AfterGate Repair Services in Hidden Hills, CA
In Hidden Hills, a gate that won’t open or close isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s the difference between a working ranch estate and a house that can’t move its horses, its trailers, or its people. We fix automatic and manual driveway gates across Hidden Hills, from Round Meadow Road down to Long Valley Road, often the same day you call. A live person answers at (925) 263-6107 and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a repair we can handle in one visit.
We’re a gate-only company. Not a general contractor. Not a handyman with a truck. We install, repair, and automate gates, and that’s the whole trade. In Hidden Hills, where nearly every property behind the community’s own guarded perimeter has a second private gate, that narrow focus matters more than anywhere else in the Valley.

Why Hidden Hills Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
We’ve been welding, hanging, and automating driveway gates for over 42 years, since 1984. In that time we’ve learned what holds up and what doesn’t on an equestrian estate: 16-foot and 20-foot gates racking off level, operators burned out by Santa Ana gusts, hinges worn thin by a closing gate that weighs more than a pickup truck. Homeowners in the Long Valley corridor and up near the Hidden Hills Community Association main gates call us because we’ve already seen their problem on some other driveway in town.
Victor Salinas runs Ironworks Gate Co. He’s the person who makes sure every repair is done right and backed in writing. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t marketing copy. It’s one sentence: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing. Every job, every time. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine automation brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, and Elite. They show up when they say they will, and they quote the price before turning a single bolt.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hidden Hills
Gate Repair
A sagging wooden gate, a broken weld, a hinge that screeches every morning at 6 a.m. when the stable hand arrives. We repair all of it. Most gate repairs in Hidden Hills are completed in a single visit, with the price settled before work begins.
Learn more about our Gate Repair in Hidden Hills.
Gate Installation
New estate gates, replacement gates for ones that have racked beyond repair, or a wider gate to clear a horse trailer with room to spare. We measure on site and provide a written price. No same-day rush on an installation, because a gate that size has to be drilled, braced, and set correctly or it won’t be right in five years.
Learn more about our Gate Installation in Hidden Hills.
Gate Motor & Opener
When an opener stops responding or makes noise but won’t move the gate, the culprit is usually a capacitor, a limit switch, or a burned motor. We carry parts for LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule openers, so the correct fix happens on the first visit, not the third.
Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Hidden Hills.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, and phone-based entry systems for the second gate, the service entrance, or the equestrian access gate on the back side of the property. We wire it, program it, and show you how it works before we leave.
Gate Parts & Welding
Cracked welds on steel gates, rusted bottom rails, replacement rollers and hinges. Our welding is done right: ground clean, welded hot, and painted so it doesn’t announce itself as a repair. A square deal, upfront price, no surprises on the bill.

Why Hidden Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hidden Hills sits inland, in the San Fernando Valley, where summer temperatures regularly cross 100°F and Santa Ana winds come roaring through the Santa Monica Mountains passes. Those winds rack gates off their hinges a fraction of an inch at a time, until one morning the gate won’t latch. The heat bakes operator circuit boards and degrades the rubber sweep strips along the bottom of the gate, and the UV eats through painted finishes faster than it does in coastal towns like Malibu.
The housing stock here compounds the problem. Hidden Hills is an equestrian community with minimum one-acre lots, many developed in the 1960s and 70s with old concrete posts, corroded conduit, and footings that were never meant to carry a 16-foot steel gate. When a ranch-style estate gets rebuilt into a luxury property, the new gate goes onto old infrastructure. We see spring failures where the footer has shifted, and operator burnout from a gate that’s simply heavier than the original motor was ever rated to move.
There’s also the HOA dimension. Hidden Hills has strict aesthetic and sight-line rules, especially where gates meet horse trail crossings. A repair that changes a gate’s swing arc or height, even slightly, can trigger a compliance review. Our techs photograph and document the original positioning before any structural repair, so if the community association asks, you have the record. That habit has saved Hidden Hills homeowners more than a few headaches.

The two most common causes here are Santa Ana winds racking gates off level and heat stress on operator electronics. Add to that the equestrian lots with large, heavy gates and old footings, and you get operator failures that a coastal city rarely sees. We build and repair for those conditions specifically.
We work on nine major automation brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Whatever opener is on your driveway, the odds are high we have the parts on the truck and the training to fix it correctly on the first visit. Call (925) 263-6107 and tell us the brand; we’ll tell you what to expect.
A full installation includes removing the old gate if needed, setting posts, hanging the new gate, installing and programming the operator, wiring keypads or other access control, and cleaning up. On installations we schedule a free measure and provide a written price, then order and build. Call (925) 263-6107 to schedule the measure. The estimate is free.

What Hidden Hills Customers Say
"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
- Layla Haddad"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Jamal Dawson"The hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Megan Whitaker
