Before
AfterGate Repair Before & After in San Fernando, CA
Photographs tell the truth faster than any claim we could print. A sagging gate, a cracked weld, a motor that groans and gives up: the before image shows the problem, the after image shows the fix, and the photo log we leave behind documents every adjustment in between. That record has been standard on every Vance Gate Repair job in San Fernando since 2014.
Recent Transformations
Swing Gate Motor Replacement on a Driveway Gate
The old swing arm had seized mid-travel, leaving the gate stuck at a 40-degree angle across the driveway. We removed the failed operator, welded a reinforcement plate where the original bracket had wallowed out its mounting holes, and installed a new LiftMaster actuator matched to the gate’s weight. Before we left, the limit switches were set and photographed at both open and closed positions, and the customer received a written record of the part number installed.
Slide Gate Off Its Track After a Vehicle Strike
A delivery truck clipped the leading edge and pushed the gate hard enough to pop the rear roller truck off the V-track. We jacked the gate, replaced both roller trucks and the damaged guide wheels, and re-trued the rail with a laser level so the gate runs without drag. The photo log shows the old bent hardware on the ground next to the new parts before the covers went back on.
Misaligned Photo-Eye on a Commercial Gate in San Fernando
The gate would open, stop, and refuse to close unless the keypad was held down. We found the photo-eye (the infrared beam that stops the gate if something crosses the path) drifted about two inches off-axis, likely from a landscaping bump. The receiver was aligned, the mounting post re-secured, and the safety reversal tested three times with a test block. Under Clause 4, the customer got photos of the beam alignment before and after, plus the test results written into the job record.
Cracked Gate Frame Weld at the Hinge Point
The gate had been carrying an extra 40 pounds of decorative steel since a remodel, and the hinge-side frame tube finally cracked through. We ground out the crack, welded it solid, and added a gusset plate to spread the load across a wider section of the frame. The gate now swings true with no flex, and the repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Keypad and Access Control Failure on a Residential Gate
The homeowner’s keypad had been dead for a week, and the control board was throwing a fault code every third cycle. We replaced the keypad with a weather-sealed unit, traced the fault to a loose ground wire at the board, and re-synced all four remotes and the keypad before testing every entry point. The customer left with a written summary of what was found, what was replaced, and the new access codes reset.
