AfterGate Company in San Bernardino, CA
Latch & Post Gate Repair is the gate company San Bernardino homeowners call when a gate stops closing, sags on its hinges, or won’t open at all. We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists, and we focus on one thing: gates. What makes San Bernardino jobs different is the wind. The Cajon Pass funnels Santa Ana gusts down into the city, and gates in the northern neighborhoods take a beating that gates in Riverside or Ontario simply don’t. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why San Bernardino Homes Are Different
San Bernardino’s housing stock tells a story about how gates age here. Most of the residential inventory went up between the 1940s and 1970s, and a lot of those homes still carry their original wrought iron or chain-link gates. Deferred maintenance is common, so we see corroded hardware, failing welds, and seized hinges more often than not. Add in summer temperatures that routinely cross 105°F, and gate operator circuit boards cook faster than their manufacturers expect. Battery backups die younger, seals crack, and wooden boards warp under the UV load.
The groundwater matters too. San Bernardino’s hard aquifer water leaves calcium and mineral scale on hinges, latches, and track hardware. A gate that moves fine in a coastal city gets stubborn here. And then there’s the wind. Normally, we’d spend most of a repair call on typical wear and tear. In San Bernardino, especially in the northern neighborhoods near Devore and Verdemont, wind-load damage is the primary failure mode: bent frames, blown hinges, derailed slide tracks. We treat every north-end job as a wind repair first and a mechanical repair second. That changes which hardware we recommend and how deep we set the posts.
Our Main San Bernardino Services
Most San Bernardino homeowners reach us for one of three reasons: a gate that stopped working, a gate that was never there, or an electric opener that quit. Each service has its own page with local specifics.
Gate Repair in San Bernardino
Repair work here usually means a sagging hinge, a latch that won’t catch, or a welded seam that finally gave out after years of wind stress. We carry replacement hardware and we bring the tools to fix it on-site. In the older postwar neighborhoods, we frequently rebuild hinge posts rather than just swapping hardware, because the original posts have rusted at the base or loosened in sandy soil. Gate Repair in San Bernardino covers what this looks like on a typical call, including the written price you get before any work starts. We protect your floors with drop cloths and shoe covers on every visit, and we photograph the cleanup before we leave.
Gate Installation in San Bernardino
A new gate in San Bernardino has to be built for the wind. Lightweight aluminum or thin-gauge steel works fine in sheltered neighborhoods, but in the Devore and Verdemont corridors, standard installations fail within a season. We oversize the posts, set them deeper than code minimum, and upgrade the track brackets on sliding gates. Gate Installation in San Bernardino walks through what a quote includes and how we handle the full process, from post-setting to final hardware. Every installation carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Electric Gate Repair in San Bernardino
Electric gate repair here is often about the heat. Operator circuit boards and battery backups degrade faster than manufacturers rate them for, and solar-charged systems get strained during heat waves when the motor runs more often. We’re factory-trained on the brands families actually own: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Electric Gate Repair in San Bernardino covers troubleshooting, operator replacement, and what a repair looks like when a board has cooked or a battery no longer holds a charge.

What San Bernardino 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."
