Gate installation in Florence-Graham usually means fitting a sturdy, reliable gate onto an older property where space is tight and the county has its own rules. We’re Gate Repair Compton, a gate-only specialist, and we work on the brand you already have. Most of the gates here are simple chain-link or wrought-iron swing and sliding gates squeezed between post-war stucco bungalows, and we handle everything from a single broken hinge to a full driveway gate installation. Call (866) 569-6161. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Florence-Graham Homes Are Different
Florence-Graham is a densely packed, renter-heavy unincorporated pocket of South LA where most driveway gates belong to landlords who need quick, low-cost fixes that keep vehicles off the street and comply with county rules, not the custom ornamental ironwork of wealthier neighbors. The housing stock is dominated by small post-war stucco bungalows and low-rise multi-unit buildings dating from the 1920s through the 1960s, often set close to the alley with narrow driveways and simple gates. That means gate openings tend to be tight, existing posts may sit right up against a property line, and the original hardware has often been patched together many times over the years.
The dry, warm climate and occasional Santa Ana winds can warp wooden gates and dry out hinges, while winter rains cause rust and soil shifting around posts in this heavily paved, low-permeability neighborhood. Because Florence-Graham is unincorporated county territory, gate work near the front property line frequently runs into LA County public works encroachment rules that differ from adjacent City of Los Angeles requirements, catching homeowners off guard. We’re familiar with those conditions and plan the work around them.

Our Main Florence-Graham Services
Two services cover most of what Florence-Graham homeowners and landlords call us for: mechanical gate repair and electric gate repair. One handles the structure and hardware, the other handles the automation that opens it.
Gate Repair in Florence-Graham
Older chain-link and wrought-iron gates in Florence-Graham take a beating from daily use, tight alley clearances, and years of patch fixes. Hinges sag, posts lean in shifting soil, and slide gates jump their tracks when rollers wear flat. Our Gate Repair in Florence-Graham page covers the full scope: hinge and wheel replacement, post straightening, latch adjustment, and panel straightening. Most repairs are straightforward once we diagnose the specific failure, and we quote the full price before any work begins. The goal on these older properties is a gate that opens smoothly and closes securely without replacing what can still be salvaged.
Electric Gate Repair in Florence-Graham
Automated gates are common here on multi-unit rentals where landlords want controlled access without a full-time attendant. When an operator stops responding to the remote, a safety loop fails, or a swing arm loses its travel limits, the gate becomes either stuck open or stuck shut. Our Electric Gate Repair in Florence-Graham page explains how we troubleshoot the motor, control board, remote receiver, and safety edges. We work on the brand you already have, so there’s no pressure to replace an entire system when a targeted repair will get it working again.
Gate Installation in Florence-Graham
Gate installation in Florence-Graham usually comes down to one of two scenarios: a rental property owner needs a simple, secure gate that survives tenant use, or a homeowner is finally replacing a wooden gate that the dry air and Santa Ana winds have warped beyond repair. We measure the existing posts or set new ones, account for the narrow driveway clearances common on these older lots, and make sure the gate swings or slides without clipping a car or a property line. That attention to the local conditions is the difference between an installation that works for years and one that needs adjustment every few months. See our Gate Installation service hub for the complete process.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re manually opening a heavy driveway gate every day, or you want controlled access for a multi-unit property without a full-time attendant.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Automatic gate installation in Florence-Graham typically runs $2,800 to $8,500 depending on gate size, operator type, and power access.
How we do it
We install the operator, mount the control board and receiver, run power to the gate, and set travel limits and safety detection so it opens and closes safely every time.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re adding automation to a new gate, or converting a manual gate you already own so you can open it from a remote, keypad, or phone app.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Electric gate installation in Florence-Graham typically falls between $2,200 and $6,800 for the operator, wiring, and control setup.
How we do it
We mount the swing or slide operator, connect the power supply for the current gate equipment, and program remotes and keypads to your access points.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway has no gate at all, or the existing one is too warped, rusted, or undersized to secure vehicles and keep them off the street.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Driveway gate installation in Florence-Graham typically starts near $1,850 and can reach $7,200 for a larger or automated setup.
How we do it
We set or reinforce posts, hang the gate to match the driveway slope, and adjust the hinges and latch so it swings cleanly without dragging or binding.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway is too short or too sloped for a swing gate, so a sliding gate that runs parallel to the fence line is the right fit.
What it costs in Florence-Graham
Sliding gate installation in Florence-Graham typically runs $2,400 to $7,800 depending on track length, gate weight, and whether it’s automated.
How we do it
We set the track and roller system, hang the gate so it travels smoothly, and install the motor and safety devices if the gate is automated.

Do I need county approval for a new gate in Florence-Graham?
Yes, often. Because Florence-Graham is unincorporated county territory, anything near the front property line may need LA County Public Works review for encroachment. We’ll help you figure out what applies before any work starts.
How long does a gate installation take in Florence-Graham?
Most simple installations finish in one visit. A full automatic sliding gate with new posts and power work may take a day and a half, depending on concrete curing time and how the ground looks once we start digging. Call (866) 569-6161 for an exact timeline.

What Florence-Graham 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."
- Elena Martinez"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."
- Elena Flores"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
