Gate installation in Lauderdale Lakes usually means working around a 1960s or 1970s home on a tight lot, where the original aluminum driveway gate has finally given out or a condo association needs to replace a row of corroding pool gates. Miami Gate Company has served Lauderdale Lakes since 2012, and most of what we do here is measured, planned work rather than emergency patch jobs. We handle the full scope: new automatic gate systems, driveway swing gates, sliding gates for commercial lots along 441, and electric operator retrofits on existing ironwork. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate, and we’ll come out to look at your specific setup.
Why Lauderdale Lakes Homes Are Different
Lauderdale Lakes is fully built out. There’s no new subdivision going in, which means nearly every gate job here is either a repair of something installed decades ago or a replacement that has to fit within an existing footprint. The housing stock along Oakland Park Boulevard and around the 441/SR-7 corridor is dominated by single-story ranch homes from the 1960s and 1970s, plus low-rise condo and townhome communities. Short driveways are the norm, so swing gates with tight clearances outnumber long sliding runs. We regularly see original aluminum frames that have held up reasonably well while the steel posts beneath them corrode at the ground line, especially on the east side of the city where salt air from the Atlantic gets carried inland. Hurricane season adds another layer: driving rain forces water into hinge pockets and operator housings, and a tropical storm can rack a sagging gate far enough out of alignment that the motor starts laboring against its own track. If you’re in a condo association, board members often tell us the same story: gates get flagged during an inspection, and suddenly there’s a stack of bids needed. We’re used to working with property managers in Lauderdale Lakes, and we know the older communities here well enough to anticipate what a 50-year-old post is going to look like once we dig into it.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lauderdale Lakes Services
The two calls we get most often from Lauderdale Lakes property owners are for gate repair and electric gate repair. Here’s what each one involves locally.
Gate Repair in Lauderdale Lakes
A sticking swing gate or a sagging pool gate is rarely one problem: it’s usually a combination of a worn hinge, a post that’s shifted in sandy soil, and a latch that no longer lines up. In Lauderdale Lakes, we also contend with corrosion from year-round humidity and salt air, which eats fasteners long before the visible hardware fails. We straighten, reinforce, and replace at the component level so you don’t pay for a full gate when a hinge rebuild would do it. Gate Repair in Lauderdale Lakes covers manual gates, sagging frames, and hardware replacement.
Electric Gate Repair in Lauderdale Lakes
When an automatic gate stops responding, most people assume the motor is dead. Often it’s the control board, a misaligned safety sensor, or a corroded wire connection at the operator. In Lauderdale Lakes, moisture intrusion into motor housings is a recurring issue we see after heavy rain events. We diagnose the full electrical path, from the keypad and remote receiver to the loop detector and the operator itself. Electric Gate Repair in Lauderdale Lakes goes deeper into component-level troubleshooting and the brands we work on.

Gate Installation in Lauderdale Lakes
A new gate in Lauderdale Lakes has to fit the lot you actually have, not the lot a catalog photo shows. We measure around short driveways, existing columns, and HOA setback rules before recommending anything. We install automatic gate systems, driveway swing gates, sliding gates, and electric operators suited to this climate, and the price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. For a full look at what’s involved, see our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing your driveway gate by hand every day, or you have an older operator that’s been repaired twice and still trips its breaker in humid weather.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Automatic gate installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $4,800 – $9,800 for a complete system with operator, arms, safety sensors, and basic keypad entry, depending on gate size and power access.
How we do it
We survey the driveway, check post condition and power availability, install the gate and operator, wire the safety edges and sensors, then program remotes and keypads and test every cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate has rusted through at the bottom rail, the hinges are pulling out of the post, or you’ve never had a gate and want a physical barrier at the property line.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
A single-swing aluminum driveway gate paired with a basic automatic operator starts around $3,200 and can reach $12,000 for a larger custom steel gate with full automation and intercom.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening and setback, fabricate or order the gate to size, set and anchor the posts, hang the gate, and install the operator and safety equipment if you’re going automatic.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your commercial lot or side yard doesn’t have room for a swing gate arc, or your existing sliding gate has jumped its track more than once and is carving a groove into the concrete.
What it costs in Lauderdale Lakes
Sliding gate installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically starts at $5,200 for a basic manual steel slider and runs to $15,000 or more for an automated commercial system with loop detectors and a high-cycle operator.
How we do it
We lay out the track path, pour or repair the concrete base, set the track and guide rollers, hang the gate, and wire the operator with safety loops and edge sensors before testing full-open and full-close cycles.

| Commercial sliding gate with automation | $5,200 – $15,000+ |
Do you handle the power run and safety sensors with a new gate install?
Yes. We run the electrical feed to the operator, install photo eyes and safety edges as required, and make sure the gate meets current UL 325 safety standards. The price is quoted before any work begins, so there are no surprise line items after we start.
How long does a new gate installation take in Lauderdale Lakes?
Most residential driveway gate installations are completed in one to three days once the gate is fabricated or delivered. Custom steel gates can add a week or two for fabrication. We’ll give you a written schedule when we quote the job. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll come measure.

What Lauderdale Lakes Customers Say
"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
— Arjun Sharma"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
— Chris Norris"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
— Alma Vargas
