A completely unresponsive gate motor has a specific set of likely causes - here's where we start looking.
Leave your details and we'll email and call you back shortly.
When a gate motor shows absolutely no signs of life, the fault is usually electrical: a tripped breaker, blown fuse, failed transformer, or a backup battery that has finally given out after months of gradual decline. Less commonly, the control board itself has failed.
We test power supply, battery condition, the control board and the motor itself in sequence to isolate exactly where the fault lies, then repair or replace only the affected component.

This depends on the specific fault - some board issues are repairable, while more serious failures require replacement.
