We work throughout North Las Vegas, from older ranch streets near Cheyenne and Civic Center Drive up to newer subdivisions along Aliante Parkway and the 215 corridor. Our team knows the local gate stock well: original steel swing gates from the ’60s and ’70s, retrofitted solar openers on block-wall pilasters, and heavier ornamental iron in newer builds. That matters because a fix that works in Summerlin won’t always survive a North Las Vegas summer.

Why Latch and Post Gate Repair Henderson Is North Las Vegas’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

Latch & Post is part of the Cedarwell family and has been doing gate-specific work since 2009. We’re not a handyman service that also does gates. Every gate comes down to two parts: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on. Our Gate Repair team works on swing gates, slide gates, pedestrian gates, and the operators that move them.

North Las Vegas homeowners call us because we name the problem before we fix it. We’ll tell you if the control board is worth replacing or if the whole operator has hit the end of its useful life. We’ll show you the heat-warped hinge post rather than just saying “it’s broken.” Cody Beckman leads the team, and the standard is simple: a written price before work starts, shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and a photo of the cleanup before we leave. No exceptions.

We’re factory-trained on the brands families actually own around North Las Vegas, including LiftMaster, FAAC, and Linear. Scheduling is coordinated from the brand’s Las Vegas office, and crews serve North Las Vegas locally. If your gate won’t close before you leave for work, call us. A live person picks up.

Gate Welding in North Las Vegas

Gate welding in North Las Vegas is most often needed on the original steel swing gates found on pre-1980s ranch homes northeast of I-15. Heat does real damage here. A west-facing black steel gate can hit well over 140°F surface temperature in July, and over thirty or forty years that repeated expansion and contraction warps the frame, cracks hinge welds, and pulls posts out of alignment. We regularly see hinge post welds that have sheared clean through.

Heat-Warped Frames and Cracked Welds

When the frame warps, the gate leaf sags. The latch stops lining up with the strike plate. The safety photocell beam goes out of alignment and the operator times out trying to close. We can often correct moderate warp by squaring the post and re-hanging the leaf with sag correction, then re-welding the hinge points. If the steel has cracked through at the post, we cut out the damaged section and weld in new steel before it fatigues further.

What Welding Work Costs Here

A basic hinge re-weld on a residential swing gate in North Las Vegas typically runs $180 to $320. Repairing a cracked or warped gate frame starts around $260 and can reach $600 on a long double-leaf gate. You’ll see the exact dollar figure in writing before we strike an arc.

Commercial Gate Repair in North Las Vegas

Commercial gate repair in North Las Vegas is a different animal from residential work. These are slide gates on the rack-and-pinion track at apartment complexes and warehouses along Craig Road, or heavy cantilever gates at storage yards near the I-15 industrial corridor. They cycle far more than a home gate, and the wind-blown dust and sand off the desert floor packs into the rack teeth and roller carriages until the gate jumps and stalls.

Slide Gate Tracks and Loop Detectors

The most common commercial service call we see is a slide gate that starts, stutters, and stops, then the loop detector times out and the gate reverses. That’s almost always dust and grit packed into the rack teeth or a worn drive sprocket. We remove the debris, inspect the chain or belt for stretch, and realign the track so the gate rolls true. Typical commercial slide gate service in North Las Vegas runs $240 to $480, with heavier structural work priced after inspection.

