Opener trouble?
Automatic Gate Problems We Fix

Gate Opener Repair
We test power, the backup battery, the control board, limit settings, safety sensors and the remote receiver, and we check that the gate itself moves freely. A gate that drags or binds makes even a good opener fail, so we fix the hinges or track too when needed.

Automatic Gate Opener FAQs
Common causes are a power or breaker problem, a dead backup battery, a failed control board, a blocked or misaligned safety sensor, a remote or keypad fault, or a gate that is binding and tripping the operator's overload protection.
Usually a sensor or safety edge being triggered, incorrect limit settings, a failing control board or a gate that drags and trips the motor's obstruction sensing.
Yes. We install keypads, remotes, intercoms and smartphone control on most gate operators.
