What we see on FAAC gates in Allen

Allen’s custom estate segment, growing toward Lucas and Parker on the eastern edge, is where hydraulic FAAC operators make most sense: heavy ornamental iron swing leaves on longer drives. Much of the gate equipment in Allen is now fifteen to twenty years old, and a FAAC of that age typically shows it through the hydraulics. Seals harden, fluid seeps from the ram or release valve, and pump pressure drops, so the gate slows, stops short or no longer holds closed against wind.

We pressure test first, then replace seals, refill and bleed the system, and set pressure so the leaf closes with the right force. Once the hydraulics are sound, we check the 455 D board, limits and safety loops. On in-ground 770 units, we clear the box drain and check for water. The 400 and 422 surface arms are serviced on site. Whether the gate is in Star Creek, Twin Creeks or on an estate east toward Lucas, replacement only comes up when the ram or housing is physically damaged.

FAAC gate repair in Allen: questions

Our FAAC estate gate in Allen will not hold shut in strong wind. Why?

A hydraulic FAAC holds the gate closed using pressure, and when seals wear or fluid drops, the leaf can be pushed open by wind. Large ornamental iron leaves catch more wind than people expect. We check fluid, seals and pressure settings, and confirm the gate has a positive stop so the operator is not holding it alone.

Do you carry FAAC seal kits and boards?

We carry seal kits, hydraulic fluid and the common FAAC control boards, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. Less common parts can be ordered, and we tell you before starting if that is likely. Send us the model number from the label if you have it, as it helps us prepare.
