An electric gate that won’t open, won’t close, or grinds halfway and stops isn’t something you can put off until next week. Most Hollywood homeowners call us when the gate is stuck open, stuck closed, or making a sound it never made before. We repair electric gate motors, control boards, keypads, remotes, and safety sensors across Hollywood the same day in most cases. Call (855) 382-0732 and we’ll send a technician who knows your brand, not someone who has to look it up on a phone in your driveway.
Miami Gardens Gate Repair has been servicing automatic gates in Hollywood’s neighborhoods since we started. From the canal-front properties off A1A to the gated communities in west Hollywood, we understand how salt air, humidity, and shifting soil affect gate hardware in this city. If your gate is acting up, call now.
Why Miami Gardens Gate Repair Is Hollywood’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company
Hollywood has a specific problem most gate companies don’t understand. The city sits on a high water table, and along the Intracoastal and canal-front blocks, gate footings get poured into sand and muck. That means gates shift. A slide gate or swing gate that aligns perfectly in January drags by summer as the water table rises. We’ve fixed enough of these to know the pattern before we even pull into your driveway.
Our technicians work exclusively on gates. No HVAC calls, no plumbing, no garage doors in between your job. Electric gate repair is our whole trade, so when a LiftMaster operator fails on a corroded steel gate in Harbour Inlet, or a BFT control board shorts out in a west Hollywood HOA community, we diagnose it the same way we’ve diagnosed hundreds of similar failures in Hollywood.
Our service area includes every Hollywood zip code: 33027, 33029, 33081, 33083, plus the eastern neighborhoods where older waterfront estates mix with 1950s ranch homes. We don’t route through Hollywood between jobs in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We come straight to you, usually within a couple of hours of your call.
Styles & brands we work with
Electric Gate Motor in Hollywood
An Electric Gate Motor in Hollywood takes a beating from salt-laden onshore breezes and year-round humidity, which is why motor failures here are far more common than in inland Broward cities. The motor is the muscle of your gate system, and when it burns out, binds, or loses power, the gate either won’t move at all or moves in jerky starts and stops. A typical electric gate motor replacement in Hollywood runs $350 to $850 installed, depending on the brand and horsepower rating. Repairs to an existing motor, such as capacitor replacement or gear repair, typically run $120 to $280.
Motor Diagnostics and Replacement
We bench-test the motor, check the capacitor, and inspect the gearbox before recommending any replacement. Many Hollywood techs swap the motor without checking the armature or limit switches first. We don’t. If the motor can be rebuilt with OEM parts for less than a new unit, we’ll tell you that, too.
Storm and Surge Motor Failures
After a hurricane or a severe thunderstorm rolls through Hollywood, we see a spike in dead motors. Power surges cook capacitors. Lightning strikes damage the windings. And gates that sat in standing water on flood-prone blocks near the canal system often develop corrosion in the motor housing within weeks. If your gate ran fine before the last storm and now it’s dead, that’s not a coincidence.
Gate Access Control in Hollywood
Gate Access Control in Hollywood is more than a keypad on a post. In west Hollywood’s HOA-governed subdivisions, access control means integrating keypads, phone-based entry, and vehicle detection loops into a system the property manager can monitor. In east Hollywood, it often means restoring a corroded keypad or replacing a remote receiver that salt air has destroyed. Access control repairs in Hollywood typically run $150 to $400, while full system upgrades for community entry gates range from $1,200 to $4,500 depending on the number of units and features required.
Keypad and Remote Entry Repair
When a keypad stops accepting codes or a remote won’t trigger the opener, the problem is usually the receiver board or the keypad’s membrane contacts. Both fail faster in Hollywood’s humid, salt-heavy air. We replace these components with weather-rated parts, and we reprogram the system on the spot.
