FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Nationwide

Q: Do you use OEM FAAC parts or aftermarket parts?

For electronic FAAC components like control boards and gearboxes, we use OEM parts to protect the operator's function and any remaining manufacturer warranty. For structural parts like hinges, rollers, and steel stock, we use the best available part for the job, OEM when that's the right call, quality aftermarket when the aftermarket piece is better metal. We'll tell you which is which and why, before we install anything.

Q: Can you do the welding on my FAAC gate the same day?

Most hinge replacements, weld repairs, and latch alignments in Little Elm are completed the same day. If a post is rotted and needs concrete work, we may need a half-day for the concrete to reach initial set before remounting the gate. Call (432) 547-6481 and we'll give you a straight answer on timing for your specific gate.

Q: Will replacing my gate hinges or posts affect my FAAC operator's warranty?

As an independent FAAC service provider, we can't speak for FAAC's warranty department. But we can tell you what we see: a balanced, properly hung gate puts less strain on the operator than a sagging one. If your FAAC operator is under warranty, correcting the gate hardware usually helps the operator, and we're happy to coordinate with FAAC if a warranty claim is involved.

Q: My FAAC gate is still opening but it's gotten slow. Is that the motor or the gate?

It's often the gate, not the motor. A slow FAAC gate in Little Elm is usually a dry or worn hinge, a leaning post, or a dragging roller on a slide gate, and the operator is just working harder to overcome it. We diagnose the gate hardware first, because that's where the fix usually lives, and we don't sell you an operator you don't need.

Q: How long does a welded repair on a FAAC gate actually last?

Done right, a welded repair on a gate leaf or hinge mount should outlast the rest of the hardware around it. We grind to clean metal, weld at the right heat and depth for the steel thickness, and inspect every joint before we call it done. If something's not right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers it, but the welds we lay are meant to be there for the rest of the gate's life. Call (432) 547-6481 with any question, and a live person will answer.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds a strong operator. What fails in Little Elm is usually what the operator is bolted to: the gate leaf, the hinge, the post, or the rail. Here’s what we find on real jobs around town.

FAAC 400 and 412 series swing gates: hinge bearing wear that the operator can’t overcome. These residential swing operators are built to push a well-balanced leaf. When hinge pins wear or the post leans even an eighth of an inch, the operator strains on every cycle. Homeowners report the gate slowing down or stopping mid-travel. The actual cause is usually a hinge barrel that’s been dry for years. We replace the hinge set, true the post, and the FAAC 412 stops working hard and starts working right. Little Elm’s summer heat bakes grease out of hinge pins faster than most owners expect, so we pack replacements with high-temperature grease a homeowner can’t buy at the hardware store.
FAAC 750 and C720 series slide gates: rail and roller damage from settlement. Little Elm sits on expansive clay. When it dries, it shrinks. When it rains, it swells. A concrete pad that was dead level in 2010 isn’t necessarily level in 2026. We see FAAC slide gates where one roller carries the entire weight of the leaf because the rail has settled. The gate grinds instead of glides. We repair the rail, replace the loaded roller, and sometimes shim or re-pour a section of the pad so the gate runs true again. The FAAC operator was never the problem, but it took the blame on the service call.
FAAC C721 series: cracked weld at the gate leaf’s mid-rail. These are often welded ornamental steel gates weighing several hundred pounds. Over years of start-stop cycles, vibration from the operator concentrates at the mid-rail weld joints. The crack starts small, a hairline you’d miss from the curb, then grows until the gate visibly flexes. We grind out the old weld, re-weld with proper heat and penetration, and the gate is stronger than the day it was hung. Victor Salinas has welded more of these than he can count, and he still checks every joint before calling a job done.
Post rot at the hinge-side post, regardless of FAAC series. In Little Elm, fence and gate posts set in concrete eventually collect water at the base, and steel posts rust from the inside out. The FAAC operator keeps working while the post quietly loses structural integrity. When the gate starts dragging on the latch side, the post has usually started to lean. We replace the post, set it in concrete to a depth appropriate for the gate’s weight, and remount the hinges before reattaching the FAAC operator.
Latch and lock misalignment on FAAC automated drive gates. Because the FAAC operator has an internal locking function on some models, homeowners sometimes disconnect or remove the mechanical latch. But on a power failure or a manual release, the gate needs to latch. We replace worn latches, align strike plates, and make sure the gate locks mechanically when released from the operator. The FAAC can do its job electrically, and the gate still does its job mechanically.

On every one of these, the fix is welded, bolted, or aligned by someone who understands the operator on the other end. That’s the difference.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1
You call (432) 547-6481. A live person answers, asks what the gate is doing, and schedules a visit. No voicemail tree, no callback queue.
2
We diagnose on site. We inspect the gate leaf, hinges, posts, rail, rollers, latch, and the FAAC operator’s mounting and travel. We find the root cause, not just the symptom.
3
We give you a written price before any work begins. You’ll know the cost of parts, welding time, and any operator adjustment. If it’s a repair over $250, we apply the $50 off offer. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
4
We decide together on parts. For FAAC-specific components like gearboxes or control boards, we use OEM parts. For hinges, rollers, and structural steel, we often recommend a quality aftermarket part that meets or exceeds the original spec, because OEM stamped hinges are not always the best metal for a Little Elm gate.
5
We do the work. Welding is done on site with proper heat settings for the metal thickness. Parts are installed, greased, and aligned. If the FAAC operator needs a travel or force adjustment after the gate hardware is corrected, we do that too.
6
We test cycling and clean up. We run the gate through multiple cycles, check the safety edges and obstruction response, and leave the site clean. Then we hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
