Electric Gate Repair in Plano: what we see

Many electric gates in Plano neighborhoods were wired when the homes were built, with low-voltage runs buried along driveways and under pavers. Twenty years on, those runs get cut by irrigation repairs, chewed, or corroded at splices that were never sealed. A gate that works some days and not others often has a failing splice or a loose terminal rather than a bad motor, and we test continuity before replacing anything.

Surge damage is the other common Plano call. The city sees regular thunderstorms from March through June, and a nearby strike can take out a control board, a receiver and a loop detector at once. We check each part separately so you only pay for what failed, and we can add surge protection on the supply and the loop leads where the original installer left it out.

Electric Gate Repair in Plano: questions

My electric gate has power but does nothing. Where do you start?

With the inputs. If the board has power but ignores the remote, keypad and push button, we look at the receiver, the safety inputs and any stuck command, because a shorted wire or a blocked photo-eye can lock out every other signal. Board failure is the conclusion once those are ruled out, not the starting guess.

Can you repair the buried wiring to my gate without tearing up my driveway?

Often, yes. We locate the break first, and where the old conduit is still intact we can pull new wire through it. Where it is not, we look for the shortest route along the edge of the drive or landscaping before suggesting any cutting.

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.
