This page is for homeowners, property managers, and HOAs in West Palm Beach who run FAAC swing gates or slide gates and need a straight answer about repair costs, turnaround time, and what’s actually wrong. We’re an independent FAAC service provider, not a manufacturer warranty center, which means we make the repair decision based on what’s best for your gate and your budget, not what a corporate flowchart says.

How FAAC Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 750 and 750S hydraulic operators losing pressure in the heat. The FAAC 750 line is common on heavier residential and light-commercial swing gates in West Palm Beach. The hydraulic fluid degrades faster in our heat and humidity, and the pump seals dry out. The gate starts moving sluggishly mid-cycle, then stalls. We drain the old fluid, inspect the seals, refill to the correct level, and calibrate the pressure relief valve. On most 750s, that’s a one-visit fix.
• FAAC 400 and 402 operator control boards throwing sensor faults that aren’t sensor faults. We see this weekly. The gate reverses, the fault LED flashes, and the homeowner assumes a sensor is blocked. On the 400-series boards, corrosion on the input terminal block from coastal salt air causes the board to misread the photo-eye signal. We clean and reseat the connections, apply a dielectric barrier, and the fault clears. If the board is burned, we quote a replacement before touching anything.
• FAAC 391 and E-SC 1600 slide-gate operators with worn drive gears due to poorly aligned track wheels. Slide gates in West Palm Beach sit on tracks that shift as the limestone base settles. The gate binds slightly, the operator strains, and the plastic drive gear strips. On the 391 and E-SC 1600, that gear is the first casualty. We re-true the gate on its track before replacing the gear, because putting a new gear on a misaligned gate just guarantees another failure in six months.
• FAAC XK series keypads going dark after storms. The XK wired keypad is weather-resistant, not storm-proof. A hard West Palm Beach downpour can push water through a degraded gasket and short the keypad’s microcontroller. Sometimes it’s recoverable by drying and resealing. Sometimes the keypad is dead and we install a new one, code it, and re-pair it to the board. Either way, you’ll know the price before we begin.
• FAAC photocells and safety edges staying in fault after a power surge. Our summer lightning season does real damage to low-voltage safety circuits. The FAAC photocell transmitter and receiver are paired, and a surge can knock one side out of sync. We test each pair with a meter, identify which unit is dead, and replace only what needs replacing. We never sell a full sensor kit when half of it still works.

Our FAAC Electric Gate Repair Process

Every FAAC job follows the same unhurried routine, because a gate that gets diagnosed properly is a gate that doesn’t fail again in three weeks. Here’s what actually happens when you call Latch and Post Gate Repair West Palm Beach:

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. 24/7, no voicemail. We listen, ask a few questions about symptoms, and schedule the visit around your day.
2. 2
   We arrive and walk the gate with you. Our technician puts on shoe covers if we’ll be stepping inside your home, and asks before moving or touching anything on the property. We listen to the gate run, check the board fault codes, and test the safety loop and sensors.
3. 3
   Diagnosis and a written price. Before any work starts, you get the exact number in writing, including parts and labor. OEM FAAC parts where they’re needed for warranty or compatibility; quality aftermarket parts where they’re the smarter money. No surprises after the fact.
4. 4
   Repair at the gate. We bring the parts, the meters, and the quiet tools. If kids are napping, we use hand tools over impact drivers. This is a residential block, not a construction site.
5. 5
   Full test cycle. We run the gate through open, close, reverse on fault, and safety-stop checks. We verify force settings and travel limits match FAAC’s specs for your model.
6. 6
   Cleanup photo and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Drop cloths are already down, but we finish by sweeping the work area and taking a photo before we leave. If the repair isn’t right within a year, we make it right.

What FAAC Electric Gate Repair Costs in West Palm Beach

Every FAAC repair gets a written price before we start, but here’s honest dollar context for the most common jobs we see across West Palm Beach. A limit switch or circuit board splice typically runs $125-$250. A control board replacement on a FAAC 400 or 750 series usually falls between $450 and $850, depending on the board and whether it’s OEM. A complete hydraulic pump unit for a 750-series operator can push past $1,200 with labor. Doorking-style gear replacements on slide systems land between $180 and $340. We’ll give you the exact number in writing after diagnosis.

What moves the price: whether we’re replacing a sealed hydraulic unit versus rebuilding a pump, whether the gate’s alignment caused the failure and needs correcting, and whether OEM parts are required for an active home warranty. We never charge for the estimate. Call (728) 203-0817 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before any work begins.

Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Call Latch and Post Gate Repair West Palm Beach for FAAC Work

Cody Beckman grew up in Los Angeles and learned gate hardware through a trade program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where the instructors let him take apart a LiftMaster operator three times before he actually understood it. That same patience runs through every job we do in West Palm Beach. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they know FAAC systems because they’ve spent years working them, not because they watched a training video.

Our multi-brand experience matters. On homes that run a FAAC at the front gate and a LiftMaster or Mighty Mule on the rear gate, we can diagnose the whole property in one visit. Ghost Controls and DoorKing are in our regular rotation too. Every gate comes down to two parts – the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That’s the job we focus on, and we guarantee it with the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
