Common Operator Failures
Signs your gate operator needs service
These are some of the most common problems people call about. Many have more than one possible cause, which is why a proper diagnosis comes first.
- The gate will not open or close at all
- The gate starts moving, then stops or reverses
- The gate opens but will not stay closed, or will not close
- Remotes, keypads or entry systems no longer operate the gate
- The motor hums, clicks or runs but the gate does not move
- Grinding, straining or unusual noises when the gate moves
- The gate stopped working after a storm, power outage or electrical problem
- Safety sensors are out of alignment or keep the gate from closing
If the problem involves remotes, keypads or telephone entry, see our access control systems page. If an old operator is beyond repair, Bayside also handles gate operator replacement and installation.
