A new gate in Henderson typically runs between $1,800 and $9,500 depending on material, automation, and driveway width. Most installations take one to two days from the first concrete pour to the final opener test. That’s the straight answer we give homeowners in Green Valley, Anthem, and Whitney before we ever set a post. Latch & Post Gate Repair has been part of the Cedarwell family of gate specialists since 2009, led by Cody Beckman, and installation is one of the three things we do – repair, installation, and electric gate work. No side projects, no general handyman drift. When you call (775) 210-7739, a live person answers, day or night, and the technician who shows up arrives with a written price in hand before any work begins.
Key Takeaways
- Blunt pricing: cedar and tube-steel gates run $1,800 to $4,200 manual, $3,800 to $9,500 automated.
- Written price first: you see the exact number and approve it before we touch anything.
- Cedarwell C.A.R.E. routine on every visit: shoe covers, drop cloths, and a cleanup photo before we leave.
- Factory-trained installers on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Viking openers.
- Every installation is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Styles & brands we work with
Automatic Gate Installation
Automatic Gate Installation means adding an opener, a receiver, safety photo eyes, and usually a keypad or remote system to a new or existing gate so it opens and closes on its own. In Henderson, we see this most on driveways in Anthem and MacDonald Ranch, where shade makes walking to the gate less appealing in July, and in neighborhoods where residents want to avoid stepping out of the car after dark. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson installs full automatic systems, including the run from the gate motor to the house, with a written quote first. Automatic systems on a new Henderson gate usually add $2,000 to $4,300 over the price of the gate itself, depending on opener brand and whether you want battery backup.
Openers and controls that last
We install LiftMaster and FAAC openers most often in Henderson because both handle our summer heat without eating capacitors. Every opener we mount gets a surge protector wired in as standard, not as an upsell. That one addition prevents the single most common Las Vegas valley failure we see after monsoon-season lightning.
What automation must include to pass inspection
Henderson enforces UL 325 entrapment standards on automated gates, and our installs always include photo eyes and a reversing edge sensor. We handle the permitting paperwork and the inspection scheduling so you’re not on the phone with the city. This is the same standard we bring to every Gate Installation in North Las Vegas, where the code requirements are nearly identical.
Gate Installation Services
Gate Installation Services cover the whole job: measuring the opening, choosing the right gate and opener for how the driveway slopes, digging and setting posts in concrete, hanging the gate, wiring automation, and testing the full swing arc at least ten times before we call it done. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson handles wood, steel, aluminum, and tube-style gates, and every install starts with a free measure and a written estimate. In Henderson, a straightforward single-swing manual gate usually lands between $1,800 and $3,400 depending on size and post condition. The same opening automated runs higher, which we break down further down the page.
Posts, concrete, and the Henderson soil factor
Henderson soil runs hard and rocky once you get east of Boulder Highway, and caliche is common in Green Valley and near the McCullough Range. Our installers set gate posts in a minimum 30-inch deep footing with a wider bell at the bottom so expanding clay doesn’t push the post out of plumb over time. Too many gates in this valley were set at 18 inches by whoever built the house, and you can see the effect at the latch line.
Inside the home, we protect your floors
When the job requires accessing the opener wiring or control panel from inside the house, our technicians put on shoe covers at the door and lay drop cloths on every step of the path to the panel. We photograph the clean-up before we leave and send it to you. Pet owners have told us their dogs didn’t even notice we’d been inside, and that’s the C.A.R.E. routine working the way Cody Beckman built it.

Electric Gate Installation
Electric Gate Installation is the specialized work of wiring a gate opener to a permanent power source, installing safety sensors and the control board, and programming remotes, keypads, and sometimes a vehicle sensor loop in the driveway. It’s the part of gate work that separates a real gate company from a welder with a truck, because the wiring and sensor logic are what keep a 600-pound gate from closing on a kid or a dog. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson runs dedicated circuits by code, wires the photo eyes in a way that survives our heat, and tests the system under a full sun load. Expect the electric portion to add between $1,200 and $2,600 to a Henderson gate project for a single opener and keypad, and more for dual-swing drives.
Power runs and the garage panel
Most Henderson homes have their garage sub-panel on the side of the house facing the driveway, which usually keeps the wire pull to the gate under 80 feet, even on a deeper lot in Anthem. We run 12-gauge direct burial cable regardless of distance because the extra copper costs pennies per foot and prevents voltage drop at the opener. The alternative, which we see on older Henderson installs, is a wheezing opener that trips its breaker every afternoon.
Safety edges and photo eyes, every single time
We won’t wire an electric gate without a working reverse mechanism, and that’s non-negotiable. On a recent Green Valley job, a previous installer had skipped the photo eye entirely and the homeowner’s labrador had twice been caught between gate and post before she called us. Every electric gate we install gets tested with an actual person-sized object in the closing path, not just a finger on the board.
