Electric Gate Repair — San Fernando Valley
Electric gate not responding? We diagnose and repair all electric gate systems — motors, wiring, control boards, and sensors.
Electric gates give your property the ultimate combination of security and convenience. When an electrical fault stops your gate from working, you need a technician who understands both the mechanical and electrical sides of the system. Real Gate & Garage Door provides expert electric gate repair throughout the San Fernando Valley.
Electric gate faults are often harder to diagnose than mechanical ones because the failure can be anywhere in the chain: the power supply, transformer, control board, motor, wiring harness, sensors, or remote system. Our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the fault quickly rather than swapping parts at random.
Common electric gate problems we repair include: gate that doesn't respond to remote or keypad, gate that runs in one direction only, gate that stops mid-cycle, intermittent operation (works sometimes, not others), gate that moves slowly or makes grinding noises, and gate that triggers the breaker.
We work with all major electric gate operator brands including LiftMaster, Viking, FAAC, All-O-Matic, Elite, Linear, and DoorKing. Whether your gate is residential or commercial, single-phase or three-phase, we have the expertise to repair it correctly.
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
My electric gate works randomly — sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn't. What's wrong?
Intermittent faults often point to a loose wire connection, failing control board, or marginal power supply. Our diagnostics will identify the exact cause.
Can you repair solar-powered electric gates?
Yes. We service solar gate systems including panel cleaning, battery replacement, charge controller repair, and operator service.
My gate is stuck open and I can't close it manually — what should I do?
Call us immediately for emergency service. A gate stuck open is a security issue. Most operators have a manual release — we can talk you through it over the phone while en route.
