Gate Repair & Automation in Miami, FL

Gate Repair, Gate Motors & Automation in Miami

A gate that won’t open, won’t close, drags, or sits crooked is more than an annoyance, it’s a security gap and, if it’s a pool gate, a safety problem. South Florida Fabrication & Fencing repairs residential and commercial gates throughout Miami-Dade and installs and services gate motors and access control systems, so your gate works every time you need it to.

As a fabrication shop, we can fix what most gate companies can’t: re-weld a cracked frame, rebuild a sagging leaf, replace rusted-out sections, or fabricate a matching panel, not just swap a part and hope.

Gate Repair Services

• Sagging or dragging gates, re-hang, re-brace, or replace hinges and posts so the gate swings true and latches
• Bent or damaged gates, straightening, re-welding, and section replacement after vehicle impact or storms
• Rust repair, cutting out corroded sections, welding in new material, and refinishing iron gates
• Latch, lock & hinge replacement, including self-closing, self-latching hardware for pool gates
• Sliding gate track & roller repair, rollers, tracks, and guide wheels that bind or jump
• Post replacement, leaning or rotted posts reset in new concrete footings

Gate Motor Repair & Replacement

When an automatic gate stops responding, opens partway, or runs slowly, the cause can be the operator, the control board, the power supply, the safety sensors, or the gate itself binding. We diagnose the whole system rather than guessing. We repair and replace swing and slide gate operators, control boards, batteries and backup power, photo-eye safety sensors, loop detectors, and receivers. If an older motor is beyond economical repair, we’ll recommend a properly rated replacement and install it.

New Gate Automation Installation

Want to add a motor to an existing gate or automate a new one? We install:

• Swing gate operators, single and dual-arm systems sized to your gate’s weight and width
• Sliding gate operators, chain- or rack-driven units for rolling and cantilever gates
• Access control, keypads, remotes, intercoms, phone-based entry, and card/fob readers
• Vehicle sensors & exit loops, automatic opening for outbound traffic
• Safety devices, photo eyes and edge sensors to stop the gate if something is in the way
• Battery backup & solar, keep the gate working through power outages

Not every gate is ready to be automated. A sagging or undersized gate will fight the motor and wear it out. We’ll inspect the gate first and, if needed, reinforce or rebuild it so the operator lasts. Building a new gate? See our custom gates page, we can design it around automation from the start.

Residential & Commercial Gate Service

We service gated homes and estates, condo and HOA community entrances, apartment complexes, and commercial and industrial properties across Miami-Dade. For property managers we can set up recurring maintenance so gates, motors, and safety sensors are checked before they fail.

Frequently Asked Questions

My gate motor runs but the gate won’t move. What’s wrong?

Often the gate itself is binding, a dropped hinge, a bent track, or debris, rather than the motor. It can also be a stripped drive component. We check both the gate and the operator.

Can you add a motor to my existing gate?

In most cases, yes, provided the gate is structurally sound and the posts can support an operator. If not, we’ll tell you what needs reinforcing first.

Do you repair all gate motor brands?

We work on most common residential and commercial operators. Tell us the brand and model when you call and we’ll confirm.
