When Is a Gate Problem an Emergency?
Call us right away when your gate puts people, vehicles, or property at risk. Some problems can wait for a regular visit. Others cannot.
Gate stuck open
Your property is exposed, pets can run out, and the gate cannot lock for the night.
Gate stuck closed
You cannot leave or get home. Delivery drivers and emergency vehicles cannot get in.
A vehicle hit the gate
Bent frames, broken hinges, and damaged arms can fall or swing without warning.
Storm damage
Texas wind, hail, and flooding can bend panels, shift posts, and short out electrical parts.
Power outage lockout
The backup battery may be dead, and the manual release may not work.
Smoke or burning smell
Sparks or a burning smell from the opener mean you should turn off the power and call us.
Gate closes on people or cars
The safety sensors may have failed. Stop using the gate right away.
Forced entry
A damaged lock or latch needs a fast fix to secure your property.
Not sure if your problem counts? Call anyway. We will tell you if it needs urgent service or can wait for a regular appointment. Non-urgent problems fit our gate repair services.
What to Do Before We Arrive
Follow these steps while you wait for your technician.
- Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the gate.
- Stop using the gate. Do not force a motorized gate by hand.
- Turn off power to the opener if you see smoke, sparks, or smell burning. Use the switch or breaker. Do not touch bare wires.
- Use the manual release only if the gate is stuck and you know how. Most openers have a release lever or key. Check your owner’s manual first. If the gate is bent or heavy, wait for us.
- Take photos of the damage and note the time it failed. Photos help if a car or a storm caused the problem.
- Write down any sounds, flashing lights, or error codes. Tell us when you call.
- Move vehicles away from the gate path.

We inspect and explain
We check the operator, power, safety sensors, hinges, track, rollers, and wiring. You hear the cause and your options before work starts.
We repair and test
We fix the problem and run full open and close cycles. We test the safety sensors and auto-reverse. We show you the manual release.

Emergency Repair vs. Scheduled Gate Service
Book a regular visit early
Most emergencies start small. A noisy motor, a slow gate, or a weak remote often warns you first. Our gate maintenance service helps you avoid a midnight breakdown.
Repair or replace?
Some gates fail again and again. Repeated repairs add up. Gate replacement may be the better choice, and your technician can tell you when a repair no longer makes sense.

How fast can you get to my gate?
We offer same-day service. Your arrival time depends on your location, traffic, weather, and call volume. We give you a time window when you call.
What should I do if my gate is stuck open?
Keep people and pets away from the gate. Do not force it. Check your manual for a release lever or key, and use it only if it is safe. Then call us at (512) 957-4708.
What if my gate is stuck closed and I cannot leave?
Use the manual release if your opener has one. Most gates have a lever or key release. If the release does not work or the gate looks bent, stop and call us. Forcing the gate can cause more damage.
Can you repair a gate that a car hit?
Yes. We repair bent frames, broken hinges, damaged arms, and opener parts. We can weld or replace parts as needed. Take photos of the damage before you call. They help if you file an insurance claim.
Which gate brands do you repair?
We repair LiftMaster, Viking, DoorKing, Apollo, Elite, FAAC, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, Linear, Chamberlain, and US Automatic openers. Call us if your brand is not on the list.
Do you fix gates after a storm or power outage?
Yes. Storms can bend panels, wet the electronics, and drain backup batteries. We inspect the whole system, repair the damage, and test the gate before we leave.
Do you repair both residential and commercial gates?
Yes. We serve homeowners, HOAs, apartment communities, and businesses. See our commercial gate repair page for property managers.
