Only some automatic gate breakages are immediately evident. Sometimes the wear and tear are subtle and erode the device’s abilities over time. Here are some less obvious signs that you should give our team a call:

• Intermittent functionality. Sometimes the gate opens, sometimes it doesn’t, but you hear the motor spinning either way. This problem can occur for several reasons, from misaligned cogs to damaged parts, receiver issues, or even problems with the gate track.

• Gate doesn’t work, even if you replace your remote’s batteries. When your remote is not the problem, the receiver on the motor is likely malfunctioning. Sometimes the battery replacement solves the issue, but it often doesn’t.

• Your double gate only opens on one side. This problem is less likely to be receiver-based and is probably due to malfunctions with the side of the gate that won’t open.
