Common Gate Automation Issues & Repairs

1. Swing Gate Automation Repair

Swing gate automation systems use motors and control arms to open and close gates efficiently. These systems can experience wear and tear, leading to malfunctions or erratic movement.

Common Swing Gate Automation Problems:

Gate not opening or closing fully.
Hinge misalignment causing strain on motors.
Control board failures preventing remote access.
Obstructed or malfunctioning photo-eye sensors.

Our technicians diagnose and repair actuator arms, motors, and control boards to restore proper swing gate function.

2. Slide Gate Automation Repair

Sliding gates are ideal for properties with limited space or sloped driveways. However, track obstructions, misaligned sensors, and chain issues can cause failures in gate automation.

Common Slide Gate Automation Issues:

Gate moves slowly or reverses unexpectedly.
Photo-eye misalignment preventing gate closure.
Chain stretching or detachment from the motor.
Obstructed tracks causing gate to stick.

We adjust chains, clean tracks, realign sensors, and replace worn motors to ensure smooth and reliable slide gate automation.

3. Ram & Linear Screw Gate Opener Repairs

Ram and linear screw gate openers use actuators to push and pull gates into open and closed positions. These systems require precise alignment and routine maintenance to function properly.

Common Ram & Linear Screw Opener Issues:

Actuator failure leading to a non-responsive gate.
Threaded shaft misalignment causing irregular movement.
Control box malfunctions preventing operation.
Force-sensitive actuators requiring recalibration.

Our team provides precise actuator adjustments, control box diagnostics, and complete system resets to restore functionality.

4. Access Control & Security System Repairs

Many automated gate systems are integrated with keypads, RFID readers, intercoms, and remote controls. When these access control components fail, they can restrict authorized entry and create security risks.

Common Access Control Issues:

Keypads not recognizing PIN codes.
RFID card readers failing to detect credentials.
Intercom systems not transmitting audio.
Remote controls unresponsive or out of sync.

We repair and reprogram access control systems, ensuring seamless and secure gate operation.

5. Gate Safety Sensor & Automation System Failures

Safety sensors and auto-reverse functions are critical for preventing accidents and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Malfunctioning sensors can cause the gate to stop unexpectedly or fail to detect obstructions.

Common Gate Safety Issues:

Photo-eye sensors misaligned or blocked.
Auto-reverse system failing to detect obstructions.
Safety edges not responding to impact.
High wind resistance affecting gate movement.

We inspect, recalibrate, and replace faulty sensors and safety mechanisms to maintain optimal security and safety compliance.

Preventative Maintenance for Gate Automation Systems

Regular maintenance and inspections can prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your automated gate system. Our maintenance services include:

Motor lubrication and belt inspections.
Control board diagnostics and software updates.
Track and hinge alignments for smooth operation.
Battery backup system testing.

Scheduled maintenance helps reduce wear and tear, ensuring that your gate remains functional and reliable.
