Gate Motor Repairs & Solar Swing Gate Fixes — South Maclean
Solar gate not charging? Swing gate not opening? We service South Maclean.
South Maclean properties often rely on solar swing gate automation because running low-voltage cabling back to the house can be impractical.

Solar swing gate not working — batteries dead + low panel output
We attended a South Maclean property where the swing gate motor had stopped working. We tested the batteries and checked solar panel output and found the batteries were dead and the panel output was low.
This site is heavily tree-covered, so solar isn't the easiest setup to begin with — but running low-voltage cable back to the home wasn't feasible due to distance. Our goal was to get the most out of the existing solar setup.
What we did:
Before/after: improving solar charging by upgrading batteries and relocating the panel for better sun exposure.
Centsys swing gate automation repair — charging fault + faulty operator arm
We attended a South Maclean property with a Centsys swing gate automation system that wasn't working reliably. We traced the fault to a faulty solar connection, repaired it, and then identified that one operator arm was also faulty.
Even though we didn't supply the arm, we drove it to the manufacturer as a courtesy to get it replaced, then returned to complete the job.
What we did:
Why solar swing gates fail (and how we fix them)
