If you’re planning a new driveway or privacy gate in Lakewood, the job starts with the ground, not the gate. This city’s mid-century ranch and split-level lots often have original concrete footings that have moved with the clay soil, and our technicians check plumb before anything else so a new gate hangs true instead of fighting a leaning post for its whole life. We install manual and automated gates for homeowners, landlords, and property managers here, and we work on nearly any brand. Call (866) 389-4610 to set up a free on-site measure and a written price.
Why Lakewood Homes Are Different
Lakewood grew up mostly between the 1950s and the 1970s, and that single fact shapes almost every gate job. The housing stock is mid-century ranch and split-level homes with detached garages and backyard privacy gates, plus newer infill and townhome developments. The older wooden gates are hitting the end of their working life: rusted hinges, sagging posts, and picket or solid-panel designs that were never built to a standard catalog, which means a repair often calls for sourcing or fabricating to match a legacy profile rather than swapping a part.
The climate does its own damage. Front Range freeze-thaw cycles, intense summer sun, and dry windy springs warp wooden gates, heave and crack concrete footings, and rust mild-steel hardware quickly, so re-setting posts and replacing UV-damaged or winter-split components is routine here. On the east side near the 80225 and 80226 line, gate posts set in original 1960s concrete footings frequently lean after decades of clay-soil movement and freeze-thaw. That’s why a simple hinge repair can turn into a full post reset. Our technicians check plumb before quoting, not after.
HOA communities in Green Mountain and Belmar add another layer: gate style, color, and hardware have to match approved architectural palettes, so we ask for the approved specs before we set a footing or order hardware.

Our Main Lakewood Services
Most Lakewood homeowners reach out about one of these two: fixing a gate that has stopped working, or the automated systems that open it.
Gate Repair in Lakewood
Repair here usually starts with an honest look at the frame, not just the latch. Warped wooden panels, rusted hinges, and sagging posts are common in Lakewood’s older ranch neighborhoods, and freeze-thaw over the years can leave a gate dragging or binding even when nothing looks broken. We diagnose the whole assembly, replace the worn hardware and failed components, and re-set or repair footings where the concrete has heaved. For repairs on manual and automated gates alike, see gate repair in Lakewood to book an on-site look and a written price before any work begins.
Electric Gate Repair in Lakewood
An electric gate that won’t open, stalls halfway, or opens on its own points to a system problem, not a gate problem. We work through the chain: the operator motor, the control board, the safety sensors, and the low-voltage wiring that ties it together. Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule residential operators are common on Lakewood driveways, and we know how they fail in this climate. Wiring and power are where DIY work gets dangerous, so we handle the electrical side ourselves. For automated systems, electric gate repair covers diagnosis through the fix.
Gate Installation in Lakewood
Installing a gate in Lakewood means working with a lot that has probably seen fifty years of freeze-thaw. Driveway and privacy gates here are frequently hung on original concrete footings that have leaned with the clay soil, and the era of the house (most of the city’s ranch and split-level homes went up between the 1950s and 1970s) tells us what the ground and the hardware underneath are likely to be. Summer sun and dry spring wind push us toward UV-stable finishes and hardware that won’t rust through in a few seasons. Whether you want a manual drive gate or a fully automated one, we measure first, set footings to proper depth, and build to the opening you actually have. Our Gate Installation page lays out the full scope if you’re still deciding what kind of gate fits your property.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Look for a driveway opening with no gate, a gate that no longer clears the ground, or a post that has leaned enough that no amount of hinge adjustment brings the gate level.
What it costs in Lakewood
A new driveway gate is quoted per job, with the written estimate setting the final price after we measure the opening and check the footings.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check the existing posts for plumb, cut and set footings to proper depth for the gate’s weight, then hang the gate, align the swing or slide, and finish the hardware so it moves cleanly.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A sliding gate suits a driveway where a swing would hit a slope, a parked car, or a tight setback, or where the ground simply doesn’t give you the arc a swing gate needs.
What it costs in Lakewood
Sliding gates are quoted per job, and the written estimate confirms the final price once we’ve assessed the run of ground the gate has to travel.
How we do it
We set a level track or trackless footing, check that the ground along the run stays true, then mount the gate on its rollers and test the full travel for clearance and smooth movement.
What Gate Installation Costs in Lakewood
Every quote reflects the actual opening, gate style, hardware, and ground conditions on your property, so treat the figures below as typical ballpark ranges rather than a fixed price.
| Item | Typical range in Lakewood |
|---|---|
| Standard driveway gate (manual) | Quoted per job |
| Custom or oversized gate | Quoted per job |
| Automated gate with operator | Quoted per job |
Do I need a permit to install a gate in Lakewood?
Many Lakewood installations do require a permit, and the answer depends on the gate’s height, location, and whether it’s automated. Ask the city’s building department before you start, and get written HOA approval if you’re in a community like Green Mountain or Belmar. Call (866) 389-4610 for a free on-site estimate.
Can an electric gate be added to my existing gate?
Often yes, if the gate is structurally sound, plumb, and light enough for the operator. We check the posts, hinges, and clearance first, then recommend an operator matched to the gate’s weight and swing. Call (866) 389-4610 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Brands We Service in Lakewood
We repair and install equipment from the major gate and operator makers, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, along with the rest of the brands we work on. Because we carry no stocked parts, we order what your system needs and quote the turnaround when we book the job.

In Lakewood, what pushes a price up most is ground conditions: a leaning post on an original 1960s footing can mean a full reset, and a custom or HOA-approved profile costs more than a standard panel. We give you the price upfront and confirm it before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

What Lakewood Customers Say
"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
- Danielle Thompson"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."
- Amit Shah"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
