Gate in Margate, FL
Margate was founded in the 1950s on land that was still partly Everglades and partly farm, became a town in 1955 and incorporated as a city in 1961. The name is a portmanteau of founder Jack Marqusee's surname and the word gateway, since the city was seen as the gateway to western Broward.
It sits about seven and a half miles from the Atlantic, has a waterpark called Calypso Cove and a golf course at the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club, and had 58,712 residents at the 2020 census.
Inland position takes some of the corrosion pressure off, which widens the sensible material choices and brings powder-coated steel back into play at a lower cost than it makes sense at on the coast. The housing is largely 1960s and 1970s single-family and a substantial stock of condominium and active-adult communities.
On the single-family side that means straightforward ornamental steel or aluminum swing gates with a keypad, exit loop and battery backup. On the community side it is the familiar list: undersized original operators, dead landline call boxes needing cellular conversion, and entrances that have never had a proper safety inspection.
Gate work we do in Margate, FL
Fort Lauderdale Gate Pros covers the same range of work in Margate that we do in Fort Lauderdale — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Gate Motors & Solar Power — We install solar gate systems and we talk most Fort Lauderdale clients out of them. On a typical waterfront lot the panel is the wrong answer to a problem that a trench solves permanently and for less money over the life of the gate.
- Custom & Estate Gates — The more sculptural a gate is, the more places water can sit in it. That is the tension in every estate gate on the water, and it is resolvable, but it has to be resolved at the drawing stage rather than during fabrication.
- Security Fencing & Perimeter — A waterfront perimeter has an open side and there is no getting around it. You can secure three boundaries of a property on the Intracoastal, and the fourth is a seawall with a dock on it, which changes what the fence is actually for.
- Commercial & Industrial Gates — The marine yards along the Dania Cut-off Canal and the New River run the hardest environment for a gate anywhere in Broward. Bottom paint dust, pressure wash runoff, hauled boats dripping salt water across the apron, and a perimeter that is half chain link and half water.
- Welding & Gate Fabrication — Welding for the water is a different craft from welding for a dry climate, because a weld is a metallurgical discontinuity and salt attacks discontinuities first. Most of what we do in the shop is aimed at leaving as few of those as possible.
- Emergency Gate Service — Two kinds of emergency call come in from waterfront properties, and they need different responses. The gate will not open, which is urgent and usually electrical.

About Margate, FL — and why local matters here
Margate sits in Broward County with a population of roughly 58,712 at the 2020 census, close enough to Fort Lauderdale that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club, State Road 7, Calypso Cove.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Margate properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Broward County, and a gate contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
