Common Gate Operator Problems
Recognize these symptoms? We can fix them today.
Motor Buzzing But Not Moving
Operator hums or buzzes but gate doesn't open. Usually a capacitor, gearbox, or obstruction issue.
Remote Control Not Working
Transmitter doesn't trigger gate. Could be dead batteries, receiver board, or antenna problems.
Gate Opens But Won't Close
Safety sensor misalignment or photoelectric eye obstruction preventing closure.
Gate Reverses Immediately
Starts to close then opens again. Usually force limit settings or sensor calibration.
Intermittent Operation
Works sometimes, not others. Often electrical connections, control board, or power supply issues.
Complete Power Failure
No lights, no response. Could be transformer, circuit breaker, or wiring damage.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Try these before calling (but call if unsure!)
Check Power Supply
Verify control box has power. Look for indicator lights. Check circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Test Remote Batteries
Replace batteries in all transmitters. LED should flash when button pressed.
Inspect Safety Sensors
Clean photoelectric eyes. Ensure they're aligned and LEDs are solid (not blinking).
Check for Obstructions
Look for debris in gate track. Ensure nothing is blocking gate movement or sensor beam.
Manual Release Test
Disengage operator and manually move gate. If it's hard to push, there's a mechanical issue.
Safety Warning
Never attempt to repair gate operator control boards, motors, or wiring unless you're a licensed electrician. Gate operators use high voltage and powerful motors that can cause serious injury. Call a professional.
