Gate parts and welding repair in Lighthouse Point typically runs $180–$650 depending on the component, and most jobs are completed same-day when you call before noon.

Call (844) 722-6701 for a free estimate and honest timeline.
We’ve been driving out to Lighthouse Point from our Miami base for years, and we know the difference between a quick hinge swap on a standard aluminum gate and a full post replacement on a 1970s wrought-iron estate gate sitting three feet from a saltwater canal. James handles the job himself, and our Gate Parts & Welding truck carries hinges, rollers, latches, lock hardware, and a portable MIG/TIG rig so we’re not making two trips.
Why Summit Gate Repair Service Miami Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
730+ customers have reviewed us across our 8 years in business, and that 4.8-star rating comes from jobs exactly like the ones we do in Lighthouse Point — not generic handyman work, but dedicated gate system repair where the technician shows up with the right part and the skill to install it.
James Wilson is the lead technician on every call. You won’t get a rotating subcontractor who has to call a dispatcher to identify your gate motor. When we pull up to a home off NE 24th Street or along the Venetian Isles canal system, James diagnoses the failure, welds the repair, and tests the finished gate before he leaves.
Our response time to Lighthouse Point is typically same-day or next-morning for standard calls, and we prioritize emergency latch or lock failures that leave a gate unsecured overnight. We stock parts for LiftMaster, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule operators — the brands we see most often on Lighthouse Point homes — so we’re not ordering components after we arrive.
The local knowledge matters here more than most places. We know which 1980s estate gates on the Coral Ridge Waterway have obsolete Elite control boards that need creative sourcing. We know the brackish air off the Intracoastal eats hinge pins faster than inland Deerfield Beach. That specificity saves you a return visit.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Lighthouse Point
Hinge Replacement
Seized hinge pins are the most common call we get in Lighthouse Point, and it’s almost always salt corrosion. On a canal-front home in the Venetian Isle neighborhood, we replaced a corroded FAAC 740 hydraulic operator whose motor housing had cracked from oxidation, plus rewired the keypad that had shorted from salt spray. We also installed a new LiftMaster LA500 gate opener on the seawall-side gate—both systems now sealed with marine-grade connectors and stainless steel fasteners to withstand the brackish air. A typical hinge replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $180–$320 for standard residential gates, $350–$480 for heavy wrought-iron estate gates requiring torch cutting.
Post Replacement
Gate posts in Lighthouse Point take a beating from two directions — the Atlantic salt spray from the east and the canal humidity from the west. Concrete-embedded steel posts corrode at the grade line, causing the gate to sag or bind. We extract the old post, pour new concrete with galvanized or stainless hardware, and realign the gate frame. Post replacement in Lighthouse Point typically costs $450–$650 including removal, new post, concrete, and rehang. Homes on the Coral Ridge Waterway or NE 21st Avenue corridor often need this every 10–12 years.
Rail Repair & Custom Welding
Cracked or rusted gate rails don’t get fixed with a handyman’s stick welder. We bring a portable MIG/TIG rig and match the weld to your gate material — steel, aluminum, or wrought iron. Custom welding in Lighthouse Point runs $220–$400 for rail repair, $350–$600 for structural frame reinforcement or custom fabrication. The salt environment means we specify marine-grade primer and paint, not standard hardware-store spray. This is where our in-house capability matters: no waiting for a metal shop in Pompano Beach to fit you into their schedule.
Latch & Lock Hardware
Canal-front gates see latch and lock failure from two sources — mechanical corrosion of the bolt or strike plate, and electronic keypad membrane failure from salt spray. We stock mechanical latches, magnetic locks, and replacement keypads for DoorKing and Elite systems. A standard latch replacement in Lighthouse Point is $140–$240; keypad or magnetic lock replacement runs $280–$450. We always check the secondary dock gate too — many Lighthouse Point properties have dual access points, and both usually fail around the same time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, and Mighty Mule operators — the five brands we encounter most on Lighthouse Point homes from the 1990s through today. Our truck stocks control boards, limit switches, gear assemblies, and safety loops for these systems, plus we carry Ghost Controls and Elite components for the newer solar and low-voltage installs we’re seeing on canal-front properties. When you call us, we ask the brand and model upfront so James arrives with the right part. No “we’ll come look and order it.” That’s a second trip you don’t need.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Saltwater corrosion seizing hinge pins and roller bearings on wrought-iron driveway gates, requiring torch cutting and custom welding to free stuck panels. The brackish air here is relentless — we’ve pulled hinge pins that look like they’ve been underwater for years, even on gates with “stainless” hardware that wasn’t actually marine-grade.
- Brackish air causing keypad membrane failure and internal circuit board shorts within 2–3 years, especially on gates facing the canals. The moisture-laden environment penetrates standard NEMA enclosures. We specify upgraded gasketing and vented housings on replacements.
- Hydraulic gate operators leaking from corroded seals and hose fittings, accelerated by the constant moisture-laden environment. FAAC and BFT hydraulic systems are particularly vulnerable when mounted near grade in Lighthouse Point’s canal-front lots.
- Dual-gate properties with simultaneous failure of street-side and dock-side systems — a scenario unique to Lighthouse Point’s high canal-front concentration. One service call, two distinct gate systems, both suffering from the same environmental attack. We plan for both, stock for both, and finish both in one visit.

FAQs — Gate Parts & Welding in Lighthouse Point
Your gate hardware corrodes faster here because Lighthouse Point is surrounded by saltwater on multiple sides — the Atlantic to the east and the dense canal system throughout the city. The brackish, moisture-laden air penetrates standard hinges, keypads, and motor housings far more aggressively than in inland Broward communities like Coconut Creek. We specify marine-grade stainless hardware and upgraded sealing on every replacement. Call (844) 722-6701 for an inspection — estimates are free.
Yes, we can weld most rusted wrought-iron gates in Lighthouse Point, provided the base metal hasn’t thinned beyond structural integrity. James brings a portable TIG rig to the job and matches the filler metal to your gate’s original fabrication. If the rust is too advanced, we’ll tell you honestly and quote a replacement rather than a repair that fails in six months. Call (844) 722-6701 — we’ll assess it on-site.
Yes, and we plan for this on Lighthouse Point calls. A sizeable share of canal-front properties here have dual access points, and both systems typically suffer from the same brackish-air corrosion. We stock parts for both gates and schedule the work to finish both in one visit — you won’t pay for two separate service calls. Call (844) 722-6701 and mention both gates when you book.
Yes, we repair LiftMaster operators in Lighthouse Point, including models damaged by salt spray or moisture intrusion. We stock control boards, capacitors, and safety loop detectors for the LA400, LA500, and RSW series — the operators we see most on local estate gates. If the board is corroded beyond reliable repair, we’ll quote a replacement with upgraded enclosure sealing. Call (844) 722-6701 for same-day diagnosis.
We can usually fix a broken gate lock or latch in Lighthouse Point same-day if you call before noon, and we prioritize unsecured gates that leave your property open overnight. James carries mechanical latches, magnetic locks, and keypad replacements on the truck, so most canal-side lock failures are resolved in one visit. Call (844) 722-6701 — we’ll confirm timing and head your way.
