Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in electric gate repair, specializing in power, wiring, control boards and safety sensors on powered gates. We offer power testing and control board replacement alongside photo eye and edge sensor repair.
Our team provides wire tracing, loop and keypad checks, and a full sensor test, delivering a gate that responds to every command for homes and dependable access for both residential and commercial projects. Eleven years in, we have completed over 1,412 projects, the smallest being a single entry and the largest a six-gate property, and each gets 3 years of workmanship coverage for welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From metering the supply at the post to the final sensor trip test, our team handles every step. Serving Georgetown and neighboring Round Rock, Leander, Serenada and Cedar Park, we trace the electrical fault before anyone replaces a part that was working.

What you can hold us to
Nadine, Rocky Ridge, Steiner Ranch
A gate far from the house where trenching power would have meant cutting the driveway
Winston, off Brodie Lane, Sunset Valley
A property with six gates, three of them stuck open for months
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Winston in Sunset Valley, off Brodie Lane, had three of six gates stuck open for months, so we set up a monthly inspection with lubrication, sensors and limit checks across the property, an estimated $560 to $650 visit that takes an estimated 1 to 3 hours.
Nadine in Steiner Ranch, in Rocky Ridge, had a gate far from the house where trenching would cut the driveway, so we fitted a solar panel with a dual-battery operator sized to the cycles per day on her 12 ft double leaf, an estimated $2,600 to $3,600 job that took an estimated 6 to 8 hours.
A gate that will not move has a short list of causes, and the table sorts them by what you see and what we test.
| What you see | Likely cause | What we test |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing happens, no lights | No power or a tripped supply | Voltage at the post and the breaker |
| Gate opens but will not close | Blocked or misaligned photo eye | Eye alignment and edge sensor |
| Remote and keypad do nothing | Control board or receiver fault | Board inputs and the receiver |
| Gate reverses for no reason | Dirty sensor or bad wiring | Wire runs and the limit switches |
Owners in Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills often find that a spider web across a photo eye is the whole fault, which is why we start with the cheapest test first, before any board or wiring is touched. A clean lens, a straight bracket and a clear line between the two eyes cost nothing to check, and they save the owner from paying for a part the gate never needed.
Electrical repair is safety work. Most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction under DASMA's guidance, and a repair that bypasses a sensor to get the gate moving is never one we do. Texas 811 asks for notice before any trench to a new supply, and a private power line to the gate may need a separate private locate at the owner's cost. Wiring a new supply to the post may also need a separate electrical contractor, so we say so at the inspection. Ask your city for its latest fence and gate rules before signing.
The repair runs in this order:
Out in Volente and Lost Creek, long wire runs lose voltage, so we meter the supply at the post and not at the house.
Electrical faults are quoted after testing, since a dead gate can be a blown fuse or a bad board. For scale, an operator retrofit is estimated at $1,800 to $3,800 for each system, and a monthly service agreement is estimated at $88 to $113 for each gate.

Costs and times for electric gate repair are estimates and subject to change. Your written quote after testing fixes the final price and repair schedule, based on the failed part, the wire run and the parts on hand.
If the fault is the motor, our gate opener repair page covers it, and automatic gate repair covers hinges, posts and tracks. A new supply for a remote gate is covered under solar gate operators, and an intercom fault under gate access control. Our steel gate installation page covers new leaves.
After 11 years and 1,412 projects across a 45-mile radius, we have found that most electrical callbacks on other crews' repairs trace to a sensor that was bypassed instead of fixed. We repair the sensor, then stand behind the result with 3 years of workmanship warranty covering welds, hinge alignment, sag and travel.
Our repair radius is 45 miles from the Georgetown shop, which takes in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander and Serenada. Other towns we serve are listed on the service area page.
It depends on the failed part, and your written quote after testing sets the final price.
Most electrical work is an estimated 1 to 3 hours, as Winston's visit in Sunset Valley was, and a full operator job is an estimated 4 to 8 hours.
It is often a blocked photo eye, and across our 45-mile radius from Georgetown to Lost Creek that is the first thing we test.
Yes, a dual-battery setup like Nadine's in Steiner Ranch is tested for panel output and battery charge.
Yes, every operator has a manual release, and in Rollingwood or West Lake Hills we test it before touching the wiring.
City fence rules in Georgetown or Cedar Park can apply to this work, so your address gets checked before we quote.

Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