Operators That Cycle Hard

Commercial operators in North Las Vegas bake inside metal enclosures on asphalt lots where ambient air hits 112°F and the box interior climbs higher. Control boards fail, capacitors swell, and limit switches drift. We service LiftMaster and FAAC commercial operators most often. If the board is obsolete and the motor is still sound, we recommend a retrofit kit before the whole operator gets replaced unnecessarily.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Las Vegas

We’re factory-trained on the equipment North Las Vegas homeowners actually have bolted to their posts: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear are the ones we see most. When a 25-year-old LiftMaster board burns out on a Clayton Street swing gate, we can usually source the retrofit same week because we keep common parts staged locally. Same thing for FAAC hydraulic operators on the newer ornamental gates in the Aliante area. No guessing, no generic replacements that sort of fit.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in North Las Vegas Homes

• Solar battery failure in under two years. Homes northeast of I-15 often retrofitted grid-tied openers to solar, but the controller boxes sit on west-facing block walls and cook in 110°F heat. The AGM or lithium batteries degrade fast, and the opener dies without warning, usually at dusk.
• Heat-warped steel swing gates. Older steel gates from the ’60s through the ’80s expand and contract in the summer heat, eventually warping at the hinge post and snapping welds. The gate sags, the latch misses, and the safety photocell never aligns.
• Dust-clogged slide gate tracks. Wind-blown sand off the desert floor works its way into the rack and pinion teeth, causing the gate to jump and stall until the loop detector times out. This is constant in the Craig Road corridor and near open lots.
• Brittle plastic components in operators. Intense UV and heat make plastic gears, limit cams, and housing clips brittle. They crack and fail years before the motor itself wears out. Replacing just the failed plastic part usually costs a fraction of a full operator replacement.

The Heat and Dust Problem North Las Vegas Throws at Your Gate

North Las Vegas sits northeast of the Strip and gets the full brunt of summer heat without the same light breeze patterns that some parts of the valley catch. Summers regularly exceed 110°F with heavy UV exposure. Black steel gates with west exposure absorb heat all afternoon and stay hot after sundown. Over decades, the metal expands and contracts enough to warp frames and fatigue welds. That’s why some North Las Vegas gates need welding work twice before an identical gate in a shadier part of Henderson needs it once.

Wind-blown dust is the second problem. Open desert to the north and east sends fine alkaline dust into every gap and joint. It packs into slide gate racks, grinds against roller carriages, and coats electrical connections inside operator boxes. A gate that worked in April can be jumping and stalling by August, not because anything broke, but because the tracks need cleaning and the motor is straining against grit. We build that into the repair routine here: clear the debris, check the strain, and only then replace parts if they actually failed.

In the pre-1980s ranch neighborhoods northeast of I-15, grid-tied gate operators were often retrofitted to solar, but the extreme heat plus alkaline dust cuts those solar-charged batteries to two years or less. That’s a failure pattern rarely seen in Las Vegas proper, where more gates remain hardwired. When a solar gate dies in North Las Vegas, the first thing we check is the battery under the control box. Nine times out of ten it’s cooked.

Older Gates, Obsolete Openers, and What’s Worth Saving

North Las Vegas has a lot of original steel gates and operators installed when the house was built. A gate hung in 1974 looks simple, but it predates modern entrapment protection. The operator may run on a control board that hasn’t been manufactured in twenty years. The hinges have forty seasons of heat on them. The question is always the same: retrofit or replace?

Honest answer: the steel frame is usually worth saving. Steel doesn’t wear out the way plastic components do. If the frame is warped, we can often square it and re-weld the hinge points for a few hundred dollars. The opener is a different story. If the control board is burned and the brand no longer manufactures a drop-in replacement, you’ll pay more to chase an obsolete board than to install a modern heat-rated retrofit. We’ll tell you which is cheaper before you spend anything.

We pulled a swing gate at a home on Clayton Street near Cheyenne where the original steel had heat-warped enough to crack the hinge post weld. The gate operator, a 20-year-old LiftMaster with a burned control board, was still trying to move it. Our techs squared the post, re-hung the leaf with sag correction, and replaced the board with a heat-rated retrofit. Now the keypad entry actually closes the gate on the first try.

Modern retrofits include entrapment protection that your 1970s system never had: current-sensing motors that reverse on obstruction, and compatible photocell beams that align properly once the gate is squared. Retrofitting a 1970s steel swing gate with modern entrapment protection usually runs $380 to $650 depending on the operator and the state of the leaf.
