Kingston Gate Repair installs, repairs, and services automatic and manual gates across Temple Terrace, FL. Most of our work in 33617 involves matching new gates to older homes, where heavy custom iron and aluminum driveways sit on masonry pillars that have shifted over decades. If you need a new gate built to fit an existing opening or a complete automatic system, call (877) 752-3303 for a free on-site estimate.
Why Temple Terrace Homes Are Different
Temple Terrace is one of Florida’s first planned golf-course communities, and its mature oak-canopied lots mean gate work here is rarely a simple swap. We regularly match or reinforce older custom iron and aluminum driveway gates that were installed decades ago and now fight root-heaved posts and humid, storm-driven corrosion. Housing spans 1920s Mediterranean-revival and ranch homes near the original Temple Terrace Estates core to 1960s and 1980s block-and-stucco houses along the river and golf course. That stock produces a lot of custom-welded iron or aluminum gates on concrete and masonry posts, not builder-grade vinyl units.
Subtropical humidity and heavy summer afternoon thunderstorms accelerate rust on steel gates and stress hinges, latches, and post footings, especially where irrigation keeps soil wet year-round. In the old golf-course sections, original wrought-iron gates are often anchored to aging brick or coquina-style pillars. When a gate sags there, the fix usually means re-setting the pillar footing, not just adjusting the hinges. Any technician who shows up in Temple Terrace without understanding that will be back in six months for the same repair.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Temple Terrace Services
Temple Terrace homeowners and property managers call Kingston Gate Repair most often for two things: a gate that has stopped working correctly, and an electric operator that has stopped responding. Both are covered by our dedicated gate team.
Gate Repair in Temple Terrace
Manual and automatic gates in Temple Terrace take a beating from humidity, afternoon storms, and shifting soil around mature oaks. We repair sagging gates, seized hinges, broken welds, and latch and lock failures on custom iron and aluminum gates, including those mounted to older brick pillars. We diagnose and repair in one visit whenever parts allow, because our trucks carry hardware sized for the custom work common in 33617. See the full repair scope at Gate Repair in Temple Terrace.
Electric Gate Repair in Temple Terrace
Electric gate operators in Temple Terrace fail for predictable local reasons: moisture in control boards after heavy rain, corroded wire connections, sensor and loop issues from shifting concrete. Our technicians work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Mighty Mule, and commercial systems from DoorKing and Viking, so the diagnosis is usually made on the first visit. Full details are on our Electric Gate Repair in Temple Terrace page.

Gate Installation in Temple Terrace
Gate installation in Temple Terrace usually means building a new gate that looks right on a 1920s Mediterranean-revival home or a 1970s block-and-stucco house, then engineering it to survive subtropical humidity and heavy summer storms. We handle residential driveway swing gates, sliding gates, and full automatic systems, including the operator, safety devices, and power run. Kingston Gate Repair has served Temple Terrace since 2013. For full service details, see Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want keypad or remote access at the driveway, or you are tired of getting out of the car in afternoon thunderstorms to open a manual gate.
What it costs in Temple Terrace
Automatic gate installation in Temple Terrace typically ranges from $3,200 to $8,500, depending on gate size, operator brand, and power access.
How we do it
We measure the opening, fabricate or order the gate to fit, pour and anchor posts, mount the operator, run power and safety loops, program remotes, and test the full cycle before we leave.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have an existing masonry or brick pillar opening that needs a properly hung custom gate, or no gate at all on a driveway that now needs one.
What it costs in Temple Terrace
Driveway gate installation in Temple Terrace typically ranges from $2,000 to $6,500 for a manual custom gate, and more when automation is added.
How we do it
We build or source the gate to your opening dimensions, anchor new posts or reinforce existing pillars, hang and align the gate, and adjust hinges so it swings clean without dragging.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes sharply or the opening is too wide for swing gates, so a rolling slide gate is the practical fix.
What it costs in Temple Terrace
Sliding gate installation in Temple Terrace typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, including track or cantilever hardware and operator where requested.
How we do it
We level and pour the track or cantilever foundation, set the gate frame, install rollers and guide hardware, mount the operator, and adjust travel so the gate opens fully without strain.

Do I need an HOA or city permit for a new gate in Temple Terrace?
Temple Terrace has deed-restricted neighborhoods and the city may require a permit for new permanent posts and electrical work. We can coordinate with your HOA and pull the permit where required, and we will tell you the full price before any work begins.
How long does a gate installation take in Temple Terrace?
Most residential gate installations in Temple Terrace are completed in one to three days. Custom iron gates that require fabrication take longer, and we confirm a schedule in writing before the job starts. Call (877) 752-3303 for a firm timeline on your project.

What Temple Terrace Customers Say
"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Amanda Hayes"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Sarah Novak"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Scott Miller
