What we see on All-O-Matic gates in McKinney

In McKinney an All-O-Matic is usually doing heavy work: a slide gate at a neighborhood entrance in Stonebridge Ranch, or a swing operator on an older estate gate toward the rural edge. Those older properties bring post movement, and a post that has shifted makes the gate harder to push. On an SL-150 the gearbox clutch then slips, and on an SL-100 the electronic reversing device stops the gate and sends it back. Owners read that as a broken operator. More often the operator is protecting itself from a gate that has started to bind.

The fix starts with moving the gate by hand. If it drags, we deal with the post, hinge or track before adjusting anything on the operator, because tightening a clutch to force a binding gate through only hides the problem. After that the usual work is limit drift, a stretched chain riding high on the sprocket, or a relay on the control board. Parts are easy to get, since All-O-Matic is still in production. Around Eldorado and Trinity Falls that means a repair rather than a new operator in nearly every case.

All-O-Matic gate repair in McKinney: questions

Our McKinney estate gate stalls halfway and reverses. Is the All-O-Matic failing?

Usually it is working as designed. A swing gate hung on a post that has moved, which is common on McKinney’s rural-edge lots, takes more force to move, and the SW-300 or SW-350 torque limiter lets go before the operator is damaged. We check the gate by hand, correct the post or hinges, then reset the limiter and the limits. Turning the force up without fixing the gate just moves the failure somewhere else.

Is it worth keeping an old All-O-Matic on our community gate?

Often, yes. These operators run for decades with basic servicing, and the parts that wear, meaning chains, sprockets, limit nuts and boards, are still made. What we look at is gearbox condition and how many cycles the entrance now runs each day. If the gearbox is sound, a service and a few parts usually beat a new operator by a wide margin, and we will show you why.
