Gate installation in San Diego. Built square, hung true, stays that way.

Almost always yes. Sagging gates are usually a hinge-post that moved, a frame that racked, or hinges that loosened. We reset the post if needed, install an anti-sag cable kit to pull the gate back square, and adjust or replace hardware. Most gate repairs take under 90 minutes and cost $180–$450.

Opener-only installs (gate already built): $1,200–$2,400 depending on single vs double swing and brand. New gate plus automation: $3,500–$7,500 for a standard 12-ft double-swing wood or metal gate with a reliable opener, keypad, and safety beams.

Not necessarily. Solar-powered kits work well for moderate-duty-cycle driveways (10–30 cycles per day). Higher-use properties or complex installs benefit from a dedicated circuit run to the gate. We assess duty cycle and power options in the quote.

California code requires pool gates to be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch release at least 60 inches above grade or inside the pool area. Gates must open outward (away from the pool). Fence height at the gate must match the barrier height. We install to exact code spec every time.
