Latch & Post Gate Repair is a San Leandro gate company focused on the latch that holds the gate and the post that carries it. Most homes here were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and many still have their original wrought iron driveway and side-yard gates. Those gates now face a specific set of San Leandro conditions: fog and marine air that slowly corrode untreated steel, occasional bay winds that stress hinges and posts, and a 2019 California Building Code the city enforces closely. If a gate in San Leandro won’t close or an opener won’t respond, call (628) 227-2771 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why San Leandro Homes Are Different
San Leandro’s housing stock is largely mid-century, and that shapes almost every gate job we do here. In neighborhoods like Washington Manor, Estudillo Estates, and Assumption Parish, the original driveway gates often feature decorative wrought iron with scrollwork that is no longer manufactured. When a picket rusts through or bends, we hand-fabricate a replacement to match the existing pattern rather than leaving a visible patch. East of I-880, where lots are dense and side yards are narrow, many homeowners have already automated those old manual gates, so we see a steady flow of retrofits: adding sensors, replacing worn hinges, and bringing operators up to the safety standards San Leandro enforces.
The climate works in homeowners’ favor most of the year. San Leandro does not get the heavy rust we see in coastal cities like Alameda, but decades of foggy mornings do settle into untreated hardware, especially bolts and hinge pins. The bigger threat is wind. When a strong gust comes off the bay and hits a wide driveway gate, a loose hinge or a soft post shows itself fast. That is why we check post footing and hinge alignment on every San Leandro repair visit, not just the part you called about.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main San Leandro Services
San Leandro homeowners call us most often for two things: putting a sagging or stuck gate back to work, and replacing an old gate with something that meets today’s safety code. Each service has its own San Leandro page with local pricing, what to expect on the visit, and the answer to the questions we hear most.
Gate Repair in San Leandro
Most San Leandro repair calls start with a gate that drags, won’t latch, or leans hard on its hinges. The cause is usually a combination of age and the soft, clay-heavy soil in parts of the city that lets posts shift over time. We rebuild hinge mounts, square the frame, and replace worn hardware, and we always check the post itself before we quote anything. Full details, including what a hinge rebuild costs here, are on the Gate Repair in San Leandro page.
Gate Installation in San Leandro
New gate work in San Leandro usually means either matching a 1950s-era neighborhood or finally replacing a gate that’s too far gone to patch. Washington Manor homes often want new steel with the same scroll language as the original; newer subdivisions lean toward clean, low-maintenance aluminum. Every installation starts with a site visit to measure the opening, check the post footings, and write a firm price. See the Gate Installation in San Leandro page for the full breakdown.
Electric Gate Repair in San Leandro
Electric gates in San Leandro fail in predictable ways: sensors go out of alignment from wind or settling, keypads stop reading, and older operators wear through their gears from daily cycles. Because the city enforces the 2019 California Building Code, we also see a lot of safety retrofits, where an older operator works fine but lacks the required photo eyes or reverse mechanism. That work, along with what a typical operator replacement costs, is covered on the Electric Gate Repair in San Leandro page.

What pushes a San Leandro job toward the top of a range is usually the post. If the post is soft, leaning, or set in poor soil, we have to address it before any gate work makes sense. You will see the exact number in writing before any work starts, and that price does not move unless you approve a change first.
