Slide gate openers
Pad-mounted operators that roll sliding gates along their track.
Quick answer
What is an automatic gate opener?
An automatic gate opener, or gate operator, is the motorized unit that opens and closes a driveway gate when you press a remote, enter a code or use an app. Slide gates use a pad-mounted operator that drives the gate along its track; swing gates use an arm or pad-mounted operator at the hinge post. Eagle Automatic Gate & Door installs, repairs and replaces gate openers on every major brand, and as an authorized LiftMaster dealer we size each new opener to the gate and add battery backup and UL 325 safety sensors.

From our installer
“We’ve repaired and replaced gate openers of every brand across the Bay Area for years, and we always tell people straight whether it’s worth fixing.”
Repair or replace?
Should I repair my gate opener or replace it?
If the opener is fairly new and the problem is a sensor, battery, remote or a single board, repair usually makes sense. If it’s 10 to 15 years old, the brand no longer makes parts, it keeps failing, or it lacks modern safety sensors and battery backup, replacing it is often cheaper over time. We give you both prices when it’s close. Call our specialist to get yours checked.

Straight answers
Gate opener questions.
Still not sure? Call us and describe what your gate is doing.
Why did my gate opener stop working?
Common causes are a tripped breaker, a dead backup battery, a blocked or dirty photo eye, a failed board or a gate that binds. We diagnose it on site.
How much does it cost to install a gate opener?
It depends on the gate type and weight, the operator, power or solar, safety devices and access control. Every install starts with a free visit and a written quote.
How long does a gate opener last?
Often 10 to 15 years with service, depending on use, weather and how freely the gate moves.
Can you add an opener to my manual gate?
Usually yes, if the gate moves freely and the posts are solid. We fix any binding first, then install the opener and safety sensors.
Do you repair openers you didn’t install?
Yes. We repair and replace openers on every major brand.
Can a gate opener work in a power outage?
Yes, with battery backup, and solar-ready openers can run where there’s no power at the gate.
Can I open my gate from my phone?
Yes. Many LiftMaster openers work with myQ, and we can add video intercoms and keypads.
Is a new gate opener covered by a warranty?
Yes. Openers carry the manufacturer’s warranty and our installation is backed by a parts and labor warranty.
