From new gate installation to same-day emergency repairs, we have the equipment, parts, and experience to handle the job. Below is an overview of every service we offer.
Gate failures can be disorienting, especially if the gate is blocking access or stuck in an open, unsecured position. Here's what to do:
| # | Step | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check power supply | Verify the operator has power. Check the breaker and any visible disconnect switches. |
| 2 | Use manual release | Most automatic gate operators have a manual release cord or lever for emergency manual operation. |
| 3 | Do not force the gate | Forcing a stuck gate can damage the frame, operator, or track further. Stop and call a technician. |
| 4 | Secure the area | If the gate is stuck open and the property is unsecured, contact us immediately for same-day emergency response. |
| 5 | Call Modena Gate Services | Call (267) 699-2705. We diagnose on-site and carry common parts to resolve most issues on the first visit. |
