Wrightwood is a mountain community at roughly 6,000 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains, reachable only by winding canyon roads like Highway 2 and Highway 138. That changes everything about gate work here. A gate that works fine in a valley subdivision is a different animal on a steep, snow-buried Wrightwood driveway. We handle gate installation, repair, and electric gate work for mountain cabins, second homes, and custom rural properties throughout the 92397 ZIP code. Call (833) 320-4513 when a gate stops doing its job.
Why Wrightwood Homes Are Different
Most Wrightwood homes are mountain cabins, second homes, and scattered custom rural properties on large wooded lots. Many are older and owner-built, which means gates tend to be long rural driveway gates, rustic wood-and-metal designs, and hand-built or non-standard installations rather than uniform subdivision fencing. There is no single “Wrightwood standard” gate. Each job starts with figuring out what somebody built twenty or forty years ago and how the mountain has treated it since.
The climate does real work against gates here. Heavy winter snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and strong mountain winds warp wooden gates, freeze and seize metal hinges and operators, and heave gate posts out of alignment seasonally. Summer heat and dry conditions crack wood and stress electronics. A gate post set in concrete that was fine last fall can be leaning by March. We plan every Wrightwood installation and repair around that cycle, using hardware and mounting methods that hold up to it.
There is also a failure mode valley technicians rarely see: black bears and other mountain wildlife routinely climb on, push through, and damage gates and their openers here. Latches, hinges, and operator arms need wildlife-resistant reinforcement. A standard suburban gate latch is not built for a 300-pound bear leaning on it. We factor that into every Wrightwood job, whether it is a repair or a new installation.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Wrightwood Services
The two services Wrightwood homeowners call about most are gate repair and electric gate repair. Both are daily work for us in this area, and both have dedicated Wrightwood pages with pricing and local details.
Gate Repair in Wrightwood
Mountain conditions create repair patterns you do not see down the hill. Snow load bends gate frames, freeze-thaw cycles crack welds and heave posts, and wind works hinges loose over a single winter. We repair manual and automated gates across Wrightwood, from a sagging wooden driveway gate on a cabin lot to a heavy steel gate that no longer closes square. Wildlife damage often plays a role too. See Gate Repair in Wrightwood for a full breakdown of what we fix and what it costs.
Electric Gate Repair in Wrightwood
Electric gates at 6,000 feet deal with cold-weather battery drain, moisture in control boards, sensors buried or misaligned by snow, and operator arms forced past their limit when ice blocks the gate path. We diagnose and repair motors, control boards, loops, sensors, and access systems across all major brands. Wrightwood’s freeze-thaw cycle is hard on every component that carries current or moves. See Electric Gate Repair in Wrightwood for the full scope of electric work we do in this area.

Gate Installation in Wrightwood
Gate installation in Wrightwood means building something that survives real mountain conditions, not just a standard driveway gate dropped onto a suburban lot. Most new installations here are either replacements for older owner-built gates that have warped, cracked, or been damaged by wildlife, or first-time gates for rural properties that have never had one. The work has to account for steep terrain, snow depth, freeze-thaw ground movement, and animal pressure. We install both manual and automated systems, and every installation starts with a site visit to see what the land is actually doing before we order a single part. For a full look at our installation work, see Gate Installation.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your current gate no longer closes square after years of freeze-thaw heaving, or your long rural driveway has never had a gate and you want control over who drives up.
What it costs in Wrightwood
Standard driveway gate installation in Wrightwood typically ranges from $1,100 to $4,500 depending on gate size, material, and whether operators and access controls are included.
How we do it
We set posts deep enough to handle frost heave, hang the frame with clearance for snow and uneven ground, and build in wildlife-resistant latching from the start.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You are getting out of the car to open a manual gate in Wrightwood’s winter, or you want remote access for deliveries, renters, or a second home you do not visit every week.
What it costs in Wrightwood
Electric gate installation in Wrightwood typically runs from $2,750 to $5,700 when you include the operator, control board, and basic access components.
How we do it
We mount the operator with sealed connections rated for cold and moisture, run the power and control wiring, set safety edges and sensors, and program remotes and keypads before we leave.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your property needs hands-free entry and exit, or your existing gate is automatic only in the loosest sense and fails every time the temperature drops.
What it costs in Wrightwood
Full automatic gate systems in Wrightwood generally run from $2,800 to $6,100, with the final figure driven by operator type, gate weight, and the power run from your house or panel.
How we do it
We match an operator to your gate’s actual weight, install loops or photoelectric safety sensors, wire the control board, and test the full cycle in real conditions.
What Gate Installation Costs in Wrightwood
| Item | Typical range in Wrightwood |
|---|---|
| Standard driveway gate (manual) | $1,100 – $4,500 |
| Electric gate with operator and controls | $2,750 – $5,700 |
| Full automatic system with loops and safety edges | $2,800 – $6,100 |
Every estimate is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
How long does gate installation take in Wrightwood?
Most standard driveway gate installations take one to two days on site, though Wrightwood’s weather can shift that. Snow, frozen ground, or a delayed part coming up Highway 138 can add days. We schedule around the forecast and tell you the plan before we start.
Do I need a permit to install a gate in Wrightwood?
Permit requirements vary by property and scope. Simple repairs and like-for-like replacements rarely need one, but new electric installations and work near the road can. We help you sort out what applies to your specific Wrightwood property before any work begins.
Brands We Service in Wrightwood
We service LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators, among the nine major brands we carry experience with across residential and commercial systems. Wrightwood jobs usually mean parts come up the mountain on our truck, not in a second visit. See our brands for the full list of what we work on.

What pushes a Wrightwood price up is usually access and ground. A long unpaved driveway, a steep slope, or a post set in frozen ground takes longer and costs more than the same job on a flat valley lot. Wildlife reinforcement and snow-rated components also add a bit. Whatever the number is, we quote it before work starts and you approve it first.

FAQs About Gate Company in Wrightwood
We schedule Wrightwood calls most weekdays, and we batch mountain visits when possible so you are not paying a separate trip charge from the valley. Emergency calls depend on road conditions, especially in winter when Highway 2 and Highway 138 can close or require chains. Call (833) 320-4513 and we will give you a straight answer on timing.
Yes, that is most of Wrightwood. Steep, unpaved, and snow-buried driveways are standard here, not an exception, and we bring the truck and tools for it. Some jobs require a site walk before we quote, because the driveway itself affects what equipment we can get up it.
We regularly work on second homes and vacant cabins in Wrightwood. You do not need to be on site for most repairs or installations, as long as we can reach the gate and the power source. We can coordinate over the phone and send photos or a call summary when the work is done.
If your Wrightwood gate is stuck, sagging, frozen, or giving up under the snow, call (833) 320-4513. We will tell you what is actually wrong and what it costs to fix or replace it, before any work begins.

What Wrightwood Customers Say
"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
— Rosa Delgado"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."
