Types of Automatic Gate Motors
Sliding gate motors are designed for gates that move horizontally along a track. These motors work well for properties with limited space as the gate doesn't need room to swing open. They mount to the side of the gate and use a chain, belt, or rack and pinion system to move the gate.
Swing gate motors operate gates that pivot on hinges, similar to a door. These come in several varieties:
- Articulated arm motors: Good for large, heavy gates
- Underground motors: Hidden from view for aesthetic appeal
- Linear actuators: Ram-style motors that push/pull gates open
Smart gate openers add connectivity features, allowing you to control your gate remotely via smartphone apps. Many newer models include battery backup systems that keep your gate operational during power outages.
Benefits of Gate Automation Systems
Gate automation systems offer numerous advantages beyond convenience. Security is significantly enhanced with automated entry gates that can be programmed to close automatically after a vehicle passes through.
Our gate automation systems can be customized with various control options:
- Keypads for code entry
- Remote controls for vehicle access
- Intercom systems for visitor screening
- Smartphone integration for control from anywhere
Properly installed gate motors also protect your gate from damage. The control panels include safety features like obstacle detection that prevents the gate from closing if something is in the way. We install motors designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring your system works year-round.

FAQs
Automatic gate motor installation comes with many questions from our customers. Below are answers to the most common inquiries we receive at Precision Automatic Gate Repair.
What are the typical costs associated with installing an automatic gate motor?
The cost of installing an automatic gate motor typically ranges from $800 to $2,500. This price varies based on the type of motor, gate size, and complexity of installation.
Several factors affect the final price, including whether your gate is sliding or swinging, the weight of your gate, and any additional features you want.

How can I determine the best automatic gate motor installation service in my area?
Look for companies with specific experience in gate motor installation and positive customer reviews. Companies that specialize in gate systems rather than general contractors often provide better results.
Ask about warranties on both parts and labor. Quality companies like ours stand behind their work with substantial warranty periods.
Check if the company is licensed and insured, which protects you from liability during the installation process.
What are the signs that indicate a need for repairing or replacing my gate motor?
Unusual noises during operation often signal internal motor problems that need attention. Grinding or screeching sounds typically indicate worn gears or bearings.
Slow or inconsistent opening and closing speeds suggest the motor is struggling and may need repair or replacement.
Complete failure to open or close, even intermittently, is a clear sign you need professional service. Don't wait until the gate stops working completely.
How does the quality of installation service impact the longevity and performance of automatic gate motors?
Professional installation ensures proper alignment, which prevents premature wear on motor components. Even small alignment issues can lead to significant problems over time.
Correct wiring and weatherproofing during installation protects sensitive electronics from environmental damage. This significantly extends your gate motor's lifespan.
Professional installers also program safety features correctly, preventing accidents and damage that could affect your gate's performance.
What should I expect during the installation process of an automatic gate motor by a professional service company?
The installation begins with a site assessment where we evaluate your gate, electrical access, and space requirements. This typically takes 30-60 minutes before actual installation starts.
The physical installation usually takes 3-4 hours, which includes mounting the motor, connecting power, testing safety features, and programming remotes.
After installation, we provide a demonstration of all features and explain proper maintenance procedures to keep your gate operating smoothly for years to come.
