Gate installation in Upland means working with a housing stock that runs from 1950s ranch homes to hillside properties cut into the San Gabriel foothills. We install automatic driveway gates, electric side-yard gates, and sliding gates across ZIPs 91784, 91785, and 91786. Ontario Gate Company is a gate-only contractor, so every install accounts for Upland’s Santa Ana winds, slope drainage, and the mid-century gate frames that often need reinforcement before an opener gets mounted. If you’re planning a new gate or replacing one that’s failed, call (855) 707-3634 for a free estimate.
Why Upland Homes Are Different
Upland splits into two distinct work zones. The flatland tracts south of Foothill Boulevard are mostly 1950s and 1960s ranch homes with original wrought-iron, chain-link, and wood side-yard gates. Those gates are sixty-plus years old now, and the posts are frequently rusted at ground level or pulled out of plumb by decades of use. A gate that still looks fine from the street can have hinge bolts that are one good wind event from shearing.
The foothill neighborhoods in 91784 and 91786 are a different animal. When Santa Ana winds funnel down the canyon mouths, wind-facing side yards take a beating. We regularly see posts that have been rocked loose in their footings, hinges with elongated bolt holes, and lightweight metal frames that have twisted. Add the dry summers that warp wood gates and the winter marine-layer damp that accelerates rust, and you get a seasonal failure cycle that peaks every fall. Flatland tract homes a mile south mostly need sagging-hinge tune-ups; the foothill streets need heavier hardware and sometimes a redesigned post footing.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Upland Services
Most Upland calls fall into two buckets: a gate that won’t stay closed or latched, and an electric operator that won’t open or close reliably. Both are covered below.
Gate Repair in Upland
Manual gate repair in Upland usually comes down to hinges, posts, and latch alignment. Wrought-iron gates from the 1960s sag as hinge pins wear, and wood gates swell or warp with the dry-wet seasonal swing. We straighten frames, reset posts in fresh concrete where needed, and replace hardware with parts rated for the wind loads that foothill properties see. If your gate drags, won’t latch, or sits crooked, the full repair scope is on Gate Repair in Upland.
Electric Gate Repair in Upland
Electric gate failures in Upland range from dead control boards and burned motors to safety sensors knocked out of alignment by wind-driven gate movement. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators, and we diagnose on-site rather than swapping parts blind. For the full breakdown of what’s covered, see Electric Gate Repair in Upland.

Gate Installation in Upland
New gate installation in Upland starts with the site, not the gate. A flatland ranch home on a graded lot needs a different post depth and hinge spec than a hillside property where runoff cuts through the footing every winter. We install automatic gates, electric gates, driveway gates, and sliding gates designed for the soil, slope, and wind exposure of the specific property. If you’re replacing a mid-century gate with a modern opener, we’ll tell you honestly whether the old frame can carry the load or needs reinforcement. The full service scope is on Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing the gate by hand multiple times a day, or a vehicle gate is being left open because manual operation is inconvenient.
What it costs in Upland
Automatic gate installation in Upland typically runs from $2,500 to $9,000 depending on gate size, operator type, and site work.
How we do it
We set or reinforce posts, hang the gate, mount the operator, run power, install safety sensors, and program remotes and keypads, then test full travel.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate is sagging, rusted through, or was never automated and you want controlled vehicle access.
What it costs in Upland
Driveway gate installation in Upland typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000, with hillside lots on the higher end due to footing and slope work.
How we do it
We measure the drive width and slope, set posts to depth, fabricate or order the gate to spec, install the operator and safety edges, and test cycles.
What Gate Installation Costs in Upland
| Item | Typical range in Upland |

| Automatic gate installation | $2,500 – $9,000 |
| Driveway gate installation | $3,000 – $10,000 |

Hillside lots in 91784 push costs up when footings need to be cut into slope or retaining-wall work is required. Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts.
How long does gate installation take in Upland?
Most residential gate installations in Upland take one to two days on-site. Custom fabrication or hillside footing work can extend the timeline by a few days.
Do you handle the power run and safety edges?
Yes. We run power to the operator, install photo eye sensors, safety edges where required, and program all remotes and keypads before we leave.

What Upland Customers Say
"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
— Karen Chen"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."
— Adam Whitaker"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."
