Automatic Gate Repair — San Fernando Valley
Your automatic gate is supposed to make life easier. When it stops working, we get it running again — usually the same day.
Automatic gates add security and convenience to any home or business — until they stop working. An automatic gate that won't open leaves you locked out; one that won't close leaves you exposed. Real Gate & Garage Door provides expert automatic gate repair throughout the San Fernando Valley, with same-day service available for most calls.
Automatic gate failures have many causes: faulty gate operators (motors), damaged control boards, bad sensors, worn drive systems (chain, belt, or rack), or dead batteries and bad wiring. Our technicians are trained to work on all major automatic gate systems and diagnose the root cause quickly.
We carry the most common replacement parts on our trucks — gate operator circuit boards, drive gears, limit switches, photocell sensors, remote receivers, and more. This means we can often complete your automatic gate repair in a single visit rather than ordering parts and making a return trip.
Whether your automatic gate swings, slides, or folds, whether it runs on AC or solar power, our team has the tools and experience to fix it properly. We serve all of the San Fernando Valley including Woodland Hills, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas, and surrounding cities.
Sometimes repair isn't enough — if your gate is beyond fixing, we'll give you an honest assessment and a fair quote for a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my automatic gate open with the remote?
Common causes include dead batteries in the remote, a bad receiver board in the operator, or a power issue. Our technician will diagnose it in minutes.
My gate opens but won't close — what's wrong?
Usually a sensor issue — a photocell or safety loop is triggered and won't let the gate close. We'll check and clear the obstruction or replace the sensor.
