Gate repair in Richardson

Richardson is a mature city and the gates reflect that — most of the residential equipment we see here was installed in the 1990s or early 2000s and is still perfectly serviceable. The common calls are control boards, receivers and limit switches, all of which are still readily available for this generation of equipment.

Along the US-75 and CityLine corridor it shifts to corporate controlled access, where the fault is usually in the reader or controller rather than the gate itself. The thing worth knowing if you own a gate in Canyon Creek, Prairie Creek or Breckinridge is that age alone is not a reason to replace an operator.

A twenty-five-year-old unit is often assumed to be beyond help when in most cases it simply needs a board and a set of limit switches. The mechanical side of these operators was built to last, and the parts that fail are the cheap ones.

We will tell you honestly when a unit really has reached the end.

Operators we repair

We Fix the Operators Nobody Else Wants to Touch

Most gate companies replace the whole operator because diagnosing it is harder than selling you a new one. We repair control boards, limit switches, hydraulic pumps and gearboxes on all of these — and every tile below is a photograph of that manufacturer’s equipment, not a logo.

Richardson gate repair questions

My remote stopped working but the keypad still opens the gate. What is wrong?

Almost always the receiver or the remote itself rather than the operator. It is one of the quickest and least expensive repairs we do, and it does not require replacing anything mechanical.
