AfterGate Repair Near You in Houston, TX
Our Gate Repair services in Houston usually run between $150 and $600 depending on what’s failed, and most jobs can be scheduled same-day or next-day. Latch & Post Gate Repair is Houston’s local gate specialist, part of the Cedarwell family, and we’ve been fixing gates across the metro since 2009. If your gate won’t close, sags on its hinges, or the opener stopped responding, call (361) 256-5955 and you’ll get a live person who can tell you honestly what it might take to fix it.
We work throughout Houston and the surrounding communities: The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Spring, Katy, Atascocita, La Porte, and Alvin. Every visit starts with a written price before we touch anything, and ends with a clean driveway or entryway, a photo of the clean-up, and a gate that works the way it should. That’s the standard on every job, no exceptions.
Fast, Local Gate Repair
When a gate stops closing, most Houston families want the same thing: a technician who can get there quickly, tell them what’s wrong in plain English, and fix it without a second visit. That’s exactly how we operate. We keep our service area tight to the Houston metro so trips are short and schedules hold. A live person answers the phone around the clock, and you’ll talk to someone who knows gates, not a call center reading from a script.
Most standard repairs, like a gate latch replacement, Hinge & Post Repair, or a control board swap on a LiftMaster or Ghost Controls opener, are completed in a single visit. We carry common parts for the brands Houston homeowners actually own: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your part isn’t on the truck, we’ll give you a straight answer on when it can be here and what it’ll cost before you commit to anything.
What to Expect When You Call
- A live person answers. No voicemail, no callback queue, any hour of the day or night.
- Straight talk on cost. We give ranges over the phone and a written price on site before any work begins.
- A tidy job from start to finish. Shoe covers and drop cloths any time we step inside, quiet tools if kids are sleeping, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
We built the home service around one idea: every gate comes down to two parts, the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on, and we do it carefully.
Areas We Cover
We’re based in Houston and serve the neighborhoods and suburbs where our customers actually live. If you’re in The Woodlands with a Viking swing gate that’s drifting, in Sugar Land with a Mighty Mule keypad that’s lost its programming, or in Katy where a post shifted after heavy rain, we’ll come to you. Our regular coverage area includes Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Spring, Katy, Atascocita, La Porte, and Alvin.
Different parts of the metro have different gate problems. In older Houston neighborhoods like the Heights and Montrose, we see a lot of original wood gates where the post has rotted at the base or the hinges have pulled out of the grain, which often calls for Weld & Rust Repair. Out in Katy and Sugar Land, the soil shifts with the seasons, and that movement throws gate alignment off over time. In The Woodlands and Spring, dense tree cover means leaf debris and moisture get into track systems and sensor lenses. We know the patterns because we drive these roads every week.
Here’s a quick look at the communities we serve most often and the gate issues we typically see there:
- Houston proper: Heights, Montrose, Bellaire, Memorial, West University, and surrounding neighborhoods. Common calls: sagging wood gates, broken latches, and opener control boards after power surges.
- The Woodlands and Spring: Electric gate systems and keypads, plus debris-clogged track sensors on slide gates.
- Sugar Land and Katy: Post alignment issues from soil movement, plus hinge and wheel replacements on heavy iron gates.
- Atascocita, La Porte, and Alvin: Coastal humidity takes a real toll on gate hardware, so we see corrosion on hinges and latch mechanisms more often here.
We serve all of these areas from our Houston base. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our coverage area, call us. The worst case is a quick phone conversation and a recommendation.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Houston?
Here’s what Houston homeowners can expect to pay for common gate repairs. These are honest local ranges, not national averages pulled from a website:
| Repair Type | Typical Cost in Houston |
|---|---|
| Gate latch replacement | $95 – $285 |
| Hinge replacement or adjustment | $120 – $350 |
| Gate wheel or roller replacement | $110 – $300 |
| Control board replacement | $185 – $525 |
| Keypad or remote programming | $65 – $185 |
| Post reset or stabilization | $225 – $600 |
| Full gate realignment | $130 – $380 |
Those are the prices you’ll see in writing before we start. Most standard gate-latch replacements and Lock Repair in Houston run between $95 and $285. We’ll quote the exact number upfront, and if the job turns out to be smaller than we thought once we’re inside it, the price drops, not the other way around.

Our Step-by-Step Repair Process
Every gate repair we do in Houston follows the same careful sequence. It protects your home, your time, and your budget:
- Phone call and diagnosis. You reach a live person who asks about the gate and the symptoms. We’ll give you a realistic time and cost range over the phone.
- On-site assessment. The technician arrives in uniform, introduces themselves, and looks at the gate. No tools come out before the diagnosis is done.
- Written price. Before any work starts, you get a written price. No pressure, no obligation. If it’s a small adjustment we can handle quickly, we’ll say so and charge accordingly.
- Repair with care. We lay drop cloths on the floor, put on shoe covers, and work quietly when kids are asleep or pets are nervous. We ask before we move or touch anything.
- Clean-up and confirmation. We leave the area tidy, take a photo of the clean-up, and show you that it’s been cleaned. Then we test the gate with you and explain what we did.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair isn’t right, Latch & Post makes it right. No argument, no fine print.
