A gate that won’t open, drags across the concrete, or groans like it’s in pain is more than a nuisance in Northridge.

Gate Repair Services We Offer in Northridge
Gate Repair
A sagging swing gate, a slide gate that shudders mid-travel, a broken hinge, a weld that’s failing: these are the calls we handle most in Northridge. We assess the entire gate system, not just the symptom, because a gate that binds today often has a shifting footing underneath it from years back. Learn more about our gate repair in Northridge.
Gate Installation
New construction or replacing a gate that’s outlived its frame, Ironworks Gate Co. installs cantilever slide gates, dual-swing iron gates, and estate driveway gates built for the wide lots common in Northridge. Every install starts with a site measure and a written price before any materials are ordered. Learn more about our gate installation in Northridge.
Gate Motor & Opener
When a gate stops mid-cycle on a 108°F afternoon, it’s usually the operator hitting thermal shutoff or a gear grinding past its service life. We service and replace LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and more, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes better financial sense. Learn more about our gate motor and opener service in Northridge.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, telephone entry systems, loop detectors, and remote programming for Northridge homes. We match your access control to how your family actually uses the gate, and we program, test, and walk you through it before we leave.
Gate Parts & Welding
Broken hinge brackets, bent track, rusted-through pickets, snapped chain. Our welders repair structural steel and iron on-site when possible, and we source or fabricate replacement parts that match the existing gate rather than forcing an off-the-shelf compromise.

Why Northridge’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Northridge sits directly over the epicenter of the 1994 earthquake, and that fact still walks into every gate diagnosis we perform here. The rebuild wave from 1994 through 1998 poured thousands of new concrete gate post footings across 91324, 91325, and 91327. Those installations are now 25 to 30 years old, and we routinely find that chronic gate misalignment in Northridge traces back to a post-quake footing that was poured slightly off-level and has been shifting incrementally ever since. A hinge adjustment alone won’t hold if the post beneath it is tilted.
The San Fernando Valley also bottles heat, and Northridge regularly hits 105 to 112°F in summer. That cooks grease out of hinges and rack-and-pinion drive systems, and it pushes automatic gate operators into thermal shutoff again and again. When the Santa Anas arrive in autumn, large swing gates catch the wind like sails, bending hinges and racking frames in a failure pattern we see every year. All of which is why a Northridge gate repair should always begin with checking the concrete footing before resetting the operator. Skip that step and you’re signing up for a callback within the season.

We inspect the footing first, because re-aligning hinges without fixing the base guarantees the problem returns within a season.

What Northridge Customers Say
"A hydraulic arm was leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned the stain as best he could, and it has been dry since."
- Erin Sutton"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
- Veronica Ramirez"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
