Davie holds onto its western character like few South Florida towns can, with equestrian trails, ranch-style homes, and nurseries spread along Orange Drive and the roads off Flamingo Road. Properties here often sit behind long driveways and wide gates built for horse trailers and equipment, and RK Gates & Access Control repairs the heavy-duty operators those gates need. We also service the university-area neighborhoods and newer subdivisions across town. The town also hosts the county’s rodeo grounds and a large university population, so traffic patterns change sharply from one side of Davie to the other.
From a ranch gate that will not swing true to a keypad that quit after the last rain, we handle it. Davie property owners can call RK Gates & Access Control at (561) 261-0920.

Gate Repair & Access Control in Davie
Ranch and acreage gates are a different breed from subdivision entries. Davie properties often have gates twelve feet or wider, hung on timber or steel posts, opening onto gravel or grass rather than pavers. Weight, wind, and soft ground all conspire to pull them out of alignment. We rebuild worn hinge points, correct post lean, and fit operators sized for the gate’s real mass and the number of daily trips made by trucks, trailers, and feed deliveries. Fencing and gate alignment interact on ranch properties: a fence line that shifts with the seasons can pull a gate frame with it, so we check both together.
Long driveways create their own access questions. A call box at the road does little good if the intercom audio is drowned out by traffic on a busy corridor, and visitors may need to reach the house from several hundred feet away. We install and repair driveway intercoms, cellular entry units, and long-range remotes suited to big lots. For barns and outbuildings, we can also tie secondary gates into the same remote so working the property stays simple. We also confirm that a horse or a tall trailer can clear the entrance without anyone holding the gate, because working properties cannot afford a bottleneck at the road.
Davie Gate Service FAQs
Can you repair a wide gate used for horse trailers?
Yes, wide agricultural and equestrian gates are common in Davie, and we service the heavy-duty swing operators they require. The key is matching operator strength to the gate’s weight and wind load, and making sure the hinges carry the load smoothly. We will inspect the posts and frame and flag anything that needs reinforcement.
Our gate opener is slow over our long driveway entrance. Is that normal?
Large gates do travel more slowly than small ones, both for safety and because of their weight, but a noticeable slowdown over time usually means rising friction or a tiring motor. Dragging wheels, dry bearings, and low voltage at the end of a long cable run are frequent causes. We can measure and correct whichever factor is slowing yours down.
What access option works best for a property with a long driveway?
Cellular telephone entry is popular on Davie acreage because it rings your phone wherever you are and needs no wiring back to the house. Keypads and long-range remotes suit daily family use. During a visit we can look at your driveway length, power availability at the gate, and how you receive guests, then suggest the best fit.
