We provide independent Ghost Controls gate repair across Delray Beach, from the narrow bungalow driveways east of the Intracoastal to the HOA-governed country-club neighborhoods out west. The one thing that makes our Ghost Controls work here different is that we know how Delray Beach’s split housing stock changes the way these operators behave: a factory-configured swing arm fits a Palm Beach County estate, but it often needs re-clocking to clear a 1920s Pineapple Grove driveway. We’re Miami Gate Company, and we’re not affiliated with Ghost Controls. We’re the independent service team Delray Beach calls when a Ghost Controls operator stops behaving. Call (833) 570-5807 for a straight diagnosis.
Why Delray Beach Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
We work on Ghost Controls solar and low-voltage gate operators every week, so we know their control boards, battery harnesses, and arm geometry by sight rather than by manual. Ruben Castellano, our owner, spent his early years around mechanical and electrical systems in Hialeah, and he’s been tearing into gate operators long enough to trace a fault before swapping a part. His line: if you don’t know exactly what failed, you’re just guessing with someone else’s money. That’s how we approach every our Gate Repair in Delray Beach call.
We’re an independent repair company. Not authorized, not sponsored, not warranty-endorsed by Ghost Controls. We say that plainly because it matters. It means we fit Ghost Controls-compatible control boards, battery harnesses, and arm assemblies from quality suppliers, and we use OEM-spec batteries rather than bargain packs that die halfway through a Florida summer. It also means we recommend what the system needs, not what a manufacturer incentive pushes. We also service the full Ghost Controls sales & service lifecycle, from repair to full replacement. For Delray Beach owners, that independence translates to faster, more honest answers.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Delray Beach
- Solar-harvest and battery failures. Year-round humidity and heavy summer rain leave Ghost Controls battery boxes holding water and aging sealed lead-acid packs. Gates stall or reverse mid-travel after a cloudy stretch, and the owner is left wondering if the panel or the pack died. We open the enclosure, check the harness, and load-test the batteries rather than guessing.
- Control-board and limit faults after storm-season surges. A nearby lightning strike or a utility surge can send a Ghost Controls board into a reset loop, or make it ignore one arm entirely on a dual-swing kit. We trace the board’s power rail and limit inputs to see whether it’s a board fault or a wiring issue before recommending a fix.
- Arm and bracket wear on salt-air hinges. In Delray Beach’s coastal air, the operator arm often pushes a hinge that’s already corroded. The gate drags, the arm bends, and the operator throws an obstruction fault. We address the hinge condition and the arm alignment together, because fixing only one side of that equation means another call in a few months.
- Keypad and remote pairing dropouts after humidity intrusion. The entry keypad and receiver sit outside in Delray Beach’s damp, salty air all season. Humidity gets into the enclosure, and suddenly remotes won’t pair or the keypad only works intermittently. We clean and reseal the enclosure, then re-pair all remotes.
- Photo-eye misalignment on narrow east-side driveways. On the tight 1920s-era lots east of the Intracoastal, the gate barely clears a car bumper at full swing. Photo-eyes get knocked out of alignment by the gate itself or by a delivery truck, and the operator refuses to close. We realign the eyes and set the arm travel to match the actual driveway geometry.
Ghost Controls Service in Delray Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Delray Beach’s east-side bungalow blocks force swing gates onto very short, narrow driveways. A Ghost Controls arm installed per the factory DIY layout often needs to be re-clocked and re-mounted at a tighter opening angle than the factory assumes. The arm hits the setback, the gate binds, and the operator throws an obstruction fault that no new board will clear. We’ve seen this repeatedly in the blocks around Pineapple Grove and the older streets running toward the Intracoastal, and we also handle Highland Beach Ghost Controls service calls with similar layout issues. The fix is not a part swap. It’s re-clocking the arm, re-setting the limit, and sometimes moving the bracket to give the gate the travel it actually needs. Western country-club lots don’t have this problem. Their drives are wide, and the gate can swing its full arc without touching a wall or a neighbor’s hedge. That’s why a technician who only follows the Ghost Controls manual will chase their tail on a downtown Delray Beach gate. We don’t. We’ve been into enough of these tight lots to set the operator up for the driveway that exists, not the driveway the manual imagined.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Delray Beach

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Delray Beach
Ghost Controls gate repair in Delray Beach typically runs $120 to $180 for a service call with diagnosis, $180 to $360 for battery and harness replacement, $220 to $450 for a control board replacement, and $280 to $650 for arm, bracket, or re-clocking work on a narrow lot.

What drives the cost is the failure mode: a battery swap is quick, while re-clocking a dual-swing kit on a tight downtown driveway takes more time and a second person. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll walk through what your gate is doing and what the fix should cost.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Delray Beach
That’s usually a low or water-logged battery pack, not the board. Heavy summer rain finds its way into the Ghost Controls battery box, and a partly charged pack makes the operator stall and reverse halfway. We load-test the batteries and inspect the harness before touching the board. If the pack tests weak, we replace it with an OEM-spec battery and reseal the enclosure. If the board has also taken surge damage, we’ll tell you only after the battery side checks out. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll test it before quoting anything.
Yes, and that’s more than a standard repair. The tight setback on Delray Beach’s east-side bungalow lots means the Ghost Controls arm often needs re-clocking and re-mounting to a tighter opening angle than the factory layout assumes. We re-clock the arm, re-set the limit, and sometimes move the bracket so the gate clears the way it should. If we just swapped the board, the same obstruction fault would return. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate on the specific driveway geometry you have.
Yes, and we understand how those associations work. In the country-club communities around 33484 and similar western Delray Beach neighborhoods, the HOA often specifies exact gate style, finish, and swing. We repair or replace the operator while matching the existing gate’s look and respecting the association’s approved design. We don’t put whatever’s on the truck in place of what the HOA approved. Out in the country-club communities, we had a homeowner’s Ghost Controls dual-swing kit with one arm dead and the other reversing halfway. We found a water-logged battery box and a corroded limit switch, swapped the pack and harness, dried and resealed the enclosure, and re-taught both arms so the gate matched the association’s approved swing and finish. A follow-up visit a few weeks later confirmed the gate still cycles clean after a storm cell. Call (833) 570-5807 to talk through what your HOA requires.
We handle both solar and low-voltage wired Ghost Controls operators. Solar-charged packages with tube-and-arm actuators are common in Delray Beach, and the battery side of those systems is where we see the most failures. We also install and repair solar and wired units across residential and commercial sites. Call (833) 570-5807 for a site-specific recommendation.
Humidity has gotten into the entry keypad or receiver enclosure, and the contacts or receiver module have corroded. We open the box, clean the board contacts, reseal the enclosure, and re-pair all remotes and keypads. If the receiver board is too far gone, we replace it with a Ghost Controls-compatible unit. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll get your entry working again.
