AfterGate Repair in Lantana, FL
Gate access control and parts-and-welding work in Lantana both come back to one thing: the Intracoastal Waterway is less than half a mile from every front door in town. Salt air corrodes hardware faster here than anywhere a few miles inland, and most homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s with gate hardware that was never rated for marine exposure. Call (561) 725-8048 and a live person picks up, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We write the price down before any work starts and photograph everything we touch.
Why Lantana Homes Are Different
Lantana’s residential core is concrete block stucco from the 1950s through 1970s. A lot of those homes still carry their original wrought-iron or tubular-steel gates, and the hardware was sized for a different environment than the one it lives in now. The eastern edge of town is the Intracoastal, and the Atlantic barrier island sits just beyond it. That means near-constant marine salt air, 60-plus inches of annual rainfall, and humidity that stays above 70 percent most of the year. Gate hinges pit, steel frames scale, and operator motors corrode on timelines far shorter than manufacturer specs assume.
The failure pattern we see on streets like East Ocean Avenue and the canal-side blocks feeding the waterway is galvanic corrosion. Aluminum gates marketed as rust-proof still break down at the steel mounting hardware and concrete anchor bolts within three to five years of installation. The aluminum itself is fine. The steel it’s bolted to is not. We also deal with gate posts set in aging concrete slabs that shift with South Florida’s expansive soil, which throws alignment off and puts stress on every moving part.
Palm Beach County’s post-Andrew wind-load code adds another layer: automatic gate operators must be able to fail safe open. That compliance point comes up on nearly every permit pull in the municipality, and it changes which operators we recommend and how we wire them.
Our Main Lantana Services
Lantana homeowners call us most often about two things: a gate that won’t open or close reliably, and a gate that needs new parts or structural welding. Here are the three full Lantana service pages, each covering that job in detail.
Gate Repair in Lantana

Gate Installation in Lantana
New gate installation near the Intracoastal needs corrosion-resistant hardware selection from day one. We measure the opening, spec the post depth for shifting soil, and pull permits when the municipality requires them. Gate Installation in Lantana
Gate Motor & Opener in Lantana
Operator failure in Lantana is often a motor seal that gave out to humidity or a control board corroded by salt air. We service nine major automation brands, so the call is usually a repair, not a replacement pitch. Gate Motor & Opener in Lantana

BeforeAfterGate Access Control in Lantana
Gate access control in Lantana means keypads, remotes, phone-entry systems, card readers, and video intercoms that hold up in salt air and heavy humidity. Most of the call-outs we run here are for keypads with corroded contact points or card readers shorting at the pigtail, a direct result of the Intracoastal’s marine influence on anything mounted outdoors. Our Gate Access Control work covers every brand already on the property, and every visit ends with a written record of what was found and what was set.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
You’re re-entering the code twice because the first press didn’t register, or the keypad looks fogged from moisture inside the housing.
What it costs in Lantana
Keypad replacement or repair in Lantana typically runs $180-$340, depending on whether the wiring harness is intact or corroded through.
How we do it
We test line voltage at the keypad, open the housing to check for salt intrusion, replace or reseal the unit, and photograph the new installation.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
The video feed is foggy, the call button works intermittently, or the intercom crackles louder than the voice coming through.
What it costs in Lantana
Video intercom repair or replacement in Lantana runs $275-$520 on average, with the higher end covering a new outdoor station rated for marine exposure.
How we do it
We trace the two-wire or IP line, isolate the failing component, replace it with a sealed unit, and photograph the before-and-after.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Keypad entry repair or replacement | $180-$340 |
| Video intercom system work | $275-$520 |
| Card reader repair or replacement | $220-$420 |
Will an access control system survive Lantana’s salt air?
Only if the housing is sealed and the connections are protected. Standard outdoor keypads corrode in 2 to 4 years here. We use marine-rated enclosures and dielectric grease on every connection. Call (561) 725-8048 for a written price before any work starts.
Can you integrate with my existing gate operator?
Yes. We service nine automation brands including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, and we wire the access control to whatever motor is already on the property rather than pushing a replacement.
Gate Parts & Welding in Lantana
Gate parts and welding in Lantana is typically hinge replacement, post repair, or a broken weld where the leaf meets the frame. The salt air along the Intracoastal attacks steel long before the gate itself looks worn. Our Gate Parts & Welding work includes sourcing the right replacement part or fabricating a new one, then documenting every step with photos.
Hinge Replacement
Signs you need it
The gate drags or scrapes, the hinge pin has visible rust scale, or the leaf sags an inch lower than the latch side.
What it costs in Lantana
Hinge replacement in Lantana typically runs $85-$260 per hinge, depending on whether the post is solid enough to accept a new weld.
How we do it
We cut the old hinge free, grind the post to clean steel, weld or bolt the new hinge in place, and photograph the load path.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans, the concrete around it is cracked, or the gate swings open on its own because the post has shifted.
What it costs in Lantana
Post replacement in Lantana runs $150-$450 per post, with the higher end covering excavation of a corroded anchor and a new concrete pour.
How we do it
We cut the old post at the base, excavate the footing, set a new galvanized post in fresh concrete, and re-hang the gate level.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Lantana
| Item | Typical range in Lantana |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per hinge) | $85-$260 |
| Post replacement (per post) | $150-$450 |
| On-site welding (per hour) | $95-$190 |
Is welding on-site or do you take the gate to a shop?
Most welding is done on-site at your Lantana property. We bring a mobile welding rig and grind, weld, prime, and paint the repair before we leave. The photo record shows the weld before paint, so you can see the actual work.
Can you repair a gate that’s corroded through, or does it need replacement?
We can weld repair most corrosion damage if the surrounding steel is sound. If the frame has lost more than a third of its wall thickness, replacement is usually cheaper than piecemeal patching. The written estimate shows both options.
Brands We Service in Lantana
We service nine major gate-automation brands including FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, LiftMaster, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Common repair parts for these brands are stocked locally and on our trucks. See our brands for the full list and what we commonly stock.

What Lantana Customers Say
"They installed the opener and left me a diagram of the wiring and the limit settings. When I needed a second remote programmed I could do it myself."
- Nadine C."Gate had been dragging for a year. They photographed the bent hinge post, explained why the operator kept faulting, and gave me a fixed price to correct both."
- Terrence B."Honest about what did not need doing. Told me the operator had years left and only the control board needed replacing."
- Douglas N.
