Same-day gate repair across Pasadena - 91101, 91105, 91106 - for homes, businesses, HOAs, and property managers. Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights, San Rafael, and Old Pasadena. Family-owned since 2010, CSLB #1079396, $2M insured. Trusted by private estates and gated HOA communities across the Westside, the Valley, the Tri-Cities, and the Coast.
Pasadena pairs historic neighborhoods with hillside estates and a busy commercial core. In Bungalow Heaven and Madison Heights, it's custom driveway gates that fit the architecture; up in the San Rafael hills, long, often steep driveways and estate gates that need a dependable heavy-duty operator; and around Old Pasadena and the Colorado corridor, commercial gates and access control. When a gate fails in 91105 or 91106, you want someone who handles historic homes, hillside estates, and commercial properties alike — not a one-size fix.
We service and repair hillside swing and slide gates, estate operators on long driveways, custom iron and wood gates that match historic homes, commercial slide gates, and the intercom, keypad, and callbox systems common across Pasadena's neighborhoods and businesses. In the San Rafael hills, the long-travel operators those driveways demand; in Bungalow Heaven and Madison Heights, repairs that keep the gate's original look; around Old Pasadena, secure commercial access. Authorized for LiftMaster and All-O-Matic; we also service FAAC, DoorKing, and other major systems. 24/7 emergency response.
The most common reason an automatic gate stops working. We diagnose the motor, gearbox, capacitor, limit switches, and drive coupling to find whether it’s a rebuild, a board, or a full operator replacement. Brand-correct parts, no aftermarket substitutions.
When a gate reverses mid-cycle or refuses to close, photo-eye misalignment is the usual suspect. We re-aim, re-wire, and replace eye pairs to UL 325 spec. Edge sensors and warning beacons audited at the same visit.
When the board reads a phantom input or the remote stops pairing, the receiver or control logic is the failure point. We carry board-level replacements for All-O-Matic, LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, Ramset, and Eagle and we program receivers on site.
Slide-gate chain stretch, drive belt wear, sprocket misalignment, jammed drive couplings. We replace drive components in matched pairs, lubricate to manufacturer spec, and re-tension the system so it runs quietly.
The gate-side hardware. Worn cantilever wheels, sagging hinges, damaged ground tracks, bent guide posts. We weld, re-bush, and re-align so the operator isn’t fighting the gate every cycle.
Loop detectors not firing, intermittent power, lightning damage to the board, battery backup not charging. We trace the low-voltage and high-voltage runs, bond the gate to ground per code, and replace failed transformers and batteries.

View Full Portfolio →Yes — we keep the style and finish consistent with the architecture in Bungalow Heaven, Madison Heights, and the older neighborhoods, matching iron profiles and wood.
Steep, long driveways need a higher-cycle, long-travel operator sized to your slope and gate weight, not a standard residential unit. We measure before recommending.
Yes — commercial slide gates, parking access, callboxes, and keypads for businesses around Old Pasadena and the Colorado corridor.
If the gate hums but doesn’t move, runs slow, won’t fully close, or hits the limit early, the operator is usually the culprit — specifically the motor capacitor, limit switches, or the gearbox. If the gate moves freely by hand but stops mid-cycle, the issue is more likely a photo eye or control board. Either way, we’ll diagnose it on site.
Slide gates fail at the drive chain, sprocket, and cantilever wheels. Swing gates fail at the hinges, articulating arms, and edge sensors. Both share operator-side failures (motor, board, photo eye). Knowing the gate type tells us where to start looking.
Yes — All-O-Matic is one of the most common brands we work on. We carry control boards, capacitors, drive components, and replacement units for the SW, SL, and Super-1 lines.
Yes — we install and repair the LiftMaster commercial gate operator line (LA, RSL, SL, and CSL series) plus the residential Elite lines. Board replacements, receivers, and full unit swaps as needed.
Yes — all four. FAAC for hydraulic and heavy gates, DoorKing for telephone-entry/access-control integrations, Ramset for industrial slide installations, Eagle for high-cycle commercial sites. Brand-correct parts on every repair.
Check three things: (1) is the operator getting power — the LED on the control board should be lit; (2) are the photo eyes aligned and clean — a misaligned eye blocks all motion; (3) is the manual release engaged — if someone disengaged the gate for maintenance and forgot to re-engage, the operator runs but the gate stays still. If those three pass, call us.
A properly installed automatic gate with quality hardware should run three to seven years between meaningful service calls, longer with a preventive-maintenance schedule. Photo eyes drift and need re-alignment every year or two; that’s the most common recurring service item.
Yes — for HOAs, multi-property owners, and estate properties with multiple gates we offer quarterly or semi-annual maintenance schedules covering lubrication, hinge and roller inspection, photo-eye verification, and operator preventive service. Most clients on contract see fewer emergency calls.
