AfterGate Company in Sachse, TX
We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist serving homeowners throughout Sachse, TX. What makes gate work in Sachse different comes down to what’s under the fence: expansive black clay that heaves seasonally and slowly pulls posts out of plumb. That soil movement, combined with a housing stock where most cedar privacy gates are now 20 to 30 years old, means the gate itself is often fine while the post underneath has quietly shifted or rotted. If your gate drags, won’t latch, or sits crooked, call (626) 649-4572 and we’ll send someone who understands exactly what Sachse soil does to a gate.
Why Sachse Homes Are Different
Sachse sits on North Texas Vertisol clay that shrinks hard in dry summers and swells back with winter and spring rain. A gate post set in that clay moves with it. We see it every August: a homeowner calls because the latch won’t catch, and the real problem is that the post has drifted a quarter inch sideways while the ground dried out. Resetting the post with a concrete bell footing below the active clay zone is the fix that lasts. A surface-level hardware swap just means the same call comes back next summer.
Add to that the age of the homes here. Most Sachse subdivisions were built between 1993 and 2015, and the standard cedar board-on-board privacy gates from that era are now hitting the 20-30 year point together. The pressure-treated 4×4 posts were often set shallow, and after two decades of wet-dry cycles and the February 2021 freeze, many have rotted at grade or shifted out of square. The gate hardware may still be serviceable, but the structure carrying it is done. That’s the Sachse pattern: post failure, not gate failure. Knowing that changes what we look at first on every visit.
Our Main Sachse Services
Every gate in Sachse eventually needs one of three things: a repair to keep the existing gate working, a full replacement when the structure is past saving, or electrical work when the opener stops responding. Each service has its own page with the local detail and pricing, linked below.
Gate Repair in Sachse
Most Sachse gate repairs come down to re-plumbing a shifted post and re-hanging the gate so it swings true and latches cleanly. We also replace sagging hinges, failed latches, and rotted pickets on cedar privacy gates. If the post moved with the clay, we reset it deeper with a bell footing so it stops moving. Read the full local detail on our Gate Repair in Sachse page.
Gate Installation in Sachse
When a Sachse fence gate is rotted or the frame is racked beyond repair, we install a new gate built for the soil it sits in: heavier posts, deeper footings, and hardware sized for a gate that moves through wet and dry seasons. We’ll walk the property, measure the opening, and give you a written price before anything is ordered. See what a full replacement involves on our Gate Installation in Sachse page.
Electric Gate Repair in Sachse
Electric gate openers in Sachse fail for a mix of reasons: soil movement misaligns the safety edges, North Texas heat bakes circuit boards, and the February 2021 freeze stressed wiring and motors across Collin County. We service LiftMaster, Ghost Controls, Viking, and DoorKing systems on driveway and pedestrian gates. Details and pricing are on our Electric Gate Repair in Sachse page.

Sachse pricing runs a little higher than flatter parts of D-FW when a post has shifted and the footing needs to go below the active clay zone; that’s the work that keeps a gate latching through wet springs and dry Augusts. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before any work begins, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice.

What Sachse Customers Say
"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."
- Ravi Menon"Gate motor died and they replaced it carefully, cleaning every bit of debris off the driveway. Mindful not to leave the yard open with our dog out. Great crew."
