A small city of 1960s houses and apartments
Artesia is a very small city, about 1.6 square miles, and Wikipedia says Cerritos lies to its west, south and east. According to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, the median home was built in 1966, about 71 percent of housing units are single-family houses and about 29 percent are in multi-unit buildings, and about half of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
That mix means private driveway gates on single-family lots next to shared entries at apartment and condo buildings. We could not confirm any named gated or HOA community in Artesia, so check with your landlord or association if the gate is not yours alone.
On a single-family driveway or a shared entry we start with the gate, its hinges, track and latch, and then test the operator, the sensors and the remotes.

- Shared entries at apartments and condos

What the area does to a gate
We found no Artesia climate table, so we use Long Beach Airport, the nearest station in our sources. Wikipedia lists mean daily highs of 81.4 degrees in July and 83.2 in August, about 12 inches of rain a year and a record high of 111 degrees. Sun and heat age batteries, plastic parts and lubricants, and winter rain can reach keypads and control boxes.
Wikipedia says the 1933 Long Beach earthquake caused two deaths and much structural damage in Artesia, a reminder that shifting ground can push gate posts and tracks out of line. The Los Cerritos News reported that a heat-wave outage on June 28, 2013 affected 467 Artesia customers. An electric gate keeps working through a cut only if its backup battery is healthy.
Once or twice a year, check that the gate still swings or rolls freely, wipe the sensor lenses and test the backup battery.
- Check that posts, hinges and tracks are still in line
- Test the backup battery before summer
- Wipe sensor lenses and check keypads after rain
What customers say
Real reviews from our Google listing, copied as the customers wrote them.
Called the office to let them know my issues and asked if we could get someone out to look at my door. Was told between 11-12...drove home from work at 11:05 and Emil was waiting and ready to get to work. Not knowing anything about how to fix a garage door, Emil did a great job explaining why I was having issues. Quoted a reasonable price (well at least what I thought was reasonable) and less than 40 minute later he had fixed the problem. Great customer service from intake of the call to fixing my door! If you need a garage door repair...support local business and give them your business, you won't be disappointed.Guadalupe · Google review
My garage door and opener were pretty banged up and not working properly. Emil Garage Doors came out, did a thorough evaluation of door and all it's parts. Even though the previous home owner rigged up the garage door opener with the wrong springs and parts, Emil repaired the door and saved us money by using some of the old parts. That kind of honesty will get 5 stars all day long. Thank you Emil Garage Doors for your great service.Bradford · Google review
I woke up to a loud crash when a tree in my front yard fell over and hit my garage door. Emil Garage Doors was able to give be a really good price on a new garage door. They uninstalled the old, damaged door and realigned the tracks the garage door connects to which had been damaged as well. The new door looks great and most importantly functions well. Thank you for going above and beyond in my time of need!Stuart · Google review
They were able to come within a few hours of my call. Another company could only give me a 4 hour window of arrival time the next day, but these guys was able to give me a 2 hour window the same day. One the guys called before arriving. He was friendly and competent in explaining the problem and our options. I was so grateful he had replacement springs and was able to fix our garage door in less than an hour.David · Google review
Not paying attention I closed the garage door on a pipe laying in the track. Needless to say it did some damage even though the automatic reverse opened the door back up. Emailed what happened on Sunday evening. Appointment with quote provided in just a few minutes and appointment confirmed. Once again they arrived on time. Completed repairs quickly and for less then the quote. Cleaned up like they were never there. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my garage door repairs.Carroll · Google review
Technician showed up on time, assessed our issue & presented replacement options. He proceeded to install new equipment during the same visit and everything was finished in less than two hours. We were impressed with the performance of our tech. It’s easy for us to recommend this company.Kathleen · Google review

