Gate Repair

Gate Repair

When your gate stops working, it is more than just an inconvenience; it is a breach in the security of your property. At Ironworks Gate Co., we understand that a gate is the first impression of your home and the first line of defense for your family. We specialize in diagnosing and fixing gate systems that other companies deem too difficult or too old to repair. Whether it is a snapped chain, a failing control board, or a gate that simply refuses to latch, our technicians arrive with the parts and the training to secure your driveway in a single visit. We don’t believe in quick patches that fail after a few weeks. We believe in fixing the root cause so you can go back to relying on your equipment every single day.

What’s Included

Every gate system relies on a delicate balance of mechanical tension and electrical precision. When one component falters, the entire system often grinds to a halt. We evaluate the whole system, not just the symptom, to ensure your repair lasts.

Gate Opener and Motor Repair

If your gate motor is humming but not moving, or if it has stopped responding entirely, we start by testing the power supply and the control board. We are certified to service nine major automation brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Our team identifies if the issue is a faulty capacitor, a burnt-out circuit board, or a gear assembly failure, and we provide a fixed price for the repair before we touch a single bolt.

Safety Sensor and Photo-Eye Alignment

Modern gates are designed with safety sensors that prevent the gate from closing on an obstruction. If your gate stops halfway or reverses unexpectedly, these sensors are often the culprit. We clean, realign, and test these photo-eyes to ensure they are communicating clearly with the control box. We never bypass these safety features, as they are critical for protecting your family and your vehicles.

Hinge, Roller, and Track Maintenance

Heavy iron gates place immense stress on hinges and rollers. Over time, the constant weight causes sagging, which puts additional strain on the motor and can lead to a complete system failure. We inspect the structural integrity of your gate, replacing worn rollers, lubricating hinges, and ensuring the track is free of debris. If your gate is dragging or grinding, we address the alignment issues immediately to prevent permanent damage to the motor assembly.

Gate Latch and Lock Troubleshooting

A gate that won’t lock is a security risk. We repair sticking latches, misaligned strikes, and faulty magnetic locks. We ensure your gate closes firmly every time, preventing wind damage and unauthorized access. If your latching mechanism is beyond repair, we install high-quality, durable replacements that match the aesthetic of your existing gate.
