Call (442) 255-3886

This page is for West Hollywood homeowners whose Ghost Controls opener works fine but whose gate itself is sagging, dragging, or coming apart at the welds. If that’s you, call (442) 255-3886 and Victor Salinas or one of our techs will give you a straight answer about what’s actually wrong.

We’re an independent Ghost Controls service provider, not an authorized dealer. That means we’re free to recommend the repair that makes sense for your gate, not the one that satisfies a manufacturer program.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Ghost Controls builds a solid opener, but the mechanical components of the gate it’s driving take abuse no circuit board has to deal with. Here’s what we see on Ghost Controls-equipped gates in West Hollywood, week after week:

• Hinge wear on the AXD and AXP series. These openers are often paired with ornamental steel driveway gates that weigh more than the original hinges were rated for. The bottom hinge takes the brunt, the gate starts to drag, and the opener strains. We replace the hinge with a heavier-rated unit, weld it square, and the motor stops working so hard.
• Post fatigue on hillside lots. West Hollywood’s older hillside properties have gate posts set decades ago, often shallow or resting in soil that shifts with every rain. A Ghost Controls opener will keep pushing a gate whose post is leaning, which accelerates the problem. We excavate, reset or replace the post, and weld a fresh hinge plate in the correct plane.
• Rail and track separation on cantilever gates. Ghost Controls is popular on sliding gates, and the rail welds are the first thing to stress-crack when the wheels wear unevenly. We re-weld the rail, dress the bead, and replace the rollers so the load distributes evenly.
• Gate rollover or picket separation. It’s not a motor problem; it’s a welding problem. We see gates where the ornamental iron pickets have separated from the bottom rail, which lets the whole frame flex. Ghost Controls limit settings get thrown off when a gate flexes. We weld the pickets back to the rail at the correct spacing, then recalibrate the limits.
• Latch and lock misalignment. On Ghost Controls jobs with a maglock or mechanical latch, the striker plate often moves as the gate settles. The opener fights the latch, and the homeowner hears groaning at the end of each cycle. We realign the latch, shim or re-weld the strike, and the cycle quiets down.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s what happens when you call us about a Ghost Controls gate that needs parts or welding work:

1. 1
   You call (442) 255-3886. A live person answers, 24/7. We ask what the gate is doing, what opener you have, and whether you’ve noticed dragging, noise, or a lean.
2. 2
   We schedule the visit. We’ll be there when we say. You’ll know who’s coming and when before we hang up.
3. 3
   Diagnosis on-site. We check the welds, hinges, posts, rollers, and the Ghost Controls opener’s travel and limit behavior. We figure out whether the problem is mechanical, electrical, or both.
4. 4
   Parts decision. We use OEM Ghost Controls components when the opener side needs parts. For hinges, rollers, and structural steel, we source from industrial suppliers whose components meet or exceed the original spec. We’ll explain what we’re using and why before we start.
5. 5
   The repair. Welding, hinge replacement, post work, rail repair, or latch alignment happens on-site. Most jobs are done in one visit.
6. 6
   Test and finish. We cycle the gate through full open and close at least six times, check the Ghost Controls force settings, and walk the gate with you before we leave. Then we put the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
