Common Automatic Gate Problems
Most automatic gate trouble falls into two groups: the gate itself, and what moves it.
The gate won't open or close. The opener or operator may have stopped working, or something in the gate's path or hardware is stopping it.
The gate moves partway, then stops. A gate that sticks, drags or has shifted out of line can strain the opener.
The gate sags or drags. Posts that lean in Fort Bend's shifting clay soil, or worn hinges and hardware, can pull a gate out of line.
Storm or impact damage. Wind, falling limbs and vehicles can bend a gate or knock it out of alignment.
Power or control problems. Gates can stop responding after storms or electrical problems.
