We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell family gate specialist working throughout Tulare. Most of the gates in this city are wide – sometimes 12 to 16 feet across – and they sit out in direct sun with row crops, orchards, and open field on all sides. That combination of summer heat above 100°F and fine agricultural dust changes how gates fail here. Motors overheat, sensor eyes drift out of alignment, and slide tracks wear unevenly on the valley’s shifting alluvial soil. You can reach us 24/7 at (559) 785-2501, and a live person answers every time.
Why Tulare Homes Are Different
Tulare’s flat, gridded layout means driveways tend to be roomy, and a lot of homes have side or rear alley access with wide gates set in custom welded steel or ornamental iron. Many of these were built between the 1950s and early 2000s, which means the original opener on an older gate may be a LiftMaster or Mighty Mule unit that has outlived its expected service life. In the northwest neighborhoods especially, 1970s sliding gates carry decades of dust in their rollers – we commonly find homeowners propping a gate open with a brick because the opener gave out and the manual slide became too hard to move. That brick is a reliable sign the roller bearings have seized, and it’s one of the first things we check.
The climate does the rest. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 100°F, and heat expansion stresses weld joints, warps thin metal panels, and pushes gate opener capacitors past their limit. Dust from surrounding agriculture works its way into hinges, rollers, and track systems like fine grit in a bearing. A gate that opens smoothly in February can bind by August. That’s why most Tulare repair calls either come in as a dead motor in July or a gate that’s drifted off its sensor beam and won’t close after a windy afternoon. We carry parts for the brands local homes actually use, so we can usually make the fix in one visit.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tulare Services
Tulare homeowners typically call us for two things: a gate that stopped working and needs repair, or a full replacement where the old gate has reached the end of its life. Electric gate work often lands somewhere in between – the gate itself is fine, but the automation has failed.
Gate Repair in Tulare
A sagging gate or a stuck latch is rarely a mystery. Most of the time it’s a roller packed with field dust, a hinge that has shifted on the post, or a slide track that has drifted out of level on Tulare’s alluvial soil. We repair what we can and tell you plainly when replacement is the cheaper option. Every repair starts with a written price before any work begins, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise means the fix holds or we come back. Here’s the full picture on Gate Repair in Tulare.
Gate Installation in Tulare
New gates in Tulare usually mean a wide driveway opening, a custom steel or ornamental iron gate, and sometimes a side gate for alley access. We measure, fabricate to the opening, and set the posts deep enough for the shifting soil. The process is scheduled, not rushed – you get a free measure, a written price, and a firm install date. Installation is under the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as repair. Details are on our Gate Installation in Tulare page.
Electric Gate Repair in Tulare
Heat and dust are hard on electric gate systems here. Capacitors fail, motors overheat, photo eyes fill with fine grit and lose alignment, and control boards bake inside their enclosures. We carry parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems and factory-trained technicians diagnose on site. If your gate stopped responding to the remote or won’t close on its own, start at Electric Gate Repair in Tulare.
