Gate installation in Wrightwood means engineering for elevation, snow, and mountain wind, not just setting posts in flat suburban soil. Most homes here are older mountain cabins or mid-century builds on sloped, gravel or dirt drives, so a new gate has to hold square through freeze-thaw cycles and stand up to winter plow berms. Manor Gate Repair has served Wrightwood since 2014, and we quote every job, from a simple ranch-style swing gate to a full automated driveway system, before any work starts. Call (844) 703-6053 for a free estimate.
Why Wrightwood Homes Are Different
At roughly 6,000 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains, Wrightwood gates live a harder life than anything down the hill. Real snowfall means plowed berms pile against gate leaves, and frozen gravel drives heave posts out of plumb every spring. The freeze-thaw cycle works on every bolt, hinge, and weld, while strong mountain wind twists lighter tube-steel frames and racks wooden gates until they bind at the latch. Houses here are a mix of older cabins and mid-century builds, many on sloped lots with dirt or gravel drives, so gates are often wood, ranch-style, or custom iron swings that need reinforcement and regular swing adjustment rather than simple replacement.
Wildfire hardening adds another layer. Many Wrightwood property owners are clearing combustible fencing and replacing it with gates that block vehicles without adding more fuel close to the home. That changes material choices: powder-coated steel and aluminum get the nod over untreated timber, and operators need weather sealing rated for sub-freezing starts. Permits are handled through San Bernardino County, and any gate on a county-maintained road needs to respect setback and sight-line rules. We account for all of that before we dig a single post hole.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Wrightwood Services
Wrightwood homeowners call us most about two things: a gate that has stopped swinging or sliding the way it should, and an opener or control board that has quit in cold weather. Both are covered below, with dedicated Wrightwood pages for the full detail.
Gate Repair in Wrightwood
A sagging wooden gate or a steel frame that has been twisted by mountain wind usually needs more than a hinge tightening. In Wrightwood, freeze-thaw and plow berms mean we see posts out of plumb, latch misalignment, and cracked welds that flatland repair crews rarely deal with. We reinforce the frame, reset the posts where possible, and adjust the swing so the gate closes square the way it should at this elevation. Read more on our dedicated Gate Repair in Wrightwood page.
Electric Gate Repair in Wrightwood
Cold mornings at 6,000 feet stress every opener, control board, and safety sensor on a Wrightwood gate. Condensation inside housings, frozen capacitors, and wind-driven debris in the track or sensor path all show up here more than in the valley. Our electric gate work covers the full diagnosis: board-level testing, operator arm travel, safety loops, and power supply, across all nine brands we service. The full scope is on our Electric Gate Repair in Wrightwood page.

Gate Installation in Wrightwood
Gate installation in Wrightwood starts with the site, not the product. A sloped gravel drive, a winter plow berm, or a wildfire-hardening project all change what we specify and how we build. We handle the full Gate Installation from post setting and frame fabrication to operator wiring and safety edges, and we quote the complete price before the first hole is dug.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car in snow or wind to open a manual gate every time you come up the drive.
What it costs in Wrightwood
Automatic gate installation in Wrightwood typically runs from $4,500 to $12,500, with power supply and operator type being the biggest variables at this elevation.
How we do it
We set and brace the posts for the gate’s weight and wind load, mount the operator to match the swing or slide, run the power and wiring, then program travel limits and safety loops before adjusting the close cycle for sub-freezing performance.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You need a gate that blocks vehicles without adding combustible wood fencing during your wildfire-hardening work, or the old gate has failed where the drive meets the plow line.
What it costs in Wrightwood
Driveway gate installation in Wrightwood typically starts around $2,200 for a single manual swing gate and rises with automated operators, custom iron, or a sloped pad that needs extra grade work.
How we do it
We check the grade and the gate’s swing or slide path, dig and set posts below the frost line, hang the gate with enough ground clearance for snow, then verify the latch and stop work correctly on a gravel or dirt drive.
What Gate Installation Costs in Wrightwood
| Item | Typical range in Wrightwood |
|---|---|
| Manual driveway gate (single swing, standard steel) | $1,500 – $2,500 |
| Automatic driveway gate with operator | $4,500 – $12,500 |
| Sliding gate with motor and track | $5,000 – $14,000 |
Do I need a permit to install a gate in Wrightwood?
Most gate installations in Wrightwood require a county building permit, especially for automatic gates with a power run. We check the setback and road sight-line rules for your specific lot and handle the submittal as part of the install.
Can you install a gate on a sloped gravel driveway?
Yes, most Wrightwood gates go on sloped or irregular ground. We often use a sliding or cantilever design to avoid a leaf dragging on snow or gravel, and we cut the posts to keep the gate level across the grade. Call (844) 703-6053 for a site-specific quote.

Two things push Wrightwood prices higher than valley rates. First, frost-line depth and sloped grades mean more digging, more concrete, and more time bracing posts for mountain wind. Second, cold-weather operator failures often require a new board or a rebuilt arm rather than a simple adjustment. We quote the job, you approve it, then we start.

FAQs About Gate Company in Wrightwood
We schedule Wrightwood calls within a few days in most cases, and we batch mountain jobs so you’re not paying for a full valley-to-summit dispatch on a small repair. A complete emergency opener failure in winter may still wait on road conditions, but we’ll tell you the honest timeline when you call.
Most automatic gate installations and many structural repairs in Wrightwood require a San Bernardino County permit, especially where the gate sits near a county-maintained road. We check setback and sight-line requirements for your specific property and handle the paperwork as part of the installation.
Snow can delay road access to certain Wrightwood properties, but the work itself is rarely postponed once we’re there, because our operators and control boards are rated for cold starts. If a storm closes the highway, we reschedule for the first open day and call you before we head up.
