When an Automatic Gate Failure Becomes an Emergency
A broken automatic gate isn’t just inconvenient — it can:
Shut down business operations
Create security risks
Block emergency vehicle access
Leave properties unsecured
Knowing what to do first can prevent further damage and liability
Step 1: Secure the Area
For commercial or multi-family properties:
Prevent unauthorized access
Redirect traffic if needed
Avoid forcing the gate open
Step 2: Check for Obvious Power Issues
Before calling for service:
Verify power is restored
Check breakers and disconnect switches
Look for storm damage
Do not open control panels unless qualified.
Step 3: Do NOT Force the Gate
Manually pushing or pulling a motorized gate can:
Strip gears
Burn out motors
Damage operator arms
This often turns a small repair into a full replacement.
Step 4: Call a Professional Emergency Gate Technician
Emergency gate repairs require experience with:
Gate operators
Safety systems
Commercial compliance standards
Access control integration
