Gate installation in Fontana means working with a very specific set of local conditions: Santa Ana winds that funnel down the Cajon Pass, summer heat that warps steel, and housing stock that spans everything from 1960s tract homes to brand-new master-planned communities. We’re Lexington Gate Repair, and we’ve served Fontana since 2011 as a dedicated gate specialist, not a general fencing company. Whether you need a new automatic gate for a north Fontana driveway or a replacement for an aging swing gate near downtown, we diagnose and install it correctly the first time. Call (866) 304-1321 for a free estimate.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana sits at the foot of the Cajon Pass, and that geography shapes gate work here in ways you won’t see in Rialto or Ontario. The Santa Ana winds come down the pass with enough force to rack metal gate frames out of square, strip hinges, and slam latches until they fail. In the older southwest neighborhoods like the ones in 92335, we regularly find swing gates on original posts that have been knocked out of plumb by decades of wind loading and soil settling. The fix there is often a post re-set, not just a hinge adjustment.
The newer developments in north Fontana and 92336 bring a different set of problems. Those homes typically have automatic sliding gates, and the dry summer heat combined with windborne grit accelerates wear on rollers, tracks, and operator mechanisms. Block-wall perimeter fencing anchors steel gate frames directly into masonry, which means repair methods have to account for how the gate meets the wall. Add in Fontana’s mix of HOA-governed communities with design standards, and you need a gate company that understands both the mechanical work and the local expectations.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Fontana Services
Most Fontana homeowners and property managers call us for one of two reasons: a gate that won’t open or close properly, or an electric opener that has stopped responding. Here’s what each involves in Fontana specifically.
Gate Repair in Fontana
Fontana’s wind and heat create a steady stream of hinge, latch, alignment, and post problems, especially on the mid-century steel swing gates in the older neighborhoods. We re-set posts, re-square frames, replace worn hardware, and get manual gates swinging clean again. If your gate drags on the ground or won’t latch after a wind event, this is the service you need. Gate Repair in Fontana covers the full scope of what we do.
Electric Gate Repair in Fontana
Automatic gates in Fontana face a double burden: wind stress on the mechanical side and dust contamination on the electrical side. We work on the control boards, sensors, safety edges, and motors across all the major brands, from residential Mighty Mule setups to commercial DoorKing systems. When your opener hums but won’t move, or the gate reverses mid-cycle, brand-specific diagnosis matters. Electric Gate Repair in Fontana is where we walk through the details.

Gate Installation in Fontana
Gate installation in Fontana has to account for the wind from day one. A gate that’s spec’d for a sheltered neighborhood will rack and bind within a season at the foot of the Cajon Pass, so we size frames, hinges, and posts for the actual conditions each property faces. That’s true whether we’re putting in a simple manual gate on an older southwest Fontana lot or a full automatic sliding gate on a new build in 92336. When a repair turns into a replacement, our Gate Installation team handles the entire job under one roof.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A manual gate you’re tired of opening, or an old opener that fails repeatedly is the typical trigger for switching to a full automatic system in Fontana.
What it costs in Fontana
Automatic gate installation in Fontana typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, with the opener, gate, posts, and control wiring all in scope.
How we do it
We set the posts and gate frame first, then mount the operator, run the control wiring, install safety edges and photo eyes, and program the remotes and keypad.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A sagging or undersized driveway gate that no longer opens fully, or a new driveway where you want security from the start, calls for a properly sized installation in Fontana.
What it costs in Fontana
Driveway gate installation here ranges from $2,500 to $7,000 depending on width, material, and whether you’re adding automation.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening, confirm the swing or slide path, set posts in concrete, hang and square the gate, and adjust the hardware so it moves cleanly through the full arc.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A driveway with limited swing clearance, or a property where wind loading on a wide swing gate keeps causing failures, is the standard reason Fontana homeowners choose a sliding gate.
What it costs in Fontana
Sliding gate installation in Fontana typically falls between $3,000 and $8,000, with cantilever systems at the higher end of that range.
How we do it
We set the track or cantilever rollers, build the gate to the measured opening, install the drive system if automated, and tune the end stops and safety limits.

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days, depending on whether we’re setting new posts or reusing existing concrete. Post-setting adds curing time. Call (866) 304-1321 and we’ll give you a realistic schedule for your specific property.

What Fontana Customers Say
"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Veronica Martinez"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
— Nathan Novak"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."
— Norma Rodriguez
