Automatic Gate Repair in Plano: what we see

Plano has a large stock of automated gates installed in the 1990s and 2000s, and most of the repairs we see follow from that age: control boards that stop answering remotes, limit settings that have drifted, and batteries on DC operators that no longer carry the gate through a power cut. A gate that opens but will not close is very often a photo-eye problem rather than a motor problem, especially where sprinklers and landscaping crews work close to the sensors.

North Texas clay also plays a part. The soil around Plano swells after heavy rain and shrinks in the summer heat, which moves gate posts and hinge columns over time. A swing gate that has started to bind or a slide gate that drags on its track can strain an operator until it trips on overload. We check the gate moves freely by hand before we touch the electronics, so a mechanical fault does not get billed as an electrical one.

Automatic Gate Repair in Plano: questions

My automatic gate in Plano stopped working after a storm. What usually fails?

Spring storms in Collin County bring power surges and lightning, and the control board is the part that takes the hit. We test the board, the fuses and the power supply, then check the loop detectors and receiver, since those are also exposed. Often one surge-damaged component is the whole repair.

Do you repair automatic gates for Plano HOAs as well as homes?

Yes. Community gates run far more cycles per day than a driveway gate, so we look at wear parts such as rollers, hinges and chains as well as the operator itself, and we can work with the management company on access and timing so residents are not locked in or out.

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.
