NW Automatic Doors repairs automatic and electric gates across North Wales — swing and sliding gates on commercial yards, car parks and private estates. Our engineers fix failed motors and gearboxes, safety edges, photocells, ground loops, intercoms and control boards, usually the same day, with 24/7 emergency cover when a stuck gate is blocking access or a powered gate isn’t stopping safely.
Urgent and non-urgent routes are kept separate, so a site-down call can stay focused on getting safe and operational.
Electric gate faults we repair
- Swing and sliding gates that won’t open or close
- Failed motors, gearboxes, rams and racks
- Safety edges, photocells and force-test faults
- Damaged ground loops and intercom/keypad entry
- Control boards, receivers and remote-fob faults
- Off-track, dropped or storm-damaged gate leaves
Access and safety in one job
A powered gate has to do two things at once: control who gets in, and stop safely if a car, child or pedestrian is in the way. A fault can lock your site or, worse, leave a heavy gate moving without working safety devices. We repair the drive and the safety system together and force-test the gate to current safety standards, so it’s both secure and safe to use. Where a gate has been quoted elsewhere, we’ll give you a free second opinion.
Getting your gate working safely
- Call us with the gate type and the fault.
- We aim to attend the same day and isolate the gate safely.
- We repair the motor, safety devices or controls.
- We force-test the gate and confirm safe operation before leaving.
Before you approve the repair
Clear fault finding before parts, replacement or contract spend
Commercial buyers need the opening safe, the fault understood and the next step priced clearly. We make the site safe first, diagnose the root cause, and explain whether repair, replacement or maintenance is the honest route.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
Can you repair an electric gate stuck open in Wrexham?
Yes. A gate stuck open leaves your site unsecured, so we prioritise it across Wrexham and all of North Wales and aim to attend the same day, with a 24/7 line for out-of-hours failures. We diagnose the motor, controls or safety devices and repair or make the gate safe on the visit.
Do you fix gate safety edges and photocells?
We do — and they matter. Safety edges, photocells and force limits stop a powered gate crushing a vehicle or person. If yours have failed the gate isn’t safe to run, so we repair or replace them and force-test the gate to current safety standards before we hand it back to you.
My gate motor hums but the gate won’t move — what’s wrong?
That usually points to a seized gearbox, a failed capacitor or a mechanical jam on the track or hinges. We diagnose the drive rather than guess, free or replace the faulty part and check the gate runs smoothly end to end, so the motor isn’t straining and failing again.
Do you repair both swing and sliding gates?
Yes. We repair swing gates on ram or articulated-arm operators and sliding gates on rack-and-pinion drives, from all major manufacturers, whoever installed them. Our in-house North Wales engineers are rated a flawless 5.0★ on Google and carry common gate parts for first-visit repairs.
Can you take over an electric gate another firm installed?
We can. We repair, service and maintain gates whoever supplied them, and you’re never tied in for call-outs, even under a maintenance contract. If you’ve had a repair quote you’re unsure about, send it over for a free, no-obligation second opinion before you commit.
