Swing Gate Operator Replacement in Preston Hollow

BeforeAfter

The problem: a swing gate that had been sagging for months finally stopped responding to the remote. The articulating arm had stripped its internal gear, and the control board was throwing a fault code the homeowner couldn’t clear. We removed the failed operator, installed a new LiftMaster swing operator matched to the gate’s weight and length, and re-set the limit switches so the gate stops exactly at the post instead of slamming into it. The result: a gate that swings smooth and quiet, with no more grinding metal on metal.

Slide Gate Track Repair in Mesquite

BeforeAfter

This cantilever slide gate had chewed up its rollers and was dragging across the concrete, throwing the chain off the sprocket every third cycle. The track had settled unevenly thanks to Dallas clay soil that shifts with every wet-dry season. We pulled the gate, installed new heavy-duty rollers, re-leveled the track with proper shims, and tensioned the chain. The gate now glides instead of shudders, and the homeowner stopped finding the gate stuck halfway open at 6 a.m.

Gate Motor Burnout Repair in Lake Highlands

BeforeAfter

The problem: a FAAC motor that had been working hard against a misaligned gate for years finally gave out. The windings were fried, and the capacitor had swollen to twice its normal size. We replaced the motor, corrected the gate alignment that caused the strain in the first place, and checked the loop detector so the gate wasn’t cycling unnecessarily. The homeowner got a motor that isn’t fighting the gate on every single stroke.

Broken Hinge and Weld Repair in Oak Cliff

An ornamental iron gate in Oak Cliff had a top hinge that sheared clean through, leaving the gate hanging by its bottom hinge and the lock rod. Every time the wind pushed it, the whole thing twisted. We removed the gate, welded a reinforced hinge plate in place of the broken one, straightened the frame, and re-hung it so it sat level. A repaint matched the original finish well enough that you can’t spot the repair from the street.

Ghost Controls Retrofit for a Farm Gate in Seagoville

This property had a manual tube gate across a gravel drive that the owner wanted automated without running conduit across 40 feet of caliche. We installed a Ghost Controls solar-compatible operator with a keypad and two remotes, set the force sensitivity so it stops if a dog runs under it, and tested the auto-close timer. The owner went from climbing out of the truck twice a day to pressing a button from the cab.

Gate Safety Edge and Loop Detector Upgrade in Richardson

The problem: an older slide gate with no safety edge and a loop detector that only worked when a car sat perfectly centered. It had already bumped a delivery van once. We added a pressure-sensitive safety edge along the leading edge of the gate and replaced the loop detector with a properly tuned unit. Now the gate reverses on contact and opens reliably when a vehicle approaches from either direction. This is the kind of job where the before photo doesn’t look scary and the after photo just looks like a gate, but the safety difference is enormous.
