Electric Gate Repair in University Park: what we see

Rebuilding is constant in University Park, and every rebuild disturbs the ground around a gate. Trenching for new utilities, irrigation and hardscape is how buried gate wiring gets nicked or cut, and on a tight lot the cable often runs right under the work. On new installs the wiring is fresh but sometimes rushed: splices left unsealed, a transformer sharing a circuit it should not, a vehicle loop cut too close to a slide gate track. On older properties the cable has simply aged in clay that wets and dries every season.

We start at the supply and work outward: incoming power and breaker, transformer output, board input, then each low-voltage run, loop and sensor lead in turn, with continuity and insulation tested rather than assumed. Thunderstorm surges can take out a board, a receiver and a loop detector together, so we test each one separately and add surge protection where it was left out. We work on electric gates across the 75205 and 75225 zip codes, including Caruth Hills and University Heights.

Electric Gate Repair in University Park: questions

Our neighbor’s rebuild started and now our electric gate is acting up. Could that be connected?

It can be. Excavation, trenching and heavy equipment near a property line are a common way for buried gate wiring or a vehicle loop to be damaged, even when nothing looks disturbed on your side. We test the circuit run by run to locate any break, then repair or replace that section rather than rewiring the whole gate.

Do electric gates need surge protection?

It is worth having. North Texas storms put surges into supply lines and long low-voltage runs, and a gate board is an exposed, sensitive target. Protection on the incoming supply and on the loop and keypad leads is a small addition compared with the board it saves. If your gate has none, we can fit it while we are already working on the system.
