We’re San Diego Gate Company, and we install, repair, and automate gates across 92373, 92374, and 92375. From a broken hinge on a Craftsman-era driveway gate to a full electric sliding gate on a hillside property, one call covers it. Call (877) 517-5469 for a free estimate.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands isn’t a flatland tract suburb. The historic core around downtown and the old orange-grove estates holds early-1900s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes whose original wrought-iron and wood gates predate automation by decades. Those gates hang from century-old brick and stone pillars, not fresh concrete footings, so repair work often means anchoring into masonry that’s been standing since before the 1910s. The hillside and canyon-edge properties add another layer: grade changes, wind exposure, and soil movement put stress on hinges and posts that flat lots never see. On the east side in 92374, mid-century and 1980s subdivisions have lighter aluminum and steel gates, but the heat still warps frames and bakes finish off iron. Santa Ana winds push gates out of plumb, and the dry summer heat cooks opener electronics inside control boxes. Every Redlands job has to account for what’s holding the gate up and what the weather’s doing to it, which is why we send gate specialists, not generalists.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Redlands Services
Redlands homeowners call us most about two things: gates that won’t swing or slide properly, and electric operators that have stopped responding. Both are covered below.
Gate Repair in Redlands
Most repair calls in Redlands start with a gate that’s dragging, sagging, or refusing to latch. On the historic streets around the orange-grove estates, that usually means rusted hinges, rotted wood posts, or a pillar that’s shifted over the decades. We diagnose the real problem without upselling you a new system when a repair will do, whether it’s a weld, a new hinge set, or re-anchoring hardware into old brick. See the full scope at Gate Repair in Redlands.
Electric Gate Repair in Redlands
When an automated gate stops opening, the cause is usually the operator, the safety sensors, or the power supply. Redlands heat shortens the life of control boards and batteries, and Santa Ana wind events knock sensors out of alignment. Our technicians work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems, so we can fix what you have rather than force a replacement. Details are on Electric Gate Repair in Redlands.

Gate Installation in Redlands
Gate installation in Redlands typically runs $1,400 to $7,800 depending on material, automation, and site conditions, and most residential installs take one to three days once materials are on site. For the historic district especially, installation isn’t just hanging a gate; it’s anchoring new hardware into masonry pillars that have outlasted three generations of homeowners. We quote the full price before any work starts. For the complete scope of what we install, see Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re getting out of the car to open the gate every time, or the old manual gate has become a burden for anyone with mobility limits.
What it costs in Redlands
Automatic gate installation in Redlands typically runs $2,500 to $7,800, with $3,500 to $6,500 covering most double-swing driveway systems with a new operator and safety sensors.
How we do it
We measure the opening and pillar condition, select an operator rated for the gate’s weight and width, mount the arm and brackets, run power, install photo-eye safety sensors, and test the full open-close cycle under obstruction conditions.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing gate is rotted through at the bottom rail, the posts have shifted past repair, or there’s no gate at all on a driveway that needs security or privacy.
What it costs in Redlands
Driveway gate installation in Redlands runs $1,400 to $7,800, with a simple single-swing steel gate starting near the low end and an automated double gate on a hillside lot reaching the high end.
How we do it
We set or reinforce the posts, hang the gate with adjustable hinges, align the latch and drop rod, then adjust clearances so the gate swings true through the full arc without binding against the drive slope.
What Gate Installation Costs in Redlands
| Item | Typical range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Single swing gate, manual | $1,400 – $3,200 |
| Double swing gate, manual | $2,200 – $5,000 |
| Automatic gate system with operator | $3,500 – $7,800 |
How long does gate installation take in Redlands?
Most Redlands installations take one to three days on site once materials arrive. Custom iron or wood gates add lead time for fabrication, often two to four weeks before install day.
Do you handle the power run and safety sensors?
Yes. We run the power feed to the operator, install UL-listed photo-eye sensors, and set force limits so the gate reverses on contact. Permits are the owner’s responsibility; we coordinate with your city inspector if needed. Call (877) 517-5469 for an exact quote.
Brands We Service in Redlands
We work on virtually every major gate brand, including yours. Our techs carry parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems among others, so many Redlands repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment. See our brands for the full list.

What Redlands Customers Say
"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."
— Roger Ackerman"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."
— Rachel Vaughn"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."
— Craig Ziegler
