Gate opener repair
Gate opener humming, clicking or doing nothing? Let's find out why.
- Swing-arm & slide operators
- Safety sensors tested
- Written price before work starts
A gate opener that won't respond, stops halfway or reverses for no reason can leave you locked in or out of your own driveway. Sometimes the cause is simple, like a dead remote battery, a tripped sensor or a limit that has drifted. Sometimes it's a worn motor, gearbox or control board.
We test the whole system: power, control board, limits, safety sensors, remotes and keypads, and the gate itself. A gate that drags or binds makes any opener fail early, so if the problem is the gate, we'll fix that too with gate repair.
Locked in or out?
Call us. We can often talk you through using the manual release safely.
Our gate opener services
We repair the operator you have when it makes sense, and tell you plainly when it's time for a new one.
Operator repair
Motors, gearboxes, arms and control boards diagnosed and repaired or replaced.
Safety sensor repair
Photo-eyes and edge sensors aligned, repaired or replaced so the gate stops and reverses as it should.

Common types of gate openers
Swing-arm operators
Mounted on the gate and post, pushing and pulling the gate open. Used on single and double swing gates.
Slide operators
Pad-mounted beside the gate, driving it along the track with a chain or gear rack.
Signs your gate opener needs service
Call if your gate opener:
- Doesn't respond to the remote or keypadCould be batteries, programming, the receiver or the control board.
- Hums or clicks but the gate doesn't moveOften a motor, gearbox or capacitor problem, or a gate that's binding.
- Stops or reverses partwayUsually a sensor, a limit setting or the gate dragging.
- Runs slowly or strainsThe gate may be too heavy for the operator or the hardware is worn.
- Makes grinding or clunking noisesWorn gears, arms or mounting hardware.
Safety first. Automatic gates are heavy and move with real force. Don't try to force a stuck gate or bypass its safety sensors; switch the operator to manual release only if you know how, and call a technician.
