A commercial gate is your first line of defense—protecting your property, employees, and equipment. But like any mechanical system, gates can wear down over time. Knowing when your system needs attention—and who to call—can save you time, money, and security risks.
At Sarasota Gate & Access, we provide expert repair services for commercial and industrial gate systems across Southwest Florida. If your gate system sticks open, malfunctions, or doesn’t respond to access controls, we’re here to help.

What Causes Commercial Gate Problems?

Commercial gates experience constant use, outdoor elements, and electrical wear. Some of the most common issues include:

1. Worn or Damaged Gate Motors

Heavy-duty motors can wear out over time. This is especially true in busy places like warehouses, storage units, and apartment complexes.

Solution: Our team quickly diagnoses and replaces failing motors with parts from trusted brands like LiftMaster, Viking, and Linear. Learn more about our commercial services here.

2. Misaligned Tracks or Hinges

Sliding gates can come off their tracks, while swing gate systems may sag or misalign because of rusted hinges or constant vibration.

Solution: We offer complete repair and maintenance services to realign, reinforce, or replace failing hardware—restoring smooth, secure function.

3. Access Control Malfunctions

If your keypad, remote, or intercom system is not working, there may be a problem. It could be an issue with the wiring. It might also be a sensor problem or a software error.”

Solution: Sarasota Gate & Access installs and repairs all kinds of access control systems. This includes simple remotes and smart entry systems. We’ll test your system and get it back online fast.

4. Obstructions or Weather Damage

Florida storms, debris, or landscaping growth can interfere with gate sensors, safety beams, and motion paths.

Solution: Our technicians look for blockages, adjust sensor alignment, and provide regular cleaning and maintenance. This keeps your system running well.

5. Power Supply or Electrical Issues

Sudden power surges, blown fuses, or faulty connections can shut your gate system down without warning

Solution: Our licensed professionals inspect all electrical components and can recommend surge protection, backup systems, or wiring upgrades.

Your gate stops mid-cycle or doesn’t open/close
You hear grinding, squealing, or popping sounds
The gate drags, hesitates, or moves unevenly
