Gate Component Repair and Replacement

Our comprehensive component repair and replacement services address the most common issues affecting automatic gates in Downtown Santa Ana. We maintain a fully-stocked service fleet with over 90% of commonly needed parts, allowing same-day repairs

for most issues.

Motor and Opener 

Gate motors and openers are the heart of any automatic gate system. When these components fail, your entire gate becomes inoperable. We offer expert diagnosis and repair of all major gate motor brands, with all replacement parts carrying manufacturer warranties.

Motor burnout often occurs due to power surges, age, or overuse. Our technicians can quickly determine if repair is possible or if a complete Gate Motor Replacement is necessary using diagnostic tools that measure electrical load and performance metrics. For issues with grinding noises or slow operation, we provide Gate Opener Gear Replacement services using precision-machined metal gears rather than plastic alternatives.

Sensor, Keypad, and Remote 

Safety sensors, keypads, and remotes form the control and security systems of your automatic gate. Our certified technicians are factory-trained on all major brands and carry advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly identify issues.

Remote control problems often stem from programming issues, battery failure, or signal interference. Our Gate Remote Programming service restores functionality to existing remotes or sets up new ones using secure rolling-code technology. We can typically complete this during the same service visit.

Gate Wheels, Tracks, and Hinges

Physical components like wheels, tracks, and hinges bear the weight of your gate and facilitate smooth movement. All our replacement hardware features corrosion-resistant coatings specifically selected for coastal climate conditions.

Gate wheel replacement becomes necessary when you notice grinding noises or irregular gate movement. We stock wheels compatible with all common gate models in Santa Ana, using only sealed bearing wheels with nylon treads that won't mark decorative surfaces.

Track issues typically manifest as gate binding or derailment. Our gate track alignment service corrects bent or misaligned tracks using specialized tools that ensure precise adjustment.
