Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Electric Gate Repair Across Lighthouse Point
When an electric gate stops working in Lighthouse Point, it’s usually one of three things: a corroded control board, a seized hinge, or an operator that’s simply given up after years of salt exposure. We fix all three, usually in one visit. Hacienda Gate Repair is a dedicated gate company, and our techs work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators every week. If you’re in the 33064 ZIP code and your gate won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stop mid-cycle, call us at (855) 362-1433. We’ll diagnose it, quote it, and you’ll approve the price before we touch a single component.
Why Hacienda Gate Repair Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Electric Gate Repair Company
Lighthouse Point isn’t like other cities in Broward County. The homes along the canals and the Intracoastal were mostly built between the 1960s and 1980s, and many of them have gates that were installed decades ago and have never been properly serviced. We know these properties. We know the circular driveways off NE 22nd through NE 36th Streets, the side-yard gates on Lighthouse Drive, and the canal-front estates east of Federal Highway where salt spray eats operators faster than anywhere else in the area.
Most of our Lighthouse Point calls come from homeowners and property managers who’ve already tried the basics: new remote batteries, a keypad reset, maybe a replacement capacitor. By the time they call us, the issue is usually deeper. A hinge post that’s shifted, a control board that’s corroded beyond a simple relay swap, or an old operator that predates modern safety requirements. That’s our specialty. Roland Vega built Hacienda Gate Repair around one idea: gates deserve a dedicated repair company, not a fencing contractor who dabbles in electronics or an electrician who’d rather wire a panel box. We work on your brand of operator, whatever it is.
Our techs run calls in Lighthouse Point multiple times a week. We carry board-level replacement parts, marine-grade hardware, and photocell kits for legacy systems. That means fewer return trips and less waiting for parts. If you’re on the water, we’ve likely already worked on a home within a few blocks of you.
Styles & brands we work with





Gate Access Control in Lighthouse Point
Gate Access Control on a Lighthouse Point property usually means more than a swing gate with a keypad. It’s the keypad itself, the receiver wired to the operator, the remote programming, and often a telephone entry or card reader for a waterfront estate or a small HOA entrance. Older access systems in this city were often installed with whatever wiring was convenient at the time, not what holds up under salt air and humidity. We regularly replace corroded keypad wiring and outdated receivers on Canal Drive and Venetian Way, and reprogram the operator to match the new equipment.
Keypad and Remote Replacement
A keypad that worked fine for five years won’t suddenly die without a cause. In Lighthouse Point, that cause is usually moisture ingress through a cracked housing or UV-degraded gasket. We replace the keypad with a sealed unit, run fresh low-voltage wire if the old run shows corrosion, and reprogram all remotes in the same visit. Expect $180 – $320 for a typical keypad swap, including programming.
Telephone Entry and Card Access Retrofits
Some Lighthouse Point waterfront homes still have intercom or telephone-entry panels from the original install. These can often be retrofitted with a modern access controller without touching the gate operator itself. The controller and reader run $450 – $900 installed, depending on whether we can reuse the existing wiring or need new conduit along the driveway edge.
Commercial Gate Operator in Lighthouse Point
A Commercial Gate Operator in Lighthouse Point, FL is common at the marinas, private condo entrances, and HOA-controlled access points along Federal Highway and the canal-side streets. These are slide gates and heavy swing gates using DoorKing, FAAC, or Linear operators, many of them running 3 – 5 times the cycles of a residential opener. When a commercial operator fails here, it’s rarely a single component. It’s usually a combination: worn limit switches, a tired gear box, and a control board that’s been acting up for weeks. We diagnose the whole assembly, not just the symptom.
High-Cycle Operator Rebuilds
For a commercial slide gate in Lighthouse Point, a full rebuild including new limit switches, gear lubrication, and control board replacement typically runs $800 – $1,600. If the gate itself is structurally sound, a rebuild makes sense. If the track is rusted or the gate wheels are flat, we’ll tell you that too. One repair should not lead to another next month.
Safety Edge and Loop Detector Repairs
Commercial operators require entrapment protection, period. A failed safety edge or a vehicle loop detector that stops sensing a car is a liability. In Lighthouse Point, we replace safety edges and loop detectors on commercial properties at $250 – $550 per device, including testing to confirm the operator reverses properly under load.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We carry parts and repair knowledge for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That matters. A technician who only knows one brand will either guess at the other eight or suggest replacing a perfectly repairable operator. We don’t push product. We diagnose across nine brands every week, which means we identify the actual fault instead of selling you a new unit. For Lighthouse Point customers, we stock common boards, remotes, and seal kits locally, so turnaround is fast. Whether it’s a Viking slide operator on a commercial property or a Mighty Mule swing opener on a canal-front driveway, we’ve worked on your brand of gate.

AfterCommon Electric Gate Repair Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-seized swing gate hinges: Homes east of Federal Highway in Lighthouse Point get direct salt spray from the Intracoastal. Without regular lubrication or marine-grade hinge pins, swing gates bind up and strain the operator until the motor burns out or the board faults.
- Corroded low-mounted control boxes: Many 1960s and 1970s canal-front homes have operators mounted low to the ground, right where salt-laden air pools. After a tropical storm, those boards fail intermittently and often short entirely within days.
- Sagging gates from worn hinge posts: Older Lighthouse Point swing gates were hung on steel or zinc posts that have been corroding for 40 years in subtropical humidity. When a gate sags even an inch, the operator works harder, and the safety sensors misalign.
- Obsolete control boards without safety inputs: Pre-1990s operators often have no terminals for safety photocells or redundant entrapment protection. Those systems are no longer UL 325 compliant, and we repair or retrofit them with modern control boards.

FAQs About Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
Yes, if the board is the actual point of failure. After a storm, we test the board, the transformer, and the motor windings before recommending a $350 – $750 board swap. If the motor has drawn too much current from a seized hinge, replacing the board alone will leave you with the same problem in three months. Call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll run the full diagnostic before quoting anything.
Look at the gap between the gate leaf and the latch post. If it is wider at the top than the bottom, the hinge post has shifted. A sag correction that does not address the post will fail. We assess the post footing, re-set it if it’s sound, and replace it if the steel has rotted. In Lighthouse Point, most canal-front homes built before 1990 need post work at some point.
Yes. UL 325 entrapment protection requirements apply to all automated gates, regardless of when the operator was installed. Older control boards without photocell inputs cannot be made compliant. The fix is a retrofit control board that supports photo eyes and an audible alarm. Cost typically runs $500 – $900 installed. We do this on Lighthouse Point properties regularly.
We service both. DoorKing and LiftMaster commercial slide operators are common on Lighthouse Point condo entrances and marina access points. We repair limit switches, loops, safety edges, and control boards on both brands. Commercial rebuilds usually run $800 – $1,600. Call (855) 362-1433 for a site visit and a written quote.
The best fix starts with marine-grade hinge pins and grease with true saltwater resistance. If the existing pin is corroded, we replace it, and if the hinge leaves are too far gone, we swap the hinge assembly. This is not a spray-it-with-WD-40 fix. On canal-front homes, we also check the post footing and operator mount, because a seized hinge puts extra load on both.
