If your gate won’t open, sags on its hinges, or stopped responding to the keypad after the last storm, we can get it working again. Gate repair in Davie usually runs between $185 and $900 depending on what failed, and most jobs are diagnosed in a single visit. Miami Gate Company handles the full range of gate problems across Davie’s ranchettes, horse properties, and gated subdivisions, from rusted iron hinges to waterlogged operator wiring. Call us at (833) 570-5807 and we’ll walk you through what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it.
Why Miami Gate Company Is Davie’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Davie properties are different from what you’d find ten minutes east. Horse farms along Orange Drive, older ranch homes on oversized lots, and newer gated communities all have gates built for different jobs. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what fails and why. Ruben Castellano and our technicians see the same pattern on Davie horse properties: gate panels that were never designed for how often they cycle, and operator systems that were never fully sealed against South Florida moisture. When a Davie customer calls us about a gate that won’t open after a storm, we don’t run through a generic checklist. We check the low-voltage wiring first because we know the soil and drainage conditions here.
We’re a Gate Repair specialist, not a fencing contractor that occasionally touches gates. That matters when the problem is in the control board, the safety sensors, or buried wire. Most handymen will swap a hinge and call it done. We diagnose the whole system because we know the next storm will find whatever weak point was left behind.
Styles & brands we work with





Wrought Iron Gate Repair in Davie
Wrought iron gate repair in Davie usually means dealing with rust, failed welds, and hinges that have started to pull away from the post. South Florida’s humidity and salt-laden air eat at iron gates faster than almost anywhere else, and Davie’s horse properties add another layer: gates get rubbed by livestock, bumped by trailers, and racked by wind. We repair cracked scrollwork, replace rusted hinge barrels, re-weld broken pickets, and correct the sag that happens when a heavy iron gate settles. You’ll generally pay between $240 and $750 for iron gate repair in Davie, with full panel replacements running more when the rust has gone too far to weld.
Sag Correction and Post Repair
Iron gates sag. It’s the most common failure on Davie’s ranch properties, where gate posts sit in ground that cycles between saturated and bone dry. When the post tilts even a few degrees, the hinge side binds and the latch side drags. We dig out the old footing, reset the post in concrete, and add diagonal bracing or an anti-sag kit where the gate design allows it. For gates that have already twisted, we use heat and mechanical straightening to bring the panel back to square.
Rust Removal and Structural Welding
Rust that’s only on the surface can be ground off, treated, primed, and painted. Rust that’s eaten through a bottom rail or a hinge mount needs metal replaced. We cut out the rotted section and weld in new steel, then treat the seam so moisture doesn’t get back in. Wrought iron repair without addressing the rust means you’re paying for the same job twice.
Metal Gate Repair in Davie
Metal gate repair in Davie covers steel, aluminum, and ornamental gates on driveways, side yards, and farm entrances. On Davie’s ranchettes, most metal gates are steel frames with infill panels, and they fail at the hinge welds, the post connection, or the track on slide gates. Aluminum gates are lighter but the welds crack under repeated wind loading and the operator brackets tear out. Metal gate repair in Davie typically runs $185 to $550 for hinge work and frame repairs, and $400 to $900 when a post has to be pulled and reset. The panel itself is rarely the problem – it’s what the panel hangs on and how it’s driven.
Wind Load and Racking Damage
A solid infill gate acts like a sail in a thunderstorm. During hurricane season, we see gates that have been racked out of square, with stripped rack and pinion gears on slide gates and bent hinge pins on swing gates. We straighten the frame, re-square the gate, and replace the damaged drive hardware. Where the gate design allows it, we recommend adding venting or reinforcing the frame so the same storm doesn’t kill it again.
Slide Gate Track and Roller Repair
Slide gates on Davie’s longer driveways carry serious weight and cycle dozens of times a day on horse farms. The rollers wear flat, the track collects debris, and the gate starts to jerk or bind halfway through a cycle. We replace the rollers, clear and re-level the track, and check the rack and pinion alignment. These are heavy components under load and misalignment will strip a gear fast.
Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We work on virtually any gate system, whatever brand you have. Most Davie horse properties run LiftMaster, FAAC, or BFT operators on their driveway gates, and we service those at the component level: motor, control board, loop detectors, and safety sensors. We also see Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule openers on smaller farm and barn gates, and DoorKing and Elite systems on commercial and HOA entrances. Because we stock components and common parts for these brands locally, we can often diagnose and repair in a single trip to Davie without waiting on a special-order part.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Davie Homes
- Hinge posts sinking or rotting in saturated ground. Davie’s heavy summer storms saturate the soil, and a gate post that wasn’t set deep enough starts to lean in weeks, not years. The gate sags and binds even when the panel itself is fine, and it won’t get better until the post is pulled and reset.
- Operator and wiring failures after downpours. Low-voltage wiring runs from the house to the gate, often in buried conduit on Davie’s long driveways. When water gets into that conduit or into a poorly sealed operator housing, the keypad and loop detector start acting intermittently, then fail completely. We trace the circuit and find the breach.
- Stripped gears and bent tracks from wind load. Solid infill gates on open Davie properties catch more wind than most people realize. A strong thunderstorm can strip the rack on a slide gate or bend the hinge pins on a swing gate, leaving the gate stuck or grinding through its cycle. The fix is realigning or replacing the drive hardware, not forcing the gate shut.
- Gate panels struck by trailers, tractors, or livestock. On Davie’s horse properties, this is a regular call. A gate gets hit, the frame twists, and the hinges or post crack under the load. We repair the frame, reset or replace the post, and rehang the gate square. The operator usually survives, but the mechanical path needs to be checked afterward.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Davie
The first thing to check is whether the gate still moves manually by pulling the release. Most Davie horse farm gates have an operator release that disengages the motor. If the gate moves freely, the mechanical path is likely fine and the problem is electrical: water in the low-voltage wiring, a tripped breaker at the house, or a faulted control board. If the gate won’t move manually either, you’re likely looking at a post that settled in saturated ground or a panel that got racked by wind. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll talk you through a few checks before we dispatch.
If the gate is dragging, the hinges are almost never the root cause. On Davie properties, a sagging gate usually means the hinge post is leaning or settling in soft ground, and putting new hinges on a leaning post gets you a gate that still drags. The repair is resetting the post in a deeper footing and then rehanging the gate to match. On heavy iron gates, an anti-sag kit adds a diagonal tension member that keeps the panel from dropping again.
Your gate operator has a manual release, an access hole or lever on the operator body, designed to disconnect the motor from the drive chain or arm. You pull or turn that release, then push the gate by hand. If you don’t release the operator first, you’re fighting the motor. On Davie’s slide gates, many of them are chain-driven and the release is a lever on the operator housing; on swing gates, it’s usually a pull-down handle. If you can’t find the release or the gate still won’t move after releasing it, call us at (833) 570-5807 and we’ll walk you through it. It’s safer to ask than to force a gate that’s bound.
Usually it’s the wiring or the control board, not the keypad itself. Davie’s heavy summer rain gets into buried low-voltage conduit, and a waterlogged splice or a corroded connection between the keypad and the operator will make the keypad behave like it’s dead. We test the keypad with a known-good power source to isolate whether it’s the keypad, the wire run, or the board. That test takes us about ten minutes, and it saves you buying a keypad when the problem was a corroded splice in the ground.
Wind load is the biggest cause of structural gate damage we see in Davie during hurricane season. A solid infill gate on a long driveway acts like a sail. A single thunderstorm gust can rack a swing gate out of square, bend hinge pins, and strip the rack on a slide gate. If your gate has no venting and it’s bolted to an operator, the motor is also fighting that load whenever the gate cycles. We recommend bracing or venting solid gates where the design allows it, and checking the hinge and track hardware before hurricane season, not after it. Reach us at (833) 570-5807 for a storm-readiness check on your gate.
