We diagnose first, then tell you which of the two is worth doing.

Sometimes it is one part and an hour. Sometimes the frame has gone and a new operator would just be bolted to a losing argument. That call gets made after the diagnosis, out loud, with the reasoning attached.

On a short driveway a gate that stops halfway blocks the sidewalk as well as the car. Getting it moving and secure is usually the first visit's job, with the permanent fix behind it.

Older inland streets mix construction from several decades, so two openings on the same block are not necessarily the same problem.

Also inside the HVHZ

Broward falls inside the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone as Miami-Dade, so the wind rating carries across the county line unchanged. What does not carry across is the paperwork: permitting is administered locally, and the sensible order is to ask what Tamarac expects before the steel is ordered rather than after.

Before you call

  • Parts on the truck
  • Re-tuned before we leave
  • Every brand
  • Diagnose on site
  • Slide & cantilever options
Can you get the part?
Most common failures are on operators still in production. Where a unit is genuinely obsolete we say so rather than chase it.
Is it worth servicing before it breaks?
Usually. Hinge wear, chain tension and sensor alignment are cheap to correct and expensive to leave alone.
It still works, but it sounds wrong.
That is a real symptom. Noise generally arrives before failure does, and it is a much smaller job at that stage.
There is no room for a gate to swing.
Then it should not swing. A slide or a cantilever gets the same opening without needing an arc that is not there.

Next step

Nothing is quoted off a photograph alone. The opening gets measured first, and the drawing follows from the measurements.
