Kensington Gate Repair installs, repairs, and maintains gates throughout Pomona, California. Our work here centers on one reality: Pomona’s housing stock was built across three very different eras, and each era put a different kind of gate in the ground. The pre-war Craftsman homes near Lincoln Park still carry original wrought-iron pedestrian gates. The mid-century ranch tracts in 91766 and 91767 run automatic driveway gates across wide lots. And in every ZIP we serve, the same Santa Ana wind corridor that dries out stucco and cracks pavement also warps wood frames and fatigues gate operators. If your gate in Pomona needs work, call (833) 320-4513 and we’ll tell you what’s wrong and what it costs before any work starts.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the eastern edge of the San Gabriel Valley, and the geography shapes every gate we service here. Summer temperatures routinely pass 100 degrees, and the semi-arid climate pulls moisture from wood gates until they split at the joints. Add the gusty Santa Ana winds that sweep through from the canyons each fall, and you get a pattern we see in Pomona more than almost anywhere else in the region: driveway gate operators that start failing every October and November. The wind pushes hard against wide gate leaves, the operator strains against the load, and the limit switches and clutches burn out faster than they would in a milder climate.
The housing stock adds another layer. Around downtown Pomona and the Lincoln Park neighborhood, the Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows from the 1900s through the 1930s often still have their original ornamental iron pedestrian gates. Those gates were built well, but after ninety or a hundred years the hinges have been painted so many times they bind, the post footings have shifted in the expansive soil, and the gate no longer swings true. In the tract and ranch neighborhoods to the east, the picture flips: 1950s and 1970s homes with wide driveways and sliding or swing automatic vehicle gates. Those operators are the ones stressed hardest by the wind, and by the time we’re called, the motor usually isn’t dead. It’s out of adjustment, or the chain has stretched, or the safety sensor has drifted out of alignment and the gate reverses for no reason.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most calls we get from Pomona homeowners and property managers fall into two categories: gates that need repair, and electric gates that need repair. Here’s what each involves here.
Gate Repair in Pomona
Manual and automatic gate repair covers sagging hinges, split welds, warped wood frames, binding latch hardware, and rusted posts that no longer hold alignment. In Pomona’s dry heat, wood gates crack and pull away from their hinge plates. On older iron gates near the historic core, decades of repainting have buried the original hardware and frozen the hinge pins. We cut out the rot, square the frame, re-weld or replace the hardware, and set the gate so it swings clean again. Read the full breakdown of what we fix and what it costs on our Gate Repair in Pomona page.
Electric Gate Repair in Pomona
Electric gate repair is a different discipline. Motors, control boards, loop detectors, safety sensors, remotes, keypads, and the wiring that connects them all degrade differently than the gate itself. Pomona’s Santa Ana winds are the usual trigger: the gate leaf catches a gust, the operator works harder, the clutch slips, and the limit switches lose their reference points. Then the gate opens halfway, reverses unexpectedly, or refuses to close. Our Electric Gate Repair in Pomona page lists exactly what we diagnose and the typical repair ranges.

Gate Installation in Pomona
Gate installation in Pomona is rarely a drop-in replacement. The old post footings near the historic core were poured for lighter ornamental gates, and the eastern ranch lots need operators sized for wide, wind-loaded leaves. Kensington Gate Repair handles the full build: new posts, gate fabrication, operator mounting, safety edges, and the wiring run. We work on virtually every major gate brand, but our recommendation is driven by what fits your specific lot, your driveway width, and your exposure to the wind, not by what’s sitting in a warehouse. A new gate is a measured, quoted job with a written price agreed before we order a single part. For a free measure and a detailed written estimate, call (833) 320-4513. You can also see the full scope of our Gate Installation work here.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your new or existing gate needs automation when you’re still opening it by hand, or when the old operator is so unreliable that you’ve stopped trusting it to close and hold.
What it costs in Pomona
Automatic gate installation in Pomona typically runs $1,800 to $2,800 for the operator and controls, including a Freewave remote control where selected.
How we do it
We measure the gate leaf and driveway, mount the operator and bracket kit, run the power and control wiring, install safety edges and photo eyes, then program the limits and test the full cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your old driveway gate sags, binds, or no longer matches the way you use the property, or you’re adding a gate to an east Pomona lot where none was installed originally.
What it costs in Pomona
Driveway gate installation in Pomona typically falls between $1,800 and $4,500, with the spread driven by gate material, width, and whether we’re running new underground power.
How we do it
We pull the old gate and posts, set new posts in concrete with proper footings, fabricate and hang the new gate, then level and align it until it swings or slides without resistance.

Will the price change after you start in Pomona?
No. We quote the full job after measuring your gate and lot, and that written price is agreed before any work begins. If we find a buried obstruction or bad footing during the dig, we stop and re-quote before proceeding.
Do you handle the power run for an automatic gate in Pomona?
Yes. We run the low-voltage and line-voltage wiring from your panel to the gate, including underground conduit work. No electrician is needed, and the full electrical portion is included in the written quote.

What Pomona Customers Say
"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."
— Gilbert Torres"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."
— Marisol Hernandez"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
— Ramon Salazar
