Electric gate repair in Reedley usually costs between $180 and $650 depending on whether we’re replacing a hinge, rebuilding a sagging post, or swapping out a control board. Most Reedley jobs are done the same week, and urgent failures get a same-day visit when you call (559) 785-2501. We work on the older gates and legacy operators that are common here: property in Reedley splits between downtown homes with original ornamental iron and farms with heavy pipe-built swing gates. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, every single visit.
Latch & Post is a Electric Gate Repair specialist, not a general handyman. We’re part of the Cedarwell family, operating since 2009, and Cody Beckman leads our team on the technical side. Scheduling is coordinated from our Fresno office but the crews serving Reedley live and work in this part of the Valley. That means we know what the clay soil does to gate posts and what the summer heat does to control boards before we even pull up.
Why Latch and Post Gate Repair Fresno Is Reedley’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company
Reedley homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no voicemail and no callback queue. You tell us what the gate is doing, we ask a few pointed questions, and we give you a straight answer on whether it needs a technician today or can wait until morning.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. They carry the parts Reedley gates actually need: tension bars, hinge rebuild kits, gate wheels, and control boards for the brands this area runs. We service BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls equipment, and we stock parts in the truck so most repairs finish on the first visit.
Every job follows the Cedarwell Care Promise. Written price before work starts. Shoe covers and drop cloths before we step inside your home or garage. A photo of the cleanup before we leave. If your gate repair isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means Latch and Post makes it right, no argument and no fine print.
Styles & brands we work with
Electric Gate Motor in Reedley
Electric gate motor service in Reedley means diagnosing a motor that strains, hums, or stops responding on a swing or slide gate. The common culprit here isn’t the motor itself; it’s the gate it’s bolted to. Reedley’s clay soil expands in winter and contracts in summer, and a gate post that’s shifted even an inch makes the motor work against a bad angle until the armature burns out or a limit switch fails. We don’t just swap the motor. We check the post, the hinge alignment, and the travel limits before deciding what actually needs replacing. A motor replacement in Reedley typically runs $350 to $650 including the part and the setup, and you’ll see the exact figure in writing before we touch anything.
Opener Arm Replacement
When an opener arm gets bent or stripped, the gate usually moves halfway and stops. We’ve seen this on Reedley ranches where a tractor or a harvest truck clipped the gate while it was opening. We replace the arm, reset the open and close limits, and test the force settings so the operator isn’t fighting itself.
Solar Panel and Battery Service
Many Reedley orchard gates run on solar because running conduit out to a remote entrance is expensive. The panels get coated in dust from orchard work, and that dust cuts charging efficiency enough that the battery dies during foggy winter mornings. We clean the panel, test the charge controller, and replace the battery if it’s no longer holding a full charge. Call (559) 785-2501 if your gate is intermittent when the fog settles in.
Gate Access Control in Reedley
Gate access control in Reedley covers everything that tells an electric gate to open: keypads, remotes, loop detectors, and the control board that ties them together. Reedley’s older gates often have legacy control boards from the 1990s and early 2000s that run fine until a heat wave pushes them past their limit. When a board fails on a farm gate during harvest, the gate usually gets pinned open so trucks can pass, which is a security issue for the house behind it. A control board replacement in Reedley typically runs $280 to $480 depending on the operator model, and we can usually match or retrofit a modern board to the existing motor.
Remote and Keypad Programming
If your remote only works when you’re ten feet from the gate, the receiver may be the problem rather than the remote itself. We test the transmitter, check the antenna, and reprogram remotes and keypads on site. Keypad replacement runs $120 to $220 in Reedley and we’ll program all your remotes to the new code before we leave.
Loop Detector Repair
Loop detectors buried under a farm gate false-trigger when large metal equipment passes. This is a persistent issue on Reedley ranches during harvest. We can adjust the detector’s sensitivity, replace a faulty loop wire, or install a newer detector with better filtering against electromagnetic noise. Most loop detector repairs in Reedley cost $150 to $300.
Trusted Brands We Service in Reedley
We’re factory-trained on the brands Reedley families actually own: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For this area specifically we carry parts for BFT and Viking operators, which are common on older farm gates, and Linear and Ghost Controls, which show up on newer residential installs east of downtown. Having the right part in the truck means we’re not running back and forth across the Valley while your gate sits open.

AfterCommon Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Reedley Homes
- Sagging hinge posts from clay soil movement. Reedley’s expansive clay swells in winter and contracts in summer, and older posts without proper footings shift with every cycle. The gate sags, drags on the driveway, and the operator arm binds against the post.
- Legacy control boards failing in summer heat. Original LiftMaster and Viking boards from the 1990s run hot anyway, and Reedley’s July afternoons push them over the edge. Gates end up stuck open during the exact week the farm traffic is heaviest.
- Wooden gate warping on older Craftsman homes. Pre-WWII gates near downtown were built from solid wood and ornamental iron. Dry summers warp the wood, pull hinge screws loose, and cause the gate to scrape hard enough that the opener trips its force limit.
- Solar panel dust accumulation on ranches. The dust from orchard work coats solar panels and cuts charging output. Batteries drain during short winter days, and the gate moves slower and slower until it stops responding entirely.

FAQs About Electric Gate Repair in Reedley
The hinges are usually fine; the post they’re bolted to has shifted in the clay soil. Reedley’s expansive clay swells in winter and contracts in summer, and older posts without proper footings tilt a little each year. The gate sags and drags because the entire assembly has moved, not because the hinge pins wore out. The fix is resetting the post with a proper footing, and costs start around $500. Call (559) 785-2501 if your gate is scraping the driveway.
Dust from orchard work coats the solar panels all summer, and by winter the panels are producing a fraction of what they should. Shorter days and foggy mornings make it worse. The battery never fully recharges, the gate gets slower, and eventually it stops. The fix is panel cleaning, a charge controller check, and a battery replacement if needed, usually $150 to $300. Call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll test the whole system.
The track or the gate frame is expanding in the heat and binding against itself. It’s common here because of the extreme temperature swings; the metal cools and contracts at night, then expands under the afternoon sun. We inspect the track alignment, check for debris in the wheels, and adjust the clearance so the gate rolls freely through the full heat cycle. Most track and wheel repairs in Reedley run $180 to $320.
Yes. Loop detectors pick up the magnetic disturbance of large metal machines and mistake a tractor passing near the gate for a vehicle waiting on it. We can adjust the sensitivity, reposition the loop, or install a detector with better filtering against large-equipment interference. Most loop detector adjustments in Reedley cost $150 to $300. Call (559) 785-2501 and we’ll sort it before the next harvest.
Every repair and installation is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair isn’t right, we make it right, no argument and no fine print. That covers parts and labor on the work we did, for a full year from the day we finish. If something looks wrong after we leave, call (559) 785-2501 and a live person answers, day or night.
Out near a ranch off Dinuba Avenue, we serviced an old Viking swing gate on a pipe-framed orchard entrance that had sagged until the gate operator’s arm was binding. Our crew dug out the hinge post, discovered no concrete footing at all, and set a new post footing with proper depth before hanging the gate back square. The operator, still original from the 1990s, was testing fine on open/close limits by the time we left, saving the owner from a full replacement. That’s the kind of repair this page can actually prepare you for: vintage gates and legacy operators in clay-soil country, where post footings rot and foggy winters sap solar batteries in ways generic advice never covers.
If your electric gate is sticking, sagging, or silent, call Latch and Post Gate Repair Fresno at (559) 785-2501. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts. We’ll protect your floors with drop cloths and shoe covers if we need to step inside. And we’ll leave you a photo of the cleanup before we drive away.
