Latch & Post Gate Repair is a San Bruno gate company focused on one thing: gates that open, close, and hold the way they should. San Bruno’s mix of 1940s-1960s homes on small lots, frequent morning fog, and sloped driveways gives gate work here a particular character. Older hardware, damp air, and hinges that carry more weight than they were built for show up on almost every job. We repair, install, and service electric gate systems across San Bruno, with a written price before any work starts. Call (628) 227-2771 if your gate needs attention.
Why San Bruno Homes Are Different
San Bruno sits on the San Francisco Peninsula, close enough to the coast that morning fog rolls in most days of the year. That marine air settles into every hinge, track, and circuit board. We see rust on gate hinges and motor housings faster here than in Millbrae or Burlingame, simply because the moisture hangs around longer. Controllers and keypads fail more often when they’re not sealed against damp, which is why we specify corrosion-resistant hardware and fog-resistant electronics on San Bruno jobs. A painted hinge that looks fine from the driveway is often rusted through where it meets the post.
The housing stock adds another layer. San Bruno has many 1950s tract homes, particularly in Mills Park and Crestmoor, where gates are original to the house. Those gates were built with non-standard dimensions, so replacement parts rarely line up without custom bracket fabrication. Wood gates swell in the damp air and bind against posts. Driveway slopes add stress to hinges that were already underbuilt. When a gate from 1958 sags, lifting it back into place is not enough: the hinge plates need reinforcing and the post needs to be checked for rot or rust at the base.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main San Bruno Services
Most San Bruno homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that stopped working, a gate that needs to be replaced, or an electric opener that quit. Each service has its own detailed San Bruno page.
Gate Repair in San Bruno
A sagging gate in San Bruno usually means worn hinges, a shifted post, or wood that has swollen from the damp. We remove the gate, true the post, install new hardware that fits the original dimensions, and rehang it square. On sloped driveways in Crestmoor, we often add a reinforcing plate where the hinge meets the post because that is where years of damp air do the most damage. You’ll see the exact repair price in writing before we touch anything. Gate Repair in San Bruno covers the full scope, including latch replacement and track realignment.
Gate Installation in San Bruno
New gate installations in San Bruno often start with an older opening that was never square. We measure the actual opening, set new posts in concrete sized for the soil conditions, and hang a gate built for the driveway’s pitch. Because many San Bruno lots are compact, we plan the swing path so a gate never clips a car door or blocks a walkway. Every installation includes a written price before work starts and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on the finished job. Gate Installation in San Bruno walks through materials, timing, and what to expect.
Electric Gate Repair in San Bruno
Electric gate openers in San Bruno fail most often from moisture getting into the control board or the keypad wiring. We diagnose the opener, motor, sensors, and keypad in one visit, then replace only what is broken. Factory training on FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking means we bring the right diagnostic equipment and parts the first time. If your gate beeps but does not move, or moves a few inches and stops, the problem is usually in the limit switch or the safety sensor, both of which we stock. Electric Gate Repair in San Bruno explains the diagnosis and fix in plain terms.
