Call (325) 252-5195 and a live person answers, day or night, no voicemail and no callback queue.
We’re a Cedarwell-family gate specialist. That means we don’t split our attention between fences, decks, and a hundred other trades. Gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair are what we do. Every gate comes down to two parts: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on, and it’s why homeowners across San Antonio call us when a gate stops closing, sags on its hinges, or refuses to open at all.
Here’s what matters when you’re standing in your driveway with a gate that won’t budge:
- We answer the phone. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.
- We show up fast. Same-day service is available for most San Antonio neighborhoods, and next-day is typical for our wider coverage area.
- You get a written price before any work starts. No surprises, no pressure to accept.
- The technician wears shoe covers and lays down drop cloths before stepping inside your home, and photographs the cleanup before leaving.
If your gate is stuck, sagging, or making a grinding noise every time the motor kicks on, don’t wait until it fails completely. Call us at (325) 252-5195 and we’ll get someone out to you.

Fast, Local Gate Repair
Most gate repairs in San Antonio take between one and three hours on site, and we schedule with real urgency because we know a gate that won’t close is a gate that isn’t protecting your kids, your pets, or anything inside your yard. When you call (325) 252-5195, we’ll ask what the gate is doing (not opening, opening halfway, sagging, noisy), confirm your address, and give you a service window that works with your day.
We arrive in a marked vehicle, wearing a uniform, and we introduce ourselves before we touch anything. The technician will listen to the gate, check the latch and post, inspect the opener if it’s electric, and then hand you a written price for what’s needed. You decide. No work starts without your approval. It’s about 90 minutes of focused attention, and when it’s done, we walk you through what was fixed and how to keep it running.
Because we’re factory-trained on the brands families actually own, LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, the right fix usually happens on the first visit. We don’t show up with generic parts and hope for the best. We bring the correct board, sensor, hinge, or latch for your specific opener.
Electric gate repair often involves more than just swapping a part. We trace the full circuit, check the transformer and battery backup, and test the safety sensors before we call it done. For new gate installation, we quote a full project price in writing, including concrete work if the post needs resetting.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in San Antonio?
Gate repair in San Antonio typically runs between $150 and $520 for most common fixes, with electric gate repair landing higher because of the opener and control board components. You’ll always see the exact number in writing before we touch anything. No estimate games, no “while we’re here” add-ons.
| Repair Type | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Gate latch replacement | $150 – $280 |
| Hinges and sagging correction | $180 – $350 |
| Post resetting or stabilization | $250 – $500 |
| Electric opener repair (board, sensor, or motor) | $220 – $520 |
| New gate installation | $800 – $2,900 |
Most standard gate-latch replacements run between $150 and $280, and you’ll see the exact number in writing before we touch anything. If the post itself has shifted, that’s a bigger job because we may need to dig, level, and re-set the post in fresh concrete. We’ll explain the difference and show you the price for both options if both apply.
Call (325) 252-5195 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the written price you receive is the price you pay. If the job needs an extra hour, that’s on us, not you.
Electric Gate Repair in San Antonio
When an electric gate won’t open, the problem is almost always one of four things: a worn control board, a failing sensor, a dead battery backup, or a motor that’s been working too hard because the gate itself is out of alignment. In neighborhoods like Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills, where automatic driveway gates are common, we see the same patterns year after year. San Antonio’s heat is rough on plastic sensor housings and control boards that sit in direct sun. We check all of it.
We service LiftMaster gate openers, FAAC systems, BFT operators, Linear openers, Viking controls, Ghost Controls openers, DoorKing systems, Elite openers, and Mighty Mule openers. That’s the full list. We don’t pretend to service brands we haven’t been factory-trained on.
If your gate is moving slower than it used to, or it stops halfway and reverses, call us. A slow gate is often a gate that’s about to burn out its motor, and catching it early usually means a $200 fix instead of an $800 replacement.
Areas We Cover
We serve San Antonio and the surrounding communities across Bexar County and into Comal and Kendall counties. If you’re in New Braunfels, Boerne, Alamo Heights, Windcrest, Castle Hills, Leon Valley, or Timberwood Park, we’ll come to you. Same-day service is often available in San Antonio proper; next-day is typical for our wider coverage area.
We also regularly work in New Braunfels, Boerne, Alamo Heights, Windcrest, Castle Hills, Leon Valley, and Timberwood Park. If you’re not sure whether we cover your street, call (325) 252-5195 and ask. We’ll tell you straight.
What to Expect When We Arrive
We follow a routine on every visit, and it’s the same whether we’re replacing a latch in Windcrest or diagnosing a control board in Boerne. It’s the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values at work:
- Clean up like it’s our own home. We put on shoe covers before we step inside your house or garage, and we lay drop cloths on the floor where we’re working. Your floors stay clean.
- Ask before we move or touch anything. The technician will ask permission before moving a car, a trash bin, or anything blocking the gate.
- Respect your family’s time and quiet hours. If kids are napping or a baby is sleeping, tell us. We can use quiet tools or come back at a better time.
- Explain the price before the work. You’ll see the written price and approve it before any repair begins.
We also choose pet-safe lubricants where there’s a choice, because we know dogs sniff everything and kids play near the gate. And before we leave, we take a photo of the cleaned-up work area and show it to you. That’s part of the job, not an upsell.
Why San Antonio Homeowners Call Latch & Post
We’ve been doing this since 2009 as part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists. The company is led by Cody Beckman, and the standard we hold ourselves to hasn’t changed since day one: written price before work starts, shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and a cleanup photo before we leave.
Every repair and installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair isn’t done right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print. If the gate sags again six months later because we set a post wrong, we’re back out to fix it at no charge.
We’re not a general handyman service that happens to know a little about gates. We’re not a national call center that dispatches whoever’s closest. We’re a local San Antonio gate specialist with the training, the parts, and the care routine to get your gate working right the first time.
Gate Repair Near Me: Common Problems We See in San Antonio
Sagging Gates
A gate that drags on the ground or won’t close all the way usually means the hinges are worn or the post has shifted. San Antonio’s clay soil expands and contracts with rain and drought, and over time it can push a post out of alignment. We’ll check the hinges first, and if the post has moved, we’ll quote you a price to reset it in fresh concrete.
Latches That Won’t Catch
Gate latches fail more often than any other part. The internal spring rusts, the strike plate shifts, or the latch simply wears out. A standard latch replacement takes about 45 minutes, and it’s one of the most affordable repairs we do.
Electric Openers That Won’t Respond
If the remote does nothing, the keypad doesn’t work, or the gate only opens from inside, we check the control board, the safety sensors, and the battery backup. We carry replacement boards and sensors for every brand we service.
Noisy Gates
A gate that squeaks, grinds, or rattles is telling you something. It might be a hinge that needs lubrication, a wheel that’s worn out, or a motor that’s working too hard. We’ll diagnose the cause and show you the fix in writing before we start.

- Opal Reddick"Careful and considerate from start to finish. Our kids were playing in the yard and the crew was mindful of them the whole time. Gate opens like new and the area was spotless after."
