About Us

Built for the salt air.
Trusted on 7th Street.

Gate Repair Santa Monica started with a simple observation: coastal homes and businesses need gate technicians who understand what salt air, marine humidity, and daily sun exposure do to metal, motors, and electronics — most companies don't. We built our shop around that problem.

From our location on 7th St, we've spent over a decade repairing, maintaining, and installing automatic, sliding, and swing gates for homeowners, HOAs, and businesses across Santa Monica. Every technician on our team is background-checked, factory-trained on major opener brands, and equipped to diagnose issues on the spot — not guess and return three times.

Integrity

Honest diagnostics, upfront pricing, no surprise add-ons.

Craftsmanship

Precision fabrication and welding, not patch fixes.

Safety First

Every install meets UL 325 entrapment safety standards.

Reliability

Same-day appointments and a 24/7 emergency line.

Common Questions

Most repairs in Santa Monica are completed the same day. After diagnosing the issue on-site, our technician will give you a time estimate before starting work.
