Common Residential Gate Repair Issues

1. Structural Damage & Impact Repairs

Residential gates often suffer damage due to vehicle collisions, weather conditions, or daily wear and tear. When a gate is bent or misaligned, it can cause mechanical failures and compromise security.

Signs Your Residential Gate Needs Structural Repairs:

  • Bent or misaligned frame affecting gate movement.
  • Damaged hinges or support posts.
  • Rust or corrosion weakening metal components.

We provide on-site welding repairs and structural reinforcements to restore your gate’s integrity without needing full replacement whenever possible.

2. Automatic Gate Opener & Motor Failures

A malfunctioning gate opener or motor can prevent your gate from opening or closing properly, leading to security concerns and traffic delays at your facility.

Common Gate Opener Problems:

  • Motor struggles to move heavy residential gates.
  • Intermittent or unresponsive remote controls/keypads.
  • Clicking or grinding noises from the motor.
  • Gate opens partially but stops midway.

We troubleshoot and repair gate opener malfunctions, ensuring that your automatic gate operates smoothly and efficiently.

3. Safety Sensor & Access Control Issues

Residential gates must comply with safety regulations and be equipped with working sensors, exit loops, and keypads. If these systems fail, they can create security vulnerabilities and access issues.

Common Sensor & Access Control Problems:

  • Faulty safety loops preventing the gate from closing.
  • Misaligned or broken photo eye sensors.
  • Keypad or intercom system not recognizing access codes.
  • Security system integration issues.

Our team provides track realignment, debris clearing, and roller replacements to keep your residential gate functioning flawlessly.
