This page is for San Fernando homeowners who already know their gate has a Ghost Controls motor on it and want the metalwork underneath it fixed right. We’re an independent Ghost Controls service provider, not a factory affiliate. That means we can work on the hardware without steering you toward a whole new operator.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Hinge fatigue on heavy gates paired with the Ghost Controls TSS1 and TDS2 openers. These operator models are common on San Fernando driveway gates, and when a hinge bearing wears out, the motor works harder to compensate. We see the swing arm bracket taking the extra load until it cracks. Fix: we weld a reinforced bracket plate and replace the hinge before the operator burns out.
• Post lean on gates using the Ghost Controls VEHICLE sensor kits. The safety sensor mounts on the post, and when the post drifts even a few degrees out of plumb, the sensor alignment follows it. The gate starts stopping mid-travel for no obvious reason. Fix: we cut the post free, set it back to plumb with fresh concrete, and re-align the sensor to factory spec, then photograph the finished alignment.
• Rail and roller wear on slide gates retrofitted with Ghost Controls AXD or SLD operators. The operators are fine. The rail underneath isn’t. A worn roller puts a kink in the track, and the gate jerks at the same spot every cycle. That jerk eventually pulls the operator’s chain or belt out of tension. Fix: we replace the rollers, straighten or replace the rail section, and set the operator travel limits to match the repaired track.
• Latch and lock misalignment after Ghost Controls operator installations. When the opener was installed, the original mechanical latch often wasn’t adjusted to work with the new travel arc. The lock pin doesn’t seat, the gate bounces back, and the operator logs a fault. Fix: we weld a new catch plate or adjust the striker so the latch seats fully at the open and closed limits the Ghost Controls board expects.
• Aftermarket part incompatibility on Ghost Controls swing arm retrofits. We’ve pulled off generic arm brackets that were drilled to “fit” and wound up splaying the mounting holes. The arm wobbles under load, then strips the bolts. Fix: we spec the correct OEM-dimension bracket or machine a proper steel replacement, then torque it to spec and document it.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

Every Ghost Controls job in San Fernando follows the same sequence, whether it’s a broken hinge or a post replacement.

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You describe the symptom. We ask about the operator model, the gate weight, and when the problem started. If it’s urgent, a live person still answers at (747) 260-0589.
2. 2
   On-site inspection with a written finding. Adrian or a named technician checks the hardware, takes measurements, and writes down the diagnosis and the flat price before any tool touches the gate.
3. 3
   Parts decision. We tell you whether the part should be Ghost Controls OEM or a quality aftermarket equivalent, and what each costs. No surprise substitutions.
4. 4
   Welding or replacement. We cut, weld, machine, or swap what needs it, then re-set travel limits and safety settings to work with the repaired hardware.
5. 5
   Test cycle and photo record. We run the gate through full open-close cycles, photograph the finished work and any settings we changed, and leave you the record.
6. 6
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we touched isn’t right within a full year, we return and make it right. No argument, no fee.

What Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Costs in San Fernando

Here’s what we typically quote on Ghost Controls work in San Fernando. These are flat prices you’ll see in writing before we start, not ranges we narrow after the fact.

• Hinge replacement (welded steel hinge, single gate): $180-$320 depending on gate weight and existing hinge condition
• Post replacement with concrete set: $350-$650 depending on post size and whether the operator arm and sensors need re-alignment
• Rail straightening and roller replacement: $220-$480 depending on rail length and roller type
• Custom welding (bracket plate, latch catch, crack repair): $120-$280 depending on access and steel thickness
• Ghost Controls OEM arm bracket replacement: $140-$260 including labor and torque-to-spec install

What moves the price: gate weight, whether the post is set in concrete or dirt, and how much re-alignment the operator needs after the metalwork is done. Call (747) 260-0589 for an exact quote. The estimate is free, it’s in writing, and it’s the price you pay.

Why San Fernando Homeowners Call Vance Gate Repair San Fernando for Ghost Controls Work

Most gate companies know the motor or the metal. We work both sides of the bracket. That matters on a Ghost Controls job because the operator’s limit settings, sensor alignment, and travel arc all depend on the metalwork being straight, level, and properly loaded. When a welded hinge or a replaced post changes the gate geometry, we re-set the Ghost Controls board to match, then document every setting. You get the same paperwork habit Adrian Vance started on commercial access-control sites: a written price before work, a photo log when it’s done, and a one-year promise that covers every repair we complete.

If your property runs something other than Ghost Controls, we also service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, and DoorKing among others, so you’re not dealing with a new company if a different gate on the property fails next year.
