“Matt did a fantastic job installing and setting up our entry gates, and then linking them with our garage door so everything works seamlessly from the one remote. The whole process was professional, straightforward and the end result is exactly what we wanted. It's made things so much more convenient and easy to use. Really appreciate the great work, attention to detail and getting everything working perfectly. Highly recommend Matt and the team at Into Action Automation!”

“I have dealt with a few gate technicians over the years and found Matt to be a real standout. Great communication, prompt service and affordable pricing. I will definitely be using him again.”

“Matt responded quickly to my initial call, appointment was set the next day, he was punctual, checked over all components and reset the driveway gate motor. Fortunately no parts required replacing so did not charge for the callout and service, unheard of today! Thank you for the prompt service Matt, I will definitely call you next time.”

Warranty service — parts vs labour
Plain English version
Warranty can be confusing, so here's the simple version. This applies to both gate motors and garage door motors:
Some manufacturers provide a parts warranty for specific components — this covers both gate and garage door automation equipment.
Labour, travel and onsite time may still be chargeable depending on the age of the install, the type of fault, and what the manufacturer covers.
If parts are required, we'll explain the process and confirm any costs before we proceed.
If your issue is confirmed as a warranty fault
If, after assessment, the issue is confirmed as a warranty fault, a refund of the call-out fee may apply in line with the terms on this page. We'll confirm this with you once the assessment is completed.
Warranty applies only to equipment we installed
We can only manage warranty claims for gate or garage door automation equipment that we originally supplied and installed. Unlike the automotive industry, automation manufacturers do not cover labour costs for warranty work, and there is no centralised service history or database that tracks whether a system has been properly maintained over its lifetime.
This means that for equipment installed by another company, we have no way to verify the installation quality, confirm the service history, or determine whether the required maintenance schedule has been followed — all of which can affect warranty eligibility. In these cases, we recommend contacting the original installer in the first instance.
Gate motor repairs & servicing
Whether your sliding gate motor has stopped responding, your swing gate is only opening halfway, or your solar setup isn't holding charge — we can diagnose and repair it. We service all brands of residential gate motors, including Merlin, Centsys, B&D, Grifco, ATA, and many others.
Common gate motor faults we see include dead motors, intermittent operation, limit issues (gate not fully opening or closing), remote control problems, safety beam faults, and track or wheel wear on sliding gates.
If a repair is the right fix, we'll do it. If the motor is beyond economical repair, we'll tell you straight and quote a Merlin or Centsys gate motor replacement.

When to repair vs replace your gate or garage door motor
Not every fault means you need a new motor. Here's a practical guide to help you understand when a repair makes sense — and when replacement is the better call.
✓Repair is usually worth it when…
- Motor is less than 5 years old
- One specific fault (remote not working, limit issue, safety beam problem)
- No history of repeated breakdowns
- Parts are still available and affordable
↻Replacement makes more sense when…
- Motor is over 10 years old
- Multiple faults (noise + intermittent operation + slow response)
- Parts are no longer available or cost more than a new motor
- You want a modern system with new features (myQ, solar, battery backup)
Unsure if you need a repair or replacement?
That's exactly what the free assessment is for. We'll diagnose the fault and give you an honest recommendation — no pressure to replace if a repair will do the job.
We'll give you an honest recommendation
We don't push replacements when a repair will do the job. And we won't waste your money on a repair if the motor is on its last legs. You'll get a clear explanation of the fault, your options, and our recommendation — then you decide. For replacements, we install Merlin and Centsys automation systems.
