Automatic Gate Opener Repair in Roseville
The gate operator is the motor and control box that moves your gate. It lives outdoors through 100-degree summers, winter rain, sprinklers and ants, so it takes more punishment than almost anything else on the property.

What we check
Power comes first: breaker, transformer, batteries and solar panel. Then the control board, motor, limit switches and wiring. Insects and moisture in the control box cause a large share of board failures, and worn batteries are the most common reason a gate that worked yesterday is dead this morning.
We also check the safety devices. If a photo eye is dirty, out of line or failed, the operator will refuse to close the gate, which is the system working as designed.
Repair or replace?
Many operators can be brought back with a new board, battery or motor. When the unit is very old, undersized for the gate, or parts are no longer made, a new operator is the better use of your money, and we will explain why before you decide.
Gate Opener Repair questions
Which gate opener brands do you service?
We work on the common residential and commercial brands, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking and Mighty Mule, and we can usually source parts for others.
Why does my gate open but not close?
Most often a safety photo eye is blocked, dirty or misaligned, so the operator will not risk closing. A stuck exit sensor or a timer setting can also hold the gate open.
Will my gate work in a power outage?
Only if the operator has battery backup and the batteries are healthy. We can test or replace the batteries, or add backup to many systems.
