Gate Doctor

What is your gate doing?

Pick the symptom. You get the likely cause, what you can safely check yourself, and whether it needs a technician.

Reverses or won't close

Try this first

Likely cause

Photo eyes are blocked, dirty or knocked out of line. It's the most common call we get.

Check yourself

1. Wipe both photo-eye lenses.
2. Clear plants, bins or snow from the beam.
3. Check that both eyes face each other and show a steady light.

Typical fix

Realign or replace the safety sensors and test obstruction response.

Still stuck? Most repairs are done the same day.

Send a tech

Based on the repairs our techs do most often. Never open the operator cover or touch wiring yourself.

What we check

Eight things we test on every repair call.

A gate rarely fails for just one reason. We test the whole system so the fix lasts.

Power and wiringSupply voltage, breakers, surge damage and loose connections.
Control boardInputs, outputs, fuses and settings.
Motor and gearboxNoise, heat, wear and how smoothly it drives the gate.
Limits and forceWhere the gate stops and how hard it pushes.
Safety devicesPhoto eyes, edges and auto-reverse.
Hinges, rollers, trackAnything that makes the gate drag or bind.
BatteriesCharge, age and backup run time.
Access controlRemotes, keypads, intercoms, loops and receivers.

Repair or replace?

When a repair makes sense, and when it does not.

We price both when it is close, so you can decide with real numbers.

What we repair

Every part of the gate. Any brand.

Electric gates are motors, control boards, safety sensors and moving parts working together. When one fails the whole gate stops, so we find the real fault, not just the symptom.

Motor and operator repair

We repair and replace failed gate motors on swing and sliding driveway gates: motor testing, operator replacement and recalibration, so the gate moves smoothly and consistently again.

Chris Fenison

This company gave us very reasonable quote on a new gate. Logan was very helpful.

Taylor Farrell

Logan was quick and super informative! He went above and beyond to make sure we were good to go

Rickreall Mini-Storage

Talked Dean, he installed a new gate motor and I had an issue just today, he called back within minutes and help me resolved this. Awesome! We always will use Dean with all our Safe Haven products. Thank You Dean

Berkeley Vogelheim

They did great, reliable work at a fair price. Great communication too which was very appreciated.

Larry Siegle

amazing service! thank you Logan for quickly resolving this nagging problem. A great service!!

David Sharpe

This company did a fantastic job on replacing our VERY inferior ALEKO product with a way better LIFTMASTER system. The LIFTMASTER system is miles apart from the other brand! So much smoother, cleaner and so much more! Safe Haven Electric Gates did a great job on the install making our gate open even further than the other brand. Very nice people to work with.

Ben Gallo

Fantastic Service! Showed up on time. Extremely honest and recommended multiple options. Was not pushy with upsell. He replaced the parts and fixed my gate immediately. Gate is working great!

Veena Prakash

Highly commend the technician Logan Uzan who came out to my home for a service call. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable and pinpointed the issue immediately—truly spot-on with his diagnosis. What impressed me most was his willingness to share his expertise; he actually took the time to teach me a quick fix I could use in the future if the problem were to reoccur. That sort of helpfulness and transparency is rare these days. Safe haven has been extremely customer service oriented from their initial quotes to service calls. Amazing people and service

Herb Bickle

Absolutely the best

Perry Hamilton

Can I repair my electric gate myself?

Simple checks like power, remote batteries and photo eyes are fine. Complex repairs on the operator or wiring are dangerous without the right training and can damage the gate system further.

Do you repair all types of electric gates?

Yes. We repair swing gates, sliding gates and automatic driveway gates for homes and commercial properties, on every major brand, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, DoorKing, Apollo, Linear/Nice, Viking and FAAC.

Can my gate be repaired instead of replaced?

Usually. Many automatic driveway gate problems can be repaired without replacing the whole system, and we tell you plainly when a replacement makes more sense.

Do you offer emergency gate repair?

Yes. Emergency repair is available for urgent access or safety issues, and our line answers 24/7 for gates stuck open, stuck closed or unsafe.

Do you repair gates you didn't install?

Yes. We repair gates and openers no matter who installed them, on every major brand.

Can you upgrade or automate an existing gate?

Yes. We repair, upgrade and automate existing gates, including new operators, safety sensors, keypads and intercoms.
