We know Ontario’s streets, its housing stock, and the failure patterns that repeat block by block. The team at Manor Gate Repair works here because this city has a specific set of gate problems tied to its wind exposure, soil, and building history. Nelson Pryce, Owner at Manor Gate Repair, has structured our service area around Ontario for a reason: the repair needs here are distinct, and they deserve a specialist who can see them coming.
Why Manor Gate Repair Is Ontario’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We built our reputation in Ontario by fixing what other companies replace. The homes here, especially in the 91762 and 91764 ZIPs, hold original 1960s and 1970s gates with frames, posts, and hardware worth saving. A generic contractor sees an old gate and proposes a full replacement. We see a hinge that needs reinforcement, a post that needs re-setting, and an operator that can be retuned. That distinction matters to Ontario homeowners, and it shows in the way they refer us to neighbors.
Our Gate Repair team serves Ontario from our Fontana base, which puts us close enough to reach most Ontario addresses within an hour of dispatch. For automated gate failures we’re often on site faster than that, because we know the Inland Empire’s traffic rhythm and plan Ontario runs before the 60/10 interchange backs up.
Homeowners and property managers across Ontario call us for one reason above all: we work on the brand you already have. Whether it’s a Viking operator on a 91761 warehouse slide gate or a Ghost Controls board on a 91762 driveway swing, our technicians diagnose the actual fault before recommending anything. The right fix, not the easy upsell.
Styles & brands we work with





Metal Gate Repair in Ontario
Metal gate repair in Ontario’s older neighborhoods usually involves steel or wrought-iron driveway gates that have outlasted their original footings. The work centers on sag correction, hinge reinforcement, and re-welding stress cracks. In the 91762 and 91764 corridors, we frequently re-set heaved posts that original 1960s builders set in shallow concrete. A typical metal gate repair in Ontario runs $220 – $550 depending on the extent of the post work and whether welding is needed. If the frame has pulled loose from its operator arm, the repair price climbs toward the top of that range because the gate must be re-aligned before the operator can work again.
Wrought-Iron Gate Repair
We repair original wrought-iron gates daily in Ontario. These gates often carry decorative scrollwork that complicates welding, but the frames themselves are repairable in almost every case. Our techs reinforce broken pickets, patch rust-through at the lower rail, and re-weld hinge barrels that have split under wind load.
Steel Frame & Hinge Work
Solid steel frames bend under Santa Ana wind load when the gate acts as a sail. We straighten them using controlled hydraulic pressure, then add gussets at the hinge points so the failure doesn’t recur. If your gate drags on the concrete after a wind event, the problem is usually the post, not the gate itself. We fix both.
Wood Gate Repair in Ontario
Wood gate repair in Ontario means dealing with the city’s hot, dry summers and the annual winter rain spells that expose rot at the base of posts. The most common callout is a wood driveway gate that has warped or pulled its hinges loose, leaving it sagging and incapable of latching. A typical wood gate repair in Ontario runs $180 – $400, with higher costs when we’re replacing a rotted post or reinforcing a section of frame. We quote the exact number before starting any work, and the price you approve is the price you pay.
Post Replacement & Reinforcement
Wood posts set directly into Ontario’s clay-heavy soil hold up fine for decades, until winter rains saturate the ground and rot the buried portion. Then the gate leans, the latch misses, and the operator strains against misalignment. We replace the post in concrete with proper drainage and then re-hang the gate to original spec. Your gate, restored to spec.
Sag & Warp Correction
Ontario’s summer heat draws moisture out of wood gates quickly, and the inevitable result is a top rail that curls or a gate leaf that twists. We correct sag with tension cables and adjustable hinge plates. In most cases we can save the existing gate without replacing a single board.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario
We service the brands Ontario homeowners and facility managers already rely on. That includes Viking operators on heavy slide gates, Ghost Controls systems common on residential driveway gates across the 91761 corridor, DoorKing units on apartment and HOA entrances, and Elite operators on commercial properties. Our techs maintain current diagnostic files for all nine major brands we carry: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. From diagnosis to installation, Manor Gate Repair is the automated gate specialist Ontario calls when a multi-brand repair outfit matters. We stock common boards, limit switches, and photo eyes for fast turnarounds on Ontario jobs, so we’re not stuck waiting on ground shipping from a distributor while your gate stays open.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Ontario Homes
- Wind-heaved posts in 91762 and 91764. Original 1960s gates often sit on posts buried only 18 to 24 inches in shallow concrete. Santa Ana winds rock the gate, the post shifts, and the leaf drags. We re-set the post at depth and reinforce the footing.
- Operator strain from misaligned gates. When a solid infill gate bends slightly in high wind, the operator arm has to push against the frame’s new geometry. The board overheats, the capacitor fails, or the limit switches lose their setting. We correct the gate first, then the operator.
- Rust and drainage issues at post bases. Ontario winter rains pool water at the base of steel and wood posts. The rust starts below grade and works upward. We cut out the affected section, sleeve or replace as needed, and seal the repair against the next rainy season.
- High-cycle wear on warehouse slide gates. Ontario’s 91761 logistics corridor runs gates harder than any residential neighborhood. Open-close cycles in the thousands per week wear out rollers, v-belts, and chain tensioners fast. We stock commercial-duty parts for those repairs and know the code requirements Ontario enforces on crash-rated barriers.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Ontario
Santa Ana winds push a solid infill gate like a sail, transferring hundreds of pounds of lateral load into the hinges and post footings. In Ontario’s 91762 and 91764 ZIPs, where original 1960s gates often sit on shallow concrete footings, this load causes posts to heave and gates to drag or bind. The fix is a deeper post set, proper concrete with drainage, and sometimes hinge reinforcement. Call (844) 703-6053 for a wind-damage assessment; estimates are free.
First, check that the outlet and breaker supplying the operator are live; then use the manual release lever located on the operator housing to move the gate by hand so you can secure your property. This lever disengages the motor from the gate drive, but do not attempt to open the operator case or touch any wiring yourself. If the board won’t reset after power returns, call us and we’ll run a diagnostic and replace the board, capacitor, or transformer on site.
Ontario’s 100°F summer days extract moisture from wood faster than the gate can acclimate, causing one side of the frame to shrink and the gate to twist. This warping pulls hinges out of alignment and prevents the latch from seating. We install adjustable tension cables and re-align the hinge line to correct the warp, or rebuild the affected frame section if the wood has cracked. Call (844) 703-6053 for an exact repair quote, free of charge.
Yes. Under UL 325 and California building code, automatic gate operators in Ontario must be equipped with entrapment protection devices: photo eyes or contact edges that reverse the gate when it hits an obstruction. This is a safety requirement, not an option. If your Ontario gate operator is missing entrapment protection or it has failed, call us before using the gate again, especially if children or pets are present.
Yes, we repair original 1960s wrought-iron gates in the 91764 ZIP regularly. Most of these gates need hinge reinforcement, rust repair at the lower rail, and post re-setting after decades of Santa Ana wind load. We restore the gate you already have rather than pushing a replacement. Call (844) 703-6053 and we’ll send a tech to assess your gate at no charge.
