Common Automatic Gate Problems & Repairs
1. Worn-Out Gate Hinges
For swing gates, hinges endure constant wear and tear. Over time, they can become loose, misaligned, or rusted, causing the gate to malfunction.
Signs of Worn Hinges:
- Squeaking or grinding noises when opening or closing.
- Gate does not swing smoothly or gets stuck.
- Excessive resistance when manually opening the gate.
We provide hinge lubrication, realignment, and replacements to restore smooth gate operation.
2. Sensor & Safety System Malfunctions
Automatic gates rely on safety sensors, exit loops, and photocells to function correctly. A faulty sensor can cause the gate to stop unexpectedly or fail to open/close properly.
Common Sensor Issues:
- Gate reverses before fully closing.
- Gate won’t close due to sensor misalignment.
- Broken antenna or damaged safety loops preventing operation.
Our technicians inspect, adjust, and replace faulty sensors to ensure proper functionality and safety.
3. Gate Arm Alignment Issues
The gate arm is a critical part of an automatic swing gate system. If misaligned, it can cause the gate to operate erratically, make unusual noises, or fail completely.
Gate Arm Problems:
- Gate opens unevenly or does not fully close.
- Clicking, grinding, or resistance when moving the gate.
- Visible damage or misalignment in the actuator arm.
We realign, repair, and replace gate arms to ensure smooth and balanced movement.
4. Automatic Gate Tracks & Obstructions
For sliding gates, the track must remain clear and level to avoid operational issues. Dirt, debris, and misalignment can cause the gate to get stuck or move unevenly.
Common Track Issues:
- Gate gets stuck or moves unevenly.
- Debris buildup causing motor strain.
- Damaged or bent tracks preventing smooth operation.
We provide track realignment, cleaning, and repairs to ensure your automatic gate moves smoothly.
5. Automatic Gate Opener & Motor Issues
The motor and opener system are essential for an automatic gate to function properly. If these components fail, your gate may move too slowly, struggle to open, or not respond at all.
Gate Opener & Motor Problems:
- Gate activates but doesn’t move.
- Slow or jerky movement when opening/closing.
- Undersized motor struggling with heavy gates.
We diagnose motor failures, faulty wiring, and opener mismatches, offering replacement and repair solutions to restore function.
