Types of Electric Gate We Repair
The types of electric gate we repair are sliding gates, swing gates, overhead gates, and barrier arms. The following sections include brief descriptions of each gate, its common issues, and the level of urgency. Cantilever gates are the most challenging gates to fix but don't worry our Los Angeles elite team never gives up on even the toughest of repairs.
Sliding Electric Gate Repair & Installation (Rolling or Cantilever Gates)
Description: These gates move horizontally along a track and make up about 60% of the residential gates we service in Los Angeles.
Common Issues: Track problems, worn rollers, motor malfunctions, and misaligned
safety sensors or limit switches.
Urgency: A derailed gate, non-responsive motor, or gate stuck open needs urgent repair to maintain security. That's why our Los Angeles Automatic Gate Repair Elite
team responds quickly to repair calls, arriving within 1 to 2 hours at your location after you tell us the issue.
Our Solution: We repair or replace damaged tracks, rollers, and motors, then recalibrate limit switches and align sensors to UL 325 standards.
Swing Electric Gates (Single or Double Leaf)
Description: These gates pivot on hinges for a classic look and suit properties with ample driveway space, making up about 30% of our workload.
Common Issues: Sagging gates, broken hinges, and operator arm failures, including hydraulic leaks and motor issues.
Urgency: A malfunctioning swing gate can be hazardous, so we prioritize these for same-day emergency repair.
Our Solution: Our technicians replace hinges, troubleshoot motors, and align gate leaves for secure operation. Only 1 out of 50 swing gate owners we service report needing additional repairs after we get the job done. That's proof of our topnotch workmanship.
Overhead & Vertical Lift Gate Repair
Description: These gates lift vertically like garage doors and are common in commercial settings, making up about 5% of our repairs. But that doesn't
Common Issues: Spring and cable failures, misaligned rollers or tracks, and opener mechanism problems.
Urgency: Spring or cable issues are extremely urgent due to the risk of the gate falling, and repairs require trained professionals.
Our Solution: We safely replace springs and cables with correct sizing and tension, fix track and roller misalignments, and test balance, travel limits, and safety mechanisms. Our team has been Locinox, Nationwide Industries, and D&D Technologies-certified since 2016, so we've had years of hands-on experience getting these automatic gate parts back to working condition.
Commercial Barrier Arm & Traffic Control Repair
Description: These gates use a pivoting arm for rapid vehicle access control in parking lots and commercial entries.
Common Issues: Motor or gearbox failure from high cycle counts, arm damage from impact, and malfunctioning loop detectors or control systems.
Urgency: High, since a non-operational arm causes traffic disruption, revenue loss, and security compromise.
Our Solution: We service or replace motors, gearboxes, and damaged arms, and troubleshoot loop detectors and control systems to restore reliable operation. Just in 2024, we serviced 12 commercial barrier arms within the Monterey Park Business Center. Los Angeles Automatic Gate Repair Elite keeps businesses secure to prevent losses.
