Why Repair & Maintain Your Gate?
Proactive care makes a big difference in how long your gate lasts and how well it performs. Here’s why staying on top of repairs and maintenance matters:
Safety
A gate that won’t stop when it should can be dangerous. Fixing sensors, hinges, and motors keeps your family, pets, and vehicles safe.
Security
Broken locks, latches, or openers leave your property vulnerable. Timely repairs ensure your gate continues to protect your home, ranch, or business.
Performance & Reliability
A well-maintained gate opens and closes smoothly every time. Regular service helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, false stops, and system errors.
Longevity
Small issues like rust, worn rollers, or loose bolts can shorten a gate’s lifespan. Consistent maintenance extends your gate’s life and protects your investment.
Cost Efficiency
Early repairs and tune-ups are far cheaper than replacing a motor, panel, or entire gate system later. Preventive care saves you money in the long run.
Convenience
There’s nothing worse than being stuck behind a gate that won’t move. Regular upkeep ensures your gate responds quickly and reliably—day or night.
Common Gate Problems & Repairs
Gates can develop a range of issues depending on usage, design, and environment. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and fix all types of gate systems, including:
Gate Won’t Open or Close
Power failures, remote issues, faulty control boards, or damaged motors can stop your gate from working. We find the cause and repair or replace the necessary parts to restore full function.
Sagging or Misaligned Gates
Heavy gates may sag, lean, or drag on the ground over time. We reinforce posts, replace hinges, and realign gates to ensure smooth, balanced movement.
Noisy or Jerky Operation
Grinding, squeaking, or jerky motion often signals worn rollers, dry hinges, or debris in the track. We lubricate, clean, and replace parts to eliminate noise and prevent further wear.
Sensor & Safety Issues
If your gate doesn’t stop when something’s in its path—or stops randomly—the sensors may be dirty, misaligned, or malfunctioning. We clean, recalibrate, or replace safety sensors for reliable operation.
Access Control Malfunctions
Keypads, intercoms, and card readers can fail due to weather, wiring problems, or outdated components. We repair and upgrade access systems to keep your entry secure and convenient.
Rust, Corrosion & Wear
Exposure to the Texas sun and weather can cause metal gates to rust or corrode. We sand, treat, and repaint problem areas—or replace affected parts—to restore your gate’s appearance and strength.
