Automation problem guide

Why won’t my electric gate open?

Power, motor, safety and mechanical clues behind a gate that will not move.

What to notice

The pattern helps narrow the fault

  • The motor is silent
  • The motor runs but the gate does not move
  • The gate starts and stops

Note when the problem began, what changed immediately beforehand and whether it is constant or intermittent. Photographs can provide context, but they cannot confirm that equipment is safe.

What we check

A structured professional assessment

  • Mains and backup power
  • Motor controls and safety inputs
  • Track, rack, wheels and mechanical resistance
