs. The inland summer heat bakes powder-coat finishes, cracks rubber seals, and shortens opener motor life well below what coastal cities experience.
Our Main Pomona Services
The two calls we answer most in Pomona are a gate that no longer closes properly and an electric opener that stopped moving the gate at all. Each service has its own Pomona page with full detail.
Gate Repair in Pomona
Most Pomona gate repair calls start with a gate that drags on the concrete, a latch that will not catch, or hinges that have pulled loose from a stucco post. Wind damage and heat-warped frames are common contributors here. We rebuild hinge mounts, re-set posts where possible, replace worn latches, and straighten frames that Santa Ana winds have twisted. The full scope lives on our Gate Repair in Pomona page, including how we handle powder-coat touch-up after a repair.
Gate Installation in Pomona
New gate installation in Pomona means working with the city’s older property lines and post-WWII lot layouts. We measure for the gate, check the existing post set, and recommend hardware that matches the gate’s weight and the wind load it will face. If the posts are too far gone to carry a new gate safely, we say so before any work is quoted. Details on materials, sizing, and the install process are on our Gate Installation in Pomona page.
Electric Gate Repair in Pomona
Electric gate failures in Pomona fall into two patterns: motors that overheat through repeated summer cycling, and control boards or actuator gears that fail after a hard wind event forces the gate past its stops. We diagnose the opener, check the safety edges, and repair or replace the actuator rather than pushing a full system replacement when the existing unit is worth saving. Our Electric Gate Repair in Pomona page covers the diagnostic and repair process, including the brands we typically find on Pomona properties.

Brands We Service in Pomona
We service Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing openers, along with several others. Because the South Pomona vintage runs so heavily toward mid-2000s LiftMaster and Mighty Mule units, we keep rebuilt actuator kits for those models on our trucks. That reduces the chance of a two-trip repair. See the full list on our brands page.

Most straightforward gate repairs and like-for-like replacements do not require a permit, but if a new driveway gate means new posts or changes to the driveway approach, Pomona may require plan approval. We will tell you what applies to your specific property before any work is quoted.
Yes. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before we step inside, and we take a photo of the cleaned work area before we leave. It is part of our standard routine on every Pomona job, not an add-on. Ask us to run quiet tools if nap time matters and we will work around it.

What Pomona 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."
