Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Pompano Beach Highlands’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
We’ve been installing and repairing gates in this stretch of Broward County long enough to know what these homes throw at us. Most of Pompano Beach Highlands was built between 1960 and 1985, and the original ornamental iron gates hung on surface-mounted hinges have been fighting salt-laden onshore breezes for four or five decades. That’s not a guess. That’s what we see when we pull into a driveway off Sample Road or NE 14th Street and find the hinge post corroded inside the concrete pillar.
Our Gate Installation team stocks parts for the brands most common around here, and Hal answers the phone himself. Not a voicemail, not a call center. A live person, 24/7. Every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Hal back. We also publish our address and license number for anyone who wants to check who they’re dealing with. In a neighborhood where you still wave at your neighbor at the mailbox, that accountability matters.
Our Gate Installation Services in Pompano Beach Highlands
Driveway Gate Installation
A new driveway gate in Pompano Beach Highlands has to handle wind load, not just look sharp. Solid infill panels catch hurricane gusts like a sail, so we anchor posts into 30-inch-deep footings with rebar cages and set the gate frame to swing or slide without binding when the wind pushes on it. On these 60 to 75 foot lots with concrete driveways, we also account for drainage so the gate track or bottom rollers don’t sit in standing water after a summer downpour.
Swing Gate Installation
Swing gates are the most common setup on Highlands CBS ranch homes, and the most common failure point is the hinge post snapping at the concrete pillar face. We don’t just re-hang a gate on a rotted post. We chip out the old footing, pour new concrete, and set powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel posts that outlast the original hardware. If your gate sags in the hinge post, that’s where we start.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates work well on tighter frontages, but in Pompano Beach Highlands they need properly graded track channels. After heavy rain, low-lying tracks flood with standing water and sand, and bottom rollers seize. We install cantilever or V-track sliding gates with sealed rollers and drainage clearance so the gate still moves the morning after a thunderstorm.
Double Gate Installation
Double driveway gates on wider lots give full access without a single massive panel swinging into the street or the landscaping. Hal’s crew installs them with independent hinges, matched openers, and a center drop rod when needed. On a 1972 CBS ranch off NE 40th Street, we replaced a rusted pair of single swing gates with a new LiftMaster-driven double swing gate. The original hinge posts had sheared at the pillar face from decades of salt air and hurricane gusts, so our crew chipped out the old footings, poured new 30-inch footings with rebar cages, and set powder-coated aluminum posts before re-hanging the gates. We also installed safety photocells and a surge suppressor on the opener to prevent lightning-related board failures.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
Pedestrian gates next to the driveway or along a side yard need the same anchoring standard as your main gate. We install self-closing hinges, locking hardware, and frames sized for your existing fence line. If the property has original perimeter fencing still in place, we match the gate style and finish as closely as the current materials allow.

Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Pompano Beach Highlands Homes
- Hinge posts snapping at the concrete pillar from wind-driven cyclic loading. Decades of daily salt exposure and intermittent hurricane-force gusts corrode the post inside the footing until it shears. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
- Spalled and cracked concrete pillars behind corroded hinge anchors. The salt-speckled moisture travels into the concrete and expands the original anchoring hardware. We routinely repair the pillar itself before setting new posts.
- Sliding gate bottom rollers seizing after summer thunderstorms. Standing water along low track channels carries sand and silt into the roller bearings. Proper track drainage and sealed rollers prevent most of these failures.
- Gate operator circuit boards blowing out from lightning-induced voltage surges. Ungrounded perimeter wiring acts like an antenna during summer electrical storms. We install surge suppression and proper grounding on every new opener.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Pompano Beach Highlands
Because the hinge post takes the full cyclic load of every gate swing, every wind gust, and every storm season. In this neighborhood’s salt-spray belt, moisture and airborne salt wick into the concrete footing and corrode the steel inside until it fails at the pillar face. A new gate on that rotted post will sag within months. That’s why we quote the post replacement up front. Call (877) 610-2993 for a free inspection of your existing gate hardware.
Yes. Broward County requires a building permit for any motorized gate operator installation or replacement. We see a lot of older Highlands homes where a previous owner skipped this step, leaving an unpermitted opener with no safety-reverse sensors. We handle the permit paperwork on your behalf and bring the install up to code before the new operator goes in. Call us and we’ll walk you through the process.
A solid infill gate in this part of Broward County should be engineered to handle sustained tropical storm-force winds of 50-74 mph with gusts higher. We size posts, footings, hinges, and the opener’s torque capacity for the panel’s wind profile, not just its weight. For a quote that accounts for your specific gate size and material, call (877) 610-2993 for a free on-site measure.
Every motorized gate should have a manual release. Look for a T-handle or keyed release on the operator box or the motor housing. Pull it and the gate should swing or slide freely by hand. If the gate is stuck, don’t force it - call us and we’ll get out to Pompano Beach Highlands to assess whether the track, hinge, or opener is the problem. A live person answers at (877) 610-2993, day or night.
Because low track channels flood during afternoon downpours and carry sand and silt into the roller bearings. Once the water recedes, the grit stays. We install sliding gates with drainage clearance under the track and sealed rollers designed for this exact failure mode. For a long-term fix instead of repeated service calls, call (877) 610-2993.
