Gate repair in Pomona usually runs between $145 and $650 depending on what failed, and most jobs are done in a single visit. That’s the honest range: a hinge swap or latch adjustment on the low end, a footing re-set or new operator on the high end. We’re Lexington Gate Repair, and we work Pomona’s older neighborhoods every week, from Lincoln Park to the tracts along Garey Avenue. Call (866) 304-1321 for a free estimate before any work starts.
Why Lexington Gate Repair Is Pomona’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We’re a Gate Repair specialist, not a fencing company that happens to touch gates on slow days. That focus matters in Pomona, where a lot of what we see is legacy iron and aging automatic operators that need someone who recognizes the hardware on sight. Nelson Arquette runs our crew, and the call you make goes to people who work on gates every day, not a dispatcher reading a script.
Pomona’s housing stock covers a lot of ground: early-1900s Craftsman homes near downtown, 1950s and 60s stucco tracts in the north and east, apartment clusters, and light-industrial lots. That mix means we’re as comfortable repairing a wrought-iron pedestrian gate on a Queen Anne in 91766 as we are rebuilding a commercial slide gate operator behind a warehouse off Mission Boulevard. Our team has worked each of these property types enough to know what fails first and what’s still worth fixing.
When you call us about Gate Repair in Pomona, you’re talking to the people who’ll be on site. We don’t subcontract. We don’t hand your job to a generalist. You get a gate technician who can diagnose your specific opener brand and your specific gate hardware the first time.
Styles & brands we work with
Wood Gate Repair in Pomona
Wood Gate Repair in Pomona is common on the older Craftsman and mid-century homes where original wood driveway and pedestrian gates are still standing. The work typically involves replacing rotted stiles and rails, re-hanging the gate on new hinges, and sometimes reinforcing the frame so it doesn’t sag again next summer.
What Goes Wrong With Wood Gates Here
Pomona’s inland heat dries wood fast. Dry summers and Santa Ana winds pull moisture out of gate frames, which leads to cracking, warping, and joints that open up. A wood gate that scraped the driveway last August may not have sagged at all – the frame itself may have twisted. We check for that before we start cutting.
Repair vs. Replace on Wood Gates
If the frame is sound, we can usually replace individual boards and re-hang the gate same visit. That runs $180 to $420 in Pomona depending on size and hardware. If the structural frame is rotten through, a new wood gate makes more sense than patching, and we’ll tell you that plainly with a written quote before you commit to anything.
Driveway Gate Repair in Pomona
Driveway Gate Repair in Pomona covers everything from a sagging swing gate on a 1960s tract home to a sliding gate on a commercial lot in 91769. The most common calls we get are gates that drag on the concrete, gates that won’t stay latched, and automatic gates that stopped responding to remotes or keypads.
Swing Gates and Footing Problems
In Pomona’s older core around 91766 and 91767, a loose driveway gate is often a footing problem. Original wrought-iron gates sit on concrete footings poured decades ago, and the clay soil under Pomona moves with moisture cycles. Footings heave, crack, and tip, and the hinge post goes with them. Tightening hinges on a tipped post just buys you a few weeks. We re-level the post, re-set the footing as needed, and then address the hinges and latch.
Automatic Driveway Gate Operators
For electric driveway gates, we service the operator brands most common in Pomona: LiftMaster, Ghost Controls, Mighty Mule, and DoorKing service in Pomona on the commercial side. If your gate swings or slides a few inches then reverses, or the motor hums but nothing moves, it’s usually a limit switch, a worn gear, or a dying capacitor – all repairable. The work runs $225 to $600 in Pomona depending on the operator and what failed. We quote the exact price before we turn a wrench.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We work on your brand. That means LiftMaster residential openers, DoorKing commercial systems, Elite slide gate operators, Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls for lighter driveway gates, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. Because we only do gates, our techs know the error codes, the common failure points, and the parts sources for each of these lines. For Pomona customers, that means fewer return visits and a diagnosis you can trust.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Heaved or cracked concrete footings. Clay-soil movement under original wrought-iron gates makes panels sag even when the hinges are fine. Re-leveling the post and footing is a standard repair in 91766 and 91767.
- Santa Ana wind and dry-season dust. Wind cycling works latches and hinge screws loose. Dust gums up slide gate tracks and operator internals. We see it every fall.
- Obsolete control boards. Many legacy gate operators in Pomona run boards with no working safety photocell or loop detector. They still open and close, but they don’t meet current UL 325 safety requirements.
- Faded, cracked paint on iron gates. Pomona’s summer sun bakes iron gates faster than coastal cities. We repair the rust and weld cracks that follow paint failure, so the gate keeps working and doesn’t become an eyesore.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Pomona
In Pomona’s older neighborhoods around 91766 and 91767, a sagging gate is usually a footing problem, not a hinge problem. The original concrete footings under decades-old wrought-iron gates have often heaved or cracked from clay-soil movement, which tips the hinge post and drags the gate down. We check the post and footing first, because replacing hinges on a tipped post won’t last. Call (866) 304-1321 and we’ll diagnose it properly.
Yes, in most cases we can add or replace safety photocells, edge sensors, and loop detectors on older operators. The main constraint is the control board: if it has no aux inputs for safety devices, the board must be swapped before retrofitting. We’ll tell you exactly what your operator can take and what it costs before we start.
Yes, a grinding slide gate is usually a worn pinion gear, a misaligned rack, or debris packed into the teeth. We replace the gear or realign the rack and get it quiet again. If the rack itself is stripped, we’ll quote a replacement run. If you need it looked at, call us at (866) 304-1321.
We do. Wood gates on Craftsman and older Pomona homes usually need stile and rail replacement, re-hanging, and sometimes frame reinforcement. We match the style as closely as existing lumber allows and make the gate swing true again. The work runs $180 to $420 for most repairs.
Pomona’s inland climate hits gates harder. Hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events cycle metal and wood through repeated expansion and contraction, loosening hinges and latches, while dust builds up in tracks and operator internals. Clay soil under old footings adds another layer: posts shift as the ground moves. Coastal gates deal with salt air; Pomona gates deal with heat, wind, dust, and moving soil.
