We’ve Seen It Before

Gate Problems We Fix Every Day

If your gate is doing one of these, you’re not looking at a mystery — you’re looking at a part with a name and a price.

Gate Stuck Open

The failure that actually matters: the property you gated is now unsecured, and it stays that way until someone fixes it. Usually a dead operator, a failed control board, or a safety loop reading a phantom vehicle.

Motor Hums, Gate Doesn’t Move

Power is reaching the operator but nothing turns. On a slide gate that is usually a sheared drive gear, a stretched or jumped chain, or a failed capacitor — not a dead motor, and not a replacement.

Gate Off Its Track

A slide gate has jumped the guide rollers or the V-track is packed with grit and debris. Keep cycling it and you bend the frame, which turns a roller job into a welding job. Stop using it and call.

Keypad or Remote Stopped Working

Nine times out of ten this is the access control, not the gate: a dead keypad backboard, a corroded terminal, a failed receiver, or a telephone-entry unit that lost its programming. Often a same-visit fix.

Gate Motor Replacement

When the gearbox is worn, the enclosure has been holed by hail, or the operator predates current safety standards. Sized to your gate's actual weight and duty cycle, not to whatever was there before.

Sliding Gate Off Track

Gates that have jumped the guide, bind halfway, or grind along the track. Rollers, V-track, guide posts and bent frames put back into line before the damage compounds.

Learn More →

Keypads, Intercoms & Access Control

Keypads, telephone entry, intercoms, card readers, buried loop detectors and remotes. The half of a gate system that isn't the gate — and the half that fails most often.

Why Choose Us

Why Plano Property Owners Call Us First

National franchises route your call to a dispatcher three states away and subcontract the work. We’re here, and the person answering knows the difference between an Allen community entry and an acreage swing gate out past Wylie.

Upfront, Honest Pricing

You approve the number before a wrench comes out. No surprise add-ons at the end, and we tell you when a repair will hold instead of selling you an operator.

Parts Stocked on the Truck

Common boards, gears, capacitors, rollers and hinges ride with us. Most repairs finish in one visit instead of "we'll order the part."

Residential, HOA & Commercial

A home drive gate, a community entry with two hundred residents on transponders, and a warehouse yard gate are three different machines. We work on all three.

Built for North Texas Conditions

Blackland Prairie clay walks posts out of plumb, hail cracks keypads and photo eyes, and an ice storm can mean days without power. We spec sealed enclosures, corrosion-resistant hardware and battery backup that actually opens the gate.

On-Site Diagnosis

The tech tests the operator, the track or hinges, the safety devices and the access control, then shows you exactly what failed before quoting anything.

FAQ

Common Questions About Gate Repair

My gate is stuck open. How fast can someone come out?
Tell us that when you call, because it changes the priority. A gate stuck open means the property you gated is unsecured until it is fixed, and we treat it that way. Most calls placed before 2pm get same-day service.
The motor hums but the gate doesn't move. Is the motor dead?
Almost certainly not. A hum means the motor is powered and trying to turn, so the fault is usually mechanical or a single component — a sheared drive gear, a chain that has jumped its sprocket, or a failed start capacitor. Those are repairs, not replacements. A genuinely dead motor is silent.
Why does my gate open but refuse to close?
That pattern almost always points at a safety input rather than the gate. Most operators are designed to refuse to close — while still allowing opening — when a photo eye or a buried loop reports something under the gate. A damaged loop or a fogged photo eye produces exactly this symptom, and both are far cheaper than anything involving the operator.
Do you work on gates and operators you didn't install?
Yes — most of our work is on equipment somebody else installed, often years ago. We service the major operator brands. Where a unit is genuinely obsolete and boards are no longer made, we say so plainly and price both options rather than quietly steering you to the bigger job.
Should I repair my gate operator or replace it?
It depends on what failed. A capacitor, gear kit, limit switch or single board on an otherwise sound operator is worth repairing and usually far cheaper. Replacement starts making sense when the gearbox itself is worn, when the unit has been submerged, when it predates current entrapment-protection standards, or when you are on the third repair in a year.
How does my gate open when the power is out?
Every operator has a manual release that disconnects the motor so the gate can be moved by hand — know where yours is and make sure you can reach it from the side you would be stuck on. A battery backup will keep the gate running normally for a number of cycles, which matters here: an ice storm can put an outage into days rather than hours.
Why do gate posts keep going out of plumb in Plano?
Blackland Prairie clay. It expands when saturated and contracts when it dries, and North Texas delivers both extremes in the same year — a wet spring, then an August drought. That cycle walks a post a fraction out of vertical at a time until a swing gate starts dragging. The lasting fix is a correctly sized footing, not re-hanging the gate on a post that will move again.
Are automatic gates required to have safety sensors?
Automatic gate operators are covered by entrapment-protection standards (UL 325), and any current operator is built around them — photo eyes or edge sensors plus inherent force sensing. If your gate has none, adding them is not an upsell: the operator's own listing assumes they are there, and a gate is the heaviest powered thing on most properties, moving where cars and children are.
