Apollo Gate Repair in Southlake, TX

Apollo operators, now sold under Nice, are low-power 12V units, and in Southlake they turn up on lighter swing gates, side gates and rear access gates rather than the heaviest estate iron. That is where they work well. Trouble starts when an Apollo is asked to move more than it was chosen for, such as a leaf that gained decorative panels, or one whose hinge post has leaned in the clay. The board reads the extra current as an obstruction, and the gate moves a few feet, stops and reverses.

The usual repair is a battery, a solar panel cleaned or repositioned, a board, or an actuator with a bent extension tube. On a 1650 the second actuator’s cable crosses the drive, and a spliced cable there is a common source of intermittent faults. Apollo boards also need to relearn after losing power. Around Coventry Manor and the streets off FM 1709 Southlake Blvd, we check the hinges too, because an Apollo gate opener repair is wasted if the gate still binds.
