Safety Warning: Gate Systems
Automatic gates are heavy machinery. They operate under high torque and, in many cases, utilize high-tension springs or counterweights that can cause severe injury if mishandled. If your gate has stopped moving, has come off its hinges, or is making a grinding noise, please do not attempt to force it open or closed manually, and do not attempt to disassemble the motor housing. Gate motors contain electrical components and capacitors that retain a charge even when the power is disconnected. For your safety, please keep children and pets away from the gate area and call a trained professional to manage the repair.

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
