Swing Gate vs Sliding Gate Motors
Twin leaves
Swing Gate Motors
Arm or underground motors that push each leaf open. Common on villa driveways. Arms, hinges and limit settings need regular checks.
- Ram or articulated arm
- Underground options
- Two motors
Single leaf
Sliding Gate Motors
A motor with a gear driving a rack along the gate. It suits sloped drives and narrow plots. The track and wheels must be kept clean.
- Rack and pinion
- Track and wheels
- One motor

Keeping Automatic Gates Reliable in Summer
Summer heat is hard on gate electronics. Control boxes in direct sun can overheat, capacitors fail and battery backups age quickly. Shading the control box and a service before summer prevents many breakdowns.
Safety sensors stop the gate closing on a car or a person. Dust and sun glare can make them misread, so gates stop or reverse. Cleaning and realigning them is quick and keeps the gate both safe and working.
For the gate itself, see sagging gate fixes. For welding, see welding and metal fabrication, and for smart access control, smart home installation.

Automatic and Electric Gate Repair: FAQs
How Much Does Automatic and Electric Gate Repair Cost in Dubai?
Automatic gate repair visits start from AED 250. Parts such as capacitors, boards, sensors and remotes are priced by the part after diagnosis. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Why Is My Automatic Gate Not Opening or Closing?
The most common causes are a dead remote battery, blocked or misaligned safety sensors, a tripped power supply, a failed capacitor or a gate that has dropped and binds on its track. Most are fixed in one visit.
Should I Repair or Replace an Old Gate Opener?
Repair makes sense when the motor is sound and the fault is a control board, capacitor, sensor or remote. Replacement is better when the gearbox is worn, parts are no longer available or the motor is too small for the gate.
How Long Does a Gate Motor Replacement Take?
Replacing a swing or sliding gate motor usually takes three to five hours, including setting the limits, safety sensors and remotes. Larger gates or new wiring can take a full day.
Do You Repair All Gate Brands and Motor Types?
We repair swing and sliding gate motors from common brands such as FAAC, BFT, CAME, Nice and LiftMaster, along with their remotes, sensors and control boards.
