Gate installation in Palm Beach means working with historic estates, coral-stone piers, and ornamental iron that’s been standing since the 1920s. Whether you’re replacing a rusted swing gate on Via Mizner or adding a sliding driveway gate to a new Mediterranean Revival build, the job here is never just bolting on hardware. Salt air, hurricane wind loads, and the Architectural Commission all shape what gets installed and how. We’re Archway Gate Repair, and we handle gate installation across Palm Beach with a repair-first eye, so the gate we put in is the gate that actually holds up. Call (855) 360-5306 for a free measure and a written quote before any work starts.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Most driveway gates in Palm Beach are original architectural features, not afterthoughts. The housing stock runs heavily to Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Mizner-era estates built between the 1910s and 1930s, with ornate wrought iron, coral stone, and solid wood gates that were designed as part of the property’s street presence. When one of those gates fails, you cannot simply swap in off-the-shelf hardware from a big-box store. The proportions, the hinge style, the swing clearance, even the patina all matter. Property owners regularly find that a century-old coral-stone gate pier crumbles the moment a new operator is anchored into it, turning what looked like a simple installation into a masonry restoration project first.
Salt-laden ocean air and year-round humidity accelerate corrosion on iron gates and seize operators and hinges faster than inland properties. Add hurricane-season wind loads, and any gate system in the 33480 ZIP needs to be engineered for storm loading, not just everyday use. Track and cantilever systems in particular have to be spec’d for 150+ mph design wind requirements. Then there’s the Architectural Commission, which reviews gate changes in the town’s landmark districts. Getting an installation approved often means matching period fabrication, not just meeting code. We’ve worked through enough of those reviews to know what the board looks for before we ever submit.
The practical upshot: Palm Beach gate work is slower, more precise, and more material-sensitive than work in West Palm Beach or Mangonia Park. That’s not a problem. It’s just the job.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most calls we get in Palm Beach start with one of two problems: a gate that stopped moving, or an electric system that moves when it shouldn’t. Here’s what each involves.
Gate Repair in Palm Beach
Mechanical gate repair in Palm Beach usually comes down to hinges, rollers, tracks, or the gate itself sagging out of square. On a Mizner-era wrought-iron swing gate, the hinges are often original, and replacing them means matching the period hardware or fabricating something that looks like it belongs. Salt corrosion and rust are constant factors, especially on ocean-side properties. We diagnose the gate in place, quote the repair before we start, and fix it in kind rather than convincing you to replace what’s worth saving. That’s the whole point of a repair-first approach. See the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Palm Beach page.
Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach
When a Palm Beach automated gate won’t open, won’t close, or reverses mid-cycle, the cause is usually the motor, the control board, a safety loop, or the wiring between them. On estates near the ocean, corrosion in the control housing and ground loops is common because salt air gets everywhere. We work on the brand already on your property, so diagnosis is faster and we’re not guessing at unfamiliar systems. Electric gate repair is a core specialty for us, not a referral out to a third party. Find specifics, including what we stock, on the Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach page.

Gate Installation in Palm Beach
Gate installation in Palm Beach is less about choosing a gate from a catalog and more about engineering a system that fits a specific property: the width of the drive on a South Ocean Boulevard estate, the condition of coral-stone piers on a Via Mizner property, and the wind load a new sliding gate has to carry through hurricane season. We install new gates with the same repair-first mindset we bring to service calls, which means the hardware, operators, and safety edges get specified for how the gate will actually be used, not just how it looks on day one. For a full walkthrough of what’s included, see our Gate Installation page. Every installation is quoted in writing before we order parts or begin work.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a manual gate on a property that now needs controlled access, or an old operator that no longer meets current safety-loop requirements.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Automatic gate installation in Palm Beach typically runs from $3,800 to $9,500 depending on operator brand, gate weight, and safety-edge configuration.
How we do it
We measure the gate and piers, spec the operator based on duty cycle and gate weight, install new safety loops and edges, then program the limits and force settings on site.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your current driveway gate is rusted through, sagging beyond adjustment, or too narrow for modern vehicles, and you want a replacement that matches the property’s architecture.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Driveway gate installation in Palm Beach generally runs from $3,200 to $12,000 depending on whether it’s a swing or sliding gate, the material, and the operator package.
How we do it
We remove the old gate cleanly, set new posts or reinforce existing piers, hang the new gate to swing or slide properly, then mount and tune the operator and safety edges.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes or has limited swing clearance, and a cantilever or track sliding gate would be the better layout for the site.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Sliding gate installation in Palm Beach typically runs from $4,500 to $14,000 depending on track length, cantilever hardware, gate material, and storm-load requirements.
How we do it
We set the track or cantilever posts, hang the gate with proper roller clearance, align the receiver post, and install the operator with full travel limits and safety loops.

Do I need Architectural Commission approval for a new gate in Palm Beach?
Yes, in most cases. If your property is in a Palm Beach landmark district, any change to a gate’s design, material, or placement requires review. We prepare submittals that match period fabrication, which speeds the process. Call (855) 360-5306 to start.
Can you install a gate that matches my 1920s wrought iron?
Almost always. We work with fabricators who reproduce historic hinge styles, scrollwork, and picket profiles, and we match the finish to the existing patina. The quote includes the fabrication and the installation as one line item.
Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We work on the brand already on your property. In Palm Beach that most often means Elite and LiftMaster operators on estate gates, Mighty Mule on smaller residential drives, and FAAC on commercial and long-duty systems. We diagnose by brand, not by trial and error, which keeps labor time down and parts correct the first time. See our brands for the full list.

What Palm Beach Customers Say
"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
— Ernesto Flores"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
— Roger Ziegler"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
