AfterPedestrian Gate in West Palm Beach, FL
A pedestrian gate in West Palm Beach typically costs between $900 and $3,800 installed, depending on material, width, and whether it includes a lock set or access system. Most installations take one day once the gate is fabricated, and Carver Gate Repair West Palm Beach provides a written price before any work starts. Call (728) 203-2413 for a free estimate on a walk-through gate that matches your existing fence line and lets people in without opening the driveway.
Pedestrian gates are the narrow walk-through gates set beside or within a larger driveway gate. They serve a practical purpose: letting family, delivery drivers, and guests come and go on foot without cycling a heavy motorized gate every time. We install these as part of our Gate Installation in West Palm Beach work, and we treat them with the same discipline as any full-size automated system. Lonnie Burke, who runs our West Palm Beach operation, keeps the crew focused on one thing: a gate that swings square, latches clean, and stays that way.
Our home page covers the full range of gate repair and installation services, but this page is dedicated to the walk-through gate specifically. If your driveway gate works fine and you just need a separate pedestrian entrance, this is the page for you.

When You Need Pedestrian Gate
Walk-through gates get used harder than any other part of a fence line. Here are the situations we see most often in West Palm Beach neighborhoods like Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Lake Clarke Shores:
- The old gate has sagged and drags on the ground. South Florida’s sandy soil shifts, and gate posts that weren’t set deep enough start to lean within a few years. A gate that scrapes concrete or grass means the hinge side is failing.
- The gate won’t latch. Salt air from the Intracoastal corrodes latch hardware faster than inland installs. When the spring latch stops catching, it’s usually the strike plate or the gate frame that has moved.
- The gate is too narrow for what you need. A 30-inch opening doesn’t fit a stroller or a grocery cart. Standard walk gates are 36 to 42 inches wide, and we fabricate to fit the opening you actually have.
- You’re adding a gate where there wasn’t one. Homeowners along Flagler Drive and in the South End frequently add walk gates when they create a path from the street or alley to a side entry.
- You want keypad or intercom access on the walk gate. A pedestrian gate with an access panel lets visitors come through without giving them the driveway gate code. We wire these to match the brand already installed on the property.
- The existing gate is rotted, rusted through, or was built by someone who didn’t set the post in concrete. We replace failed installations and re-set posts to hold under daily use.
Our Pedestrian Gate Process
Here’s how we handle a walk gate install from first call to final walkthrough:
- Call and describe the site. A live person answers at (728) 203-2413. We ask about the fence type, gate width, and whether you want a lock, keypad, or intercom. No answering machine, no waiting until Monday.
- Site measurement and written estimate. We measure the opening, check post condition, and identify any grade issues. You get a written price before any work begins. That number does not move at the door.
- Gate selection and fabrication. We match the gate to your existing fence material and hardware. For aluminum drive gates from brands like LiftMaster, FAAC, or Elite, we make sure the walk gate hardware is compatible with the same access system.
- Installation day. Posts are set in concrete to a depth appropriate for South Florida soil. The gate is hung, adjusted, and tested for swing and latch. We keep the site clean as we go.
- Hardware and access setup. If you asked for a keypad, intercom, or lock set, we install and test it while you watch. We show you the reset procedure and set your codes with you.
- Written guarantee handoff. Every pedestrian gate installation includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything fails within one year, we return and fix it at no charge.
Pedestrian Gate Pricing in West Palm Beach
Pedestrian gate installation in West Palm Beach typically costs $900 to $3,800. Budget-facing gate replacements fall around $900 to $1,400, while custom aluminum or steel gates with access control run $2,200 to $3,800. The spread is driven by material, width, post work, and hardware.
Here’s a breakdown of what drives the cost in this market:
- Gate material and fabrication: $350 to $1,600. Pressure-treated wood is the low end; welded aluminum or galvanized steel is the high end. Aluminum holds up best against salt air near the Intracoastal.
- Post setting: $150 to $400 per post. We set posts in concrete to a depth that resists shifting in sandy soil. Replacing a rotted or leaning post costs more than setting a new one in a fresh hole.
- Hardware and locks: $80 to $350. Spring latches, keyed locks, and self-closing hinges. Commercial-grade hardware runs higher and lasts longer in humid conditions.
- Access control integration: $250 to $900. Keypads and intercoms wired to work with your existing gate motor brand, whether it’s LiftMaster, FAAC, or Mighty Mule.
- Old gate removal and disposal: $75 to $200. We haul the old gate and post debris off-site.
Every estimate is free and comes in writing before work starts. Call (728) 203-2413 and we’ll give you a firm number based on your fence line, your hardware, and the gate width you need.

FAQs – Pedestrian Gate
How much does a pedestrian gate cost in West Palm Beach?
A pedestrian gate in West Palm Beach typically costs $900 to $3,800 installed, including hardware. Most standard walk gates land between $1,100 and $2,200. Call (728) 203-2413 for an exact written quote, free of charge.
Can you install a pedestrian gate the same week I call?
In most cases, yes. Standard replacement gates can often be installed same week. Custom-fabricated gates take longer, usually 1 to 2 weeks from measurement to install. We’ll tell you the real timeline when you call.
Is it cheaper to repair a sagging pedestrian gate or replace it?
If the post is solid and the frame is intact, a repair costs $150 to $400. If the post has shifted or the frame is rotted or rusted through, replacement is the cheaper long-term option at $900 to $2,500. We’ll assess the gate and give you a straight answer, not a push.
Can I add a keypad or intercom to a pedestrian gate?
Yes. We install keypads and intercoms on walk gates and wire them to work with your existing gate motor system, including LiftMaster, Elite, FAAC, and Mighty Mule setups. The access hardware adds $250 to $900 depending on the system.
