If you’re planning a new gate for a Fort Lauderdale property, the job starts with the wind zone, not the hardware. Most of this city sits inside the high-velocity hurricane zone that covers Broward and Miami-Dade, and a gate here has to be anchored, braced and finished for salt air before anyone talks about openers. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience, and we work on the gate you already have. Call (888) 399-8022 for a free estimate on a new gate or an installation that never got finished properly.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homes Are Different
Fort Lauderdale sits between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, and that position does things to metal. Aluminum and steel gates within a few miles of the beach corrode and seize far faster than gates inland, because salt-laden onshore breezes settle on hinges, tracks, operator boxes and control enclosures through the year. On canal-front and barrier-island properties, technicians see hinges and operator boxes pitted and seized within two to three years. Year-round humidity and intense UV finish the job on the finishes and the electronics.
The housing stock splits the problem in two. Older single-family ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s often still carry original chain-link and wrought-iron driveway gates, and many of those gate posts were never anchored to the post-Andrew wind-load standards now enforced in Broward County. Newer gated waterfront estates and canal-front properties come with automatic sliding and swing gates, where the weak point is usually the operator, not the structure. Same city, completely different scope of work, and the estimate has to reflect which one you live behind.

Our Main Fort Lauderdale Services
Two jobs come up more than any other on Fort Lauderdale properties: getting a failing gate back into service and putting a new one in front of a driveway or canal-side entry.
Gate Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Repair work on a Fort Lauderdale gate usually means a seized hinge, a bent track, a latch that no longer lines up, or a post that has lifted out of its footing. Salt corrosion runs through all of it, so the first step is figuring out what actually failed rather than replacing the whole swing. We look at the hardware, the structure and the anchoring together, because a gate that drags usually has two problems, not one. For residential and commercial gates alike, start with gate repair and we’ll put an accurate diagnosis before any parts.
Electric Gate Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Automated gates fail differently here. An operator can be perfectly healthy and still stop working because a control board took on moisture, a photo-eye got knocked out of alignment, or the power run corroded at the box. We troubleshoot the actual fault instead of defaulting to a new motor, and we’re fluent across LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule systems. That matters when the gate is on a commercial entry. For anything tied to the operator, wiring or access control, our electric gate repair covers it.
Gate Installation in Fort Lauderdale
New gate installation in Fort Lauderdale is mostly a question of matching the gate to the wind zone and the salt exposure it will live in. The older ranch properties around ZIP 33304 often need a first proper gate rather than a replacement, and the waterfront properties with automatic sliding and swing entries need an installing company that can handle the operator, the anchor footings and the safety edges as one job. Whether it’s a manual driveway gate or a fully automated entry, we can walk Gate Installation with you from measure to written price.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’ll know it’s time when the existing driveway gate swings out of square, the posts have started to lean or lift, or the gate you inherited was never built to the current wind requirements for the property.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Driveway gate installation typically runs $2,600 to $7,500 depending on gate size, material and whether the posts have to be reset or set new, with the written estimate fixing the final figure.
How we do it
We measure the opening and confirm the swing or slide direction, set or replace the posts to proper footing depth with wind-rated anchorage, then hang the gate, check the latch and clearances, and finish the hardware so it moves cleanly.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
If you’re manually opening a wide gate every time a car pulls in, or an older operator has been rebuilt twice and still fights the gate, automation is the cleaner answer.
What it costs in Fort Lauderdale
Automatic gate installation usually falls between $3,200 and $9,500 for the operator, controls and safety equipment on a typical Fort Lauderdale driveway or side entry, quoted in writing before work begins.
How we do it
We select an operator that matches the gate’s weight and cycle count, mount it to reinforced anchorage, run the wiring and safety edges, then set the limits, test the obstruction response and hand over the controls.
What Gate Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
| Item | Typical range in Fort Lauderdale |
|---|---|
| Manual driveway gate, supply and install | $2,600 – $7,500 |
| Automatic gate operator, supply and install | $3,200 – $9,500 |
| Sliding gate installation | $3,000 – $8,500 |
Can you install a gate that meets the Broward County wind requirements?
Yes. We build to the high-velocity hurricane zone requirements that cover Fort Lauderdale, which means anchorage, bracing and material choices sized for wind load, not just a gate that looks right. The written estimate spells out what the installation includes.
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges on a new automatic gate?
We do. A full automatic gate installation covers the operator, the wiring to the control box, photo-eyes and safety edges, plus limit setting and testing. Power wiring itself is dangerous work, so we confirm the electrical scope with you before scheduling.
Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work on the brand you already have, and on the one you’re about to buy. Our technicians handle LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule systems, residential and commercial. No referrals to another shop when your opener is less common. Turnaround depends on the part and the diagnosis, which is why we troubleshoot first. See our brands for the full picture.

What Fort Lauderdale Customers Say
"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
- Diego Reyes"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
- Jamal Carter"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and nobody called me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
- Hector Rodriguez
