    FAAC has built automatic gate operators in Bologna, Italy since 1965 and is best known for hydraulic swing operators that are self-locking and built for heavy gates and frequent daily use. FAAC also makes electromechanical and 24V battery-backup operators for swing and slide gates. Automatic Gate Masters installs, programs, and repairs the FAAC line across the Bay Area.

    FAAC is a strong choice when you want a durable, Italian-built operator, especially the hydraulic swing units for heavy or estate gates. We match the right FAAC model to your gate, install and program it, and set up the safety system, and we also repair and reprogram existing FAAC operators, control boards, and battery backups. For the full range of brands, see our automatic gate openers service, or compare with LiftMaster and Viking operators. Having a problem with your gate now? See our FAAC gate opener troubleshooting guide for the E024S and E124 boards.

    Every operator has to be a safe operator. FAAC's US-market operators are built to meet UL 325, the US safety standard for opening, reversing, and entrapment protection. On every install we set up the photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse, cycle the gate, and confirm the safety system works before we leave.

    Why FAAC

    What sets FAAC operators apart

    The reasons owners and property managers choose FAAC.

    Hydraulic and self-locking

    FAAC hydraulic swing operators hold the gate closed on their own, with no separate electric lock, and run quietly under heavy use.

    Built for heavy, high-cycle gates

    The 400 and the underground S800H are made for long or heavy leaves and frequent daily cycles, common at estates and busy entrances.

    24V battery backup options

    Models like the C721 slide operator run on 24V with battery backup and automatic obstacle reversing, so the gate keeps working in a power outage.

    Made in Italy since 1965

    A long track record in residential, condominium, and industrial gate automation, with a full range of swing and slide operators.

    FAAC gate opener FAQ

    Does Automatic Gate Masters install and service FAAC gate operators?
    Yes. We install, program, and repair FAAC automatic gate operators across the Bay Area, both swing models like the hydraulic S800H and 400 and slide models like the C721 and 844, on residential, estate, HOA, and commercial gates.
    What is FAAC known for?
    FAAC has built gate automation in Bologna, Italy since 1965 and is best known for hydraulic swing operators. Their hydraulic operators are self-locking, which holds the gate closed without a separate electric lock, and they are built for heavy leaves and frequent daily use. FAAC also makes electromechanical and 24V battery-backup operators.
    What is the difference between a hydraulic and an electromechanical FAAC operator?
    A hydraulic FAAC operator, like the 400 or the underground S800H, uses an oil circuit that is self-locking and well suited to heavy leaves and high cycle counts. An electromechanical FAAC operator, like the C721 and 844 slide, uses a motor and gear drive and is a lighter, often lower-cost option. We help you pick the right one for your gate on a free site visit.
    Which FAAC operator is right for my gate?
    It depends on whether your gate swings or slides, the leaf length and weight, how often it cycles, and whether you want visible or concealed hardware. Heavy or estate swing gates often use the hydraulic 400 or the underground S800H; sliding gates use the C721 or the commercial 844. We size the operator to your gate.
    Do FAAC operators meet UL 325 safety standards?
    FAAC's US-market gate operators are built to meet UL 325, the US safety standard for automated gate systems. On every install we set up the photo-eye safety sensors and auto-reverse, cycle the gate, and confirm the safety system works before we leave, as UL 325 requires.
    Can you replace another brand's operator with a FAAC, or repair my existing FAAC?
    Both. We can retrofit a FAAC operator onto most existing gates, and we repair and reprogram FAAC operators, control boards, and 24V battery backups. FAAC also acquired Viking Access Systems, so we service both lines.
