Our Repair Solutions
We handle all parts of automatic gate repairs to restore smooth operation. Our work covers detailed inspections, fixing electrical problems, and replacing worn-out tracks and motors to keep your gate reliable.
Diagnostic Inspections
We start with a thorough check of your gate system. Our team looks for mechanical damage, electrical faults, and alignment problems.
Using specialized tools, we test the gate’s sensors, remote controls, wiring, and safety features. This helps identify the exact cause of issues like slow movement or unexpected stops.

We document all findings clearly and explain the repair needs. This step ensures that we fix the right problem without unnecessary work or costs.
Electrical Component Repairs
Electrical parts like motors, circuit boards, and sensors often cause gate failures. We repair these with care to avoid recurring issues.

Our trained technicians replace worn wires, fix short circuits, and update control panels. We also recalibrate sensors to ensure precise gate movement and safety.
We use quality parts compatible with your specific gate model. This prevents future breakdowns and keeps the gate functioning properly.
Track and Motor Replacement
Over time, gate tracks can bend or rust, and motors can lose power. We replace these parts to maintain smooth gate operation.
We remove damaged tracks and install new, durable ones that fit perfectly. For motors, we offer models matched to your gate size and weight.
Proper installation and alignment are key here. We double-check these to avoid noise, jerky motion, and gate jams later on.
Types of Automatic Gates We Service
We work with a wide range of automatic gates that vary by location, function, and design. Each gate type requires specific skills and tools to repair and maintain.
Residential Automatic Gates
Our team services residential gates designed for homes and small properties. These gates include swing, sliding, and barrier systems.
We focus on safety features like sensors and automatic stops. Repairs often involve fixing motors, remotes, or control panels.
We also handle issues with gate alignment and weather damage. Homeowners rely on smooth operation and reliable security, so we ensure every part works well.
Commercial Automatic Gates
Commercial gates protect businesses and larger properties. These can be heavier and more complex than home gates.
We repair industrial-grade motors, safety devices, and access control systems like keypads or card readers. Quick service reduces downtime for your business.
These gates must handle frequent use and higher security needs. We test all components to keep them functioning correctly and securely.
Sliding and Swing Gate Systems
Sliding and swing gates are the two main types we fix. Sliding gates move sideways on tracks, while swing gates open like doors.
Sliding gates often need track cleaning and wheel repairs. Swing gates may require hinge and motor adjustments.

We check the entire mechanism, including sensors and remotes. Proper maintenance prevents jams and extends gate life.
