Common Gate Motor Problems We Fix
If your gate isn’t responding, stuck halfway, or making strange noises, don’t panic—we can help. These are some of the most common gate motor issues we repair:
Gate Motor Not Opening or Closing
Often caused by faulty limit switches, wiring problems, or burnt-out motors. We’ll test and diagnose your system accurately and fix what’s needed—no upselling, just honest repairs.
Flat or Faulty Battery
A flat backup battery can cause your gate to stop working completely during a power outage. We supply and install high-quality 12V gate batteries and check your charger to make sure it’s all running smoothly.
Electrical Issues
Blown fuses, damaged circuit boards, or power surges can knock out your gate motor. We inspect your control panel and wiring thoroughly before replacing any components.
Gearbox Problems
The gearbox can wear down or seize, especially on older gate motors. We stock replacement gearboxes for most brands and will swap it out quickly and cleanly.
Physical Obstruction
Sand, insects, or debris inside the motor housing can affect performance. We clean and reset your unit and check all moving parts.
Remote or Sensor Issues
If your gate responds inconsistently, the problem might be with the remote, antenna, or safety beams. We repair and replace sensors, remotes, and receivers on site.
Gate Motor Installations & Replacements
Sometimes, a gate motor is beyond repair—especially if it’s very old, water-damaged, or burned out. In those cases, we’ll guide you through the replacement process.
We’ll:
- Recommend the best motor for your gate size and usage
- Supply top-quality products from Centurion, ET, or Gemini
- Install and test the new system
- Program remotes and safety beams
- Give you clear instructions and warranty info
We offer competitive pricing on new installations and always keep your needs and budget in mind.
Sliding Gate vs. Swing Gate Repairs
Our team is fully trained to work on both sliding and swing gate motors.
Sliding Gates:
- Tracks need to be clean and level
- Wheels and rack teeth must be aligned
- Motors like Centurion D5 and Gemini Slider are common
- Ideal for limited space and higher traffic
Swing Gates:
- Hinges and arms require maintenance
- Hydraulic or mechanical problems are common
- Often used for residential properties
- Require proper alignment and balance
We don’t guess—we test, adjust, and repair your system professionally.
