We provide independent Ghost Controls gate repair across Lely, and if your opener stopped working after a storm or just quit mid-cycle, we’re the crew that traces the actual fault before touching a part. What makes our Ghost Controls work different in Lely is simple: almost every gate here belongs to an HOA or community association, so a dead operator is rarely just your problem. It’s a shared infrastructure issue, and we diagnose it that way from the first call. Reach us at (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate.

Why Lely Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
Ghost Controls openers are everywhere in Lely because they’re popular with builders who wired these planned communities in the 1990s and 2000s. The AXO swing kits and TX-series slide systems are solid when they’re maintained, but they have quirks. We know those quirks. Ruben Castellano, our owner, has spent nearly two decades tracing failures across every gate type Collier County throws at a technician, from salt-corroded slide tracks to storm-beaten swing operators. He trained in Industrial Mechanics at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, and that background in motors and control circuits is why our techs rarely swap a board before they’ve found the actual fault. If you don’t know exactly what failed, you’re just guessing with someone else’s money. We’d rather hand you a straight diagnosis and a fixed bill than sell you a motor your gate didn’t need.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Lely
- Battery and solar charge-controller failure after hurricane-season outages. Lely’s subtropical climate means summer storms knock out power regularly. The Ghost Controls 12V battery inside your operator takes the hit and never fully recovers, even though the motor itself tests fine. We bench-test the battery, replace the charge controller if needed, and get the gate cycling without sticking you with a new operator.
- Corroded control-board terminals and photo-eye lenses from salt air. The Gulf is close enough that Lely’s humidity carries salt, and Ghost Controls housings look fine on the outside while the board terminals inside are green and crusted. We clean and re-seal what’s salvageable, and replace boards with OEM units when the corrosion has eaten through the traces.
- Arm binding and repeated obstruction trips on shared swing gates. After a summer storm, posts and hinges on Lely’s communal swing gates shift. The Ghost Controls arm then binds mid-travel, the operator faults on an obstruction, and the gate sits half-open. We re-align or re-set the posts first, then cycle the operator, because fixing the motor without fixing the geometry just burns out another arm.
- Lightning and surge damage to boards and low-voltage runs. Lely’s community gates are often wired through perimeter walls and share electrical service. A nearby strike can fry Ghost Controls boards and knock out several entries on the same street at once. We trace the surge path, replace the damaged boards, and add surge suppression at the service point so it doesn’t happen again next storm.
- Keypad and photo-eye failures from UV and heat exposure. Ghost Controls accessory keypads sit in direct Florida sun for a decade and the membrane fails. Photo-eyes get hazed from salt and UV until the gate refuses to close. We stock OEM replacements for the common Ghost Controls accessory line and can usually swap them in one visit.
Ghost Controls Service in Lely: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Lely isn’t a place where you fix one gate at one address and call it done. The community is a master-planned, gated enclave where nearly every driveway passes through an HOA or private entry gate, and the housing stock runs to villa and single-family clusters behind shared privacy walls. That means a Ghost Controls failure here is shared infrastructure. After a July storm knocked out power along a Lely street, our crew found three community swing gates stuck open on the same Ghost Controls AXO dual-swing kits, each with a drained battery and a corrupted board from the surge. We replaced the boards, bench-tested and swapped the 12V batteries, sealed the photo-eye terminals against salt air, and cycled each gate with the guardhouse before the board’s morning window closed. All three entries were back in service the same day. That’s the real difference: our Ghost Controls repair in Naples diagnostic starts at the shared service and guardhouse log, not just the individual gate. If we only looked at the box, we’d miss the fact that the whole street lost power and the board sign-off window was the actual deadline.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Lely
We work on the full Ghost Controls residential and light-commercial lineup. That includes the AXO single-swing (TSS1) and dual-swing (TDS2) opener kits common on Lely’s villa driveways, the TX-series slide and rack-and-pinion kits used on perimeter entries, and the solar-charged DC systems with panel and battery harness that HOAs like for guardhouse gates. We also service the accessory line: keypads, photo-eye kits, and plug-in remotes. On parts, our approach is honest: we use OEM Ghost Controls boards, arms, and battery harnesses where the part number matters for compatibility, and quality aftermarket hinges, photo-eyes, and hardware where the OEM equivalent costs more than the duty cycle justifies. We stock the common items locally so Lely turnarounds don’t stall waiting on a part from out of state. Check our Ghost Controls sales & service page for more detail on what we cover.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Lely
We’re an independent Ghost Controls service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and we don’t claim otherwise. That said, we use OEM Ghost Controls parts where compatibility matters, and our work doesn’t void a Ghost Controls warranty on parts we don’t touch. For HOAs in Lely, our independence means we diagnose the whole gate rather than assuming the operator is the problem, which often finds the real fault faster. If your board or arm is still under warranty, we’ll tell you and work with the manufacturer on the part.
Both, and we’re upfront about which. OEM Ghost Controls boards, arms, and battery harnesses are what we install when the part number affects compatibility, because mixing control boards and motors across brands causes faults nobody needs. For hinges, photo-eyes, and general hardware, we use quality aftermarket parts that match or exceed the OEM spec at a better price. We never install a cheaper board just because it fits in the box.
Most single-part repairs, like a keypad or photo-eye swap, take one visit of an hour or two. Board failures and battery replacements typically happen same visit if the part is on the truck, which it usually is for common Ghost Controls items. HOA jobs take coordination time: we work around guardhouse schedules and board sign-off windows, so the physical repair may take an afternoon while the approval takes a few days. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll give you a straight timeline for your exact setup.
We service the AXO single-swing (TSS1) and dual-swing (TDS2) kits, the TX-series slide and rack-and-pinion openers, solar-charged DC systems with battery harness, and the accessory keypads, photo-eyes, and plug-in remotes. If your Ghost Controls model isn’t on that list, it’s likely an older or discontinued unit, and we still want to look at it. We work on virtually any Ghost Controls operator ever installed in Lely, residential or commercial, as well as Ghost Controls repair in Golden Gate.
Most Lely repairs land between $150 and $600, depending on whether it’s a photo-eye, battery, or control board. Diagnostics run $75 to $150 and get credited toward the approved repair. A full opener replacement starts around $1,200 and goes up for dual-swing or slide systems. The price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so you know the number before we touch a wire.
