Automatic Gate Opener Repair That Will Last For Years!

What’s more convenient than electric gates? You simply press a button or enter a code and the gate opens. If there are loop detectors, you won’t have to do that either. You simply drive in and out without lifting a finger. And then there is the great comfort access control systems offer. There are simple intercoms, phone entry systems, surveillance cameras – you name it. You can use high tech systems not only to gain access yourself but also screen visitors. But as it happens with all automatic systems, the gate opener and control devices wear. This can happen naturally not to mention their wear due to their outdoor installation. In either case, you will need automatic gate opener repair. Gate Repair Sun Valley will further answer any questions you have!

Each gate needs a different opener, but all openers need repairs

Brands make openers for each gate type. USAutomatic presents The Patriot AC operator for swing gates up to 16 feet and 650 lbs. and The Patriot opener for sliding gates up to 32 feet and 650 lbs. But it also offers The Ranger unit for much smaller swing gates of 13 feet and 400 lbs. All-O-Matic offers choices for all gate types with both AC and DC motors which include a DC opener with a backup battery for overhead gates. Liftmaster provides solutions for residential, industrial, commercial and maximum security locations with light and heavy duty motors.

From DKS to Eagle and Ramset, every brand makes a variety of openers for each gate type. And that’s the main difference among openers. The weight, type, and size of the gate are the main determinants of opener selection. But the application and number of cycles also play a vital role. One more thing all big brands have in common is that they make openers with reliable sensing systems. And what all openers share is their need for services. Apart from proper opener installation, it’s also vital to check and service these systems often. Automatic gate opener repair is a must not just for fixing a certain problem, which might cause an inconvenience, but mainly for safety purposes.

When driveway gates fail to close well, the first thing you think about is your security. And you are right. A place is not secure when the gate doesn’t close. Anyone could walk in. The question though is what caused the gate to remain open. If the problem has to do with the sensors, there won’t be any protection while you are using the gate. It might close on you. Entrapments were the reason for enhancing openers with several sensing systems in the first place. Now that openers have what they need in order to provide protection, all you have to do is call our team when the system doesn’t work properly. We cover urgent automatic gate opener repair needs 24/7.

Don’t forget that your security gates are electric. Any problem with the system might lead to serious considerations about one’s safety. Condensation in the control box might cause a short. Failure to take care of the drainage system when you install an in-ground motor will cause complications.  The safety loops along with the photo eyes and edge sensors must be able to stop and reverse the gate for the avoidance of car damage and entrapments. So their proper installation is your number one concern.
