Questions and Answers

What causes electric gates to fail most often in Minneapolis winters?

The main cause is moisture freezing in the track or around the gate’s motor and hinges. Snow and ice can block sensors, and road salt can corrode electrical connections. This leads to gates sticking, moving slowly, or not opening at all.

How do I know if my gate’s motor needs repair or replacement?

Signs include grinding noises, the gate moving in jerky motions, or the motor running but the gate not moving. If the gate stops halfway or reverses for no reason, the motor or its control board may be damaged. We can diagnose the exact issue during a service visit.

Can you fix a gate that was damaged by a snowplow or ice buildup?

Yes. We repair bent tracks, broken brackets, and misaligned panels caused by snowplow impacts or heavy ice. We also clear frozen debris from the track and lubricate moving parts to prevent future sticking. Our solution gets your gate working smoothly again.
