AfterGate Company in Tamarac, FL
Latch & Post Gate Repair is a gate company focused on one thing: the latch that holds the gate and the post that carries it. Tamarac keeps us busy because the city was built as a planned community starting in 1963, which means hundreds of HOA gates installed across the 70s, 80s, and 90s are now reaching the end of their service life at the same time. We work on swing gates, slide gates, and electric openers for HOAs, property managers, and single-family homeowners across Tamarac. If you need a straight answer on what a repair will cost, call (626) 649-4572 and you’ll get a live person, any hour.
Why Tamarac Homes Are Different
Tamarac was purpose-built as one of Florida’s first large-scale planned retirement communities, and today it has one of the highest concentrations of HOA-gated communities per square mile in Broward County. That’s not a fact we read somewhere; it’s the reality we see every time we pull into Woodmont, Kings Point, the Lakes of Tamarac, or any of the dozens of villa and condo communities strung along McNab Road and Commercial Boulevard. The original gates in these neighborhoods are mostly decorative aluminum or wrought-iron swing gates hung on poured-slab entry monuments, and many of them have been patched rather than overhauled for forty years. The result is a Tamarac-specific pattern: hinge posts that have rusted from the inside, operators that still work but draw twice the current they should, and gates that sag just enough to trip the safety edge once a week.
Most Tamarac gate work is authorized by a property management company rather than a single owner. That matters because a repair usually requires a board quorum or an emergency spending threshold, and the difference between a gate fixed this week and a gate fixed next month is often just documentation. We write detailed estimates that a property manager can forward to a board without rewriting, and our technicians know Florida HOA statute 720 well enough to explain what’s emergency work and what goes through the normal approval path. Add in Tamarac’s inland-but-still-humid air, salt-laced from both the Atlantic and the Everglades side, and you get year-round corrosion on hinges, weld joints, and gearboxes that coastal technicians never see at quite this pace. Hurricane season from June through October brings the predictable second wave: gates knocked out of alignment by wind, control boards fried by lightning surges, and emergency calls from communities that can’t leave an entry open overnight.
Our Main Tamarac Services
The two calls we get most from Tamarac are for home gate repairs on aging swing-gate hardware and full replacements where the post and operator have outlived their useful life. Each service has its own detailed Tamarac page linked below.
Gate Repair in Tamarac
A gate repair in Tamarac often starts with a sagging gate that scrapes the driveway or a latch that no longer catches because the post has settled. We replace hinges, weld cracks where the design allows, realign posts, and rebuild latch assemblies, then test the full swing arc so the gate closes quietly against the stop. In older Tamarac communities, we regularly find hinge bolts that have corroded to half their original diameter, and we’ll tell you if the post itself needs concrete work before we touch the hardware. Full detail is on the Gate Repair in Tamarac page.
Gate Installation in Tamarac
Installation in Tamarac usually means working inside an HOA’s architectural standards, which often require matching the original ornamental aluminum style and coordinating with a property manager rather than a homeowner. We measure the opening, check the existing post and foundation, and give you a written price for the gate, hardware, and any structural work the site needs before a single bracket is ordered. Whether it’s a villa driveway or a full community entry, the process is the same: measure, quote, build, and walk away with a gate that opens smoothly. See Gate Installation in Tamarac for specifics.
Electric Gate Repair in Tamarac
Tamarac’s oldest openers are 1970s and 80s swing operators that have been rebuilding boards and gearboxes for years, and many property managers call us only when the gate stops moving entirely. We troubleshoot control boards, limit switches, safety loops, and receivers, and we stock parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems that dominate the older Tamarac communities. Lightning strikes during summer storms are a frequent culprit here, and we see far more surge-damaged boards in Tamarac than in nearby towns with newer infrastructure. Full service details live on the Electric Gate Repair in Tamarac page.

Brands We Service in Tamarac
We’re factory-trained on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, and several Tamarac communities still run original FAAC and Viking operators from the 1980s. We keep common replacement parts for these brands on our trucks when we head to Tamarac, which shortens turnaround for most control board and limit switch jobs. See our brands for the full list of systems we service.

Prices in Tamarac trend toward the middle to upper end of these ranges when we’re dealing with HOA entry gates that require heavier-duty hardware, two operators for a bi-parting gate, or concrete work on an aging entry monument. Older posts that need to be re-set before new hardware goes on add cost, and we’ll show you that number in writing before any work starts. Every visit includes a written price first, and nothing gets installed or removed until you’ve approved the figure.

What Tamarac 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."
