The gates around here are different from what you’d find ten miles west. Clovis sits against open farmland, and that changes everything: wider gates, longer driveways, more solar, more dust, and a lightning pattern in summer that keeps us busy in very specific neighborhoods. We know what breaks, why it breaks, and how to fix it so it doesn’t break again in three months.

Why Latch and Post Gate Repair Fresno Is Clovis’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company

We’re part of the Cedarwell family of independently owned and operated gate specialists, and we’ve been doing this since 2009. Gate repair is the only thing we do. That focus shows up in small ways, like when our technician lays drop cloths before stepping into your garage to reach the operator, or when he puts on shoe covers so no farmland dust or gravel gets tracked across your entry tile. We clean up before we leave and send you a photo of it, because that’s what the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values require: clean up like it’s our own home, ask before we move or touch anything, respect your time and quiet hours, and explain the price before the work.

Clovis homeowners call us for the same reason Harlan Ranch acreage owners do: our technicians are factory-trained on LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite operators, and they actually carry the parts. A gate operator that faults out after a summer storm isn’t a mystery to us. We know exactly which board to check and what it costs before we start. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, Latch & Post makes it right. No argument, no fine print.

Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Fresno, Central Valley office, and crews serve Clovis locally. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. When your gate won’t open at 6 a.m. and you need to get to work, a real person picks up.

Electric Gate Motor in Clovis

Electric Gate Motor repair in Clovis most often means swapping a burned-out capacitor, replacing stripped drive gears, or diagnosing a motor that runs but won’t move the gate. The wide tube steel and wrought iron gates on Clovis acreages are heavy, some 20 feet and 400 pounds or more, and an undersized motor gives up quickly. A motor replacement here typically runs $350 to $680 depending on the operator brand and gate weight, and you’ll see that number in writing before we touch anything.

When a Motor Is Worth Repairing vs Replacing

We don’t sell new motors just to mark up the invoice. If your FAAC or LiftMaster motor is less than about eight years old and the rest of the operator is sound, we repair it. If the motor has seized after years of dust ingestion or the gearbox is worn out, replacing the operator often costs less than rebuilding an old motor, and we’ll show you both numbers side by side.

Solar-Powered Gate Motors

Clovis has a lot of solar gate operators because many acreage driveways are too far from the house to run mains power cheaply. The recurring problem is panels that were sized for a smaller gate or aimed badly. We re-aim panels, upgrade wattage where needed, and test the battery bank under actual Clovis load conditions before we call the job done.

Gate Access Control in Clovis

Gate Access Control in Clovis covers keypads, remote receivers, intercoms, and vehicle loop detectors, and it’s the part of the gate system most Clovis families touch every single day. Kids punching the keypad code, a delivery driver buzzing the intercom, the UPS truck pulling onto the loop detector: those systems fail by degrees, and a keypad that works intermittently is more dangerous than one that’s fully dead because you never know when you’ll be locked out. Typical access control repairs run $180 to $420, and adding a new keypad to an existing opener usually comes in around $260 to $350.

Adding a Keypad to an Existing Operator

You don’t need to replace the whole opener to add keypad entry. Most LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite operators have a receiver port that accepts a universal or brand-matched keypad. We program it on site, test it from outside the gate, and walk you through changing the code. That job takes about an hour on most Clovis properties.

Remote and Receiver Repairs

When a remote dies, we check whether it’s the remote or the receiver first, because half the time the remote is fine and the receiver board has a cold solder joint from years of sitting in a hot metal control box. Receiver replacement runs $160 to $280 on most Clovis gates.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis

We’re factory-trained on the operators families in Clovis actually own: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For this page’s focus on electric gate motors and access control, the three we see most often on Clovis acreages and Harlan Ranch-style properties are LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite. We keep common replacement parts for these brands stocked, which means a faster turnaround when your board or gearbox fails. No waiting a week for a part to ship.

Common Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Clovis Homes

• Control boards killed by summer lightning. East-side Clovis subdivisions sit right against open fields. When monsoonal thunderstorms roll through, lightning strikes bare ground nearby and surges travel through low-voltage landscape wiring into gate operator boards. DoorKing and LiftMaster control boards fried by this are the single most common repair we do in August and September.
• Farmland dust packing into slide gate tracks. Harvest season throws fine silt into the air for weeks, and it settles into rack and pinion tracks on slide gates. The operator strains harder each cycle until limit switches burn out. We clean tracks, reseal the track path, and replace the limit switches.
• Wide swing gates sagging because the hinge post was set shallow. A 16 to 20 foot gate on a long Clovis driveway exerts enormous leverage at the hinge post. When the footing was poured only 24 or 30 inches deep years ago, the post leans and the gate drags. Replacing just the motor or the panel without fixing the post means a second call within a year. We fix both in one visit.
• Powder coating chalking and flaking onto safety sensors. Clovis gets over 100°F for weeks at a stretch, and reflected heat from stucco walls and tile roofs ages powder coating faster than coastal climates. Flaking coating settles on photo eye lenses and the gate reverses for no reason. A good cleaning plus lens covers solves it, and we can recommend a Clovis-appropriate recoating schedule.
