Safety and Maintenance
Automatic gates move with significant force. If your gate is not stopping when it encounters an obstruction, or if you hear grinding sounds from the operator, please stop using the system immediately. High-tension cables and powerful motors can cause serious injury if they fail unexpectedly. Do not attempt to adjust springs or internal electrical components yourself. These systems require a trained professional to ensure the safety sensors are correctly calibrated to meet current standards. Call us at (833) 754-7503 to have a qualified technician inspect your system.

What Our Customers Say
"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"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
- Layla Haddad"The photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that a sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
