If you live in Larchmont Manor, along Monroe Avenue, or anywhere in the 10538 zip code, you already know the specific problem with gates here: ironwork that was forged when Woodrow Wilson was president does not respond well to decades of Long Island Sound salt air. We know it too. Hal Gatewood has spent 24 years fixing exactly these gates, and he’ll show up himself, or send a crew that knows the difference between a hinge failure and a post failure on a 1920s ornamental swing gate.

Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Larchmont’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Gatewood Fence & Gate has been locally owned and owner-operated since 2001, and our Gate Repair team handles Larchmont jobs the way this village expects them handled: with welding, with period-matching iron, and without hauling your gate away on a flatbed to see if it can be fixed later. Hal’s name is on the shop and on every invoice, and his phone number is published. That’s not marketing. It’s the oldest accountability there is.

Larchmont homeowners regularly call us after a larger company sent out a tech who quoted one thing and then handed over a different number at the door. We don’t operate that way. Our pricing is quoted and agreed before work starts. Every single job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right, one call brings Hal back, no runaround.

We’ve welded on Larchmont Manor estates, restored cast-iron gates on Shore Road properties, and realigned rack and pinion slide gates for waterfront homes facing the Sound. The salt air here is unforgiving, and the housing stock predates modern safety standards. That combination means whoever fixes your gate needs to understand both historic ironwork and current operator requirements. We do.

Serving Larchmont means knowing that a gate on a stone pillar from 1910 doesn’t get unbolted and swapped for an aluminum panel. It gets a welded repair, a reset post, and a conversation about whether your operator can be retrofitted or whether it’s finally cheaper to replace. Not every company is willing to have that second conversation. We are.

Our Gate Repair Services in Larchmont

Hinge & Post Repair

A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start. On Larchmont Manor properties and along the waterfront, we see the same pattern again and again: salt-laden air eats through iron hinge posts at the footing, the post slowly gives way, and the entire gate drops until the lock no longer meets the latch. We excavate, reset the post in a new concrete footing, weld a new strap hinge onto solid steel, and realign the gate without altering its silhouette. Hinge and post repair in Larchmont typically runs $340 to $680 depending on whether one post or two need resetting.

Weld & Rust Repair

This is the service that separates a repair shop from a replacement company. We weld on site. Your gate stays in your driveway, and rusted sections of ornamental iron get cut out, ground back to clean steel, and rebuilt with period-matching components so the repair doesn’t look like a patch job from 2026 on a gate from 1924. For Larchmont’s historic ironwork, this is the only approach that makes sense. Weld and rust repair on a typical ornamental Larchmont gate runs $220 to $520 depending on the extent of the corrosion.

Electric Gate Repair

Larchmont has a lot of legacy operators, LiftMaster and FAAC units installed in the 1990s, still running original control boards. Some of those boards lack UL 325 entrapment sensors, which explains the random reversals and dead zones you’ve probably noticed. In many cases we can retrofit a new safety photocell, a keypad, and upgraded sensors while leaving the original control board in place if that’s what you want. A failing board often means it’s time to consider a new Larchmont Gate Motor & Opener. Electric gate repair in Larchmont typically runs $265 to $480. When the board itself has failed, we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better dollar decision.

Gate Realignment

Coastal storm cycles here don’t just push water up the shoreline. They shift original stone pillars on waterfront streets, and that shift misaligns rack and pinion slide gates and snaps shear pins on Viking and BFT operators. We bring the gate back to true, reshim the hardware, and check the operator so it isn’t fighting a misaligned track every time it opens. Realignment in Larchmont typically runs $180 to $340, less if we catch it before the operator starts eating shear pins.

Trusted Brands We Service in Larchmont

We service and stock parts for our Gate Parts & Welding in Larchmont for the operators Larchmont homes actually use. That includes FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, LiftMaster, and DoorKing. If your estate gate runs on an older FAAC hydraulic operator or a Viking slide motor that’s been through ten winters of nor’easters, we know the failure points and we keep common parts on the truck so the job doesn’t drag into a second day. We are certified to service nine major gate brands, but more useful than the certification is that we’ve seen these specific units fail on Larchmont driveways enough times to know what usually breaks first.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Larchmont Homes

• Rusted hinge post footings. Salt air off the Sound attacks iron at ground level faster than anywhere else on the assembly. A paint-only fix will buy five to seven years at best before the gate sags or drops again. You fix the footing, not the paint.
• Original stone pillars shifting after coastal storms. Waterfront properties along the Sound take the brunt. Pillars settle, slide gates misalign, and shear pins snap. The fix is realignment plus resetting the pillar base, not just replacing the pin.
• Legacy operators without modern entrapment protection. A 1990s LiftMaster or FAAC board often lacks the entrapment sensors current code requires. If your gate reverses randomly, won’t close, or stops mid-cycle, the operator is likely older than the safety standard itself.
• Period iron gates that no longer latch. On Larchmont Manor’s original 80-to-100-year-old gates, lock and latch failure usually traces back to hinge or post wear, not the hardware itself. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice.
