Gate installation in Mount Dora runs from about $2,100 for a basic single-swing driveway gate to $14,000+ for ornate custom wrought iron with full automation. We’re Tampa Gate Company, and we’ve served Mount Dora since 2013. What makes this town different is the range: one day we’re on a Victorian in the historic district preserving a 90-year-old iron gate, the next we’re setting posts in sandy soil off a rural road near Wolf Branch. Both jobs need the same thing: a company that does gates and nothing else. Call (866) 976-0095 for a free estimate.
Why Mount Dora Homes Are Different
Mount Dora’s housing stock puts two very different demands on a gate company. In the historic district, homes from the 1880s through the 1920s still have original wrought iron gates that have been repainted sometimes a dozen times over. Paint buildup seizes hinges. Decorative scrollwork corrodes from the inside. A general contractor might tell you to rip it out and start fresh. We’d rather carefully free the hinge pins, strip only what needs stripping, and reinforce the weak points so the gate keeps its original character. That’s repair thinking, and it’s rare.
Out on the lakefront and rural edges, the job changes. Long driveways, sandy soil that shifts with every heavy rain, and hurricane winds that put real torque on posts and hinges. We set posts deeper here than we would in most of Florida, and we’re particular about the hinge weight rating on anything over 10 feet wide. The climate does not compromise. Intense summer heat warps wooden gates. Afternoon thunderstorms saturate the soil and cause gate posts to lean. June through November, every installation we do has hurricane fastening considered from day one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Mount Dora Services
Most Mount Dora calls come down to two situations: a gate that will not open or close properly, and a gate with an electric system that has failed. Here’s how each works here.
Gate Repair in Mount Dora
Repair here means working on what Mount Dora actually has: sagging wood gates on historic homes, rusted iron hinges, gates knocked out of alignment by shifting soil, and posts that lean after heavy weather. We repair before we recommend replacement. If the post is solid and the gate frame is sound, we repair. You only hear the word “replace” from us when the metal is too corroded or the structure is genuinely unsafe. See what repair covers in Mount Dora on our Gate Repair in Mount Dora page.
Electric Gate Repair in Mount Dora
Electric gates fail differently here: control boards fried by summer lightning, safety loops that misread after the soil gets saturated, keypads that stop responding after storms. We diagnose the motor, the board, the sensors, and the wiring, not just the symptom. Mighty Mule systems on rural driveways and LiftMaster operators on newer builds are the two brands we see most often in Mount Dora, and we carry parts for both. Read the full diagnostic approach on our Electric Gate Repair in Mount Dora page.

Gate Installation in Mount Dora
Gate installation in Mount Dora means engineering for what this area throws at a gate. The humid subtropical climate demands materials that do not warp or rust, the sandy soil means deeper footers than standard, and hurricane season requires hardware rated for wind load. A new gate here should last 15 to 25 years when it is set and hung correctly. Whether it is a simple manual driveway gate in 32757 or an automated entry system off Lakeshore Drive, we size the posts, the hinges, and the operator to the gate, not the other way around. For the full scope of what we install, see Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing the gate by hand every time you come and go, or you have a push-to-open system you want upgraded to a keypad or intercom-controlled opener.
What it costs in Mount Dora
Automatic gate installation in Mount Dora typically runs $3,400 to $9,800, depending on gate size, opener type, and whether we’re adding a keypad or intercom.
How we do it
We mount the operator, run power from the nearest source, set the travel limits, install and tune the safety loops, and pair your keypad or remote.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway opens directly to the street with no barrier, or an old gate has rotted, sagged, or been hit and no longer closes square.
What it costs in Mount Dora
Driveway gate installation in Mount Dora ranges from $2,100 for a basic single-swing steel gate to $7,500 for a wider automated double-swing setup.
How we do it
We set posts below the frost line in concrete rated for Mount Dora’s sandy soil, hang the gate to a level close, and adjust hinges for load.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway is steep, narrow, or has a sharp approach that makes a swinging gate impractical, or you want a gate that never swings into traffic.
What it costs in Mount Dora
Sliding gate installation in Mount Dora starts around $3,200 for a chain-driven steel slider and reaches $12,000 for a heavy cantilever system with automation.
How we do it
We set the track or cantilever posts, install the gate on rollers or the cantilever carriage, and set the motor and travel stops.

In Mount Dora, historic-district restoration work and rural driveway length are the two things that push price past the baseline. Long conduit runs, deep post holes in sandy soil, and delicate iron restoration each add real labor.

What Mount Dora Customers Say
"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Jessica Yang"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
— Scott Miller"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Rachel Meyer
