Latch & Post Gate Repair is a gate company serving Madera, CA with repair, installation, and electric gate work. Madera is different from the Valley towns around it because the housing stock shifts from old ranch properties on large lots to brand-new subdivisions, and the same technician can find a welded steel farm gate on one call and a solar-powered automatic opener on the next. The dry heat and gusty winds mean motors and hinges take more abuse here than in coastal areas. If you need a gate looked at in Madera, call (559) 785-2501.
Why Madera Homes Are Different
We work on both ends of Madera’s housing spectrum, and each one changes how we approach a gate job. The older ranch homes in the city core often sit on large lots with custom gates built from welded steel pipe or wood. Those gates were typically made to fit a specific opening, so there is no off-the-shelf replacement when a hinge pulls loose or a post shifts. The original automatic openers on those properties often depend on underground sensor loops, and after years of soil movement, those loops fail. We regularly retrofit those systems with above-ground photo eyes instead, which is a cleaner fix for Madera’s shifting ground.
Newer subdivisions like Riverstone have a different profile: standardized aluminum or steel gates, HOA expectations, and electronic openers that need to work quietly and reliably. In both settings, the Madera climate does the same two things. Hot, dry summers push gate operators to overheat and pull dust into motors and hinges. Occasional winter rains work on older steel with rust. Homeowners here see more wear on motor capacitors, hinge bearings, and limit switches than people in cooler, wetter climates, so maintenance schedules matter more.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Madera Services
The two calls we get most from Madera homeowners are a gate that has stopped latching or swinging properly, and a gate that needs to be replaced or automated. Here is how those jobs work here.
Gate Repair in Madera
Gate repair in Madera usually means working with a gate that was built for this specific property, not one that came out of a catalog. We replace worn hinges, straighten or reset posts, rebuild sagging frames, and get latches working again on gates that have been misbehaving for months. The dust and heat here wear hinge bearings faster than you would expect, and a gate that drags on the ground in June is usually a hinge problem, not a concrete problem. We carry the parts that fit older ranch gates and newer steel models. For full details, see Gate Repair in Madera.
Gate Installation in Madera
New Gate Installation in Madera jobs usually fall into two groups: replacing a tired wood or steel gate on an older home, or adding a gate and opener to a newer property or gated community. We measure the opening, discuss material choices that suit the property, and write a full price before anything starts. Shoe covers and drop cloths come out on every visit, and we walk the yard to check post depth and soil before recommending a design, because Madera’s soil shifts and a gate installed on shallow posts will sag.
Electric Gate Repair in Madera
Electric gate repair in Madera covers openers that overheat in summer, remotes and keypads that stop responding, safety sensors knocked out of alignment by wind, and gates that start and stop erratically. We service the brands families here actually run: BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls among them. The most common fix on older Madera properties is converting a failed underground loop to a photo-eye system, which is more stable in this soil. More detail is on Electric Gate Repair in Madera.

What Madera Customers Say
"Our gate opener quit and they came out quick. The tech was careful not to leave the yard open while our dog was out, which I really appreciated. Clean work, swept up the metal shavings."
- Eleanor Boggs"Installed a new gate motor and remotes. Respectful crew, protected the driveway, and cleaned up every bit of welding debris. Walked me through the new setup patiently."
- Nick Farrow"Good repair on a sagging gate. Part for the older motor took a few days, so two trips, but they explained it and were tidy and polite each time. Gate works smoothly now."
