Call (855) 942-4867

We work on the brand you have. LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule. From the motor to the control board, our Electric Gate Repair team handles the full electrical and mechanical side of automatic gate systems. We’re a dedicated gate company, not a general handyman, and that matters when a 1950s swing gate on an alley-access lot in 91766 starts binding at the hinge post.

Pomona’s Older Gates Need a Specialist, Not a Generalist

Pomona’s housing stock creates a specific kind of gate repair workload. The core of the city, the 91766 and 91767 ZIPs, is full of 1920s through 1950s bungalows and early postwar tract homes with narrow driveways, detached garages, and alley access. Many of those properties still have original wrought-iron pedestrian gates whose hinges were brazed and re-welded multiple times over the decades. The outer ZIPs, 91768 and 91769, are heavier on 1980s to 2000s stucco tract homes with automatic sliding gates and double-swing driveways. The problems differ from one side of Pomona to the other, and a repair approach that works on a newer slide gate won’t do anything for a patched iron swing gate on Holt or Mission.

Because so many Pomona properties are renter-occupied or absentee-owned, we’re frequently dispatched to bring an aging, never-upgraded gate up to current safety standards on a fixed budget rather than sell a full replacement. Landlords and property managers around Pomona don’t want a sales pitch. They want the gate working, compliant, and keep the original ironwork when it’s still sound. That’s the job we do.

Key Takeaways for Pomona Gate Owners

• Older Pomona gates often need retrofit work, not replacement, especially in 91766 and 91767.
• Control boards on legacy LiftMaster, FAAC, and Linear operators fail in predictable ways and can often be swapped for modern boards with safety inputs.
• Expansive clay soil under Pomona shifts gate posts after winter rains, throwing slide gates out of rack and pinion alignment.
• We service nine automation brands, from DIY-grade Mighty Mule to commercial DoorKing and Viking operators.

Why Riverside Gate Company Is Pomona’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company

Pomona homeowners and property managers call us because we know exactly what’s behind the gate stop, before we ever arrive. On a Holt-area street in 91767, we were called to a 1950s wrought-iron swing gate whose LiftMaster operator had stopped reversing after the original control board failed. The hinge post had been repeatedly brazed and was pulling out of expansive clay soil. We corrected the sag at the post footing, replaced the obsolete board, and installed a working safety photocell pair before the gate would cycle. The owner had been quoted a full replacement elsewhere. Retrofitting the post and operator kept the original ironwork and cost far less.

That’s the difference between a gate specialist and a general repair service. We carry parts and knowledge specific to gate automation. We don’t upsell unrelated services, and we don’t guess at control boards we’ve never seen before. We work on the brand you have, whether it’s a 20-year-old Linear swing operator in 91767 or a fairly new Ghost Controls opener on a stucco home in 91768.

Neil Dravecky leads Riverside Gate Company with a simple rule: diagnose first, quote second, and never tell a Pomona customer their gate is beyond repair until we’ve actually checked the post footings, the operator, and the control board. Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. Estimates are free.

Gate Access Control in Pomona

Gate access control in Pomona runs $350 to $900 for a typical single-entry keypad or card reader installation tied to an existing automatic gate, depending on whether we’re wiring into an older swing operator or a newer slide gate with an onboard control board. Landlords, property managers, and Pomona homeowners with alley-access gates need reliable access control because tenants change, keys get copied, and a keypad with rolling codes is the cheapest way to stop that. On older 1950s iron gates in 91766 and 91767, the access control job usually means retrofitting the keypad wiring alongside a board upgrade, because the original operator had no provision for an external keypad at all.

Retrofit Access Control on Legacy Gates

Pomona’s older swing gates frequently have operators that predate modern access control. Retrofitting a keypad or card reader onto a 1950s wrought-iron pedestrian gate usually means adding a receiver, upgrading the control board, and running low-voltage wire through the gate post. We handle the entire retrofit without replacing the gate itself.

Keypads, Remotes, and Phone-Based Entry

Pomona property owners can choose from keypad entry, remote controls, or phone-based systems that open the gate from a mobile app. For rental properties in 91766 and 91767, a keypad with changeable codes is the most practical option. For gated commercial lots near Holt or Mission, a card reader tied to a DoorKing or Viking operator gives you an audit trail of who came through.

Commercial Gate Operator in Pomona

Commercial gate operator repair in Pomona runs $250 to $1,200 depending on whether the fault is a limit switch, a failed capacitor, a burned control board, or a degraded motor on a slide or barrier arm gate operator. Pomona’s commercial properties along Mission, Holt, and the industrial corridors near the 60 and 71 freeways rely on slide gates and barrier arms to control traffic, and when an operator fails, security doesn’t wait. We service FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, Viking, and Linear commercial operators, including older units that general contractors won’t touch.

Slide Gate Operators and Barrier Arms

Pomona commercial lots mostly use slide gate operators and barrier arms. The most common failure we see on Pomona slide gates is rack and pinion misalignment after the winter rains soften the clay soil under the gate track. We correct the post alignment, reset the rack, and test the entrapment protection before we call the job done.

Commercial Access Integration and Repair

Commercial operators in Pomona are often tied into access control systems, fire lane releases, and traffic loops. We repair the operator itself and coordinate with the access control wiring already on site. We stock common replacement parts for FAAC, BFT, and DoorKing commercial operators so Pomona businesses aren’t waiting on a shipped part while the gate stays open.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona

We work on the brand you have, and in Pomona we see a lot of legacy LiftMaster swing operators, older Linear units, and commercial Viking and Ghost Controls systems on newer properties. Because we’re gate-exclusive, we carry boards, limits, and safety edges for these brands and can usually have your Pomona gate cycling the same day we arrive, without waiting for a parts truck from out of state. Repair or replace, we handle both. From the motor to the control board, we stock the parts Pomona’s older gates need.

Common Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Pomona Homes

• Obsolete control boards on legacy operators. Many Pomona swing gates still run on LiftMaster, FAAC, or Linear boards that are no longer manufactured and won’t accept modern safety photocells, so the gate either stops responding or won’t reverse when it should.
• Brazed-and-re-welded hinges masking a failed hinge post. On original 1950s wrought-iron gates in 91766 and 91767, previous repairs often covered up a post that’s rusting out or pulling loose from the soil. We undo the patch, correct the post, and only then touch the operator.
• Gate posts shifting in expansive clay soil. Pomona’s winter rains cause the clay under the post footings to swell and contract, throwing slide gates out of rack alignment and making swing gates bind at the latch. This is especially common on older alley-access lots.
• Non-working safety sensors and entrapment protection. Many older Pomona gates either have no photocells at all or have sensors that were bypassed years ago. A gate that won’t reverse when someone is in the path is a code violation, and a liability.
