Gate installation in Ontario usually means replacing a welded steel or wrought-iron driveway gate that has been flexed by Santa Ana wind for 20 or 30 years, or adding an automatic opener to a sliding gate at a newer home off Euclid or Haven. We handle the full arc: removal of the old post and leaf, setting new anchors in Ontario’s clay-heavy soil, hanging the gate square, and wiring the operator. Most of the jobs we quote here are complete replacements, not repairs, because the original gate was built around a post that has rusted through at the base. Call (866) 304-1321 for a free measure and written price.
Why Ontario Homes Are Different
Ontario sits in the Santa Ana wind corridor, where gusts funnel through the Cajon Pass and across the Pomona Valley and put sustained lateral loads on every gate leaf, hinge, and anchor. We see the result after every wind advisory: sliding driveway gates racked off their tracks, swing gates that no longer meet the latch, and welds cracked along the top rail of wrought-iron gates. Wind cycling is the dominant failure mode in Ontario, ahead of motor burnout and sensor misalignment.
The housing stock adds another layer. Older ranch tracts in 91761, 91762, and 91764 were mostly built from the 1950s through the 1970s, and a lot of those homes still have their original chain-link or wrought-iron perimeter gates hanging on wood posts set in expansive soil. Ontario’s clay swells in winter rain and shrinks in summer heat, which slowly works posts loose and lets gates sag until they drag. Newer subdivisions near the 91758 side skew toward sliding driveway gates and automatic openers, where the failures are more about limit switches, photo eyes, and control boards than rusted hinges. A gate installer, or repair tech, who treats every Ontario gate the same will misread the problem on half of them.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Ontario Services
Most Ontario calls to Lexington Gate Repair start as one of two problems: a gate that will not move or latch, or an opener that runs but does not move the gate. Both are covered by the two services below.
Gate Repair in Ontario
Gate repair in Ontario usually starts with a hinge, post, or track problem that has been building for months. A wrought-iron gate that scrapes the driveway in summer may be a swollen post from winter rain; a sliding gate that stops halfway may have jumped its track during the last wind event. We repair the steel, reset the post, or realign the track first, then address any damage to the operator. See Gate Repair in Ontario for the full scope and typical pricing.
Electric Gate Repair in Ontario
Electric gate repair in Ontario means diagnosing a system that will not open, opens but will not close, or trips a breaker every time it cycles. The heat and dust here shorten capacitor life and coat limit switches, while wind-driven debris trips photo eyes more often than people expect. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems daily, and we read the error codes instead of guessing. See Electric Gate Repair in Ontario for how we diagnose and what it costs.

Gate Installation in Ontario
Gate installation in Ontario is usually a replacement job disguised as a repair call. The homeowner calls because the gate drags or will not latch, and we find the post rusted through three inches below grade, or the hinges stretched past adjustment. At that point the honest answer is a new steel post, new hinges, and often a new leaf, not another weld stacked on a weld. For Ontario’s older ranch homes in 91761 and 91762, many of these installations include replacing the original wood post with steel and switching from a chain-link swing gate to a welded steel frame. We also install automatic openers on new sliding gates in the newer subdivisions, where the gate itself is sound but the homeowner wants keypad or phone access instead of getting out of the car. From the first measure to the final limit-switch adjustment, every installation is quoted and agreed before work starts. This is the work we do every day, and the specs for each Gate Installation are laid out below.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You are opening the gate by hand at least once a day and want keypad, remote, or intercom entry.
What it costs in Ontario
Automatic gate installation in Ontario typically runs from $2,500 to $7,000 depending on the operator type and power run.
How we do it
We set the operator post, mount the arm or slide motor, run conduit and wiring, install the control board and safety edges, and program the remotes and keypad.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is sagging, rusted through, or so wind-racked that it no longer looks or functions like a barrier.
What it costs in Ontario
Driveway gate installation in Ontario typically ranges from $3,500 to $9,000 for a welded steel swing or sliding gate.
How we do it
We remove the old gate and posts, dig and set new steel posts in concrete, hang and square the new leaf or panels, and adjust the latch and stops.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a wide driveway or tight setback and want a gate that slides parallel to the fence instead of swinging into the yard.
What it costs in Ontario
Sliding gate installation in Ontario usually falls between $4,000 and $12,000 including track, trucks, and motor.
How we do it
We pour the track base, set the V-track and guide posts, build and hang the sliding leaf, install the motor and rack, and set the limits.

Does Ontario require a permit for a new driveway gate?
Ontario requires a permit when a new gate includes a concrete footer or a post taller than the city’s height limit, and some HOAs in newer subdivisions have their own design review. We handle the paperwork. Call for the current Ontario requirements on your street.
How long does gate installation take in Ontario?
Most Ontario gate installations take one to two days, including concrete cure time for the posts before the gate is hung. Wind can add a day in the fall. We schedule around the Santa Ana forecast whenever possible. Call (866) 304-1321 for a timeline on your specific gate.
Brands We Service in Ontario
We carry parts and programming knowledge for the operators Ontario homes and HOAs actually use: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, and Ghost Controls. FAAC and BFT appear most often on commercial and HOA slide gates, while Linear and Viking show up on older residential swing arms. See our brands for the full list and what we stock locally.

What pushes a quote up in Ontario is usually the same thing that caused the failure: a gate that has been wind-cycled for decades and needs new posts, not just new hinges. A gate hung on a rusted post costs more to fix correctly than one where the leaf is sound. Every price we quote is written down and agreed before we start.

What Ontario Customers Say
"Solar panel on our remote gate wasn't keeping the battery up through the winter. He repositioned it, replaced the battery, and explained the math on why the old placement was never going to work."
— Priya Rao"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Ruben Ramirez"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
