Automatic gate repair is the diagnosis and repair of the powered parts of a gate, the operator or motor, the control board, the safety sensors, and the access controls, along with the mechanical parts like hinges, posts, rollers, track, and welds that let the gate move. The goal is a gate that opens, closes, and reverses safely on its own.
Los Altos Hills is a town of large lots, long private driveways, and shared entry lanes, so a dead gate can strand a car a long way from the road and block an emergency vehicle. We repair every part of an estate gate here: gate openers, control boards, safety sensors, battery backups, and the metalwork itself, and we cover the wider Santa Clara County area. If a gate is past saving, we also handle automatic gate installation in Los Altos Hills.

Gate problems we fix in Los Altos Hills
These are the failures we see most often on hillside estates and long driveways.
Gate will not open or close
A tripped safety sensor, a failed board, a worn motor, or power lost on a long driveway run. We find the real cause and get you moving again.
Settled posts and dragging leaves
Hillside soil moves. Posts lean, a swing leaf drops and scrapes, a slide gate binds. We reset, realign, and reweld so it closes level again.
Dead battery backup or no power
Outages are common up here. If the backup battery, charger, or solar panel has quit, the gate stops when the power does. We repair or replace it.
Sensors, remotes, and the entry keypad
Oak leaves, dust, and landscape crews knock photo-eyes out of line. Remotes stop, keypads die, intercoms go quiet. We realign, reprogram, or replace.
