Safety First: Why You Should Not Attempt DIY Gate Repairs
It is important to understand that automatic gates operate under significant mechanical tension. The springs, cables, and arms that move your gate are under high pressure. Attempting to adjust or repair these components without the proper training and tools can lead to serious injury or property damage. If your gate has fallen off its track, if the chain is loose, or if you hear a grinding noise from the motor, do not attempt to force the gate open or closed. Please leave the heavy lifting to our trained technicians. We are equipped to handle high-tension components safely and correctly.

Common Gate Problems We Solve
Over the last 42 years, we have seen every type of gate failure imaginable. Many of these issues are preventable with regular maintenance, but when they do happen, they require a specific approach to ensure they do not return.
Gate Will Not Open or Close
If your gate has stopped moving, the issue is often electrical or mechanical. It could be a failed capacitor in the motor, a tripped circuit breaker, or a logic board that has lost its programming. Our technicians perform a full diagnostic to determine if the problem is in the motor, the wiring, or the gate structure itself. We do not guess. We trace the power and the signal to find the exact point of failure.
Gate Makes Grinding or Squealing Noises
Noise is often the first sign of a mechanical issue. If you hear grinding, it usually indicates that the gears inside your motor are worn or that the hinges are binding. In the Portland area, moisture can cause debris to build up in the tracks, which puts extra strain on the motor. We can clean, lubricate, and adjust your gate to stop the noise and prevent premature motor failure.
Remote or Keypad Is Not Working
Sometimes the gate is fine, but the access control is the problem. If your remote is not communicating with the gate, or if your keypad has stopped accepting codes, we can help. We are trained on nine major automation brands, including LiftMaster and DoorKing, so we can troubleshoot the frequency issues, battery problems, or wiring faults that cause these systems to fail. We can also help you upgrade to modern, secure entry systems if your existing hardware is outdated.

What Our Customers Say
"A hydraulic arm was leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned the stain as best he could, and it has been dry since."
- Erin Sutton"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
- Veronica Ramirez"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales
