AfterAutomatic Gate Repair in Henderson, NV
Automatic gate repair in Henderson typically runs between $220 and $600 for most board-level issues, sensor misalignments, and limit-switch failures, with most jobs completed same day or next day. We fix the opener, the arms, the loops, the keypads, and the safety sensors so your gate opens and closes reliably again. At Latch and Post Gate Repair Henderson, we work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear systems, and every repair starts with a written price before we turn a single screw. Call us at (775) 210-7739 for a free estimate.
This page sits under our broader Gate Repair service, but automatic gates deserve their own attention because they fail differently than manual gates. Circuit boards bake in the Henderson sun. Loop detectors get confused by the caliche soil. Limit switches drift after hundreds of cycles a week. We diagnose these issues daily across Green Valley, Anthem, Seven Hills, Inspirada, and MacDonald Ranch.

When You Need Automatic Gate Repair
Automatic gates rarely die without warning. They blink, buzz, stutter, or reverse halfway. Here are the symptoms Henderson homeowners call us about most:
- The gate opens halfway and stops. This is usually a limit switch that’s drifted out of calibration or an obstruction sensor reading a phantom blockage. In Seven Hills, where gates run on long driveways, we also see this when solar-charged batteries are fading.
- The gate reverses after closing. Photo-eye misalignment is the top culprit, but in Henderson’s dust-heavy months, dirt on the sensor lens causes the same behavior. A clean and realign often fixes it in under an hour.
- The keypad or remote stopped working. Sometimes it’s a dead battery in the remote. Sometimes it’s a receiver board that’s given up after one too many 110-degree afternoons. We test both before recommending anything.
- The gate beeps but doesn’t move. That beep is the control board telling you it has power but the motor isn’t getting the signal. Could be a capacitor, could be a worn gear. We identify which before quoting.
- The gate slams shut or crawls open. Hydraulic arms and linear actuators wear differently. A slamming gate is a safety risk for kids and pets. If yours is doing this, call us the same day you notice it.
- The gate won’t respond to the loop detector after a storm. Henderson’s monsoon season and the caliche soil under many driveways can shift loop-detector wiring. We test the loop with a meter rather than guessing.
Our Automatic Gate Repair Process
Every Gate Repair Near Me in Henderson, NV job we do follows the same careful sequence. It keeps the work predictable and the price honest.
- You call and describe what the gate is doing. A live person answers, day or night. We ask a few questions about the brand, the symptom, and when it started, then book a visit that fits your schedule. Call (775) 210-7739 any time.
- We arrive, walk the gate, and diagnose before touching anything. Our technician checks the control board, the power supply, the sensors, the arms or opener, and the gate’s physical movement. We put down drop cloths and slip on shoe covers before stepping inside your home or garage, and we ask before moving anything.
- You get a written price before work begins. Not a range, not a guess. A specific dollar figure for parts and labor, delivered on paper. No pressure to say yes. If you decide to wait, that’s your call and we respect it.
- We repair the gate and test it through full open/close cycles. We don’t just fix the obvious fault. We cycle the gate several times, check the safety reverse, and confirm the keypad and remotes still work. If we replaced a board, we reprogram your existing remotes on site.
- We clean up and show you proof. Before we leave, we take a photo of the work area and show it to you. That’s the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. routine: Clean up like it’s our own home, Ask before we move anything, Respect your time, Explain the price before the work.
- Your repair is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair isn’t right, Latch & Post makes it right. No argument, no fine print. That’s the whole promise.
Automatic Gate Repair Pricing in Henderson
Here’s How Much Does Gate Repair Cost? (2026 Price Guide) - Henderson, NV, based on the jobs we see most often. These are honest ranges, not bait pricing. You’ll see your exact number in writing before we start.
- Photo-eye sensor realignment or cleaning: $85 to $165. Common after dust storms or when a kid bumps the sensor post.
- Limit switch adjustment or replacement: $120 to $230. Often the fix for gates that stop short or over-travel.
- Remote or keypad receiver board replacement: $180 to $320. Brand affects price, with LiftMaster and Linear parts generally the most affordable.
- Control board replacement: $250 to $550. FAAC and BFT boards run higher because of import costs, but we always quote the exact part number so you can verify pricing.
- Actuator arm or hydraulic piston replacement: $350 to $700. The most common big-ticket automatic gate repair, especially on heavier iron gates in Green Valley and Anthem.
- Loop detector replacement: $200 to $400, including re-cutting and sealing the loop where needed.
What moves the price: the brand of your opener, the weight of your gate, whether parts are in stock locally or need shipping, and whether the problem is a straightforward board swap or a deeper wiring fault. Henderson’s heat is a real factor too. Boards mounted in direct sun fail faster than shaded ones, and surge damage from monsoon lightning is common enough that we check your surge protection on every visit.
Every estimate is free. Call (775) 210-7739 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what the repair will cost before you commit to anything.
Brands We Service on Automatic Gates
We’re factory-trained on the opener brands Henderson homeowners actually have on their driveway gates. If you own a LiftMaster, we know the exact replacement logic boards and receiver modules for your model because we stock many of them in our Henderson service vehicles. FAAC and BFT hydraulic systems are common on the heavier custom gates in Seven Hills and MacDonald Ranch, and we carry the right seals and fluid for those pistons. Linear openers, which show up on a lot of HOA-adjacent properties, have their own quirks with their EXA receivers, and we know those too. When we say we can fix it on the first visit, that’s because we’ve already worked on that exact model before, not because we’re hoping the parts fit.
Answers to Common Questions About Automatic Gates in Henderson
How much does automatic gate repair cost in Henderson?
Most automatic gate repairs in Henderson fall between $220 and $600, with small fixes like sensor realignment starting around $85 and full control-board replacements reaching $550 or more. Your written price comes before any work begins, so you’ll never be surprised. Call (775) 210-7739 for a free estimate on your specific gate.
Can you fix my automatic gate the same day?
Yes, in most cases we can. We keep common LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear parts stocked in our Henderson vehicles, so board swaps, sensor realignments, and remote programming often happen in a single visit. If your gate is stuck open and you need it secure tonight, call (775) 210-7739 and a live person will help you right away.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my automatic gate opener?
Repair is usually cheaper if your opener is under 10 years old and the failure is a board, sensor, or limit switch, typically $220 to $550. Replacement makes more sense when the motor itself is worn out or the opener is 15-plus years old and parts are discontinued. We’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense and give you a written price for either option.
Why does my gate open by itself in Henderson’s heat?
Heat expansion can trigger a false loop detection on asphalt driveways, and direct sun on a failing control board can cause phantom open commands. We see this most on south-facing gates in Green Valley and Inspirada. The fix is usually a Gate Realignment, loop sensitivity adjustment, or a board replacement, and we’ll explain exactly which before we quote it.
Do you work on gates with battery backup?
Yes. Many Henderson homes have battery backup on their automatic gates, and we replace and test those batteries as part of any opener repair. A gate that works on AC power but fails on battery is a safety issue during outages, and we recommend testing yours yearly.
