Electric gate repair in Ojus usually means one of three things: a motor that quit, a gate that’s binding against salt-corroded hardware, or a control board that took a surge during a storm. We fix all three, and we do it without pushing you toward a replacement you don’t need. Our technicians work along NE 199th Street, West Dixie Highway, and the canal-front lots off 33160 every week, so we know what Ojus gates go through. If your gate won’t open, won’t close, or only works halfway, call (833) 570-5807. We diagnose the actual failure, quote the repair before we touch anything, and get your gate working again.
Why Miami Gate Company Is Ojus’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company
Ojus sits right on the Broward/Miami-Dade line, and its gates take a beating from Biscayne Bay salt air, summer downpours, and hurricane-season wind. We work on gate systems across Ojus because we understand what happens to them here. Hinge posts shift in saturated ground. Rack and pinion assemblies seize from corrosion. Solid infill gates stress their operators when wind catches them. Our team has repaired all of it, and we bring that experience to every call in Ojus.
Ruben Castellano leads our crew, and he’s trained our technicians to work brand-agnostic across nine major gate and operator manufacturers. That matters in Ojus because so many properties here mix older manual gates with newer automated systems. A homeowner near Aventura might have a Mighty Mule on a mid-century driveway gate, while a condo off NE 199th Street runs a DoorKing slide gate. We fix what’s there, not what a single manufacturer wants us to sell you. Gates are all we do, and that focus shows in the diagnosis.
We’re a dedicated Electric Gate Repair specialist, not a fencing contractor that occasionally touches openers. When you call us from Ojus, you get a technician who works on gate motors, control boards, safety sensors, and wiring every single day. We quote the job before work starts, and we stand behind the repair.
Styles & brands we work with





Gate Opener Repair in Ojus
Gate Opener Repair in Ojus typically runs $180 to $420 depending on whether we’re replacing a limit switch, a capacitor, or the full operator arm. Most opener failures we see in Ojus trace back to moisture intrusion, salt corrosion on internal contacts, or a power surge from a summer thunderstorm along the Intracoastal. We test the motor, check the capacitor, inspect the control board, and verify the safety inputs before we recommend anything.
Slide Gate Operators
Slide gate openers along Ojus canal-front properties work hard, and salt air shortens their life. We service Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite slide operators regularly. The repair usually involves cleaning corroded rack teeth, replacing worn limit switches, and re-setting the travel stops so the gate doesn’t slam or stall.
Swing Gate Operators
Swing gate operators on Ojus driveways face a different problem: saturated ground shifts the hinge posts, which throws off the operator’s travel. We correct the post alignment first, then service the opener. Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls swing arms are common here, and we keep parts on hand for faster turnaround.
Automatic Gate Repair in Ojus
Automatic Gate Repair in Ojus means more than the opener. We troubleshoot the whole system: motor, control board, safety photocells, keypad entry, loop detectors, and the wiring between them. A typical automatic gate repair in Ojus runs $220 to $580, with control board replacement at the higher end. If your gate opens partway and reverses, or if the keypad stopped responding, we find the actual fault.
Control Board and Safety Sensors
Ojus humidity gets inside control board housings, especially on older systems where the gaskets have dried out. We replace damaged boards, re-seal enclosures, and realign safety photocells so your gate meets UL 325 compliance. A photoelectric sensor that misaligns during heavy rain will read phantom obstructions, and that’s a repair we handle on the spot.
Keypad and Remote Programming
Keypad failures in Ojus often trace back to corroded contacts or a dead transmitter board. We reprogram existing remotes, wire in new keypads, and delete lost codes from the system. You get back full control without buying a new operator. If you need remotes for your existing system, we source them locally or from our parts stock.
Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
Ojus homeowners run a mix of gate brands, and we service the ones we see most often: Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We also work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems, so whatever you have, we know it. We keep common parts for these brands stocked for Ojus service calls, which means fewer return trips and a faster repair. Brand-agnostic means we recommend the fix your gate actually needs, not the one that happens to be easiest to sell. If your opener has a cracked gear, we replace the gear. If the board is fried, we replace the board. That’s the whole approach.

AfterCommon Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Salt-corroded hardware on older wrought-iron gates. Biscayne Bay breeze carries salt air that settles into hinges, rack teeth, and operator arms. The result is a gate that grinds, binds, or seizes entirely. We clean, re-lubricate, and replace what’s beyond saving.
- Saturated ground and leaning hinge posts. After tropical storms or a heavy rainy season, Ojus soil holds water, and gate posts shift. A leaning post makes the gate sag, scrape the ground, or trip the operator’s overload sensor. We reset the post, pour new footing when needed, and correct the gate geometry.
- Wind-load damage on solid infill gates. Ojus has plenty of solid panel gates that catch hurricane-force wind. The force strips gears, bends tracks, and burns out operator motors. We repair the drive components and can add wind-load reinforcement on shared lot-line gates.
- Phantom obstructions from misaligned photocells. Rain and humidity cause sensor brackets to shift, which makes the gate reverse for no reason. We realign or replace the sensors and verify the system reads clean through a full open-close cycle.

FAQs About Electric Gate Repair in Ojus
Every automatic gate operator has a manual release mechanism, usually a keyed lock or a pull handle on the operator housing. For slide gates, you unlock the release and push the gate by hand along its track. For swing gates, the release disengages the operator arm so you can swing the gate open. In Ojus, where hurricane season knocks out power regularly, we show every customer how to operate their manual release safely. If your release is corroded or stuck, call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll free it up or replace the mechanism so it works when you need it.
Storm-related gate failures in Ojus usually come from three things: power surges that damage the control board, water intrusion that corrodes the motor or wiring, and wind load that bends tracks or strips gears on solid gates. Saturated ground also shifts posts, which causes the gate to bind. After a storm, we inspect the full system: board, motor, sensors, tracks, and footings. We then quote the repair before we begin, and we prioritize Ojus calls in the days following severe weather. Call (833) 570-5807 to get on the storm-repair list.
If the hinge post has shifted, fixing the panel alone won’t solve the problem. The gate will keep sagging because the foundation it hangs from is no longer square. On Ojus canal-front and lot-line properties, shared fencelines make this more complicated because the post may sit on a property boundary or support a neighbor’s fence section too. We assess the post, determine whether it needs resetting or a new footing, and coordinate with adjacent property owners when the repair spans a shared line. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll tell you honestly whether the post needs work or if the panel is the only issue.
Humidity and rainwater get into keypad enclosures and photocell housings, causing corroded contacts, shorted wiring, and fogged sensor lenses. In Ojus, the rainy season runs May through October, and these failures spike during those months. We re-seal enclosures, replace corroded terminals, and use weather-rated components so the system holds up through the next wet season. If your keypad misreads codes or your gate reverses for no reason, call (833) 570-5807. Estimates are free.
Yes, we repair solar gate openers in Ojus, and we service Ghost Controls, Mighty Mule, DoorKing, Elite, LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems. Solar openers fail most often from dead batteries, corroded charge controllers, or undersized panels that can’t keep up after days of overcast weather. We test the panel output, replace dead batteries, and verify the charge system is sized correctly for your gate’s duty cycle. Call (833) 570-5807 for a diagnosis and a written repair quote.
If your electric gate is stuck, grinding, or refusing to respond, call Miami Gate Company at (833) 570-5807. We repair gate openers, control boards, safety sensors, keypads, and the hardware that holds it all together. Our team works throughout Ojus, and the estimate is free.
