The most common driveway gate type on LA estates. We re-weld hinges, treat rust, refinish to match the original paint system, and re-balance the gate so the operator isn’t fighting it. Hand-forged detail work matched on site.
Cantilever wheel wear, chain stretch, sprocket misalignment, jammed drive couplings. We replace drive components in matched pairs and re-tension to manufacturer spec so the gate runs quietly through its full travel.
Sagging hinges, bent guide posts, articulating arm wear, ground-tracking issues on sloped driveways. We re-bush hinges, re-align the leaf, and adjust articulating geometry so the gate clears the driveway through the full arc.
Motor diagnostics, capacitor replacement, limit-switch service, control-board swaps. Brand-correct parts for All-O-Matic, LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, Ramset, and Eagle — no aftermarket substitutions on driveway gate operators.
The gate-side hardware. Ball-bearing hinge upgrades on heavy iron, cantilever wheel replacement on slide gates, plumb correction on column-mounted swings, ground-track repair. We weld, re-bush, and re-align so the operator runs against zero friction.
When a driveway gate has reached end of life, we’ll tell you straight. Welds that have failed three times deserve a rebuild, not a fourth repair. We give honest assessments of repair cost vs. replacement value before any work starts.

Silence Garage Door & Gates is family owned and family operated. Sixteen years ago, we set out to do gate and garage door work differently — fast, honest, and reachable. Today we serve homeowners, commercial properties, and property management companies across 100+ cities in Greater LA, and we still answer every emergency call ourselves.
Whether it's a homeowner emergency, a commercial after-hours call, or a recurring HOA maintenance visit — the path is the same. Clear scope, written quote, same crew start to finish, same-day on most repairs.
By appointment, on-site. We meet at the property, walk the drive, listen to what you need and look at the job.
A written brief — what we'll do, what we won't, what it costs. Honest from the first page.
Repairs done the same day when we can; new installations built with the same care and the right parts. Installed by the same crew who did the walk-through — no subcontractors handed the job off.

Gate operator service of the type we run every week — diagnose, replace failing components, test cycles, and warranty the work before we leave. The same call from a homeowner, a commercial property, or an HOA looks the same on our truck.
View Full Portfolio →Most sagging driveway gates can be repaired by addressing the hinges and re-welding the gate frame. We grind down old welds, re-weld with proper penetration, and often upgrade to ball-bearing hinges that won’t need attention for another decade. A full replacement is only warranted when the frame itself has corroded through.
They fail differently. Slide gates wear at the cantilever wheels, drive chain, and sprockets — high-cycle parts. Swing gates wear at the hinges, articulating arms, and ground tracks — geometry-sensitive parts. Slides fail more frequently in dust and debris; swings fail more frequently on sloped driveways.
Yes — all four. Iron is the most common on LA estates and we do hand-forged matching on decorative work. Aluminum and steel slide gates are common in commercial settings. Custom gates with mixed materials get the same brand-correct hardware treatment.
Yes — all six brands we carry (All-O-Matic, LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, Ramset, Eagle). FAAC for heavy estate gates, All-O-Matic and LiftMaster for residential slides and swings, DoorKing for properties with telephone entry, Ramset for industrial slide installations, Eagle for high-cycle commercial.
Three common culprits: a photo eye is misaligned or dirty (causes the gate to reverse mid-cycle), the limit switch on the operator is mis-set (gate stops before fully closing), or the gate itself is sagging into the closing arc and hitting an obstruction. We diagnose all three at the same visit.
Yes — this is most of our Westside work. Estate gates often have proprietary hinges, custom-fabricated columns, and hand-forged decorative elements. We match the existing hardware in our shop, fabricate replacement parts where needed, and keep the gate’s original character intact.
Yes — for HOAs, multi-property owners, and estate properties with multiple gates, we offer quarterly or semi-annual maintenance: lubrication, hinge and roller inspection, photo-eye alignment, operator preventive service. PM clients see fewer emergency calls.
Often yes, depending on parts. Hinge welding, photo-eye alignment, limit-switch service, lubrication, and most operator board swaps can be completed in one visit. Custom-fabricated replacement parts or full operator unit swaps may require a return visit for the install.
