Emergency Gate Repair in Dallas: what we see

In Dallas a gate emergency can mean a car trapped behind an estate gate in Preston Hollow, a resident locked out late at night, or an apartment or office entrance stuck open with no security. Vehicle strikes are a known hazard at busy multi-family and commercial gates, where a car or truck catches a leaf or a barrier arm. Spring thunderstorms bring surge damage that leaves a gate dead, and high winds can bend leaves or push slide gates off their tracks.

Traffic on US-75 and I-35E makes travel across Dallas unpredictable, so we give you an honest arrival window on the phone and advise on the manual release if it is safe to use. On arrival we secure the opening or free the gate, which may mean releasing and chaining it or disconnecting a damaged operator. Then we assess the gate, operator, safety devices and access control, and quote the permanent repair. After a vehicle strike we photograph and document the damage for insurance.

Emergency Gate Repair in Dallas: questions

A car hit our Dallas apartment entrance gate. What should we do first?

Keep people clear, because a damaged gate can fall or move unexpectedly, and turn off operator power if it is safe. Photograph the damage and note the vehicle details. Call us and we will secure the entrance, then assess the gate frame, hinges or track, operator and safety devices, and document everything for insurance.

My gate is stuck closed with my car inside. How can I get out?

Most operators have a manual release, a key or lever on the operator or arm, that disengages the drive so the gate can be pushed by hand. Check the owner’s manual or the label on the operator. If you cannot find it or the gate is damaged, do not force it. Call us any time, day or night.

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.
