Types of Automatic Gates


Automatic gates come in several configurations to suit different property types and security needs in Long Beach's diverse neighborhoods. Our certified technicians install and repair all major varieties of automatic gates throughout the city.


Sliding Gates


Sliding gates move horizontally along a track, perfect for properties with limited space. These gates slide parallel to your fence or wall, making them ideal for sloped driveways or areas where swing space is restricted. With Long Beach's varied topography, sliding gates often provide practical solutions. Our sliding gate repairs include track realignment, roller replacement, and chain system overhauls with marine-grade components that resist coastal corrosion.


Swing Gates


Single or double swing gates operate like traditional doors, pivoting on hinges. We often recommend these for residential properties with ample space and flat driveways. In Long Beach's Mediterranean climate with only 12.02 inches of annual rainfall, our heavy-duty swing gate hardware requires minimal weather-related maintenance. Our technicians specialize in hydraulic arm adjustments and underground operator repairs that other companies often can't handle.


Vertical Lift Gates


These gates move straight up and down, requiring minimal horizontal space. Vertical lift gates work well in commercial settings with height clearance and properties where ground space is limited. They're particularly popular near the Port of Long Beach, the second busiest container port in the United States, where we provide 24/7 industrial-grade service with our commercial division's specialized equipment.


Bi-Folding Gates


Bi-folding gates consist of panels that fold together as they open, similar to an accordion. These gates offer a good balance between space efficiency and security. As leading bi-fold gate specialists for Long Beach's dense urban neighborhoods, our technicians are factory-certified on complex articulating systems and high-security commercial applications.


Common Automatic Gate Issues


Our team resolves numerous gate problems throughout Long Beach with our high first-visit fix rate. With summer temperatures often reaching into the 80s and occasional marine layer fog affecting electronic

components, our technicians are specially trained for coastal environmental challenges.


Gate Won't Open or Close


The most frequent issue we see is gates that refuse to open or close properly. This can stem from several causes:


  • Dead batteries in remote controls
  • Misaligned safety sensors
  • Faulty control boards
  • Power supply problems (more common during peak electricity usage periods)


Our certified technicians conduct comprehensive diagnostics using professional-grade testing equipment to pinpoint the exact cause of malfunction. With our high same-day repair success rate, we've earned Long Beach customers' trust for resolving these issues efficiently.


Motor Problems


Gate motors can develop issues over time due to regular wear and tear. In Long Beach's coastal environment, where the humidity levels average 67.4% annually, motors require special maintenance.


Signs of motor problems include:


  • Unusual noises during operation
  • Slow or jerky movement
  • Complete motor failure
  • Burning smell when operating


We stock factory-authorized replacement motors for all major brands, allowing our certified technicians to complete most motor replacements in a single visit. Our parts come with industry-leading warranties that exceed manufacturer standards.


Track and Wheel Issues


Sliding gates often experience problems with their tracks and wheels, particularly in areas closer to the beach where salt air can accelerate corrosion:


  • Debris buildup in tracks
  • Worn or damaged wheels
  • Misaligned tracks
  • Bent or damaged rails


Our specialized track cleaning and lubrication service uses proprietary marine-grade compounds developed specifically for Long Beach's coastal environment. We're the only gate company in the area using stainless steel reinforcement techniques for extended track life.


Electronic Components


Electronic failures are a common source of gate malfunctions. Long Beach's unique climate can impact sensitive electronics. Our certified electronic specialists repair:


  • Circuit board failures using component-level repair techniques
  • Sensor malfunctions with precision calibration equipment
  • Wiring issues utilizing waterproof connections exceeding marine standards
  • Remote control system problems with our exclusive diagnostic software
