Automatic Gate Repair & Installation in Mill Valley, CA

Who repairs automatic gates in Mill Valley?

Eagle Automatic Gate & Door, a family-owned company, repairs and installs automatic gates across Mill Valley and southern Marin, including Tiburon, Sausalito and Corte Madera. Our trained technicians fix electric gate openers, sensors, control boards and hinges, and build new private driveway gates, with a written price before any work starts.

Mill Valley’s steep, winding roads and shady redwood lots are hard on gates. Damp shade rots wood and rusts hardware, and narrow, sloped driveways leave little room for a gate to swing. For homes up toward Mount Tamalpais we often recommend sliding gates, rot-resistant materials and operators with battery backup for winter storms.

Private driveway gates, built and serviced by one crew.

The same licensed team designs, builds, automates and repairs gates for Mill Valley homes, so you deal with one company from the first call to the final safety test.

Why won’t my gate open on a damp, shady lot?

Moisture is the usual suspect. Fog and shade corrode hinges and wiring, swell wood gates so they bind, and cloud the safety sensors. A technician tests the operator, sensors, control board and power, finds the cause and gives you a written price before any work starts.

We repair LiftMaster, DoorKing, HySecurity, All-O-Matic, Eagle Access Control and Maximum Controls (MAX) operators, plus keypads, remotes and intercoms, and we can add battery backup so the gate keeps working when storms knock out power. Every repair ends with a full safety check.

What gate works on a narrow, sloped Marin driveway?

Usually a sliding gate, or a swing gate that opens downhill with an operator rated for the slope. We measure the grade and the space at the opening, then build the gate in our own shop to fit it, in wood, iron, aluminum or composite.

For privacy, horizontal slat and solid-panel designs are popular in Mill Valley. We install the operator, safety sensors and keypads or intercoms, and check town and HOA requirements at the estimate.

A horizontal redwood side gate with a matching planter wall.

The homeowner wanted a side entry that looked as good as the front of the house. We built a horizontal redwood side gate with a matching slatted planter wall and a keypad lock, so the side yard reads as one clean design.

Horizontal slats give privacy without feeling heavy, and sealed redwood holds up well in Marin’s damp shade.
