How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
FAAC builds solid equipment, but every brand has its patterns. Here’s what we see on FAAC gates in Beverly Hills and what we do about it.
- Swing gate hinge post fatigue on FAAC 400 and 412 operators: The operator pushes hard against the gate leaf, and over time the hinge post starts to lean or the weld at the post base cracks. We see this a lot on Beverly Hills properties with long driveways and heavy ornamental steel gates. The fix is on-site welding to reinforce or replace the hinge post, then re-hanging the leaf so the FAAC operator isn’t fighting a sagging gate.
- Broken limit switch cams on FAAC S418 and S450 slide gates: These gates can drift past their stop point when the limit cam wears or cracks, which makes the motor grind and strain. We replace the cam with either OEM FAAC parts or a proven aftermarket equivalent and re-set the travel limits. That’s usually a same-day fix when we have the part on the truck.
- Worn gate rollers on FAAC slide systems: Beverly Hills has its share of fine dust and hardscape grit that chews up nylon rollers faster than people expect. When rollers wear flat, the gate drags and the FAAC motor works harder than it should. We swap in new rollers, often upgraded to sealed-bearing steel or heavy nylon, and align the track so the gate rolls clean.
- Weld fatigue where the gate frame meets the operator bracket: FAAC piston operators bolt to a bracket that’s welded onto the gate frame. That weld is a stress point, and when it cracks, the operator can push the gate out of square. We grind out the old weld, re-weld the bracket with proper penetration, and add a gusset if the gate design calls for it. No patch, no “good enough for now.”
- Latch and lock misalignment on FAAC automated gates: When a gate sags even a quarter inch, the latch doesn’t line up and the FAAC board may throw a fault or keep cycling. We straighten the leaf, re-align the latch, and make sure the electric strike or Magnalock releases cleanly before the operator cycles. A gate that fights its own lock tears itself apart faster than anything else.

Why Beverly Hills Homeowners Call Gatewood Fence & Gate for FAAC Work
Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates in Beverly Hills since 2001, back when he was still driving a truck with a cracked windshield and a toolbox held shut with a bungee cord. He grew up not far from Roxbury Park, went through the welding and fabrication program at Santa Monica College, and never really left the area. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road - that is the oldest accountability there is.
We’re not a company that shows up, quotes one price, and hands you an invoice for another. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. We service nine major gate brands, so when your FAAC system is down and a board isn’t the problem, we’re already trained on LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and the rest. One call to (559) 844-6989 gets you a live person who knows FAAC gates in Beverly Hills, not a script.
FAQs
We use both, and we tell you which one’s going on your gate and why. When OEM FAAC parts are the right call for warranty or fit, we install them. When a quality aftermarket part matches or beats OEM performance at a better price, we’ll say so. You get the choice with our honest recommendation.
Weld repairs to the gate frame, hinges, or post do not affect the FAAC operator warranty, because the operator itself isn’t being modified. That said, we’re careful to protect the motor, board, and wiring from weld heat and current. If your gate is under an active FAAC warranty, call (559) 844-6989 and we’ll talk through the smartest path before any torch lights up.
Most Beverly Hills calls get a same-week appointment, and emergency gate-down situations get prioritized. When you call, a live person answers and tells you exactly when we’ll be there. No dispatch queue, no call center three states away.
If the operator motor or board is fine and the problem is the gate itself - sagging hinges, cracked welds, bad rollers - repair is almost always the smarter money. We fix the gate in your driveway rather than selling you a whole new system. Show me the gate closing on its own and I’ll show you where it’s failing. Call (559) 844-6989 for an honest read.
Yes. When a FAAC gate has a parts or welding issue, we check the operator cycle before and after the repair to make sure the motor, limit switches, and safety edges are all working together. If the problem turns out to be electrical, we handle that too - it’s all part of the same gate.
