Questions people ask me
Do you repair electric gates in Alston?
Yes – in Alston and the area around it, on all the major brands, whoever installed them.
Can you fix a farm gate that stopped after a storm?
Usually. Storms trip supplies, let water into control boxes and damage boards, and we carry common parts.
Why does my gate struggle on a slope?
The motor works harder on a slope, so it wears faster and the settings drift. We'll check the motor, hinges and forces.