An automatic gate can hurt someone, so until we arrive keep people, pets and vehicles clear of a gate that is leaning, dragging or not closing.
If the gate is stuck open or shut and you must move it, use the manual release the way the maker's instructions say, and never force a gate against its operator.
- Keep people, pets and vehicles away from the gate path
- Do not bypass or unplug the safety sensors
- Photograph the gate and the operator label, and note any blinking codes
Permits, HOAs and emergency access in Artesia
City permits. The City of Artesia, at City Hall, 18747 Clarkdale Avenue, phone 562-865-6262, contracts with BPR Consultants for Building and Safety services, with permits applied for through the city's online portal and plan check at building@cityofartesia.us. The city's Building & Safety page names garages as an example of work that needs a building permit but does not mention gates or gate operators, so we could not confirm a gate-specific rule. Ask the city before a new gate or new electrical work.
Apartment and commercial property. The city's FAQ says new construction and exterior alterations on commercial, industrial or multi-family property need Development Review Board approval first, so owners of those properties should ask the city before they change an entry gate. Artesia is a Los Angeles County Fire Department contract city; ask that department about key switch or Knox box requirements.
Emergency access. Fire and police need a way in. Before you install or change a locked entry, ask the local fire department about key switches and Knox boxes.
HOA review. Many associations review exterior changes such as gates. Check yours before you change a gate's design or color.
UL 325. This safety standard covers automatic gate operators and calls for entrapment protection such as photo eyes or safety edges. We test them before we leave.
Artesia gate repair: questions we hear
Is there gate repair near me in Artesia?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs swing and sliding driveway gates in Artesia (ZIP 90701) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (213) 340-4232, tell us your street or neighborhood, the gate type and what it does, and we book the soonest visit. See gate repair near me.
Is there electric gate repair near me in Artesia?
Yes. Electric gate repair near me in Artesia means a technician who repairs the operator, control board, sensors, remotes and backup battery as well as the gate itself. Call (213) 340-4232 and we book the soonest visit. See electric gate repair.
What is the difference between gate repair and electric gate repair in Artesia?
Gate repair means the gate itself: hinges, posts, latches, wheels, tracks and frames. Electric gate repair means the parts that move it: the operator, control board, sensors, remotes, keypads and battery. Most service calls need both checked, so we start with the gate and then test the electronics. See gate repair.
Why does my electric gate hum but not open?
The gate is probably binding, or a gear, arm or capacitor has failed. Do not keep running it, because that can burn out the motor. Call us and we free the gate and test the operator.
How much does gate repair cost in Artesia?
It depends on the gate type and the failed part. A remote, battery or sensor costs far less than a control board, an operator or a rebuilt post. We find the fault first, quote the price and start work only after you agree.
My gate does not work during a power outage. What can I do?
Most operators have a manual release, and many can use a backup battery. Use the release as the manufacturer directs and call us. We test the battery and the control board, because a flat battery or a board that lost its settings after an outage is common.
Should electric gates be serviced?
Yes. A yearly check of the battery, sensors, hinges or track, and operator keeps a gate from failing at a bad time.
Can you repair a gate operator from any brand?
We repair most residential operators. Tell us the brand and model, or send a photo of the unit. If parts are no longer made we explain your options.
Which ZIP code do you serve in Artesia?
Artesia uses ZIP code 90701, which also carries the Cerritos alias. ZIP 90703 is mainly a Cerritos ZIP with some Artesia addresses, and ZIP 90702 is for PO boxes. Call us with your address if you are not sure we reach you.
Can you repair gates at apartment buildings in Artesia?
Yes. About 29 percent of Artesia's housing units are in multi-unit buildings, according to the Census Bureau, and a shared gate is usually controlled by the owner or manager. Ask them to approve the visit, and we repair the gate, the operator and the keypad or intercom.
Can a handyman fix a gate?
A handyman can handle a loose latch or a dead remote battery. A failed operator, a control board or a gate that has dropped off its hinges needs a technician who can test the controls and the safety devices.
Do you repair garage doors in Artesia too?
Yes. See garage door repair in Artesia for springs, cables, openers and new doors, and garage door repair near me. When you ask for both we can look at the gate and the garage door at the same address.
