Gates We Repair
Because gates combine moving parts, weight, and safety devices, faults can have more than one cause. Therefore, we check both the mechanical and electrical side before replacing parts.
- Automatic swing gates: rams, underground operators, brackets, hinges, stops and alignment
- Automatic sliding gates: tracked and cantilever systems, rack & pinion motors, rollers and guides
- Manual gates: hinges, drops, catches, wheels, posts, latches and welding repairs
- Gate safety: photocells, safety edges, loops, emergency stops, force settings
- Access control: intercoms, GSM diallers, keypads, fobs/remotes, receivers
- Power & control: control boards, power supplies, batteries, transformers, cabling faults
Also, if you are unsure what you have, we can identify the system on site. We work with most major automation brands including CAME, BFT, FAAC, NICE, Beninca and LiftMaster.

Faults & Diagnostics
Why does my automatic gate stop and reverse?
This is often caused by safety devices triggering, incorrect force settings, or resistance in the movement.
Therefore, we test the safety circuit first.
Then we check for resistance and alignment.
After that, we reset settings safely if needed.
Can you repair a gate that’s dropped, dragging, or catching?
Yes.
We check hinges, posts, stops and alignment first.
Then we repair or re-align so the gate travels smoothly.
As a result, the motor isn’t overloaded and faults reduce.
Do you repair gates stuck open or stuck closed?
Yes.
First, we make the system safe.
Then we restore access.
Finally, we repair the underlying fault so it doesn’t keep happening.
Do you fix intercom and keypad problems too?
Yes.
We trace the release circuit and check power supplies.
In addition, we confirm relay settings and test for wiring faults or water ingress.
We also troubleshoot GSM signal and range issues.
Which gate brands do you repair?
We work on most major automation brands.
For example: CAME, BFT, FAAC, NICE, Beninca and LiftMaster.
If you don’t know the brand, we’ll identify it on site.
Safety, Servicing & Compliance
Do you check gate safety during a repair?
Yes.
Because electric gates are powerful machines, we check key safety inputs as part of diagnosis.
This includes photocells, safety edges (if fitted), and basic force behaviour.
If we find a safety issue, we explain it and quote the correct fix.
Can you upgrade safety devices during a repair?
Yes.
If we find safety gaps or failed devices, we can quote to upgrade photocells, safety edges, loops, signage and force testing.
As a result, you get safer operation and fewer nuisance faults.
Is servicing worth it if my gate “mostly works”?
Yes.
Servicing reduces breakdowns and helps keep safety devices working correctly.
In addition, it often prevents expensive failures like motor damage caused by resistance or water ingress.
