Gates We Repair
Because gates can be manual or automated, faults can have more than one cause. Therefore, we check both the electrical and mechanical side.
- Electric gates: swing and sliding automation repairs and fault finding
- Manual gates: hinges, dropped gates, latches, locks and alignment
- Metal gates: welding, reinforcement, hinge repairs and post movement
- Wooden gates: sagging, bracing, hinge pull-out and latch alignment
- Access control: intercoms, GSM diallers, keypads, fobs/remotes, receivers
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.

When a gate fails, it can be frustrating. However, the symptoms often point to a clear cause. That’s why we diagnose before changing parts.

Gate dragging or droppedHinge wear, post movement, frame sag, ground changes.
