Automatic gate repair

Automatic gate not working? We fix the whole system, not just one part.

  • Gate, operator & sensors checked
  • Access controls tested
  • Written price before work starts
Automated double swing driveway gate on a hillside property

An automatic gate is a system: the gate itself, the hinges or rollers it moves on, the operator that drives it, the safety sensors that stop it, and the remotes or keypads that tell it what to do. When one part fails, the others often get blamed.

We diagnose the whole system so the repair actually lasts. That can mean repairing the gate so it moves freely, servicing the operator, re-aligning sensors, or reprogramming access devices.

What we cover

Every automatic gate call starts with a full check, so you get the root cause and a written price before we start.

Power, control board, limits, operator and gate hardware checked in order until we find the fault.

Tune-ups for automatic gates

Hardware tightened, moving parts lubricated, sensors and manual release tested.

Why automatic gates stop working

01

The gate is binding

A sagging swing gate or a jammed sliding gate makes the operator strain, trip or burn out.

02

Sensors and settings

Blocked or misaligned sensors and drifted limits make the gate stop, reverse or refuse to close.

03

Power and controls

Tripped power, failed batteries, control board faults or damaged wiring stop the system entirely.

Signs your automatic gate needs service

Call if your gate:

  • Won't open or close from any remoteOften power, the control board or the receiver.
  • Opens but won't closeUsually the safety sensors or a close-limit setting.
  • Moves unevenly or jerksWorn hardware, a binding gate or a strained operator.
  • Leaves gaps or misses the stopLimits have drifted or the gate has shifted.
  • Is getting louder over timeWorn gears, rollers or hinges that will eventually fail.

Safety first. Automatic gates close with real force. Never walk or drive through a gate while it's moving, don't bypass its safety sensors, and keep children away from the gate and its controls.

FAQs

Automatic Gate Repair FAQs

What's the difference between gate repair and automatic gate repair?

Gate repair covers the gate itself: hinges, rollers, tracks, latches and framing. Automatic gate repair covers the whole automated system, including the operator, sensors and access controls.

Why won't my automatic gate close?

Most often the safety sensors are blocked or misaligned, or the close limit has drifted. A gate that binds partway can also make the operator stop and reverse.

Can you repair any brand of gate operator?

We work on most residential swing and slide gate operators. Tell us the brand and model when you call if you know it.

Do automatic gates need maintenance?

Yes. A yearly check of hardware, sensors, batteries and the manual release helps prevent breakdowns.

Is it safe to use my gate if it's acting up?

If it's stopping, reversing or moving unevenly, stop using it and call us. A gate with faulty sensors may not stop for an obstruction.
