A new grinding, squealing, or humming noise from a gate operator is an early warning, it usually means a worn gear, a dry or failing bearing, a bad capacitor, or debris in the drive. Catching it early is much cheaper than replacing a seized operator.
Note when the noise happens, at start-up, mid-travel, or throughout, as it helps pinpoint the cause. Don't keep running an operator that is grinding; continuing to use it can turn a worn gear into a seized, replace-the-whole-unit repair.
Our technician confirms the cause on-site, quotes the repair upfront, and fixes it — then tests the gate (and, on automated gates, its safety reversing) before leaving. Serving Burlington and the surrounding Halton and Hamilton area.
We diagnose the real cause and quote before we start. No surprises.
