Reasons Why Electric Gates Stop Working
Like your car or garage door, electric gates require regular tune-ups to ensure their proper functionality. There are a number of reasons why electric gates stop working, and our Everest team wants to arm property owners with the information needed to diagnose problems that can be an easy quick-fix, and to arm them with the information they need to maintain their driveway gate. First, here are some common causes for electric gates to stop working that you could address on your own:
Insects and Wildlife – It may sound crazy, but lizards, ants, spiders, and certain insects that make nests can enter your control box or photo safety center where it is warm, or where they can escape predators. Check these area, and try to make it a periodic practice. You can use a dry cloth or high-pressure air to clear out these areas.
Tracks – Often it is the case where debris like leaves, rocks and sticks will get lodged in the track and prevent the gate from moving freely. If your electric gate is sticking check the track for stones or any obstructions.
Remote – In many cases getting your electric gate to work is as simple as checking the batteries in your remote. Depending on the manufacturer, if the batteries are low the gate will only work after several attempts at pushing the button before it fails to work at all. With other brands, the gate will simply fail to move when the batteries are dead. Most remotes have a light that flashes when the device is activated. If the light fails to illuminate, the batteries are likely dead.
Power Outage – Check the power source feeding your gate opener. In the event there is a power outage, or that electrical source stops working for whatever reason, Try using another device from that power source to rule it out as a culprit. If in fact the power source is working, there is likely an issue with the opener or the motor. Call Everest Garage Doors and Gates to come make the needed repairs, and for immediate use of your gate use the Manual Release Mode to open the gate without putting any strain on its motor.
Antenna – One reason your electric gate may not be working is that the antenna needs to be raised, or it has been cut. If the antenna has been cut it will need to be replaced. If however it is intact, try raising it higher but make sure it doesn’t touch the gate or any other metal surface.
Local Interference – Make sure there is no local radio interference that may be disrupting the signal from your remote to the electric gate. If there is a local radio station, airport, a military base, or a hobby enthusiast operating a ham radio out of his home or garage. If in fact there is another frequency interfering with your gate you will need to purchase a special receiver and antenna from Everest Garage Doors and Gates–we offer customers a discounted price.
Mechanical Problems With Electric Gates in Los Angeles
If none of the above causes pan out, there is likely a mechanical problem requiring attention from our certified Los Angeles electric motor gate fix-it-team. In some cases your wheel bearings or chain track could be broken or damaged from severe wear and tear. If you have a swing gate, the hinges or arm could be damaged to the point they no longer work properly. You can ensure the problem with your gate is related to a mechanical problem by detaching the chain and trying to manually move the door. If it won’t budge it means there is a problem with the mechanisms requiring our Los Angeles electric motor gate repair team from Everest to come, diagnose the issue, and restore it back to perfect working order.

What are Common Problems With Driveway Gates?
Because driveway gates are laden with various working parts, electrical systems, and they are exposed to the elements, a number of problems can occur if the gate is not properly maintained or given an annual tune-up. Driveway gate company Los Angeles is a booming industry with more luxury homes being built in the greater Los Angeles area. This means the need for custom driveway gates, their general maintenance, and fixes are on the rise and with that comes an influx of complications. Here are just some of the ones Everest Garage Doors and Gates addresses, some more frequently than others.

Would you be shocked if we said that cold weather in Los Angeles can lead to gate complications? You may be scratching your head on this one, but during the winter months it gets cold at night near the coast and in the desert creating frost in the mornings. When low temperatures display, several complications can befall your electric gate. For example, on your way to work have you ever noticed that on cold mornings you experience a delay in getting your gate to open, or perhaps it didn’t even open at all? Metal contracts and grease thickens when the weather is cold enough, requiring more power to operate the gate. Exposure to frost consecutively for a few months in a row has been known to cause such problems. Another coastal and desert cold morning culprit stems from the fact that your battery rests inside a metal box. As the exterior of the box collects dew, frost forms and dramatically lowers the inside-temperature of the box rendering the battery almost useless due to the diminishing electro-chemical reaction, which is how electrical currents are produced making your gate operational. Before you phone our gate technician Los Angeles pros, there are a few corrective steps you can try first:
- Try disconnecting the battery cables, and clean their ends along with the battery terminals.
- In the event your battery’s box is metal, grab Styrofoam insulation and place it on the sides of the box and on the bottom.
- DO NOT PUT STYROFOAM ON THE TOP OF THE BATTERY! Because lead acid-based batteries release Hydrogen as the battery is charging, the top surface must be allowed to vent the hydrogen. Otherwise you might have an explosion on your hands that would make Michael Bay want to offer you a job!
- Investigate your solenoid switch and all electrical connections. If you notice corrosion, clean your terminals.
- Ensure the trickle charger is charging correctly.
- Are your bearing surfaces and rollers corroded? Pick up some cold-weather grease from an auto parts store, clean the bearing surfaces and rollers, and apply the grease.
If you try these steps but your gate is still pitching a tantrum, remove your battery and take it to a mechanic to be tested under load; you may need a new one. In the event you need a new one, get a battery rated as “High Cold Cranking Amps”. If the problem still persists, call Everest Garage Doors and Gates and let our guys diagnose the problem and make the needed corrections.
