Radio Receiver – Electric Gate Repair

Electric gate radio receiver is responsible for receiving wireless signals from the remote control and operating a slide/swing/barrier gate opener to close/open and allow access for traffic. These units can be built-in within the opener box and can come with an extension antenna for longer range; sometimes they are installed externally if the opener requires it.

The radio receiver is a vital piece for all electric and automatic gate operations, without it it will become frustrating and time consuming to open the gate, making the electric gate useless if no external way is available.

Control Board – Electric Gate Repair

The electric gate control board comes pre-installed within the gate opener and acts as the thinking ‘brain’ for all gate opener programming and operations. This is the main unit that is responsible for making your electric gate function (it is essentially the motherboard of a computer). If your control board burns out, your gate opener will fail to function, leaving your electric gate in closed/open state.

Our company is able to diagnose the issues, order new parts, and have them professionally installed and programmed. Call for our signature Electric Gate Repair service.

Safety is very important to all electric gates and the magnetic limit switch is a great way to prevent any problems that may happen during the gate operation.

Exit Safety Reverse Loop – Electric Gate Repair

The electric gate exit safety reverse loops are underground wired weight detection system that is responsible for prevention of electric gate movement when an object is present in an area of access and probability of damage. These sensors are usually installed under concrete or asphalt and designed to detect heavy objects such as cars and trucks.
