Gate repair in Orlando, Florida
Central Florida is master-planned community territory, and it sits in the most lightning-prone region of the country, which shapes what fails here.
Community gate specialists · Surge damage · 24/7 dispatch
Central Florida has the highest lightning density in the United States, and gate control boards are the casualty. Surge damage is our single most common Orlando callout, and it is almost always a board rather than an operator. A gate that died during a summer storm is usually a $300 to $700 repair, not a replacement.
The second factor is the sheer number of master-planned communities across Orange, Seminole and Osceola. Shared entrances, telephone entry directories and high cycle counts mean much of our work here is HOA rather than residential.

Surge protection is worth more here than almost anywhere
Given the lightning density, surge protection on a gate operator pays for itself faster in Central Florida than in most of the country. It is inexpensive to fit alongside a board replacement, and we raise it whenever we are already in the housing rather than as a separate sales call.

Gate died in a storm?
In Central Florida that is usually a board, not a motor. Get it diagnosed before anyone quotes you a replacement.
