Gate Repair Before & After in Orlando, FL

Most gate repair companies talk about what they *can* do. We’d rather show you what we’ve already done. The photos below are from real jobs around Orlando: sagging gates, dead motors, panels that wouldn’t close, openers that quit on the hottest afternoon of July. You’ll see the condition the gate arrived in, what we found once we opened it up, and how it looked when we left. A gate is only as good as the repair behind it, so this page exists to show you ours.

Recent Transformations

Sliding Gate Motor Replacement in Lake Nona

The homeowner’s gate had been creeping slower for weeks until it finally stopped about two feet short of closing. The problem was the chain, not the motor. Years of Florida humidity had rusted the links, and the extra drag had cooked the old actuator. We replaced the chain and sprockets, installed the new motor (the box that slides the gate back and forth), and adjusted the safety edges so the gate reverses properly if a car or a kid crosses its path. Total repair took one afternoon, and the gate now closes fully and quietly.

Bent Gate Panel Straightening in Winter Park

This one came in as an emergency call at 6 a.m. A box truck had caught the edge of a double swing gate and bent the corner panel outward, leaving the gate unable to latch. We pulled the damaged section, worked the steel back to true, and added a reinforcement bar so the repair wouldn’t become a weak point. The gate closed and latched by noon, and the paint match was close enough that the owner said he couldn’t tell where the damage had been.

Ghost Controls Opener Wiring Repair in Dr. Phillips

The gate had been working fine the night before, then wouldn’t respond to the remote at all the next morning. We traced the control wire and found a nest about eight feet from the gate, with the wire chewed clean through. We replaced the damaged section, ran the new line through sealed conduit so it can’t happen again, and verified the photo-eye sensors and the keypad were all talking to the opener. The gate has been opening on command ever since.

Hydraulic Gate Actuator Rebuild in Baldwin Park

A slow leak, you don’t notice until the gate starts moving in jerks or leaving a stain on the driveway. This FAAC swing arm had lost enough fluid that the gate would stall halfway open, then slam shut once pressure built back up. We rebuilt the actuator with new seals and hoses, refilled and bled the system, and adjusted the closing speed. The gate now swings open in one smooth motion and holds steady at the open position.

Solar Gate Opener Battery and Panel Replacement in Windermere

This gate worked on sunny days and went dead every time it rained for two days straight. The battery was five years old and no longer holding a charge, and the solar panel had been shaded out by a line of new palmettos. We replaced the battery with a higher-capacity unit, moved the panel to a spot that gets full sun until late afternoon, and sealed every connection against moisture. The gate now works through a week of Orlando rain without complaint.

Gate Track Replacement in College Park

If you’ve ever pushed a sliding gate that feels like it’s dragging through gravel, you know what this was. The track had rusted through in one spot, and the gate would jerk hard every time the rollers hit the gap. We cut out the old track, set a new one in concrete, and replaced the seized rollers and the guide wheels that keep the gate upright. It rolls open with two fingers now.
