Basic systems with standard features start around $3,500, while custom designs with premium materials and advanced access control systems can exceed $12,000. Factors affecting cost include gate size and material (aluminum, wrought iron, wood), operator type, access control systems (keypads, card readers, phone entry), safety features, site preparation requirements, and electrical work needed.
How soon can you fix a swing gate that won't close properly?
We can typically repair swing gates that won't close properly within 24-48 hours of your call. Emergency repairs are available with same-day service for situations affecting security or access. Our technicians arrive with common replacement parts and components to resolve most issues in a single visit. After diagnosing the problem, we can provide a repair timeline based on the specific issue—many common problems like sensor adjustments, track obstructions, or limit switch resets can be fixed on the spot.
How long does automatic swing gate installation take?
Automatic swing gate installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on complexity. Basic residential installations can often be completed in 1-2 days. Commercial installations or complex projects with extensive groundwork may require 3-5 days. The timeline includes: site preparation (1/2-1 day), gate post installation and concrete setting (may require 24-hour curing time), gate mounting (1/2 day), operator and access control installation (1/2-1 day), and testing/programming (1/2 day). Weather conditions or unexpected site issues may extend the timeline.
What causes automatic swing gates to malfunction?
Common causes of automatic swing gate malfunctions include: electrical issues (power outages, circuit problems, faulty wiring), motor or operator failure, misaligned photocell sensors, damaged hinges or brackets, obstruction in the gate path, weather damage (water infiltration, corrosion), limit switch problems, improper gate balance or alignment, radio interference with remote controls, software/programming errors, and lack of regular maintenance (lubrication, adjustments). Environmental factors like excessive dirt, debris, or vegetation growth can also impede proper operation.
How long do automatic swing gate operators typically last?
Automatic swing gate operators typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. High-quality commercial operators may last 15-20 years in normal conditions. Factors affecting lifespan include: installation quality, usage frequency (residential vs. commercial), environmental exposure (rain, extreme temperatures), maintenance regularity, gate weight and balance, and manufacturer quality. Regular maintenance—including lubrication, cleaning, checking electrical connections, and adjusting settings—can significantly extend operator life. Most manufacturers recommend professional servicing every 6-12 months to prevent premature failure.
