Driveway, community and parking gates — the gate and its operator diagnosed together and repaired on site.
A gate that stops halfway, refuses to close or opens for no one is more than an annoyance — it leaves a property open, traps cars, and on a community gate it lines up residents at the entrance. Gates are the other half of our name: the same crew that repairs garage doors works on sliding gates, swing gates, community entry gates and parking gates, along with the operators, sensors and access devices that run them.
Every gate call starts with the whole system. A gate operator that “died” is often fine — the real fault is a seized wheel, a sagging leaf, a misread loop or a photo-eye knocked out of line. We test the gate by hand first, then the operator, then the safety and access devices, and we explain what failed before any part is replaced.
Photo-eyes out of alignment or fogged, and safety edges that read an obstruction that is not there.
A failed loop detector or a cracked loop in the driveway, so the gate never sees the car — or always sees one.
Hinges, wheels, rollers, guides, rack and chain worn or out of adjustment, making the gate too heavy for its operator.
Control boards, limit settings, capacitors and receivers — often after a power surge or lightning strike nearby.
South Florida is hard on gates. Summer lightning and grid flickers are the most common reason a gate operator board fails, salt air near the coast works on wheels, hinges, racks and chains, and daily summer storms soak photo-eyes, loops and control boxes. Before a hurricane, every gate owner should know how to use the manual release — we show you during the visit.
We release the operator and move the gate by hand to find drag, sag or binding.
Photo-eyes, edges, loops, receivers, keypads and intercom releases checked one at a time.
Worn parts replaced, the gate re-aligned, limits and force set for that gate.
Open and close cycles with remotes, keypad and loops, and the safety reverse tested before we leave.
