Latch & Post Gate Repair is a Jacksonville gate company focused on one thing: gates that latch when they should, stay put when the wind hits, and open when you need them to. Jacksonville’s mix of salt air, afternoon thunderstorms, and sprawling lot sizes means gate work here rarely looks like a generic fix. We repair, install, and automate gates across the city, and we quote every job in writing before we start. Call (904) 250-0188 any time – a live person answers, not a phone tree.
Why Jacksonville Homes Are Different
Jacksonville’s neighborhoods run from 1920s brick ranches in Riverside and San Marco to open lots in Mandarin, Oakleaf, and the newer planned communities pushing east toward Nocatee and eTown. That span matters for gates. An older Arlington home might have a 1970s aluminum gate with a solenoid lock that seizes after a heavy rain, while a house in eTown typically has a much newer steel or aluminum slide gate running on a board that’s already logged three power surges from summer lightning. Neither job looks like the other.
Humidity and salt air from the Atlantic and the St. Johns River work on metal year-round. Hinges rust faster in San Marco than they do ten miles inland, and gate opener circuit boards take a beating from the same storms that knock out cable boxes. Any honest Jacksonville gate company plans around that: we check the hinges and the board, not just the obvious symptom. Long driveways also change the work. Sliding and cantilever gates show up more often on Mandarin and Oakleaf lots than they do on tighter Riverside streets, which means more rail, more rollers, and more weight to level correctly.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Jacksonville Services
Jacksonville homeowners call us most often for two situations: a gate that won’t close or latch, and a gate they need built or automated from scratch. Each service has its own page with the full local detail.
Gate Repair in Jacksonville
A gate that won’t latch in Jacksonville usually comes down to rust, moisture, or a failed lock – sometimes all three. We see sagging gate frames in San Marco, corroded hinges in Riverside, and failed solenoid locks in older Arlington and Southside homes after heavy rain. We level the gate, replace worn hardware, and test the whole swing before we call it done. Read the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Jacksonville page.
Gate Installation in Jacksonville
New gates in Jacksonville need to handle humidity, salt air, and those long driveways that run through Mandarin and Oakleaf. We help you pick between ornamental steel, aluminum, wood, or a sliding design, then order and install it with the latch and post set right the first time. The written quote covers everything before work starts. See what a Jacksonville installation looks like on our Gate Installation in Jacksonville page.
Electric Gate Repair in Jacksonville
Electric gates fail in Jacksonville for predictable reasons: power surges from thunderstorms, moisture in the control board, and photocells knocked out of alignment by wind. Our technicians are factory-trained on the openers Jacksonville homes actually have – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and others. We diagnose the board, the arms, and the safety edges together rather than replacing parts blind. Get the full local picture on our Electric Gate Repair in Jacksonville page.

What Jacksonville Customers Say
"Nice work on the intercom and gate. The scheduling callback was a little slow at first, took a couple days. But the tech was tidy, gentle, and thorough once he arrived."
- Sylvia Hahn"Gate motor died and they replaced it carefully, cleaning every bit of debris off the driveway. Mindful not to leave the yard open with our dog out. Great crew."
- Benson Ide"New hinges welded on a heavy gate. They laid down protection so no sparks hit the driveway and cleaned every bit after. Respectful of the property and the result is solid."
- Derek Pulanco
