Gate installation in Orange usually means matching a new gate to a home built between the 1920s and 1970s, not bolting a generic metal frame to a stucco wall. Much of the work we see leans restoration: old wood and wrought-iron driveway gates in the Old Towne Historic District and surrounding streets, where the gate has to look like it belongs to the house. We build, repair, and automate gates that fit those older properties. Call (866) 569-6562 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Orange Homes Are Different
Orange’s housing stock runs older than most of the county. Pre-war bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes fill the Old Towne Historic District and the blocks around it, while 1950s and 1970s tract homes sit east of the Plaza. Gates on those properties are frequently the original wood or wrought iron, with rusty hinges, sagging posts, and latch hardware that has been adjusted so many times there is nothing left to adjust. Hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events dry out and warp wooden gates, crack welds on iron gates, and loosen posts in the region’s expansive clay soils during the dry season. Then winter rains swell the wood and shift the alignment, and a gate that closed fine in October drags on the concrete by January. In Old Towne specifically, gate repairs often trigger historic-preservation review: the City of Orange’s historic design standards mean a replacement gate in the Historic District must match the original style, material, and often the exact picket profile. We keep patterns and photos of common 1920s to 1940s gate styles on file so a replacement looks right the first time.

Our Main Orange Services
Most Orange homeowners call us for one of two things: a gate that will not swing or slide anymore, or an electric operator that stopped responding to the remote. Both are covered below, with dedicated pages for each service.
Gate Repair in Orange
A sagging wooden driveway gate in Orange is usually a post problem before it is a hinge problem. The clay soils here shrink in the dry season and shift when winter rains arrive, which works posts loose over enough seasons. We rebuild the post footing, re-hang the gate, and replace worn latch hardware so the gate swings without dragging. For wrought-iron gates, we grind out and reweld cracked joints that Santa Ana wind stress has opened up over the years. The full breakdown of mechanical repair work is on the Gate Repair in Orange page, including what a typical repair costs and how we handle historic properties.
Electric Gate Repair in Orange
When an electric gate in Orange stops responding, the problem is usually the control board, a failed safety sensor, or a motor that has burned out from cycling against a misaligned gate. We diagnose the operator by brand, not by trial and error: we work on LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, and five other major product lines, so the first visit is a real diagnosis rather than a parts guess. The Electric Gate Repair in Orange page covers control boards, safety loops, remote access, and motor replacement in detail.
Gate Installation in Orange
Gate installation in Orange is shaped by the age of the homes. In Old Towne and the Historic District, a new driveway gate often needs to match the original picket profile, material, and finish well enough to pass historic review. East of the Plaza, where 1950s and 1970s tract homes are more common, the job is usually about replacing a rotted wooden gate with something that holds up better in the dry heat and Santa Ana winds. We handle both ends of that spectrum, plus full automation for homeowners who want the gate to open from the car. See our Gate Installation page for the complete scope.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want to open the driveway gate from inside the car instead of getting out, or a manual gate now needs to secure the property after a change in how the driveway is used.
What it costs in Orange
Automatic gate installation in Orange typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 for a complete single driveway gate with operator, depending on the gate size, material, and access control.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening, check the post footings and power access, then build or install the gate and mount the operator with safety sensors and remote controls, testing the full cycle before we leave.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is rotted, rusted through, sagging past adjustment, or no longer matches the home after a renovation or landscape change.
What it costs in Orange
A new manual driveway gate in Orange typically falls between $2,000 and $6,500 installed, with wood and iron at the higher end when custom fabrication is required.
How we do it
We set new posts to proper footing depth, build or order the gate to the driveway width, hang it with hardware sized for the weight, and adjust the latch so it closes cleanly without dragging.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The driveway is too short or too sloped for a swing gate, or you need a gate that slides across the opening instead of arcing into the yard.
What it costs in Orange
Sliding gate installation in Orange typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 installed, with the final price set by gate width, track type, and whether an operator is added.
How we do it
We install the track or cantilever system, set the posts, build the gate frame, and align the rollers so the gate moves smoothly without binding, then add the operator if the job includes automation.

Does Orange require a permit for a new driveway gate?
Permit requirements vary by gate size, location, and whether the property is in the Old Towne Historic District. Ask the City of Orange building department before work starts. We can tell you what to ask based on the gate type.
Can you match my existing 1920s gate style?
Yes. We keep patterns and photos of common 1920s to 1940s gate styles from the Old Towne area on file, so a replacement gate matches the original picket profile, material, and finish the historic standards require.
Brands We Service in Orange
We work on LiftMaster, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operator systems, plus five other major gate brands. That means we diagnose by the actual control board in your unit, not by guessing around it. We stock common boards, sensors, and remote parts for faster turnaround on Orange jobs.

What Orange Customers Say
"Solar panel on our remote gate wasn't keeping the battery up through the winter. He repositioned it, replaced the battery, and explained the math on why the old placement was never going to work."
- Jason Lawson"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."
- Robert Novak"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Sofia Delgado
