Gate Repair Before & After in San Antonio, TX

A gate either works or it doesn’t. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to at Latch and Post Gate Repair San Antonio. We’ve been fixing, hanging, and automating gates across San Antonio since 2009, and the photos below show what actually changes when a gate gets the attention it needs. You can read about our process all day, but seeing a sagging driveway gate stand straight again tells the story faster. Here’s what recent jobs looked like before we arrived and after we left.

Wrought Iron Driveway Gate Rehang in Alamo Heights

BeforeBeforeAfterAfter
Before: gate dragging on concrete, hinge post leaning inward
BeforeBeforeAfterAfter
After: gate swings level, latch closes clean

The hinge post had leaned far enough that the gate was carving a groove into the driveway. The homeowner assumed the gate itself was bent. It wasn’t. We pulled the post back to plumb, welded in a heavier hinge set rated for the gate’s weight, and reset the latch so it caught without lifting. Total time on site was about three hours, and the gate now swings with one hand.

Electric Gate Operator Replacement in Stone Oak

BeforeBeforeAfterAfter
Before: burned-out operator, gate stuck half open
Technician repairing a black wrought iron gate latch
After: new LiftMaster operator, remotes reprogrammed

The gate stopped mid-cycle and wouldn’t respond to any remote. We found the original operator had shorted after years of San Antonio summer heat. We replaced it with a LiftMaster unit matched to the gate’s weight and travel, reinstalled the safety edges, and reprogrammed every remote and the keypad on the spot. The gate has cycled reliably since, and the owner can open it from the house again.

Wood Gate Frame Rebuild in Terrell Hills

Professional welding technician performing expert metal gate repair and maintenance.
Before: rotted frame, gate pulling apart at the corners
Professional applying epoxy filler to repair a metal gate post
After: new cedar frame, squared corners, fresh hardware

The gate had rotted at the bottom rail and the whole thing sagged outward. We rebuilt the frame with pressure-treated cedar, added steel corner brackets, and reused the original pickets so the gate still matched the fence. The post was still solid, so no concrete work was needed. Written price was agreed before we started, and the drop cloths caught every bit of sawdust.

Ghost Controls Retrofit on an Existing Gate in Helotes

Two professional technicians installing a black wrought iron driveway gate.
Before: manual-only gate, owner tired of getting out of the truck
Professional contractor performing metal gate installation and repair work
After: Ghost Controls opener, working from the driveway

The gate itself was fine. The owner just wanted to stop getting out of the truck in the rain. We mounted a Ghost Controls opener kit, ran the power from a nearby GFCI outlet, and paired two remotes and a wireless keypad. He got a written quote before we ordered anything, and the system was installed in one visit. The gate now opens from the street and closes behind him automatically.

Commercial Slide Gate Track Repair Near the Medical Center

Two professionals installing a modern black metal driveway gate
Before: slide gate jammed off track, wheels grinding
Technician using a multimeter to repair an electric gate control board
After: track straightened, wheels replaced, gate rolling smooth

A delivery truck had clipped the gate and knocked it off its track. One wheel was shot, and the track had a bow in the middle. We replaced both wheels, straightened the track, and adjusted the end stops so the gate couldn’t overtravel again. We also checked the operator’s limit settings, since the impact had thrown them off. The property manager had the gate back in operation the same afternoon.

Latch and Post Reset on a Pool Gate in King William

Technician performing professional electric gate repair and maintenance
Before: latch missing the strike, gate swinging open
Technician performing professional electric sliding gate repair and maintenance
After: latch aligned, gate self-closes and catches

A pool gate that won’t latch is a serious safety problem, not a cosmetic one. The post had shifted just enough that the latch missed the strike plate. We reset the post, packed the base with new concrete, and adjusted the self-closing hinges so the gate swings shut and catches every time. Most standard gate-latch replacements run between $95 and $185, and the exact number is always in writing before we touch anything.
