Gate installation in Maywood usually means fitting a new gate onto an old, tired opening, often between two stucco pillars that haven’t been square since the 1970s. Most of the work we do in 90270 is on homes where the gate is the front door: there’s no side yard, no back driveway, just a wrought-iron or chain-link gate swinging over a narrow walkway. We measure, level, and set new posts properly so the gate doesn’t drag on the concrete a year from now. Call (833) 620-0289 for a free estimate.
Why Maywood Homes Are Different
Maywood is one of the most densely packed small cities in LA County, and that density shapes almost every gate job we take here. Lots are typically 5,000 square feet or less. Homes are post-WWII stucco bungalows and 1950s-60s tract houses, many with original wrought-iron pedestrian gates and driveway gates hung on masonry or stucco pillars that have been patched, re-patched, and patched again. Those pillars are often the real problem. Warm, dry Southern California weather is easy on steel, but the seasonal Santa Ana winds and the drought-to-rain cycles crack the stucco-and-masonry posts those gates hang from. When a post shifts, the hinges shift with it, and suddenly a gate that worked for forty years is scraping the sidewalk.
On the narrow residential streets off Slauson and Randolph, gates often open directly onto the sidewalk with only inches of swing clearance. A hinge that’s off by a quarter inch because a stucco post cracked will drag the concrete every single time. The fix is resetting the post, not bending the gate. That’s the kind of problem we see constantly in Maywood and rarely see in cities with bigger setbacks and wider walkways. Gate repair here is often about restoring a family’s front entry, not a driveway accessory, and turnaround speed matters because there’s no side yard to go around when the gate won’t open.

Our Main Maywood Services
Two services cover most of what Maywood homeowners and property managers call us for: mechanical gate repair when the gate binds, sags, or won’t latch, and electric gate repair when a motor, board, or sensor stops responding. Here’s how each one works in this city.
Gate Repair in Maywood
Most Maywood gate repairs start with a hinge or post problem, not a broken gate. We straighten welded frames, replace bent hinge pins, reset sagging posts, and rehang gates so they swing clean over sidewalk openings with inches of clearance. If the gate has dragged for years, we’ll cut and re-weld the bottom rail or install a new adjustable hinge set. This is the fix-it-right approach: same gate, realigned and rehung, no unnecessary replacement. For Maywood’s tighter lots and older pillars, we also check that the post itself is still solid before we hang anything on it. Read more about Gate Repair in Maywood.
Electric Gate Repair in Maywood
When an electric gate in Maywood stops opening, the cause is usually the control board, a limit switch, a dead battery in the backup, or a sensor that’s lost its alignment. We diagnose the system you already own, from the motor to the keypad, and replace only the part that failed. We work on LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls, so we’re not going to tell you to rip out a good motor because we don’t carry the board.

Gate Installation in Maywood
Gate installation in Maywood almost always means working with a tight opening and an older post situation. A new gate has to clear a sidewalk that’s right there, swing without hitting the house or the neighbor’s wall, and hang square on pillars that may have shifted over decades. We measure the actual opening, not the original dimensions, and we set new posts or sleeves into the existing masonry where needed so the gate hangs true from day one. The climate here is kind to steel, but the posts fail before the gate does, so a Maywood installation often includes post work before the gate goes on. That’s the difference between a gate that works for a year and a gate that works for twenty. If you’re considering a full project, start with our Gate Installation page for an overview of how we approach every job.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing a heavy driveway gate by hand, or you bought a home where the old operator was removed and the gate just sits there.
What it costs in Maywood
Automatic gate installation in Maywood typically runs $1,800 to $14,000, depending on whether we’re adding an operator to an existing gate or building a full automated system with power and access control.
How we do it
We survey the opening, check the gate weight and travel, set the operator and track on solid posts, run power per code, and program remotes, keypads, and safety edges before testing full open-and-close cycles.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want a keypad or remote-controlled gate but currently have a manual swing gate, or a new pedestrian gate needs an electric strike and intercom from the start.
What it costs in Maywood
Electric gate installation in Maywood generally lands between $1,800 and $8,000, depending on operator type, gate size, and whether we’re adding an intercom, keypad, or loop detector.
How we do it
We install the operator, run low-voltage wiring through conduit, mount the control board and safety sensors, program entry devices, and set the open and close limits so the gate stops smoothly every time.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is sagging beyond a hinge adjustment, or the opening never had a gate and you want a secure, proper front entry.
What it costs in Maywood
A new driveway gate in Maywood typically costs $1,200 to $8,000 installed, with the higher end covering larger custom steel gates and automation.
How we do it
We build or order the gate to the measured opening, set new posts in concrete where the old ones are shot, hang the gate with adjustable hinges, and set the latch and drop rod.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes up or the sidewalk sits too close for a swing gate, so a sliding gate is the only gate that will actually clear the space.
What it costs in Maywood
Sliding gate installation in Maywood runs $2,500 to $14,000, including the track, rollers, motor, and any required cantilever hardware.
How we do it
We set the track level across the full travel distance, hang the gate on rollers, install the motor and rack, run power, and adjust travel limits and safety edges.

Do I need a permit to install a gate in Maywood?

What pushes a Maywood price up is usually the post situation. A cracked stucco pillar that needs to be sleeved or rebuilt before a gate can be rehung adds labor and material. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay, and we agree on that number before any work starts.

What Maywood Customers Say
"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."
- Wade Quinn"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Gabriela Castillo"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."