Driveway Gate Installation
Driveway Gate Installation is exactly what it sounds like, a gate across the driveway, but doing it right in Henderson means accounting for the drop from the street to the garage slab and the curb radius on your lot. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson cuts the second post and the bottom rail to follow the slope so the gate swings clean without dragging gravel or scraping the driveway’s decorative coating. A manual driveway gate in Henderson, single swing, runs $2,000 to $3,800 with posts and hardware. Double swing for a wide driveway runs $3,200 to $6,000 manual, and automation on that adds what we covered in the electric section.
Sloped driveways and swing clearance
Henderson has more grade change than people expect, especially in the newer subdivisions along Volunteer Boulevard and in parts of Green Valley Ranch. We measure the rise and fall across the opening before quoting, because a gate that clears the driveway at the post can still drag at mid-swing if the slab crowns. The fix is sometimes a taller hinge placement, sometimes a lighter gate, and sometimes simply a different material. That measurement is the difference between a gate that works for five months and one that works for fifteen years.
Width and the two-car test
If two cars sit in the driveway overnight, a single 12-foot gate can feel tight the first time you back out in the dark. We walk through your actual vehicles during the estimate, not on a spec sheet, and we’ll tell you honestly if a sliding or double-swing layout fits better. Our neighbors in Boulder City often choose the double swing for that reason, especially with boat trailers in the equation.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding Gate Installation moves the gate sideways along the fence line instead of swinging it into the yard. In Henderson, it’s the right choice when the driveway slopes sharply toward the house, when there’s not enough flat pad for two swing leaves, or when the driveway is short and every foot of swing arc would block the garage. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson installs V-track sliding gates and cantilever sliding gates, each appropriate for different slopes and soils. A Henderson sliding gate starts around $3,500 for a manual single leaf to roughly 16 feet, and $5,000 to $9,500 with automation and a keypad, depending on the leaf weight and opener.
V-track versus cantilever
V-track slides on a steel rail bolted to the driveway, and it’s the lower-cost option that works beautifully on a poured concrete pad. Cantilever hangs from offset rollers on the gate itself, never touching the pavement, which is the one to choose if your driveway is pavers or if Henderson wind piles tumbleweeds and gravel into the track every spring. Both have their place, and we’ll explain the trade-off in the written estimate without pushing the more expensive option.
Wind in Henderson’s washes and open lots
A sliding gate with its full panel perpendicular to a 40-mph gust acts like a sail, and Henderson gets those gusts along the wash corridors in Whitney and near the boundary with Sunrise Manor. We oversize the post footings on sliding installs in exposed lots and add an extra roller or two on wider leaves. It’s the kind of detail you don’t see until the gate survives its first spring wind season without a wobble.
Gate Opener Installation
Gate Opener Installation is the service that retrofits an existing manual gate with an automatic opener, or replaces an opener that has reached the end of its life. We stock openers from LiftMaster, FAAC, and Viking, and we’ve replaced enough BFT and Linear units in Henderson to know their quirks before we even unbolt the old one. Installing an opener on an existing Henderson gate runs $1,200 to $2,800 for the opener, labor, photo eyes, and one keypad, assuming the gate itself is in sound enough shape to hold the hardware. If the gate sags or the hinges are worn, we’ll tell you honestly and quote the repair first, because hanging a $1,500 opener on a dragging gate just kills the opener.
Retrofit reality checks
Before quoting an opener on an existing gate, our technician checks the hinge pins for wear, the post tops for lean, and the gate’s weight against the opener’s rated duty cycle. A gate that was hand-built heavy, which is common in older Henderson neighborhoods where a welder made it custom, may need a higher-duty opener than an off-the-shelf kit provides. We’d rather size up and be right than sell you the cheapest fit and be back in August.
Remotes, keypads, and app access
Every Henderson family seems to want the same thing now: two remotes, a keypad for the kids walking to school, and phone app control for when a guest arrives before you get home. We program all three during the same visit, walk you through the app in about five minutes, and leave a laminated one-page cheat sheet taped inside the control box. If you’re comparing this with work we’ve done for Gate Installation in North Las Vegas, the opener hardware is the same; the driveway slope and sun exposure are usually what change the equation.
Gate Fabrication
Gate Fabrication is building the gate itself from raw material, and it’s for the Henderson homeowner whose opening is nonstandard, whose HOA requires a specific pattern, or who wants a wood-and-steel combination that wasn’t built on an assembly line. Latch & Post Gate Repair Henderson works with local fabricators to produce gates that match the existing fence, and every fabricated gate is powder-coated or sealed before it’s hung in the Henderson sun. Fabrication adds to the lead time and the price, typically $800 to $2,500 beyond a comparable off-the-shelf gate, but you get a gate cut to the opening rather than an opening adjusted to a gate.
HOA patterns and matching existing ironwork
Several Henderson HOAs, including communities in Green Valley and Anthem, require driveway gates to match the yard’s decorative iron or the common-area fencing. We photograph the existing work and match the balusters, spacing, and finish tone. It’s slower than grabbing a standard panel, but it keeps the design review from bouncing your project back for a second round.
