How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 402 and 412 operators burning through limit switches. These compact swing operators are common on Prosper driveway gates in Gentle Creek and Whispering Farms. The internal limit cams wear down over time, and the gate starts stopping six inches short or slamming past the close point. We replace the switch assembly and reset the travel limits so the gate stops where it’s supposed to, every time.
• FAAC 750 and 760 slide gate operators tripping the torque sensor. North Texas clay soil shifts with the seasons, and a concrete slide track that was level in March is binding by August. The operator reads the drag as an obstruction and reverses mid-cycle. Half the time the motor is fine; the track needs re-leveling and the rollers need grease. We check the whole run before we ever condemn a board.
• FAAC E024U control boards killed by lightning or power surges. This is the one we see most after a Prosper thunderstorm rolls through. These boards are sensitive, and a nearby strike will take out the transformer or the capacitor bank even with a surge protector up the line. We stock OEM FAAC boards and quality aftermarket equivalents, and we’ll walk you through which makes sense for the age of your operator.
• FAAC hydraulic operators weeping fluid around the piston seals. The 400-series hydraulic units are workhorses, but after eight to ten Texas summers, the seals shrink and you’ll see a dark stain under the operator. Low fluid means the gate crawls or stalls halfway. We reseal on site rather than quoting you a whole new operator unless the cylinder is scored beyond saving.
• FAAC photocells and safety edges misaligned or chewed by critters. Prosper has rabbits, and rabbits like low-voltage wire. We find safety-edge wiring gnawed through and photocells knocked out of alignment by the mower more than any other cause of a gate that closes fine but won’t stay open. A clean wire splice and a realignment usually puts it right.

Our FAAC Gate Repair Process

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person picks up at (979) 291-0947, asks what the gate’s doing and what model FAAC you’re running, and gives you a window. We call before we pull up, so you’re not standing in the driveway waiting on us.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. Hal or one of his crew opens up the operator, checks power, limits, safety edges, and the gate structure itself. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start.
3. 3
   Parts decision, made with you at the truck. We show you exactly what’s failed and lay out your options: OEM FAAC parts, proven aftermarket equivalents, or a repair like seal replacement or track re-leveling that avoids parts altogether. No surprise parts charges. You approve the number before we order or install anything.
4. 4
   The repair, usually in one visit. We weld on-site when the job calls for it, swap boards or switches, reset travel stops and sensitivity, and rebalance the gate if it needs it. Your gate stays in your driveway; nothing gets hauled off unless you’re replacing the whole operator.
5. 5
   The test. We cycle the gate a dozen times with weight on it, kill the power and restore it, and walk the safety edges. If it doesn’t close right every single time, we’re not done.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the promise. We sweep up wire clippings and hardware, walk you through what we did, and hand you the invoice with the 90-Day Done Right Promise printed on it.

What FAAC Gate Repair Costs in Prosper

Here’s what we actually quote in Prosper and the surrounding area. These are installed prices; the number we give you is the number on the invoice.

• FAAC limit switch replacement: $160 to $260
• Control board replacement (E024U or similar): $260 to $450
• Photocell pair replacement and realignment: $140 to $210
• Safety edge replacement on a swing gate: $180 to $280
• Hydraulic seal and fluid service: $190 to $320
• Hinge post repair with on-site welding: $280 to $480
• Slide track re-leveling and roller replacement: $240 to $420

What moves the price is whether we can repair in place or need new components, and whether the gate structure itself is sound. We always check the post and hinges before we quote operator work, because fixing a board on a gate that’s sagging is throwing good money after bad. Right now you can take $40 off any FAAC repair over $200, and if another company gave you a written estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion. Estimates are free and the price is locked before work starts.

Why Prosper Homeowners Call Gatewood Fence & Gate for FAAC Work

Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates around Prosper since 2001, back when this whole area was mostly pasture and everybody knew everybody at the Kroger on Preston Road. He learned welding and construction technology at Collin College over in McKinney, and he’s still the one standing behind the work. The name on the shop is the name on the invoice, and the shop is down the road. Every call gets answered by a live person around the clock, not a voicemail. We service eight other major brands too - LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, BFT, Linear, Viking, and Elite - so if your property has two gates with two different operators, one call covers both. Background-checked, uniformed, and the person who shows up is the person who stands behind the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
