Automated Gate Repair
A gate that won't open, moves erratically, or fails its safety sensors is more than an inconvenience - it's a security risk. We diagnose and repair automated gates across Metro Vancouver, fast.
What Is Automated Gate Repair?
Automated gate repair is the diagnosis and fix of an existing motorized gate system that has stopped working or is no longer performing the way it should. It covers the full system - the operator motor, the safety sensors and photo-eyes, the track and rollers on a sliding gate, the hinges and arms on a swing gate, and the control board that ties it all together. At Capital Gates, our technicians service and repair automated gates we installed as well as many systems put in by others, carrying common motors, sensors, and control boards on our service vehicles so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
When Is Gate Repair Necessary?
Call for repair the moment your gate stops behaving reliably. The most common signs are a gate that won't open or close, one that moves slowly or stops partway, a motor that strains or makes grinding and clicking noises, safety sensors that fail to reverse the gate, or a remote, keypad, or intercom that has stopped responding. Storm and weather damage - a knocked post, a bent track, or water in the operator - also calls for a service visit. Left alone, a small fault can strain the motor and turn into a far more expensive failure, so it pays to book a repair as soon as the symptoms appear.
What Is Required for a Repair?
A repair visit needs site access to the gate and operator, and - if you know it - the make and model of the existing opener so we can bring the right parts on the first trip. Most motors, sensors, and control boards are stocked on our service vehicles; occasionally a specific replacement part needs a short lead time, which we'll confirm up front. We diagnose the fault, explain exactly what failed and why, and give you a clear quote before any work begins. We also offer scheduled maintenance to catch wear early and keep your gate running reliably year after year.
