Common Electric Gate Problems & Repairs
1. Power Supply & Electrical Issues
A faulty power source is one of the most common reasons an electric gate fails. Electrical problems can cause intermittent operation, slow response times, or total failure.
Signs of Power Supply Issues:
- Gate does not open or close.
- Intermittent function or delayed response.
- Burnt or damaged wiring.
- Circuit board failure or blown fuses.
Our technicians inspect the wiring, circuit boards, and power connections, ensuring your gate’s electrical system is properly repaired and maintained.
2. Remote Control & Keypad Malfunctions
A malfunctioning remote control or keypad can leave you locked out or unable to control your gate properly.
Common Remote & Keypad Issues:
- Unresponsive remote or keypad.
- Lost or broken remote control units.
- Gate failing to recognize access codes.
- Dead batteries in remotes or keypads.
We provide remote replacements, reprogramming, and keypad repairs to restore convenient access to your electric gate.
3. Battery & Backup Power Failures
Many electric gates operate on battery-powered openers or have backup power systems to function during power outages. If the batteries fail, your gate may not operate correctly.
Battery-Related Problems:
- Gate won’t open or close after a power outage.
- Batteries draining too quickly.
- Failure of solar-powered gate systems.
We replace and test gate opener batteries and offer backup power solutions to keep your gate operational in any situation.
4. Gate Opener & Motor Repairs
The gate opener motor is responsible for moving your electric gate smoothly. If it fails, your gate may move slowly, stop working, or make unusual noises.
Common Gate Motor Issues:
- Gate moving slower than usual.
- Grinding or clicking sounds.
- Gate stops mid-cycle or won’t fully open/close.
- Complete motor failure.
We diagnose motor issues and repair or replace faulty gate openers to restore functionality.
5. Safety Sensor & Auto-Reverse Malfunctions
Modern electric gates have safety sensors to prevent accidents and unauthorized entry. If these sensors fail, your gate may not function properly or could pose a safety risk.
Sensor Issues Include:
- Gate won’t close due to sensor obstruction.
- Gate reverses unexpectedly.
- Malfunctioning auto-reverse system.
We clean, adjust, and replace faulty sensors to keep your electric gate safe and compliant with industry standards.
