Types of Automatic Gates We Repair
We handle a range of automatic gate systems designed to fit different property needs. Whether you have a sliding, swinging, or security gate, each requires specific parts and care for proper function.
Sliding Gate Systems
Sliding gates move horizontally on a track and are common for driveways with limited space. We repair the motor, rollers, and tracks to ensure smooth and quiet operation. Problems like misaligned tracks or worn-out rollers can cause the gate to jam or grind.
We also fix the gate sensors and safety edges, which prevent accidents by stopping the gate if something blocks its path. If your sliding gate doesn't open or close fully, we check the control board and remote system as part of the repair. These systems are particularly popular in Fullerton's more densely populated areas, where the population density averages 6,043.9 inhabitants per square mile.
Swing Gate Models
Swing gates open like a door, either inward or outward. We work on the hinges, arms, and automatic openers that power these gates. Rust or wear can make the hinges stiff or noisy, so we replace or lubricate components for easy movement. Electrical issues are also common, such as damaged motors or faulty wiring. We test all parts and replace broken ones to keep your gate reliable.
Safety features like photocells and edge sensors get special attention to prevent injury or damage. Many historic homes in Fullerton, including those in the Muckenthaler Cultural Center area and near the 1930s Plummer Auditorium, feature these classic swing gates that complement their architectural style.
Barrier and Security Gates
Barrier gates control vehicle access in places like parking lots or gated communities. We focus on the arm, motor, and sensors that raise and lower the barrier quickly and safely. Security gates include heavy-duty metal or chain link options with automation systems. These often have access controls like keypads or card readers.
We repair and maintain these systems to keep your property secure while allowing smooth entry and exit for authorized users. These systems are particularly important for Fullerton's major employers, including California State University, Fullerton (with 3,000 employees), St. Jude Medical Center (1,797 employees), and Raytheon (1,200 employees), where security and efficient access control are essential.
Comprehensive Repair Services
We focus on making sure every part of your automatic gate works smoothly and safely. Our repairs cover all main areas to keep your gate functional.
Mechanical Component Repairs
Mechanical parts like hinges, rollers, and tracks wear down over time. We check these parts for rust, bending, or damage that can cause your gate to jam or move unevenly. If screws or bolts are loose, we tighten or replace them to avoid sudden failures. Broken springs or cables are swapped out to restore proper gate balance and operation.
Our goal is to reduce friction and prevent breakdowns by making sure all moving pieces are aligned and moving freely. This work minimizes noise and extends the life of your gate. In Fullerton's Mediterranean climate, with summer temperatures regularly reaching into the 90s and occasional winter lows in the 40s, we use weather-appropriate lubricants and materials that stand up to the local climate conditions.
Gate Opener Troubleshooting
Your gate opener needs to open and close reliably every time. We inspect the motor and drive system for any signs of wear or electrical issues.
If the opener isn't responding or moves slowly, we test the power supply and connections. We also examine the gears and chains for damage that could cause failure. Adjusting settings like force and speed is part of our service to match your gate's specific weight and use. We also replace worn parts to keep the opener functioning well.
Electronic Control Panel Repair
The control panel is the brain of your automatic gate system. We diagnose problems like unresponsive remotes or failure to receive commands. Our work includes checking wiring connections for corrosion or damage. We test circuit boards and replace faulty components to restore communication between your devices and gate.
If software settings need recalibration, we adjust them to optimize gate response. Keeping the control panel in good condition is key for reliable gate operation. Our technicians are familiar with the electrical systems across Fullerton's diverse neighborhoods, from the newer Amerige Heights development (built 2001-2004) to the older established areas near Fullerton College founded in 1913.
Sensor and Safety Feature Fixes
Safety sensors stop your gate if something is in the way. We verify sensor alignment and clean lenses to ensure they work correctly. If sensors don't detect objects, we replace faulty units or repair wiring issues. We also check backup systems like battery packs and warning lights. Maintaining these safety features protects people and property. Ensuring all sensors trigger properly helps you avoid accidents and gate damage.
