Electric gates are a joy – until they stop working, and then they're a headache. Stuck open, stuck shut, opening by themselves or grinding away: whatever your gate's doing, call us and we'll get it moving properly again.
Adrian has spent 16 years repairing electric gates, and we work on every major brand, whoever installed them.

Not sure which make you have? A photo of the motor or control box is all we need to tell you.
Automatic Gate Repairs on Every Major Brand
Over the years, gates around Carlisle have been fitted with motors from many different manufacturers. We repair all the common ones – CAME, FAAC, BFT, Nice, Beninca and more – including older systems that some engineers won't touch.
If parts for an older motor are no longer made, we'll look for compatible replacements before suggesting new automation, so you're not paying for more than you need.
Fast Electric Gate Fault Finding in Carlisle
Most gate faults come down to a handful of causes: a blocked or dirty photocell, a power problem after a storm, a worn motor or a remote that's lost its pairing. Finding the real cause quickly is what saves you time and money.
We test the power supply, control board, motors and safety devices in turn, explain what we've found and give you the price before any repair begins.
What I fix
- Gates that won't open or close – see gate won't open and gate won't close

- Sliding gates – tracks, wheels, racks and end stops
- Hydraulic motors – leaks, lost pressure and slow running
How a repair works
- Tell us what's happening. Call or WhatsApp – a short video of the gate trying to move is a huge help.
- We diagnose the fault. On site, with proper test equipment.
- You get a price before we start. No surprises.
- We fix it and test it. Including the safety devices, so the gate is safe as well as working.
If a repair isn't worthwhile – an obsolete motor with no parts available, for example – we'll tell you honestly. Read repair or replace?
Before you call
Some things are safe to check yourself, such as dirty photocells or flat remote batteries – see our troubleshooting guides. Please don't open the control box or bypass safety devices; leave that to an engineer.
Keep it working
Many of the breakdowns we attend could have been prevented by a service. Once your gate is repaired, consider a yearly service – see electric gate maintenance.
