Common Automatic Gate Problems Repaired


Automatic gates can stop working for several clear reasons. Issues with the motor, hinges, rollers, sensors, and remotes are common. Fixing these parts quickly helps keep your gate reliable and safe.


Malfunctioning Gate Motors


The motor is the heart of your automatic gate. If the motor stops working, the gate won't open or close properly. Motors can fail due to wear and tear, electrical problems, or blocked gears. You might notice slow movement, strange noises, or the gate stopping mid-way. These signs mean the motor needs service or replacement. We check the wiring, test motor power, and clean any debris blocking parts. Regular motor maintenance can prevent sudden failures. If your motor shows early problems, it's best to call us right away.


Broken Gate Hinges and Rollers


Gate hinges and rollers support the gate and allow smooth movement. When they break or wear out, the gate can sag, stick, or bind. Common issues include rusty hinges, bent rollers, or worn-out bearings. These problems make the gate harder to operate and increase strain on the motor. We inspect and replace damaged hinges and rollers. Proper lubrication and alignment help your gate move quietly and easily. Damaged parts are replaced with durable options to last longer.


Sensor and Remote Issues


Sensors and remotes control how your gate opens automatically. Faulty sensors can cause the gate to stop abruptly or not detect obstacles. Remote problems usually come from dead batteries, signal interference, or damaged transmitters. You might find the remote only works from close range or sometimes not at all.


We test sensor alignment and replace any faulty parts. For remotes, we offer battery replacement and reprogramming. Fixing these ensures your gate responds safely and reliably every time.




Maintenance Plans for Automatic Gates


We offer maintenance plans to keep your automatic gate working smoothly and safely. Regular checks help prevent issues before they become costly repairs. Just as Placentia implemented the first "quiet zone" in 2007 for cargo-carrying trains passing through the city (using locomotive grade-crossing predictors and intercrossing ground-based radio communications), our maintenance plans are designed to be proactive and prevent problems before they occur. Our plans include inspection of all moving parts, cleaning, and lubrication. This helps reduce wear and tear on your gate motor and hinges. Here's what's covered in a typical maintenance plan:


  • Motor and opener testing
  • Safety feature checks
  • Adjustment of gate alignment
  • Battery and remote control inspection
  • Cleaning debris from tracks and sensors


You get scheduled visits, usually twice a year, but we can adjust based on how often you use your gate. These plans save you time and money by avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Plus, they extend the life of your gate's components. We can tailor a plan to fit the size and type of gate on your property. Whether it's a residential or commercial gate, maintenance keeps it reliable year-round. If you notice your gate opening slowly or making unusual noises, it's a sign you may need service. Regular maintenance makes sure your gate stays secure and works properly.
