This page is for Lewisville homeowners who already know they have a FAAC system and want straight answers about what goes wrong, what it costs, and how fast it gets fixed. If you’re not sure which brand is on your gate, we identify it on site. We service all nine major automation brands, so whether your gate runs on FAAC, LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, or DoorKing, the technician knows the hardware.

How FAAC Products Fail, and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds solid equipment, but every brand has its failure patterns. Here are the five we see most often in Lewisville driveways:

• S800H and 400-series hydraulic swing-arm drift. The arm loses pressure and the gate creeps open or closed on its own. The usual cause is a worn seal inside the hydraulic cylinder or low fluid. We don’t top off fluid and walk away. We find where it’s leaking, replace the seal or the cylinder, and photograph the final position before we leave.
• Limit-switch drift on the 770 and 400 operator series. The gate travels past its stop point and slams the post, or stops six inches short and leaves a gap. The limit switch has moved from vibration or a loose cam. We reset it, measure travel in degrees, and tighten it so it stays put. The new setting goes on the photo log.
• Control-board failures after power surges. FAAC boards are sensitive to voltage spikes, and North Texas thunderstorms are hard on them. The 455 D control board is especially common in Lewisville and we stock both FAAC OEM boards and quality aftermarket equivalents. We’ll tell you the honest difference so you decide with real numbers, not guesses.
• Capacitor failure on the FAAC C720 and C721 operators. When the motor hums but the gate doesn’t move, it’s usually a blown start capacitor. It’s a $30 part and 20 minutes of work. This is one of those repairs that feels like a full motor replacement if someone doesn’t know the brand, so we always test the cheap parts before we quote anything bigger.
• Photo-eye misalignment on FAAC swing systems. A photo-eye, the infrared beam that stops the gate if something crosses its path, often gets knocked out of alignment by mowers, kids, or a loose fence post. The gate then refuses to close or reverses for no reason. We realign, test with an obstruction, and note the beam position in the written record.

Our FAAC Gate Repair Process

Here’s what a FAAC repair call actually looks like, from the moment you dial to the moment we pull out of the driveway:

1. 1
   Call and describe the symptom. You talk to a person, not a queue. We ask what the gate is doing, when it started, and which direction it moves when it fails.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. The technician arrives in a marked van, introduces himself, and inspects the operator, arm, hinges, and photo-eyes before quoting anything.
3. 3
   Written price before work starts. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a written scope of work and a flat price. No surprise line items after the fact.
4. 4
   The repair. If the part is on the truck, we fix it right there. If it needs to be ordered, we tell you the part number, the lead time, and the exact cost before we order anything.
5. 5
   Testing and documentation. We cycle the gate, verify the safety edges and photo-eyes, and photograph every adjustment. You get that photo record before we leave.
6. 6
   The 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a full year, we make it right. No argument, no fee.
