If a gate in Hollywood has stopped opening, is dragging on its hinges, or is stalling halfway through its travel, call (888) 399-8022. We answer 24/7, and with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday, a technician can be on the way to most Hollywood addresses the same day. Hollywood gates live in a harder environment than most of Broward: subtropical marine air, salt spray off the Atlantic, and a hurricane season that puts real wind load on every panel. We work on the brand you already have, and we diagnose the actual failure before anyone quotes a repair.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call Gate Repair Pompano Beach for Gate Repair
We’re a dedicated gate repair specialist, not a general handyman outfit that adds gates to a longer list. Every technician, every tool and every part on the call is focused on gates, which matters when your system is a FAAC swing operator or a BFT slide unit rather than a brand any installer would recognize. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience, and they troubleshoot the problem in front of them instead of defaulting to a replacement quote.
Hollywood callers get a real local read on the job. We know the difference between the acreage properties out west and the tight beachside lots east of the Intracoastal, and we quote accordingly. The written estimate is free, the price is agreed before any work starts, and the service is insured and bonded. If you’re in Hollywood and your gate is down, that’s the standard you should expect from whoever shows up.
One call covers the motor, the control board, the hinges, the post and the panel itself. When a less-common system is involved, we don’t hand you off to another shop.

Gate Welding in Hollywood
Gate Welding in Hollywood usually means structural repair on a panel that’s still hanging but no longer sound – a split bottom rail, a cracked hinge leaf, a post bracket that’s pulled away from its concrete footing. We weld and reinforce the frame rather than talking you into a full replacement when the metal still has life in it. Typical gate welding and structural repair in Hollywood runs $250-$650 for a residential gate, with larger commercial or multi-panel work priced after we see the gate. The free written estimate sets the final number, and it’s agreed before we start.
Welding is only half the job on the coast. After the repair, the weld area needs proper rust treatment or it will start corroding again within a single humid season.
Rust Treatment After the Weld
Salt-laden air gets into every seam and open joint. We treat the repaired area, prime it and finish it so the new weld doesn’t become the next failure point on the gate.
Post and Hinge Reinforcement
When the welding is sound but the gate still sags, the problem is usually the hinge post or its footing. We reinforce or re-set the mounting so the panel hangs true and the hardware stops taking the load.
Commercial Gate Repair in Hollywood
Commercial Gate Repair in Hollywood covers property managers, condo associations and business entrances that can’t afford downtime – vehicle gates, keypad and loop-detector entry, and heavier operators on high-cycle duty. We service DoorKing access control, LiftMaster commercial operators and Linear systems, and we treat access failure as the urgent problem it is. Commercial repair in Hollywood typically runs $350-$1,200 depending on the operator and the control hardware involved. The estimate is free and written, and the price is agreed before work begins.
A gate that runs but won’t reliably reverse is a liability question, not just an inconvenience. We check the safety devices and entrapment protection as part of the same visit.
Access Control and Keypad Faults
Coastal wind-driven rain and salt spray find their way into unsealed enclosures. Keypads stop reading, loop detectors false-trigger, and the operator runs fine while entry codes fail. We trace the fault to the actual component.
High-Cycle Operator Service
Commercial gates cycle far more often than residential ones, so boards, limits and motors wear faster. We diagnose the failing part instead of swapping the whole operator.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We work on the brand you already have. That includes FAAC, BFT, Linear and Viking, along with the other major residential and commercial systems we handle every week. Hollywood properties tend to hold onto their operators through multiple repairs, so brand fluency matters more here than on a new build – a BFT board fault or a Linear limit switch issue should be recognized on sight, not guessed at. We don’t claim parts stock or a warehouse; what we offer is accurate diagnosis and fast turnaround, with the right part sourced for the job rather than the nearest generic substitute.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
The failures split cleanly along geography here, and the pattern has little to do with the gate’s age alone:
- Solar openers quitting by afternoon. On long western-Hollywood driveways where running mains power to the entrance is impractical, a solar gate opener on a wide slide gate often starts stalling mid-travel. It’s usually a tired battery plus a rack and pinion bound up with grit and year-round humidity, not a dead operator. Adding panels doesn’t fix a battery that can no longer hold a charge.
- Swing gates sagging and dragging. East-side single-swing gates sag as the hinge post footing softens in the marine air and the original galvanized hinges seize. A qualified local pro re-sets or reinforces the post, swaps to stainless hardware and re-levels the panel rather than patching the leaf alone.
- Hidden corrosion on original galvanized gates. In the beachside blocks east of the Intracoastal, original galvanized panels and hinge posts rust from the inside out and can still look structurally sound right up until a storm-season load test fails them. Technicians probe the bottom rails and hinge post footings for this before the June-November season, because it rarely shows up a few miles inland in the western tract-home ZIPs.
- Access and safety faults after weather. Keypads and loop detectors fail once wind-driven rain and salt spray reach unsealed enclosures, and some operators still run while the safety photocell no longer reverses the gate. That’s a UL 325 problem, and it needs checking on any automatic gate.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Hollywood, FL
A typical residential gate repair in Hollywood runs $150-$500, and most single-issue fixes land in the lower half of that. Hardware work – hinge replacement, a seized or broken lock, realignment – usually sits at $180-$420. Gate welding and structural repair runs $250-$650, and commercial operator or access-control work is $350-$1,200 depending on the system. What moves the number is the gate type, the brand, whether the fault is mechanical or in the operator’s controls, and how much corrosion or footing work is involved. We give a free written estimate before any work begins, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hollywood
Your battery bank is likely degraded, so the panel can’t recharge it fast enough to overcome humidity-driven drag on the rack and pinion. The operator isn’t dead; the power system behind it has fallen behind the load. A solar setup on a long driveway needs a battery and drive check before anything gets replaced. Call (888) 399-8022 for a free estimate, and we’ll confirm what’s actually failing.
The hinge post footing or the hinges themselves are the usual cause, not the gate leaf. In Hollywood’s marine air the footing softens while the original galvanized hinges seize, so the panel drops and scrapes. The fix is re-setting or reinforcing the post, switching to stainless hardware and re-leveling the gate. Call (888) 399-8022 for a free estimate on the repair.
The gate should reverse when its safety photocell or entrapment protection is triggered while it’s closing. That test should be run on any automatic gate, especially after wind-driven rain and salt spray get into unsealed enclosures and the operator keeps running without the safety device working. We check it on every automatic repair. Call (888) 399-8022 to book a free estimate.
Usually it can be repaired, but only after the bottom rails and hinge post footings are probed for hidden internal corrosion. Galvanized panels east of the Intracoastal rust from the inside out while still looking intact, so the decision rests on the actual metal condition, not appearance. If the frame is sound, we weld, treat and reinforce it. Call (888) 399-8022 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
