If you’re planning a new gate on a Lakewood property, the job starts with the lot, not the catalog. Homes in Lakewood span post-WWII ranches and 1960s – 1980s subdivisions alongside a growing share of infill townhomes, and each type brings its own driveway width, grade and setback. We’re a gate-only company, working on both residential and commercial systems, and we diagnose before we quote. Call (833) 348-9387. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Lakewood Homes Are Different
Lakewood sits at the base of the Front Range, where intense sun, dry air and rapid freeze-thaw swings between fall and spring work on gate hardware all year. South- and west-facing exposures take the worst of it: metal rusts, wood cracks, and hinges and brackets loosen as the ground moves. The soil makes it worse. In older subdivisions like those off Alameda Parkway, original chain-link gates often bind because the clay-heavy ground shifts with the freeze-thaw cycle, so a repair that looks like an adjustment turns into re-setting posts.
Then there’s the housing mix. Lakewood grew from mid-century suburb into densified infill, and the two ends of that transition pull in opposite directions. Older properties still carry aging wrought-iron and wood gates that need repair or replacement. Newer infill builds often call for modern automatic or ornamental gates that satisfy strict HOA aesthetic rules. That combination of repair, code compliance and material failure shows up here in a way it doesn’t in neighboring Denver or Wheat Ridge. It shapes how we scope every job in Lakewood.

Our Main Lakewood Services
Most Lakewood calls we take come down to two things: a gate that’s stopped working, or an automated system that’s behaving unpredictably.
Gate Repair in Lakewood
Manual gate repair in Lakewood is often a ground problem disguised as a hardware problem. When a chain-link or wrought-iron gate drags, catches or won’t latch, the clay-heavy soil under the posts has usually shifted with the freeze-thaw cycle, so we check footing and alignment before we touch a hinge. Older gates on mid-century properties add their own wear: rusted frames, cracked wood, sagging panels. Our Gate Repair in Lakewood work covers hinges, latches, posts, frames and panels, and we tell you plainly whether a repair makes sense or a replacement does.
Electric Gate Repair in Lakewood
Automated gates fail in patterns, and the Front Range climate exposes them fast. Boards, operators, sensors and access controls are all part of the diagnosis, not an afterthought. We work on the brand you actually have, including LiftMaster, FAAC and BFT systems, so we’re not forcing a generic part into a specific machine. If your gate opens partway, reverses, ignores the remote or stops responding to the keypad, our Electric Gate Repair in Lakewood service traces the fault through the whole system, from power and control board to the safety edges, before we quote anything.
Gate Installation in Lakewood
Gate installation in Lakewood starts with the property, not a stock design. Mid-century ranch homes and 1960s – 1980s tract subdivisions usually have established driveways and mature trees, and the gate has to fit what’s already there. New infill townhomes and custom builds often want an automated entrance that meets HOA rules from day one. Add the Front Range climate and the freeze-thaw cycle works on every post, hinge and operator housing, so how a gate is set and anchored matters as much as what it’s made of. Our Gate Installation work covers the full range, from a manual driveway gate to a complete automated system, measured and quoted in writing before anything is ordered.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out to open a heavy gate every time you drive in, or your property needs controlled entry that a manual latch can’t provide.
What it costs in Lakewood
Most automatic gate installations in Lakewood run from roughly $2,500 to $6,500 for the gate and operator together, with access control and the power run priced on top after we see the site.
How we do it
We measure the opening and check grade and footing conditions, agree the operator and access control layout with you in writing, then set posts, hang the gate, mount and program the operator and test every safety device before we hand it over.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The old gate is sagging past adjustment, or the driveway has changed and the existing opening no longer fits the vehicles that use it.
What it costs in Lakewood
A new driveway gate in Lakewood typically falls between $1,800 and $5,500 depending on width, material and whether an operator is included; the written estimate sets the final figure.
How we do it
We confirm the clear opening and swing or slide direction, set posts to proper footing depth in Lakewood’s clay soil, hang and align the gate, then check latch, clearance and hardware through a full open-and-close cycle.
What Gate Installation Costs in Lakewood
These are typical ranges for Lakewood, not quotes. Every property is different, and the written estimate you get after we look at the site is the number that stands.
| Item | Typical range in Lakewood |
|---|---|
| New driveway gate (manual) | $1,800 – $5,500 |
| Automatic gate with operator | $2,500 – $6,500 |
| Access control and safety devices | Priced per job after on-site assessment |
Can you install a gate that meets my Lakewood HOA’s rules?
Yes. We ask for your HOA’s design requirements before we specify anything, then match material, height and finish to them. Lakewood’s newer infill neighborhoods tend to have the strictest aesthetic rules, so getting this agreed early avoids a rebuild later.
How long does a gate installation take in Lakewood?
Most residential installations take one to three days on site once the gate and operator have arrived. Ordering and delivery drive the timeline more than the work itself. Call (833) 348-9387 for a free on-site measure and a written price.
Brands We Service in Lakewood
We work on the brand you have rather than steering you toward whatever’s easiest to stock. That includes LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT and Linear systems, among others, on both residential and commercial gates. We keep common operator and hardware parts on the truck so many repairs turn around on the first visit. See our brands for the full picture.

AfterPricing for Gate Company in Lakewood, CO
Ranges below are typical for Lakewood work. They’re a starting point, not a promise: the written estimate sets the final price, and we agree it with you before any work starts.
| Service | Typical range in Lakewood |
|---|---|
| Gate repair (hinges, latches, alignment) | $150 – $450 |
| Post re-setting and footing repair | $250 – $800 |
| Electric gate repair (operator or control board) | $200 – $650 |

Two things push price up in Lakewood more than anything else: posts that need re-setting in clay soil, and access control added to an existing automated system. Older gates in mid-century subdivisions also tend to need more than the original complaint once we’re on site, and we’ll show you that before it goes into the estimate rather than after.

What Lakewood Customers Say
"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
- Kevin Sutton"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
- Paul Hayes"Solar panel on our remote gate wasn't keeping the battery up through the winter. He repositioned it, replaced the battery, and explained the math on why the old placement was never going to work."
