AfterGate Company in Burlingame, CA
Portcullis Gate Repair handles the gate problems that Burlingame’s older homes and bay-side climate create: root-heaved posts, salt-corroded hinges, and automation that quits when the fog rolls in. We give every Burlingame customer a written price before any work starts, and every repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a gate won’t latch, sags, or stops responding to the opener, call (940) 412-7340 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
Burlingame isn’t like inland Peninsula cities when it comes to gates. Mature Deodar cedars and liquidambars, the trees that give this city its canopy, send roots under concrete gate footings and lift them slowly out of plumb. We routinely see posts in the Easton Addition and Burlingame Park flats tilted a full inch or more, which means a gate that looks like it needs a hinge adjustment actually needs its footing dug out and reset.
Add the daily marine layer off San Francisco Bay and the salt-laden fog does real work on exposed hardware. Hinges seize, latches rust, and automatic operators corrode faster here than they do five miles inland. Homes built from the 1920s through the 1950s in Burlingame Terrace and the Easton Addition still carry original wrought iron gates that are now 60 to 90 years old. The job is rarely a simple part swap; it’s often foundation correction and metal restoration in the same visit.
Our Main Burlingame Services
Most Burlingame calls fall into three categories: a gate that won’t open or latch, a new gate that fits an older property’s scale and style, and an electric operator that has stopped responding. Each has its own Burlingame page with details and pricing.
Gate Repair in Burlingame
A sagging or stuck gate on a Burlingame home is usually one of three things: a root-shifted post, a corroded hinge, or a latch that the salt air has frozen. We diagnose it on site, give you the price in writing, and typically have the gate working the same day. On older Spanish Colonial or Tudor properties, we match the existing ironwork so the repair doesn’t look like an afterthought. See Gate Repair in Burlingame for full details.
Gate Installation in Burlingame
New gates in Burlingame need to handle two local realities: high property standards and tree roots that will test any new footing. We size footings for the root pressure common in the Easton Addition and Burlingame Terrace, and we build or order gates that match the period architecture rather than fighting it. Every installation starts with a free measure and a written price. See Gate Installation in Burlingame for what’s included.
Electric Gate Repair in Burlingame
When an automated gate stops responding, Burlingame’s fog is often part of the story. Moisture works into control boards, limit switches, and wiring connections, and the gate either won’t move at all or reverses for no clear reason. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, and our technicians arrive knowing the system you have. See Electric Gate Repair in Burlingame for troubleshooting specifics and pricing.

What Burlingame Customers Say
"Gate was dragging and screeching across the driveway. I figured I'd need a whole new setup. He adjusted the track and rollers and it was a fraction of what I expected. Honest work."
- Omar Haddad"Our intercom and gate motor both quit. They fixed the whole system in one visit and explained the warranty clearly. On time, polite, and tidy. Can't ask for more."
- Yvette Marchetti"Good repair on a sagging gate and a new hinge welded on. Took them a couple days to get the part in, but they told me that up front and it's been solid since."
