Gate repair in Lavon

Lavon was Thompson Switch before it was Lavon, named for the postmaster’s son, and the reservoir beside it took the town’s name rather than the other way round. For most of its life it was a handful of people on farmland.

What it is now is a town in the middle of changing: new subdivisions with community entrances going in along SH 78, while a few hundred yards away are acreage properties whose gates have been in place for decades. That mixture within a very small area is the practical challenge.

The new installations fail the way new things do — commissioning settings describing ground that has since moved — and the old ones fail the way old things do, on parts that are no longer made. Both are routine on their own.

What is unusual about Lavon is meeting both on one short road, which is why we ask how old the gate is before we ask what it is doing.

Getting to you

We usually run in via SH 78, FM 6, FM 1378, Main Street.

We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You get a real arrival window when you call, and a message when the technician is on the way.

Operators we repair

Gate Operator Brands We Repair

We fix the operators nobody else wants to touch. Most gate companies replace the whole operator because diagnosing it is harder than selling you a new one. We repair control boards, limit switches, hydraulic pumps and gearboxes on all of these — and every tile below is a photograph of that manufacturer’s equipment, not a logo.

Lavon gate repair questions

Our gate came with a new house here and is already playing up. Is that normal?

On new plots, fairly. Made ground settles for the first few years, so the driveway and posts the gate was commissioned against have moved slightly since. Re-learning the travel and rechecking the force against the gate as it now sits usually sorts it, without parts.

Our gate is old and the maker has gone. Is it a write-off?

Not usually. Even where an operator is genuinely unsupported, the posts, hinges and gate almost always have years left, so fitting a current operator to the existing installation is far cheaper than starting again. We will tell you honestly which of the two situations you are in before you commit to anything.