When fabrication is the cheaper path
That sounds backward, but a non-square opening on a 25-year-old pillar can eat more labor trying to shim a standard gate than building one to the true measurement. We’ll measure to the sixteenth of an inch and tell you which route costs less. Sometimes fabrication is also the only way to get a clear bottom gap over a driveway that dips, which matters more than people expect on Henderson’s older streets.

AfterBrands We Service
We’re factory-trained on LiftMaster openers, and we stock their OEM safety sensors, control boards, and remotes on our Henderson trucks. If your LiftMaster isn’t closing smoothly, we can usually diagnose it on the first visit rather than ordering a part and coming back. Their battery-backup units also handle our heat better than most, and we’re comfortable installing and servicing the full current line.
On FAAC and BFT, which show up often on higher-end Henderson properties with custom iron gates, our technicians know the hydraulic and screw-drive models well enough to replace a board or bleed a system correctly without guesswork. Linear and Viking both have units running throughout Whitney and Paradise, and we service those as well, keeping common boards and limit switches on the truck. Whether you already own one of these brands or you’re choosing a new opener for a Gate Installation in Henderson project, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Your gate drags the driveway at the latch end. The hinge post has likely shifted, the hinges are worn at the pin, or the gate was hung heavy from day one. Continued use wears the opener out faster and works the post loose until the whole assembly tilts. The fix now is a hinge repair or re-hang; the fix later is a new post and often a new gate.
- The opener hums but the gate doesn’t move. In Henderson’s heat, this is usually the start capacitor or a stripped drive gear, both of which are straightforward parts replacements. Left alone, the hum turns into a dead board, which costs three to five times as much. We answer live at (775) 210-7739 and can often look at it the same day.
- The gate reverses halfway and opens again. That’s almost always a photo-eye or safety-edge issue, and it’s the system doing what it’s designed to do. The problem is that a gate stuck open is a gate that isn’t doing its job. It’s a short service call, not a total automation failure, and the right tech finds it fast.
- You can see daylight through the latch or the lock doesn’t catch. A gate that doesn’t latch lets wind bang it back and forth, which cracks welds and ruins openers in one season. The latch and the post are exactly what our name means, and a latch repair is one of the more common jobs we do across Henderson.
- The gate works but it’s getting louder every month. Grinding, squealing, and slow starts mean lubrication has failed or a roller or hinge has gone dry and dirty. It’s the cheapest problem to fix if you call early and one of the most expensive if you don’t, because friction loads the opener’s drive train until something gives.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call, a person answers. There’s no phone tree and no callback number, 24 hours a day. We ask what the gate is doing or what you want built, we give you a straight answer on whether we can help, and we schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for your family.
- 2
The measure and the honest walkthrough. Our technician arrives in a marked truck, uniformed and background-checked, and walks the opening with you. They check slope, post condition, concrete, access to power, and HOA requirements if they apply. They’ll also note if anything inside the home needs protecting during the wiring phase.
- 3
You get the written price. Before any work starts, you see a line-by-line quote with the gate, hardware, opener, and labor separated so you can see exactly where the money goes. There’s no verbal estimate and no changed price at the end. You accept it or you don’t, and there’s no pressure either way.
- 4
The installation happens, carefully. Posts go in with a 30-inch or deeper concrete footing depending on the soil and gate weight. Hardware gets torqued to spec, not zipped on with an impact set to maximum. If we’re inside your home, shoe covers and drop cloths go down first, and quiet tools come out if we’re working around nap time or a sleeping house.
- 5
The test, the walk, and the cleanup photo. We open and close the gate at least ten full cycles, trip the safety reverse with a real object, and hand you the remotes or show you the app. Before leaving, we photograph the work area clean and text it to you. Then you get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it isn’t right, Latch & Post makes it right, no arguments, within the year.
How Much Does Gate Installation Cost in Henderson?
A manual single-swing gate in Henderson typically runs $1,800 to $3,800 installed with posts and hardware. A double swing or a sliding gate runs closer to $3,000 to $6,000 manual. Automation adds $2,000 to $4,300 on top of the gate itself for the opener, safety edges, photo eyes, keypad, and remotes, which puts most automated Henderson installations between $3,800 and $9,500 all in. The factors that move the price are gate width, material (cedar, tube steel, ornamental iron, or aluminum), opener brand and duty rating, whether the driveway needs a power run longer than 80 feet, and whether the HOA requires a specific design. The way to avoid overpaying is to get the quote broken down line by line, which we do on every visit without being asked. A free estimate from Latch & Post includes the measure, the written number, and the C.A.R.E. routine on installation day: shoe covers, drop cloths, and a cleanup photo you can keep. You’ll see the price in writing and agree to it before we start, and that agreement is the only price you’ll ever be asked to pay.
