Why Calder Gate Repair Is Conway’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company
Conway homeowners don’t have time for vague arrival windows or a tech who shrugs and says “it depends.” Our techs arrive background-checked, in uniform, with a trackable arrival time you can follow from your phone. We carry boards, remotes, keypads, limit switches, and safety edge parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking gates, which covers most of what’s installed in Conway’s older ranch-style subdivisions. Because we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family, every job follows The Relay Standard: a live arrival time, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice you pay from a link. If the repair fails within 365 days, the 365-Day Done Right Promise sends us back at no charge. Nico Alvarez, who leads our gate repair team, is the person behind our no-surprises pricing rule: the invoice matches the quote, always.
Gate Access Control in Conway
Gate Access Control in Conway means installing or repairing the systems that decide who gets in: keypads, intercoms, remotes, loop detectors, and the control boards that tie them together. Homeowners call us when a keypad stops accepting codes, a remote won’t pair, or a control board fries during one of Conway’s frequent summer lightning storms.
Keypads and Intercoms
Keypad failures are common in Conway because humidity creeps into enclosures near Lake Conway and corrodes the contacts slowly. A keypad that works intermittently isn’t a wiring ghost, it’s corrosion. We clean, re-seal, or replace the keypad, then re-pair it to your opener and test every code. Most keypad replacements in Conway run $140 to $260 including parts and labor.
Control Boards and Loop Detectors
A lightning strike can take out a control board instantly, even through a surge protector. We diagnose the board first, not the motor. Board replacement on FAAC, BFT, Linear, or Viking units in Conway typically runs $260 to $480 before parts, and we quote the exact board cost before we order anything. Loop detectors fail more quietly, often after months of corrosion, and a dead loop means the gate won’t auto-close.
Commercial Gate Operator in Conway
Commercial Gate Operator work in Conway covers slide gates and swing gates at HOA entrances, apartment complexes, and light industrial sites along Hoffner Avenue and Michigan Street. These operators run on longer cycles than residential models and fail differently: rack and pinion wear, limits drift, and the operator strains when a post shifts in sandy soil.
Operator Replacement and Retrofit
A failed commercial operator is rarely worth nursing along. We spec the right replacement for the gate’s size, cycle count, and current panel, then install and test it under full load. Commercial operator replacement in Conway generally runs $1,900 to $3,400 depending on the operator model and access, with a written quote before we start.
Loop, Safety Edge, and Reversal Testing
Every commercial gate we service in Conway gets its loop detector, safety photocells, and reversal pressure tested as one system, not three separate jobs. A site with UL 325 compliance issues after an operator swap is a failure by our standard. We test, document, and give you a digital record of every safety figure.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
Our Conway techs are factory-familiar with FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, plus LiftMaster and DoorKing. That means we diagnose by brand, not by guesswork. We keep common FAAC and Viking control boards, Linear remote receivers, and BFT limit switches on the truck, so most Conway repairs finish same visit. If your gate is one of the older FAAC or LiftMaster units common in Conway’s established neighborhoods, we’ve almost certainly repaired a dozen just like it this month. For brand-specific help, call our Electric Gate Repair team and tell us what’s on the gate post.
Common Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Lightning-damaged control boards. Conway’s summer storms produce frequent, close lightning. A strike anywhere near your property can send a surge through low-voltage gate wiring and cook the board. We see this most on FAAC and LiftMaster units in older homes. The fix is board replacement plus a surge-protector install we recommend on every Conway board swap.
- Post settling and sagging swing gates. Sandy soil plus heavy afternoon rain equals shifting posts. A swing gate that sags an inch is harder on the operator and the hinges, and it wears motors out early. We re-set the footing, re-level the gate, and re-torque everything.
- Corroded keypads and photocells near Lake Conway. High humidity near the lake gets inside enclosures and causes intermittent failures that drive homeowners crazy. A keypad that works every other day is almost always corrosion inside the housing. We replace the housing and seal it properly.
- Misaligned slide gates and rack wear. Slide gates on longer Conway driveways pick up debris in the track and grind through rack teeth after a few hard years. We straighten the track, replace worn rack sections, and realign the operator limit.

FAQs About Electric Gate Repair in Conway
Why does my electric gate in Conway stop working after a storm?
Lightning surges are the most common cause in Conway. A nearby strike sends voltage through the low-voltage wiring or the control board, and the gate dies instantly or behaves erratically. We replace the board and recommend installing a gate-specific surge protector, which costs about $60 to $90. If your gate stopped working after the last storm, call (903) 417-0793, and we’ll quote the repair honestly.
How much does it cost to repair a sagging electric gate in Conway?
Sagging gate repair in Conway generally runs $250 to $500, depending on whether we’re re-setting a single post or re-leveling both plus the hinges. In sandy soil, the post footing is usually the culprit. We dig, re-set, re-level, and test the operator under full weight before we call it done.
What safety features are required on automatic gates in Conway?
Florida follows UL 325, which requires automatic gates to have a primary and secondary entrapment protection, such as reverse edges and photocells, plus loop detectors where needed. If your gate reverses randomly, a safety edge has failed. We test every safety circuit on every job, and we document the test figures for you.
Do you service commercial gate operators in Conway?
Yes. We repair and replace commercial operators at HOAs, apartment complexes, and industrial sites throughout Conway, including along Hoffner Avenue. We’re factory-familiar with FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, plus LiftMaster and DoorKing. We quote commercial work upfront and schedule replacement during hours that fit your site.
Can you convert my manual gate to an electric gate in Conway?
We can, and it’s a measured, scheduled job, not a same-day project. A residential conversion in Conway generally runs $1,800 to $3,200 depending on the operator type, the power run, and the safety edges. We handle the full conversion: operator, power, safety circuit, keypad or remote pairing, and reversal testing. Never promised as same day, but we do promise a written price before we start.
