About Alpha Security Group

Before calling for service, verify that the breaker hasn't tripped and that there is power going to the gate motor. Next, check if anything is blocking the photo-eye sensors (like dirt, leaves, or a parked car), as this is a built-in safety feature that will prevent the gate from moving. If the power is on and the path is clear but the gate still won't budge, turn off the system to prevent motor damage and call us for a professional diagnostic.

Yes. A failing gate isn't always an electrical issue; sometimes it's structural. We provide expert welding services to repair broken swing gate arms, reattach torn hinges, fix sagging frames, and install heavy-duty track stoppers. We ensure the physical structure of your gate is solid so the motor can operate without unnecessary strain.

Absolutely. Heavy sliding gates (weighing 500 lbs or more) can derail due to worn-out V-groove wheels, damaged tracks, or shifting concrete. We have the equipment and expertise to safely lift the gate, replace the worn components, secure the track, and get it running smoothly again.

Most modern gate operators we install come equipped with a battery backup system that allows for a certain number of cycles even when the power is out. If your system does not have a battery backup, there is a manual release key or lever on the motor that allows you to disengage the drive and push the gate open by hand.

Yes, we handle the entire process from fabrication to installation. Whether you are looking for an elegant custom wrought-iron design for a residential estate, a wood-paneled privacy gate, or a heavy-duty chain-link sliding gate for an industrial facility, we fabricate it to your exact specifications and automate it.

This largely depends on your property layout. Sliding gates are ideal for driveways with limited space, steep inclines, or commercial properties requiring maximum security. Swing gates require enough clearance to swing inward or outward without hitting vehicles or the street, making them a beautiful option for larger residential driveways and estates. We provide free on-site consultations to help you determine the best fit.

In most cases, yes. As long as the existing gate structure is sound and moves smoothly on its hinges or track, we can retrofit it with an automated gate operator. We will assess the weight and length of your gate to install the correct motor and integrate it with your choice of access control.

Yes! We install state-of-the-art access control and intercom systems that connect directly to your home or business Wi-Fi. This allows you to receive video calls from visitors, open the gate remotely, and monitor access history right from an app on your smartphone, no matter where you are.

Safety is our top priority. All our installations comply with UL 325 safety standards. This includes installing photo-eye sensors (which stop the gate if a person or vehicle crosses its path) and in-ground exit loops or safety wands that detect metal to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle.
