If your automatic gate stops mid-cycle, won't latch, or refuses to move, the cause is usually a stuck operator, drained battery backup, blocked safety beam, or a worn limit switch. We diagnose the root cause on site and walk you through the fix before any work begins.

Dead remotes, an unresponsive control board, blown capacitor, or motor fault are common reasons an opener stops responding. We test the board, capacitors, transformer, and wiring to pinpoint and replace only what's needed.
We reprogram remotes, replace keypad batteries and weather-damaged keypads, and reset rolling codes. If your remotes worked before and suddenly don't, the receiver or antenna is often the real culprit.
Misaligned photo-eyes, dirty lenses, or cut sensor wires will stop a gate from closing. We realign, clean, replace, and re-terminate sensors so the gate stays UL-compliant and safe.
If your free-exit loop or shadow loop is failing — cars not detected, gate stuck open, false triggers — we test the loop, the detector module, and the loop wire integrity in the pavement.

Bent arms, leaking hydraulic operators, snapped hinges, and binding ground-mount actuators are all repairs we handle for residential and estate swing gates.
Worn gears, slipping clutch, broken chains, damaged V-track or rollers — sliding gates need precise alignment to run quietly and reliably. We rebuild and re-tension on site.
When a gate sags, drags, or stops latching, the hinges, post, or frame need adjustment or reinforcement. We level, shim, and weld where needed.
Tripped breakers, shorted control boards, lightning damage, water in conduits, and bad transformers are common. We trace the line back to its source and replace only the failed component.
From single-family driveway gates in San Rafael and Mill Valley to apartment community gates and warehouse sliders across Marin County, we handle both residential and commercial automatic gate repair.
