A gate is the first thing that stops someone from getting onto your property — and it takes more abuse than any other opening you own. Sun, salt air, wind, and the sheer weight of the gate itself work on the metal and the hardware every single day until something cracks, sags, or stops locking. Pro Locksmith repairs gates on both sides of the problem: the steel itself, with on-site welding and fabrication, and the security hardware — the locks, latches, hinges, and access control that decide who gets through. Licensed, insured, flat-rate pricing quoted up front, serving Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County.
On-Site Gate Welding & Metal Repair
Most gate problems are metal problems, and most of them can be welded rather than replaced. We bring the equipment to you and repair cracked welds, broken or torn-out hinges, bent and buckled frames, snapped pickets and bars, rusted-through sections, and damaged posts. If a vehicle has backed into your gate, if a hinge has ripped loose from the post, or if the frame has racked out of square so the gate no longer meets the latch, that’s straight welding and alignment work — and it costs a fraction of a new gate. We work on wrought iron, steel, and aluminum gates, cut out corroded sections and fabricate replacements to match, and finish the repair so it blends with the existing gate rather than looking patched.
Sagging & Dragging Gates
When a gate starts to drag on the ground, catch on the latch, or need a lift to close, the cause is nearly always the hinges or the post — the weight of the gate has slowly pulled everything out of alignment. We reinforce or replace the hinges, weld in gussets or bracing where the frame has flexed, straighten or reset the post, and realign the gate so it swings clean and closes into the latch on its own. Getting this right is also what makes the lock work again, because a gate that doesn’t sit square will never latch properly no matter how good the hardware is.
Gate Locks, Latches & Hinges
Gate hardware lives outdoors and takes the full force of the weather, so it fails faster than anything inside your building. We install and repair gate locks, keyed and keyless latches, deadbolts and drop rods, weld-on lock boxes, heavy-duty hinges, and hasps and padlock mounts. Where security matters, we can fit high-security cylinders from Medeco and Mul-T-Lock — we’re an authorized dealer for both — so the gate key can’t be copied without your authorization, and we can key the gate to match the rest of your property so one key opens everything you want it to.
Access Control for Gates
For businesses, gated properties, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings, the question isn’t just whether the gate locks — it’s who can open it and whether you can change that. We install and service electric strikes, magnetic locks, keypads, and card, fob, and mobile credential systems on gates, so access can be granted or revoked without ever rekeying. When staff turn over or a tenant moves out, you delete a credential instead of changing hardware.
Commercial & Property Gates
We handle driveway and pedestrian gates, dumpster and enclosure gates, warehouse and loading-area gates, parking and garage entry gates, pool and yard gates, and fence gates on commercial and residential property alike. If the gate is metal and it isn’t opening, closing, or locking the way it should, that’s our work.
South Florida note: Salt air is brutal on gate hardware. Hinges seize, welds corrode from the inside, and lock cylinders freeze up years earlier here than they would inland. If your gate is getting stiff or noisy, catching it early is a weld and a hinge — leaving it turns into a new gate.
Gate Repair — Common Questions
Do you weld on site, or does the gate have to come off?
We do the work on site in almost every case. We bring the equipment to you, so your gate isn’t gone for days and your property isn’t left open.
My gate is sagging and won’t latch. Is that the lock?
Usually not. It’s almost always the hinges or the post letting the gate drop out of alignment. Once we bring the gate back square, the existing latch typically works again.
Can you repair a rusted gate, or do I need a new one?
Most rusted gates are repairable. We cut out the corroded section, fabricate and weld in new material to match, and finish it so the repair blends in — far cheaper than replacement.
Can you put a high-security lock on a gate?
Yes. We’re an authorized Medeco and Mul-T-Lock dealer and can fit high-security cylinders to gate hardware, including keying your gate to match the other locks on the property.
Do you handle keypads and card access on gates?
Yes. We install and service keypads, electric strikes, magnetic locks, and card, fob, and mobile credential systems so you can add or remove access without changing hardware.
