Gate Services for Homes, Acreage and Shared Entrances

Centerra Gate Services handles four kinds of work: repairing gates that sag, drag or will not latch; servicing and replacing the openers and access controls that move them; installing new gates and operators; and routine maintenance that keeps the rest from happening. We work on swing and sliding gates, driveway gates, ranch-style entries on acreage and horse properties, HOA entrance gates and shared gates on small commercial lots.

Most calls are for automatic gate repair, new driveway gates and opener replacement. The pages below explain each service in plain terms, and the table after them matches the most common situations to the service that usually fits.

Which Service Fits the Gate’s Problem

A gate problem usually shows up as one of a handful of symptoms. This is where each one tends to lead; the visit itself confirms it.

Not Sure What You Need?

Look at the gate for a minute and note which of these sounds closest. Any one of them is enough to start a request.

• The gate moves slowly: often a tired battery, a weak motor or a dragging roller; start with opener service.
• The gate stops partway: usually a safety sensor, an obstruction or the operator’s force settings; see the stuck-gate guide.
• The gate will not latch: almost always sag at the hinges or a post that has moved; that is gate repair.
• There is no gate yet: installation, starting with the opening, the slope and where power can reach.
• You just want it checked: a routine maintenance visit, ideally in the fall before snow and cold arrive.

Two situations come up often enough to have pages of their own:

• Gate won’t open or is stuck: a symptom-by-symptom troubleshooter and what to check first.
• Getting a gate ready for winter: a short readiness check before snow and cold.
