AfterFast, Reliable Gate Installation Across Pembroke Park
A new gate installation in Pembroke Park typically costs $2,800-$7,500 for a single driveway swing gate, and $4,500-$12,000 for a sliding gate at a mobile home park or commercial entrance, depending on gate material, operator, and how much of the existing track and access wiring we can keep. We’re Gatewood Fence & Gate, and we’ve been installing and repairing gates since 2001. Hal Gatewood answers the phone himself, and he’ll give you a straight price before any work starts. Call (877) 610-2993 for a free estimate.
Pembroke Park isn’t like most towns we work in. The residential fabric here is dominated by mobile home and manufactured housing communities built from the 1960s through the 1980s, and nearly every one of them funnels every resident through a single entrance gate. That gate is the security checkpoint for dozens to hundreds of homes. When it fails, nobody gets in or out without a hassle. We know these gates, we know the park managers along Hallandale Beach Boulevard and the US-1 corridor, and we know how to install new equipment without ripping out working systems your HOA budget can’t afford to replace.
Key takeaways:
- Free estimates, with the price quoted and agreed in writing before any work starts
- We handle HOA and management company approval coordination before we dig
- We integrate new gates with existing loop detectors, keypads, and legacy operators
- 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every installation
- Live person answers 24/7, not a voicemail
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Pembroke Park’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
We’re locally owned and owner-operated, and Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. That matters in Pembroke Park because the park managers and HOA boards here talk to each other. If one of them gets burned by a contractor who tears out a gate and then disappears, the whole town hears about it. We’ve been around since 2001, and we’ve built our reputation in this area by doing the opposite of that: we show up when we say we will, we fix what’s fixable, and we stand behind the work.
Our Gate Installation team serves Pembroke Park regularly, so we don’t need to learn your streets from a GPS. We’ve pulled up to enough 33008 addresses to know the difference between a park entrance on Southwest 31st Avenue and a private driveway off Hallandale Beach Boulevard. Response time to Pembroke Park is same-day for genuine emergencies, and we schedule installations around your park’s access hours, not the other way around.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, stamped in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround.
Our Gate Installation Services in Pembroke Park
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates are the workhorse of Pembroke Park’s mobile home communities and the older light-industrial properties along US-1. They see hundreds of open-close cycles a day, which means the track, rack and pinion, and operator have to be matched to the actual gate weight and the salt-laden air coming off the Atlantic two miles east. We measure the gate leaf, inspect the existing track for corrosion, and size the operator accordingly. If the old track is still sound, we’ll keep it and save you real money.
Swing Gate Installation
Single and double swing gates are common on Pembroke Park driveways and smaller community entrances. The biggest failure point here isn’t the gate panel; it’s the hinge post. Decades of salty air and South Florida rain rot the post at ground level, and then the gate sags. We pour new post footings with proper drainage, set reinforced hinge posts, and then hang the gate. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start.
Security Gate Installation
For mobile home parks and warehouse lots in Pembroke Park, a gate isn’t a convenience; it’s the property’s primary defense. The single entrance gate is what keeps unauthorized vehicles out of a park where dozens of older adults live. We install security gates that integrate with your existing keypad entry system, loop detectors, and exit wands, so residents keep the same codes and the park doesn’t lose access during the switch. We’ve done enough of these to know that the management company’s real worry is resident complaints during installation. We work fast and communicate clearly.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
Pedestrian gates in Pembroke Park range from simple walk-through gates at pool enclosures to controlled access points beside a main vehicle gate. We install these to match the existing fence line, using materials that hold up to the coastal humidity, and we can wire in keypads or card readers when the HOA needs controlled entry.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pembroke Park
We’re certified to service and install nine major gate operator brands, including Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing. In Pembroke Park, that matters more than usual. A lot of the park entrance gates still run Linear operators from the 1970s and 80s, and many of those units are discontinued. We stock legacy parts and we can reprogram or repair those old operators rather than quoting a full replacement. When a replacement is genuinely needed, we’ll tell you straight, and we’ll quote you a Gatewood price before we touch anything.
Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Pembroke Park Homes
- HOA or park management approval stalls the job. A contractor starts digging before the management company has signed off on gate height, color, or finish, and the job stops mid-dig, leaving an open post footing for weeks. We coordinate approval before we start. Written sign-off first, then work.
- Legacy track and rack and pinion get ignored. The installer sizes the new slide gate for its leaf weight but doesn’t inspect the 60-year-old, salt-corroded track underneath. The gate jams within months, and the management company blames the install. We inspect the full system, not just the gate panel.
- The old exit wand gets orphaned. After a post-storm replacement, a crew drops in a modern operator without a loop detector compatible with the park’s old exit wand system. The gate won’t auto-open for residents. We match the new operator to the existing access system, not the other way around.
- Salt-laden air eats the hinge post from the inside. A gate installed five years ago is already sagging because the post wasn’t set with drainage or coated for Pembroke Park’s coastal exposure. We pour deeper footings and use materials that survive this climate.

HOA and Management Company Approval: The Pembroke Park Reality
If you live in a manufactured housing community in Pembroke Park, the gate at the entrance belongs to the park, and the park’s management company or HOA board has the final say on any change to it. Gate height, color, finish, and even the operator brand can all require written approval. We’ve seen jobs stop dead because a contractor dug first and asked later. The management company wants to know that the new gate matches the community’s documented look, that the access system still works for every resident, and that the price won’t balloon mid-job. We get all of that done before we dig. We’ll coordinate with your management company, bring the specs they need, and get the sign-off in writing. Then the work starts.
One of the biggest mistakes we see is when an installer sizes a new slide gate and operator for the gate leaf weight but ignores the existing infrastructure. At a 1970s mobile home park off Hallandale Beach Boulevard, our crew replaced a twisted aluminum swing gate whose hinge post had rotted at the base from decades of salt-laden air. We poured a new post footing, set a reinforced hinge post, hung a new gate, and wired the existing Linear operator to a fresh safety photocell and loop detector. The park’s management company approved the repair without replacing a working control board, and residents kept their same keypad codes. That’s how installation should go in Pembroke Park: keep what works, fix what doesn’t, and don’t leave the entrance down any longer than necessary.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Pembroke Park
Yes, in nearly every manufactured housing community in Pembroke Park, you’ll need written approval from the park’s management company or HOA board before a new gate goes in. We handle that coordination for you, including the specs on gate height, color, finish, and operator. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll start the paperwork before any digging happens.
In most cases, yes. Many Pembroke Park park entrances still have structurally sound gates from the 1980s and 90s, and the failure is only in the operator or the safety devices. We can install a new operator, wire in current UL 325 entrapment protection, and keep the existing gate panel if it’s still square and the track is solid. That’s almost always cheaper than a full replacement. Call (877) 610-2993 and we’ll assess it.
We keep the existing codes. We transfer the current keypad programming into the new system, so residents don’t have to learn a new code or call the office. If the HOA wants to change codes for security, we’ll do that after the install with the management company present. Either way, the entrance isn’t down longer than it takes to hang the gate and wire the operator.
Yes. Pembroke Park sits two to three miles from the Atlantic, and the salty air visibly accelerates corrosion on steel gate hardware, tracks, and operator housings compared to inland Broward cities. We recommend aluminum gate frames with stainless hardware for most coastal installations here, and we set hinge posts with proper drainage and a protective coating. Choosing the right material costs a bit more upfront but the gate lasts years longer. Call (877) 610-2993 for a straight recommendation on your specific entrance.
UL 325 is the federal safety standard for automatic gate operators, and it requires that every new gate installation include entrapment protection, which is usually a combination of safety photocells, contact edges, and a properly configured reversing mechanism. For a mobile home park with dozens of residents passing through daily, this isn’t optional; it’s a legal requirement and a real safety matter. We install UL 325 compliant systems on every new gate, and we test them before we leave. Call (877) 610-2993 if you need a compliance check on an existing community gate.