Community Gate and HOA Systems
Most HOA communities in Hollywood’s western subdivisions run shared entry gates with visitor call boxes, resident keypads, and vehicle detection loops. When those systems go down, dozens of residents are affected, not one homeowner. We coordinate directly with property managers and HOA boards, and we understand the approval process many Hollywood HOAs require before equipment changes can be made.
Common Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Sagging gates from shifting footings: Along Hollywood’s canal and Intracoastal frontage, concrete footings poured into sand and muck shift seasonally. A gate that drags in July might have moved a quarter inch at the hinge post since January. We re-pour and re-align, not just adjust the hinges and hope it holds.
- Salt-corrosion on tracks and operators: In east Hollywood, the constant salt-laden breeze eats through powder coating in two to three years. Rack and pinion systems on slide gates bind when rust builds up in the teeth, which burns out motors faster than anything else we see.
- Builder-grade hardware failures in west Hollywood: Many 1980s to 2000s gated communities in the 33027 and 33029 zip codes were built with entry gate hardware that was never meant to last 25 years in Florida heat. We replace hinges, wheels, and operators with commercial-grade parts that hold up.
- Photocell and safety sensor trips: A gate that reverses for no apparent reason usually has a misaligned or corroded photo-eye. On Hollywood’s waterside blocks, the problem is often the gate itself sagging into the sensor’s beam path. Fixing the alignment fixes the sensor trip. A tech who only replaces the sensor misses the root cause.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We know your gate brand, because we work on all of them. LiftMaster operators on A1A estates, FAAC swing gate systems on canal-front homes, BFT control boards in west Hollywood HOAs, and Linear keypads on rental properties across the city. Our technicians are factory-familiar with these systems and carry common parts for Hollywood’s most common operator brands. That means fewer second trips and less waiting on a parts shipment from Tampa or Atlanta. If you know the brand, tell us when you call and we’ll pull the right parts before we head your way.

FAQs About Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood
Hollywood’s water table rises and falls with the seasons, and on canal-front and Intracoastal blocks, the soil under gate footings stays saturated for months at a time. Footings poured into that sand and muck settle unevenly, which shifts the gate post and throws the whole gate out of alignment. The result is a gate that drags, binds, or stops mid-cycle. Realignment and sometimes re-pouring the footing is the permanent fix. Call (855) 382-0732 if your gate has started dragging in the last few months.
Yes. We work with Hollywood HOAs regularly, and we understand architectural review boards’ requirements for gate style, finish, height, and equipment placement. If your board needs documentation, photos, or a written scope of work before approving a repair or replacement, we provide all of it. Getting approval upfront avoids the costly retrofit that happens when a board rejects a repair done without authorization.
Power surges and lightning strikes are common in Hollywood’s rainy season from May through October, and they damage capacitors, control boards, and motor windings in gate operators. If your gate sits on a flood-prone street, water intrusion into the operator housing is another common culprit. We recommend surge suppressors on the power feed and, on waterside properties, operators rated for wet-location exposure. If your gate dies after every storm, call (855) 382-0732 and we’ll find the actual failure point.
We do that work all over Hollywood’s HOA communities. We replace outdated telephone-entry systems and keypads with internet-connected access control that lets residents use their phones, supports visitor codes, and gives property managers remote monitoring. A typical community upgrade starts around $1,200 for a single entry point and scales from there. We’ll work with your management company on the scope and the quote.
Usually, yes. On Hollywood’s waterside blocks, hinge posts settle into soft soil and the gate starts to sag within a year or two of installation. The sag isn’t a hinge problem; the post itself has moved. Tightening the hinges treats the symptom. Re-pouring the post footing and re-hanging the gate fixes it. In the Harbour Inlet neighborhood off A1A, we serviced a LiftMaster swing gate operator on a salt-corroded steel gate where the hinge post had settled into muck, causing the gate to sag and trip the safety photocell. We re-poured the post footing, performed sag correction, and replaced the corroded photo-eyes; the homeowner said it was the first time in two years the gate closed without dragging.
