AfterGate Repair Services in Burbank, CA
Gate repair in Burbank tends to fall into two camps: a bungalow driveway gate from 1962 that’s started dragging, or a studio-perimeter slide gate cycling hundreds of times a day and eating operator gears for breakfast. Either way, the fix needs to be correct the first time, and it needs to hold. Our crews know Burbank’s streets, its gates, and the particular way this city wears them out. Call (925) 590-4289 any hour and you’ll get a live person who can schedule a technician to come out, diagnose the problem, and quote a price before any work starts.

Gate Motor & Opener
When an opener stops responding or a motor burns out, we service and replace units from LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. The right part, the right wiring, the right torque setting, done once. Learn more about Gate Motor & Opener in Burbank.

Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and telephone entry systems, we install and repair access control on both residential and commercial gates throughout Burbank. We handle the low-voltage wiring and programming so your system talks to the gate properly.

From replacement hinges and rollers to on-site welding for cracked frames, bent steel, and broken pickets, we can rebuild what’s failing rather than selling you a new gate you don’t need. Our welding work is done to hold, not just to look passable.

Why Burbank’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Burbank sits inland in the San Fernando Valley, and that geography creates two specific problems for gates. First, Santa Ana wind events push gusts to 50-70 mph through the city, which exceeds the wind-load tolerance of standard residential swing gates. We regularly replace twisted hinges and re-set posts in Burbank that were ripped loose by a single bad wind season. Second, summer heat regularly pushes past 100°F, and that thermal cycling expands and contracts metal gate frames at a rate you simply don’t see in coastal Los Angeles communities. The result is loosened welds and footings that heave, especially on the 1940s-to-1960s era gates still hanging on so many Burbank homes. Add in the narrow lot widths of that post-war housing stock, and you get retrofit challenges on slide-gate operators that require custom track work. A general contractor is not prepared for that. We are.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Burbank
Most gate repairs in Burbank run between $150 and $700 depending on whether it’s a mechanical issue like hinges or an electrical problem with the operator or control board. Full replacements with automation run higher. Call (925) 590-4289 and we’ll give you an exact quote before work starts.
Our repair scheduling for Burbank is typically same-day or next-day. Call (925) 590-4289 and a live person will confirm the soonest available window. The $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is also a good option if your gate still works but hasn’t been serviced in a year or more.
A complete installation includes removal and disposal of the old gate, new gate fabrication or supply, hinge and footing work, operator installation if automated, safety edges and loops if required, and final testing. We measure, quote, and schedule the work at your pace. No same-day pressure, just a written price before you decide.
Yes. Burbank’s Olive Avenue and Alameda Avenue corridors are home to vehicle-rated slide gates on studio and production facility perimeters that cycle 300-500 times a day. We service that class of hardware regularly and keep commercial-grade parts on our trucks. If your facility’s gate is down, call (925) 590-4289 and we’ll get a technician on it.
It is not safe to continue using a gate with a compromised post or footing, especially with Burbank’s Santa Ana wind seasons. A falling gate or a post that gives way can cause serious injury. Turn off the operator if you have one, keep people and vehicles clear, and call us. We’ll assess the footing and tell you exactly what’s needed.

What Burbank Customers Say
"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
- Veronica Ramirez"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
