What you are dealing with
Your FAAC operator is slow, leaking, opening partway, or has stopped — and finding someone in Dallas who works on hydraulics has not been straightforward.
FAAC units are designed to be serviced. Seals, fluid, pressure and boards are all replaceable, and replacement of the whole operator is genuinely necessary only when the housing or ram is physically damaged.
About this operator
FAAC builds hydraulic gate operators — the 400, 402, 750 and 844 lines among them — used on residential estates, gated communities and commercial entrances across the Metroplex.
Hydraulics are why these operators last, and also why they get misdiagnosed. Gate work in Dallas is overwhelmingly chain-drive and screw-drive, so a hydraulic unit sits outside what many technicians carry parts and training for. Pressure, fluid condition and seal integrity are measurable things, and measuring them is what separates a repair from a replacement quote.
Common faults we see
Slow or incomplete travel
Typically pressure loss. Measurable, and usually a seal or fluid issue rather than a failed unit.
Visible fluid leak
Seal failure. Seals are replaceable parts; a leaking FAAC is not a scrapped FAAC.
Gate drifts or will not hold position
Internal valve or pressure fault. Diagnosable with the right instruments.
Control board failure
Often after a surge. A board is replaceable without touching the hydraulics.
Limit and encoder drift
The gate stops in the wrong place. Frequently mistaken for something far more serious.
Noisy pump
Fluid level, fluid condition or pump wear. Worth diagnosing early.

(214) 735-4314How we repair it
Confirm it is hydraulic
It sounds obvious. It is also the step that most often has not been taken before a replacement gets quoted.
Measure pressure and inspect fluid
Pressure under load and fluid condition tell us most of what we need to know.
Check seals and ram
Seals are serviceable. A damaged housing or ram is the one case where replacement is genuinely the answer.
Test the board and limits
The electrical side is diagnosed separately from the hydraulic side.
Quote the repair, not the replacement
You get the diagnosis and the price before any work starts.
Why choose Shield Gate Repair
We diagnose before we quote
The gate gets moved by hand before anything electrical is tested. Worn rollers, hinges and posts produce faults that read as a failed operator.
Repair first
Boards, capacitors, limits, batteries and gearboxes are replaceable parts on nearly every operator still supported by its manufacturer.

Questions we get asked
I was told my FAAC cannot be repaired. Is that true?
Almost never. FAAC units are designed to be serviced: seals, fluid, pressure and boards are all replaceable. Replacement genuinely makes sense only when the housing or ram is physically damaged. If you have been told otherwise, ask which specific component was tested and found faulty.
Do you actually work on hydraulics?
Yes. It is one of the reasons customers call us — hydraulic operators need different diagnostics, different parts and different training to a chain drive, and we have the instruments to measure rather than guess.
Can you get FAAC parts in Dallas?
Yes. FAAC is less common here than LiftMaster, so some parts are ordered rather than carried on every truck, and we confirm availability before quoting a repair.
Is a leaking FAAC worth repairing?
Usually, yes. A leak means a seal, and seals are a serviceable part. The expensive components — the housing, the ram, the motor — are typically fine.
