LiftMaster is our first recommendation for every new install — the operator we trust on commercial sites that can’t afford downtime. Ghost Controls and select alternatives for budget-conscious residential. Service and parts on every other major brand if you’ve already got something installed.
We install LiftMaster on every new project — one commercial brand we trust to hold up across our service area. For budget-conscious residential, Ghost Controls and select affordable alternatives. Other brands we service and stock parts for, but we don’t put them in on new installs.
Heavy-duty commercial slide operators — CSL24UL and SL3000UL. The default for industrial cantilever slides.
Commercial swing operators for single and dual swing gates. Rated for the cycle counts your site actually runs.
Articulated swing operators for residential and light-commercial swing gates — aluminum and ornamental driveway gates.
Barrier gate operators with high-cycle ratings, integrated loops, and LPR-friendly relay outputs.
Budget-friendly residential gate operators for lower-cycle driveways. A solid option when LiftMaster is more than the project needs.
HySecurity, FAAC, Came, Nice, BFT, DKS, Linear — we service and stock parts for all major brands. If it’s installed, we can fix it.
The operator is one component. Safe, reliable gate automation is a system — and every part of that system gets installed.
The gate opens — but who gets to open it? We match the access method to how your site actually operates.
The most basic and most common. PIN code entry and wireless remotes for straightforward residential and commercial access.
Not much extra cost and a feature people love — especially for residential and small commercial sites with few users. Open, close, and monitor from your phone.
Video or audio intercoms for visitor screening. Essential for gated communities, estates, and commercial properties with deliveries.
Open the gate from anywhere via phone call or app. Remote monitoring pushes gate status and alerts to your phone or to ours.
Full access control systems for the gate and building doors. We can install a new controller or integrate into your existing system.
License plate recognition for trusted-vehicle auto-entry. Loop detectors for arrival and free-exit cycles.
We install solar-powered operators when hardwired power isn’t accessible — rural acreages, remote compounds, ag sites. But solar has limitations.
Answers to the things people ask on the first call.
No permit is required for the gate itself. Electrical does require a permit — your preferred electrician can handle it, or we can hire ours. We handle utility locates (underground services) which are free but take 2–3 weeks.
Usually yes. Adding an operator, safety devices, and controls to an existing gate runs $3,000–$10,000 depending on the gate type and what’s needed.
1-year labour warranty on our installation, plus manufacturer warranty on all parts and operators. We offer optional maintenance packages that extend your warranty coverage.
24/7 emergency service available. Gate stuck open? Won’t close? Call us any time.
We train you at install on the basics: keep sensors clean and clear of snow, how the manual release works, and how to snap a photo of the control board to send us for remote support. Anything past that — call a pro.
The two biggest failures we see from non-specialists: wrong operator for the gate weight, and posts that weren’t set deep enough. Both lead to premature failure and expensive fixes.
We service any gate regardless of who installed it. We’ll assess the system, give honest feedback on whether to repair or replace, and quote accordingly. We get a lot of these — people come to us after a bad install elsewhere.
Correct installation is the #1 factor in gate longevity. Maintenance is #2. Skip it and you’ll be calling for a breakdown instead of a tune-up.
High-cycle commercial and industrial gates. Quarterly service prevents wear from becoming failure.
Multi-tenant commercial, parking facilities, and busy residential acreages. Spring and fall visits.
Most residential gates. One annual comprehensive check keeps everything running smooth.
Sensor issues are the most common — often self-diagnosable. Anything beyond sensors requires an on-site visit.
Once the design is finalized, here’s the typical process from shop to site.
All together, a full site install typically spans a few days of work spread over one to two weeks, once fabrication and finish are complete.
Every gate project is different, but here are realistic ranges so you know what to budget.
Automate an existing gate
$3,000 – $10,000
Add an operator, safety devices, and controls to a gate that’s already installed. Price depends on gate type, weight, and the accessories you need.
New gate + automation
$8,000 – $25,000+
