Fast Fault Finding
Common automatic gate problems we investigate
A gate failure is not always caused by the motor. Tracks, hinges, wheels, sensors, wiring, remotes and control settings can all affect operation. We assess the complete system so the recommended repair addresses the real problem.
Gate stuck open or closed?Do not force it while the motor is engaged. Call us for guidance and use the correct manual release only when it is safe to do so.

Gate moves slowly or stops halfway
Often linked to mechanical resistance, worn components, low voltage or motor overload.
Remote or keypad is not responding
The remote battery, programming, receiver, antenna or access controller may need attention.
Gate reverses or refuses to close
Dirty, blocked, water-damaged or misaligned safety beams are common causes.
Grinding, squealing or unusual movement
Track damage, wheel wear, loose rack, hinge problems or gearbox wear may be developing.
Storm, rain or electrical damage
Heavy rain, humidity, salt air, power surges and damaged outdoor wiring can affect boards, sensors and motors.

Repair Guide
Symptoms, likely causes and repair options
The table below is a general guide only. Automatic gates contain moving machinery and electrical components, so a site inspection may be required for a safe and accurate diagnosis.
| Gate symptom | Possible cause | Typical repair approach | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gate does not move | Power supply, board, motor, remote or release mechanism | Electrical testing, reset, component repair or motor assessment | High |
| Gate is slow | Worn wheels, track resistance, low voltage or motor wear | Mechanical service, alignment, power testing or operator repair | Medium |
| Gate reverses | Blocked sensor, incorrect force, obstruction or limit fault | Clean and align beams, test wiring, adjust settings and inspect travel | High |
| Grinding noise | Damaged track, wheel, drive rack, hinge or gearbox | Replace worn hardware, repair alignment and inspect motor load | Medium |
| Remote range is poor | Battery, antenna, interference or receiver issue | Replace battery, reprogram remote, inspect receiver and antenna | Routine |
| Water inside controller | Damaged enclosure, seals or cable entries | Isolate safely, replace affected parts and improve weather protection | Urgent |

Frequently Asked Questions
Automatic gate repair questions
These answers cover common situations. Stop using the system and seek professional advice when the gate is unstable, damaged, moving unexpectedly or has exposed electrical components.
Why has my automatic gate stopped working?
Common causes include a power issue, flat remote battery, blocked safety beam, damaged control board, worn motor, broken gate wheel, track obstruction or incorrect limit settings. A complete inspection should check both the automation and the physical gate.
Do you repair sliding and swing gates on the Gold Coast?
Hason Gate handles enquiries for automatic sliding gates, swing gates, motors, control boards, remotes, sensors and access systems. Contact the team to confirm current service availability in your Gold Coast suburb.
Can an old automatic gate motor be repaired?
Many motor faults can be repaired when compatible parts are available. If the motor is obsolete, undersized or badly damaged, replacement may offer better long-term value. The gate should be assessed before a recommendation is made.
What should I do if my gate is stuck closed?
Switch off the system if it appears unsafe and use the correct manual release only when you understand the manufacturer’s procedure. Do not force the gate while the motor remains engaged, as this can damage the gearbox, rack or actuator.
Why does my gate open but refuse to close?
A blocked or misaligned safety beam is a common cause. Water, dirt, insects, landscaping, damaged wiring and incorrect limits can also prevent closing. Never permanently bypass a safety device simply to keep the gate operating.
How can I help you identify the gate system?
Send clear photos of the complete gate, motor or actuator, manufacturer label, control box and any damaged component. Include the suburb and describe the sound, movement or warning lights you have noticed.
