Antelope’s 1980s-to-2000s starter-home subdivisions shape nearly every gate job we take here in one way or another narrow driveways, HOA-mandated ornamental gate styles that have to be matched, and lightweight aluminum or steel tube gates that tract builders installed by the dozen. When the hot summers have seized a hinge or the winter frost has warped a track, you want a gate company that knows those street-by-street realities, not a handyman guessing. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus on one thing only: gates. Call us at (279) 266-8501 and a live person answers.
Why Antelope Homes Are Different
Most of Antelope is single-story, wood-frame construction with attached garages and the original roll-up or sliding gate the builder put in. That means the gates we see east of Walerga Road are often the original 1980s ornamental iron units with no accessible grease fittings. Those hinges seize up, and the standard fix is drilling and tapping new zerks so the hinge can actually be lubricated again. Many technicians won’t do that drill-and-tap work; we do it as a matter of routine.
The climate is the other constant. Antelope’s hot, dry summers make metal gate components expand and contract day after day. Lightweight aluminum gates show hinge sag within a few seasons. Steel tube gates fare better structurally but rust at the welds where the builder skipped primer. Then winter frost cycles come through and automatic opener gears crack under the cold load. A gate repair here usually isn’t one isolated problem; it’s two or three small failures that compounded.
Add HOAs into the picture and you get another Antelope-specific requirement: gate repairs often have to match a pre-approved ornamental style, which means we’re matching specific tube profiles, finial types, and powder-coat shades rather than just hanging whatever is closest. Narrow side yards and tight setback clearances make access a real part of the job too. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and we lay drop cloths and wear shoe covers on every visit so your floors stay clean while we work around the tight spaces.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Antelope Services
Most Antelope homeowners call us for one of three things: a sagging or seized gate that needs repair, a full replacement when the old gate has failed for good, or an electric opener that has stopped responding. Each of those services has its own Antelope page with detailed pricing and local notes.
Gate Repair in Antelope
A sagging gate in Antelope usually comes down to hinge wear accelerated by years of heat expansion, or a track that shifted out of alignment in the clay-heavy soil. We repair hinges, realign tracks, replace latches, and rebuild gate posts where they’ve rotted or pulled loose from the fence. Most repairs are quoted the same visit and completed within a couple of hours of arriving. No grease fittings on the old iron hinges east of Walerga? We drill and tap new ones as part of the job. Read the full breakdown on the Gate Repair in Antelope page.
Gate Installation in Antelope
When a gate has failed past the point of repair, or you’re replacing a builder-grade tube gate with something that matches your home better, we install new gates sized to the opening and set into fresh posts with concrete footings deep enough for Antelope’s soil conditions. That’s not a one-day job, and it shouldn’t be rushed: we measure, order, and schedule a day that works for your family. HOA compliance matters here, so we match the mount pattern and gate swing that your association has already approved. Everything is on the Gate Installation in Antelope page.
Electric Gate Repair in Antelope
Automatic gate openers in Antelope sit in full sun all summer, and those plastic gears inside LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear units get brittle fast. The frost doesn’t help either. We replace cracked gears, swap failed control boards, re-splice damaged wiring, and re-tune the opener limits so the gate doesn’t slam or stall. Our techs are factory-trained on the brands families in Antelope actually own, which means we show up with the right parts on the truck instead of ordering and coming back. Details live on the Electric Gate Repair in Antelope page.

Every visit starts with a written price before any work begins, and that number is what you pay, no after-the-fact additions.
