Gate Opener Repair in Waco, TX


Your gate opener is the heart of your automatic gate system—responsible for every open, close, and stop command. Over time, motors wear out, sensors fail, or electronics short due to weather exposure. That’s where we come in.

We service and repair all major brands and models of swing gate and sliding gate openers, including LiftMaster, USAutomatic, Ghost Controls, Viking, DoorKing, All-O-Matic, and more.

Whether your gate is powered by AC, DC, or solar, we carry the tools, diagnostic equipment, and parts to fix it quickly. From residential driveways to commercial entry systems and ranch properties, we make sure your opener performs safely and reliably.

Common Gate Opener Problems We Repair

Automatic gate systems can fail for a variety of reasons—electrical, mechanical, or environmental. Our technicians are trained to troubleshoot and fix all common issues, including:

Gate Won’t Respond to Remote or Keypad

Dead remotes, faulty receivers, or programming errors can disrupt communication. We reprogram devices, replace components, and restore full control.

Opener Motor Burnout or Overheating

Motors can fail due to age, heavy use, or debris in the mechanism. We test the motor, wiring, and capacitors—replacing parts as needed for smooth operation.

Control Board or Wiring Damage

Lightning strikes, water intrusion, or short circuits often damage the main control board. We inspect all electrical connections and install weather-resistant replacements.

Safety Sensor & Limit Switch Malfunctions

Sensors that are dirty or misaligned can cause your gate to stop or reverse unexpectedly. We clean, realign, or replace sensors and adjust travel limits.

Gearbox, Chain, or Arm Failures

Mechanical parts wear out over time. We repair or replace damaged gears, chains, and arms to restore reliable motion and alignment.

Battery & Power Supply Issues

If your system runs on backup or solar power, a weak or dead battery can prevent operation. We test and replace batteries, check solar charge controllers, and verify proper voltage.

Our Repair Process

Every gate opener repair starts with a systematic inspection to ensure nothing is overlooked:

1. Assessment & Diagnostics

We begin with a full inspection of your gate operator, sensors, remotes, and control board to pinpoint the exact cause of failure. This detailed assessment helps us identify both immediate issues and any developing problems that could lead to future downtime.

2. Transparent Quote

Once we know what’s wrong, we provide a clear, upfront estimate before any work begins. You’ll understand the repair options, parts involved, and total cost—no hidden fees or surprise charges.

3. Expert Repairs

Our technicians carry replacement motors, gears, circuit boards, and electronic components for most major brands. We complete most repairs during the first visit, restoring smooth and reliable operation as quickly as possible.

4. Testing & Calibration

After the repairs are done, we run multiple open and close cycles to ensure everything operates perfectly. We also test remotes, keypads, and sensors, fine-tuning travel limits and sensitivity for consistent, quiet performance.

5. Maintenance Recommendations

Before leaving, we review what caused the issue and provide expert advice on preventing it from recurring. For long-term reliability, we can also set you up with a maintenance plan that keeps your opener serviced, lubricated, and properly adjusted year-round.
