AfterGate Company in White Plains, NY
A gate that won’t open or close in White Plains isn’t something to put off. It’s the only thing between your driveway and everyone else’s shortcut, and it’s exposed to weather that most gate hardware wasn’t designed for.

Every job gets a written price before we start, a background-checked technician in uniform, and a full-year written guarantee on repairs. Call (469) 530-2485 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why White Plains Homes Are Different
White Plains gate work runs into conditions you don’t see in the Bronx or Yonkers. Older properties in neighborhoods like Highlands and Gedney Farms tend to have driveway gates hanging on posts that have shifted over decades of freeze-thaw cycles. When the ground heaves, the gate doesn’t just sag; it binds against the latch, burns out limit switches, and tears up hinges that were never re-aligned. Newer subdivisions have their own pattern: gates installed quickly during construction with light-duty operators that were never sized for a double-leaf steel gate.
White Plains winters are the second thing. Salt, slush, and repeated thawing corrode circuit boards and photoelectric sensors faster than almost any other failure we see. Come spring, we regularly replace sensor housings that are packed with road salt. Summer brings different calls: storms knock out power and homeowners find their gate stuck closed because the manual release was never explained or the key was lost years ago. The practical answer in White Plains is regular hardware checks, not just calling when the gate has already failed.
Our Main White Plains Services
Most White Plains calls fall into three groups: a gate that won’t move, a gate that moves but the motor is failing, and a new gate to replace the old one. Each service has its own page with pricing, timelines, and details.
Gate Repair in White Plains
This is the call we get most: a gate that scrapes, sticks, or won’t close at all. Work starts with checking the post alignment and hinge wear before we touch the operator. On older White Plains properties, we see hinges that were oiled for years instead of replaced, and the metal has worn to the point where no adjustment will line the gate up properly. We carry hinge rebuild kits and latch hardware for most common gate styles, and we quote the written price before work begins. Full detail on Gate Repair in White Plains.
Gate Installation in White Plains
A new gate in White Plains means more than a panel and posts. We check the driveway grade, the prevailing wind load on a solid gate, and whether the existing operator can be reused or needs to be replaced with the new gate weight. Many White Plains driveways are narrower than homeowners realize, and a single gate hung on the wrong side creates a traffic problem every single morning. Installations are scheduled, measured, and quoted in writing. Details on Gate Installation in White Plains.
Gate Motor Repair in White Plains
When the motor runs but the gate doesn’t move, or it moves and reverses, the issue is usually in the operator. In White Plains, cold snaps expose weak capacitors and old control boards that have been failing slowly for months. We bench-test the motor, check the limit switch and loop detector, and replace components rather than pushing a full operator swap when it isn’t needed. The written guarantee covers the work for a full year. Full detail on Gate Motor Repair in White Plains.
