Electric Gate Warranty: What You Need to Know and What to Look For

Electric Gate Warranty: What You Need to Know and What to Look For FAQ's

Are there any specific maintenance requirements for electric gates that could affect the warranty coverage?

Maintenance requirements can indeed impact the coverage of your electric gate warranty. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance guidelines to ensure that your warranty remains valid. Failure to do so may result in the warranty being voided. Regular maintenance tasks such as lubricating moving parts, inspecting electrical connections, and cleaning the gate can help prevent issues and prolong the lifespan of your gate. Be sure to keep records of maintenance activities as proof of compliance with warranty requirements.

Can an electric gate warranty be transferred to a new owner if the property is sold?

When selling a property with an electric gate, you may wonder if the warranty can be transferred to the new owner. The transferability of an electric gate warranty depends on the specific terms outlined in the warranty agreement. It is essential to review the document carefully to understand the legal implications of transferring the warranty. Some warranties may allow for transfer, while others may require the new owner to purchase a new warranty.

What happens if the electric gate is damaged due to natural disasters or extreme weather conditions?

If the electric gate is damaged due to natural disasters or extreme weather conditions, the electric gate warranty may provide coverage for vandalism and power surges. Vandalism coverage ensures that any damage caused by deliberate acts is included in the warranty. Power surge coverage protects against electrical fluctuations that can damage the gate. It’s important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the warranty to understand the extent of coverage for these specific situations.

Are there any limitations on the number of repairs or replacements covered under the warranty?

There is an important aspect to consider when it comes to the limitations on repairs covered under a warranty. According to a recent study, 75% of electric gate warranties have a cap on the number of repairs or replacements that are included. This means that after reaching the specified limit, you may be responsible for any additional costs. It is crucial to carefully review the warranty coverage and understand the terms and conditions to avoid any unexpected expenses.

Is professional installation required in order to be eligible for an electric gate warranty?

Professional installation is a requirement to be eligible for warranty coverage on an electric gate. This means that you must have your gate installed by a qualified and certified professional in order to ensure that it is done correctly and meets all necessary safety and operational standards. By having professional installation, you can guarantee that your gate is properly installed and avoid any potential issues that may void the warranty coverage.

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
