We have been serving homeowners in Broward and Miami-Dade counties since 2013. We know that waiting for a technician who might not show up is the last thing you need.

Fast, Local Gate Repair
We don’t operate out of a call center hundreds of miles away. Our technicians are local, and our trucks are stocked with the components necessary to service the nine major automation brands we specialize in: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.
Because we focus exclusively on gate systems, we don’t waste time figuring out how a system works. We arrive, diagnose the issue, and provide an upfront price. If you approve, we do the work right then and there. We know the humidity and salt spray in Fort Lauderdale can wreak havoc on gate electronics and metal hardware. We don’t just patch the problem; we identify why it happened. If a sensor is failing due to corrosion from the Atlantic air, we replace it with high-grade components designed for the South Florida climate. We keep our schedules tight so we can reach you quickly, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise means you won’t have to call us back for the same issue.

How Our Repair Process Works
When you call Ironworks Gate Co., you aren’t getting a salesperson; you are getting a technician who understands the mechanics of your gate.
1. Initial Assessment: We arrive at your property, inspect the gate, the motor, and the electrical connections. We identify the root cause of the failure.
2. Upfront Pricing: Before any tool is touched, we explain what is wrong and exactly how much it will cost to fix it. There are no surprise fees or hidden charges.
3. The Repair: We perform the repair using high-quality parts compatible with your specific opener brand.
4. Testing: We cycle your gate multiple times to ensure the limit switches, safety sensors, and force settings are calibrated correctly.
5. The Promise: We finalize the job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, giving you peace of mind that the repair will hold.
Safety and Professional Gate Care
Gate systems involve significant weight and high-tension components. A driveway gate can weigh hundreds of pounds, and the motors operate with enough force to cause serious injury if a system is not installed or serviced correctly. Never attempt to adjust tension springs, modify gate arms, or bypass safety sensors on your own. If you hear grinding, see a gate leaning, or notice that your safety sensors are not stopping the gate when an object is in the path, stop using the gate immediately. Call a professional who has the training to handle these dangerous components safely. We are happy to provide an inspection to ensure your system is safe for your family and pets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to me for a gate repair?
We prioritize emergency calls and typically offer same-day or next-day service for residents in the Fort Lauderdale area. Because we are locally based, our technicians can move between jobs efficiently without being tied to long-distance travel, allowing us to respond faster than larger, regional companies. Call (833) 754-7503 to see our current availability for your neighborhood.
Do you serve my specific town?
Yes. We serve the entire Fort Lauderdale metro area, including Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Davie, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Hollywood, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, and Miami. If you are in Broward or Miami-Dade county, we likely have a technician nearby.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my gate motor?
In many cases, a repair is the more cost-effective option, especially if your gate automation system is a quality brand like LiftMaster or FAAC. We always evaluate the condition of the motor housing and the internal gears before recommending a replacement. If the cost of the repair exceeds 50% of the value of a new unit, we will tell you upfront and help you weigh your options. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you have received.
Do you offer after-hours or weekend service?
We understand that gate problems do not stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, which is why we have a live person answering our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We do not use voicemail trees or answering services that just take messages. When you call, you speak to someone who can coordinate a technician to help you, regardless of the time or day.
What is your 90-Day Done Right Promise?
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is our Keystone Standard. It is a simple, written guarantee: if the repair we perform is not functioning correctly within 90 days, we come back and make it right at no additional cost to you.

What Our Customers Say
"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
- Layla Haddad"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Jamal Dawson
