Automatic Gate Repair in Highland Park: what we see

Highland Park was laid out between 1907 and 1924, and its gate work reflects that: ornamental iron on short frontages, estate driveway swing gates, and courtyard gates tucked close to the house. The automation behind those gates has often been in place for decades, so the faults we meet are obsolete control boards, hinge and pivot wear under heavy iron, and posts pulled out of square by the clay. A gate that fails here can block the street, not just a driveway.

Our order of work in Highland Park is mechanical first. We release the operator and swing the gate by hand, looking for a dropped leaf, a dry pivot or a post that has leaned. Then we check the photo eyes, which are easy to knock out of line on a narrow drive, and finally the board and receiver. Where a board is no longer made, we fit a current one behind the existing ironwork. Homes in Lakeside and along Armstrong Parkway see each of these.

Automatic Gate Repair in Highland Park: questions

My Highland Park gate is original to the house. Will automatic gate repair mean changing it?

No. The gate, hinges and posts are separate from the operator, so we can replace a board, an operator or the safety devices without altering the ironwork. Where the hinge or post is the real problem, we repair it in a way that keeps the original leaf, and we tell you plainly if any part of the gate itself needs work.

What should I check before calling about a gate that will not open?

Look at whether the operator has power, whether anything is in front of the photo eyes, and whether the gate moves freely when released by hand. Note any lights or beeps on the control box. That information helps us bring the right parts, though we test everything ourselves once we are there.

Gate Not Working Right Now?

We answer the phone 24/7. If you are stuck, call and we will talk you through the manual release before anyone arrives. See what counts as a gate emergency.
