Gate installation in Lakewood starts with the lot, not the gate. This city grew up in two waves – brick and frame ranches from the post-war boom, then dense townhome and condo clusters built through the 1980s – and both waves left behind gate posts set in shallow footings that have been heaving through Front Range freeze-thaw ever since. New infill on the east side brings modern steel and privacy-fence gates onto those same old lots. We work exclusively on gates: manual and automated, residential and commercial, from a sagging pedestrian gate to a full driveway rebuild. Call (866) 361-9624 for a free estimate.
Why Lakewood Homes Are Different
Lakewood’s gate work splits along property type in a way that’s sharper here than in newer planned suburbs to the south or the tighter urban grid to the east. On the east side, mid-century single-family lots are being scraped and rebuilt, which means original gate posts and hardware sitting next to brand-new decorative steel on the same block. Meanwhile the 1970s and 1980s townhome and condo clusters use shared driveway gates and dumpster-enclosure gates, where a repair has to be agreed with several owners before anyone touches a hinge.
The climate does the rest. Intense Front Range sun, hard freeze-thaw cycles, and spring hail hammer gate hardware and wood posts, while the dry air cracks wood and works hinges loose. A gate that looks like a simple latch adjustment on a post-war lot is often a post-anchoring job once we dig down and find the original footing has lifted. Hail-season hardware damage is a recurring annual call here.

Our Main Lakewood Services
Two calls come in from Lakewood more than any other, and both center on gates that have stopped doing their job properly.
Gate Repair in Lakewood
Most Lakewood gate repairs come down to hardware that’s taken decades of sun and freeze-thaw: a hinge that’s dropped, a latch that won’t catch, a wood post that’s cracked and let the frame lean. On the townhome and condo side, repairs to shared driveway and enclosure gates need a clear diagnosis first so every owner involved knows what’s actually failing. We work on the gate structure itself, manual or powered. If it’s the operator instead, see Gate Repair in Lakewood.
Electric Gate Repair in Lakewood
When a Lakewood driveway gate stops mid-open or reverses for no reason, the fault is usually in the operator, a safety edge, or the power run, not the gate leaf. Our technicians read motor and board faults across LiftMaster, FAAC, Elite, and Mighty Mule equipment, and we test the safety devices before we call a repair finished. Shared automated gates on HOA-style driveways get the same diagnostic treatment as a single-family swing gate. Full detail lives on Electric Gate Repair in Lakewood.
Gate Installation in Lakewood
New gates in Lakewood almost always run into the same local truth: the ground has moved since the old gate went in. Post-war lots here were built with shallow original footings, and after decades of freeze-thaw those footings have heaved and tilted. Intense Front Range sun and spring hail then finish off the hardware on top. So our Gate Installation work starts by checking what’s under the posts rather than bolting new hardware onto a footing that’s already failed. Whether it’s a replacement on a rebuilt east-side lot, a new shared driveway gate for a 1970s townhome cluster, or modern decorative steel on an older brick ranch, we measure the site, set proper footing depth, and fit hardware suited to this climate.
Automatic Gate Installation
A new automatic gate is a measured, ordered, scheduled job. In Lakewood’s townhome and condo clusters, that often means a shared driveway gate where the operator, the safety edges, and the power source all have to be agreed before ordering. On single-family lots, it’s usually a driveway swing gate with a keypad or remote entry. Either way, we come out and measure first, then put the plan and the price in writing before anything is ordered.
Signs you need it
You’re opening a driveway gate by hand more than you’d like, the old operator has been repaired repeatedly, or you’re adding a gate where there wasn’t one.
What it costs in Lakewood
Automatic gate installation typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 in Lakewood depending on gate size, material, and operator, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We measure the opening, confirm footing depth and the power source, order the gate and operator, then set posts, hang the gate, mount the operator, and test the safety edges before handover.
Driveway Gate Installation
Driveway gates are where Lakewood’s site conditions matter most. The combination of a wide opening, a heavy leaf, and an old shallow footing is exactly the setup that causes sagging and dragging. Whether the driveway serves one house or a shared townhome entrance, we plan the posts to proper footing depth so the gate has something solid to hang from through the next few decades of freeze-thaw.
Signs you need it
The old driveway gate drags, the posts have leaned or cracked out of the ground, or the gate no longer meets the frame cleanly.
What it costs in Lakewood
Driveway gate installation typically runs $2,500 to $7,500 in Lakewood, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We set new posts at proper footing depth, hang and align the gate, fit hinges and hardware sized for the leaf, and check the swing or slide through its full travel.

What Lakewood 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."
- Ernesto Salazar"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 whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Bryce Parker"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."
