Automatic Gate Repair

Repair That Starts With a Diagnosis

An automatic gate is a mechanical structure, an electric motor and a small control network working together. When one part misbehaves, the symptom often shows up somewhere else entirely — a dragging roller makes a motor overheat, a wet photo-eye makes a healthy gate refuse to close, and a corroded ground wire makes a new remote look defective.

Our repair visits begin by reproducing the fault and testing the system in order: power supply, control board inputs, safety devices, drive components and the gate structure itself. That way the part we replace is the part that actually failed.

Automatic Gate Problems We Repair

• Gate not opening
• Gate not closing
• Gate stuck halfway
• Gate motor problems
• Remote or keypad problems
• Safety sensor problems
• Track and roller issues
• Chain problems
• Hinges and hardware
• Electrical issues
• Access control problems
• Noisy, slow or jerky gate movement

Mechanical Repairs

Rollers wear flat, tracks fill with grit, chains stretch, hinges sag and mounting posts shift as the ground moves. Any of these puts extra load on the operator and shortens its life. We correct alignment, replace worn drive and support hardware, re-tension chains and check that the gate moves freely by hand before the automation is asked to move it.

Electrical & Control Repairs

On the electrical side we test incoming power, transformers, fuses, wiring runs, batteries on battery-backed systems, control boards, receivers and limit switches. Buried cable that has been nicked by landscaping work and terminals that have corroded in a damp enclosure are both common and easy to miss without testing.

Safety Devices Are Part of Every Repair

Photo-eyes, edge sensors and reversing settings exist so a gate stops when something is in its path. We check and align these as part of a repair rather than bypassing them to make a symptom disappear — a gate that closes on a vehicle or a person is a far bigger problem than a gate that will not close.
