What is your gate doing?
What is your gate doing?
Each symptom points to a short list of possible causes. This is what we check first.
Stuck open
- Often linked to
- A blocked or misaligned photo eye, an exit loop or detector holding an open signal, a timer-to-close setting, or a power problem.
- What we check
- Safety devices, loop detector, control settings, power and battery backup.
Stuck closed or won't open
- Often linked to
- No power or a tripped breaker, a drained backup battery, a failed receiver, motor or control board, or a gate binding on its hinges or track.
- What we check
- Power from the breaker to the operator, the battery, remote and keypad inputs, then the motor, board and gate movement.
Starts to close, then reverses
- Often linked to
- A photo eye or safety edge triggering, drifted limit or force settings, or a gate that binds and trips obstruction sensing.
- What we check
- Each safety device, force and limit settings, and hinges or rollers for binding.
Dragging or off track
- Often linked to
- A sagging leaf, worn hinges, broken guide rollers, a bent track or impact damage.
- What we check
- Alignment, hinges, wheels, track and posts. We re-hang the gate and weld where needed.
Noisy, slow or jerky
- Often linked to
- Worn rollers, bearings or hinges, a weak battery, a worn gearbox, or a gate that is harder to move than the operator expects.
- What we check
- Whether the gate moves freely by hand, the hardware, battery voltage and the drive.
Not responding to remotes or keypad
- Often linked to
- Remote batteries, lost programming, a failed receiver or keypad, or damaged wiring.
- What we check
- Remotes and receiver, keypad wiring and inputs, and the commands reaching the operator.
These are common causes, not a diagnosis. The technician confirms the actual cause by testing the gate on site. Opener or motor problem? See gate operator & motor repair.
How we diagnose and repair
See the fault
We run the gate open and closed to see the problem ourselves.
Test each part
Power, battery backup, operator, safety devices, then hinges, rollers and track.
Explain and price
You hear what failed and what the repair costs. Nothing is replaced without your approval.
Repair and re-test
We fix it, reset limits and safety settings, and run full cycles before we leave.
If a part has to be ordered, we leave the gate safe and secure until we return.
Swing, sliding and commercial gates
We also repair gates and operators installed by other companies.
Community gate repair
Community gates cycle far more often than a home gate, and residents notice the minute one stops. We repair entry and exit gates, barrier arms, operators, loop detectors and battery backup at community entrances.
- A written quote the board can review before work starts
- Repair and replacement options explained
