What Riverside Homeowners Say About Latch and Post Gate Repair Riverside
Reviews tell you what actually happens after the quote, after the repair, after the gate swings shut again. We don’t push for them and we don’t script them. What shows up in the words below comes from the same things we do on every job in Riverside: a written price before anything starts, shoe covers and drop cloths inside the house, and a photo of the clean-up before we head out. Here’s what neighbors across Riverside have said about calling us when a latch snapped, a post loosened, or an electric opener quit.
Recent Reviews
Our wooden driveway gate had sagged so badly it was dragging a groove into the concrete. The technician from Latch and Post showed up when he said he would, walked the whole gate line with me, and explained that the post on the hinge side had started leaning after years of Riverside summer heat drying out the soil. He gave me a written price to reset the post and reframe the latch side, and it matched the final invoice to the dollar. The gate closes with one finger now.

I called at 9:30 on a Saturday night because our electric gate would not budge and the car was stuck in the driveway. A live person picked up, not a machine. They talked me through checking the manual release so I could get the car out, then had a technician out Monday morning. The diagnostics on our FAAC board took about twenty minutes, and the fix was done that same visit. No upcharge for the weekend call, no mystery fees.

We had a Viking operator that would grind and stop halfway, usually when it was hottest in the afternoon. Cody explained that the Riverside heat swells the gate itself slightly and pushes the operator past its limit point, and that the fix was adjusting the travel limits and reinforcing the hinge weld. He showed me exactly what he was doing before he did it. The gate has cycled hundreds of times since and not missed once.
Alicia E. – Mission Grove
The latch on our side gate had been loose for months, and I’d been ignoring it. Latch and Post got scheduled fast, and the technician found that the strike plate screws had stripped out completely. He filled and redrilled the holes, replaced the latch with a heavier-duty model, and added a reinforcement plate to the post so it wouldn’t happen again. He had shoe covers on before he stepped through the house to reach the back gate, and he left a photo of the swept area when he finished.

Our new Mighty Mule opener stopped responding to the remote after a power flicker during a Santa Ana wind night. The Latch and Post tech checked the control board, found the surge had taken out a relay, and had the replacement on the truck. What impressed me most was the written price before she touched a wire. I knew the number, she explained the warranty on the part, and the work was done in under an hour. Gate work you don’t have to second-guess.
Ernesto R. – Wood Streets
Alicia and I had a full gate and opener replacement done on our side yard. The old chain-drive was dead, and the post had cracked at the base. Latch and Post removed everything, set a new powder-coated steel post in concrete, hung a new gate, and installed a LiftMaster opener with new safety edges. They asked before moving our outdoor planters, laid drop cloths inside where they carried the doorbell wiring, and the cleanup photo was the last text we got before the final walkthrough. The whole job was priced before they started, and the final bill matched it.
