You will know the exact price before we turn a single screw, and that price is not going to change when the invoice lands.

Call (817) 961-9404

This page is for the homeowner in Cleburne who has a FAAC opener on the driveway and an access system that has stopped behaving. Maybe the keypad stopped talking to the board, or the remote works when it wants to. Maybe you bought the place with the gate already here and have never quite trusted the entry system. Victor Salinas and the crew at Ironworks Gate Co. have worked on FAAC equipment in this town for decades, and we can usually tell you over the phone whether it is a quick fix or a replacement call. Reach us at (817) 961-9404 any hour, any day. A live person picks up.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 400 and 402 operator boards losing memory after a power blink. Cleburne gets its share of thunderstorms and line surges, and the early FAAC control boards on the 400-series swing operators are sensitive to voltage dips. The symptom an owner notices first is the access code reverting to factory default, or the gate refusing to respond to a keypad that worked the day before. We open the housing, confirm the board condition, and decide honestly whether a replacement board or a full operator refresh is the right money. We will not sell you a new motor if the board is the problem.
• Photon beam sensors knocked out of alignment on FAAC slide gates. FAAC slide operators, especially the 844 and 884 models, rely on photo eyes to hold the gate open for a car and reverse it if something crosses the path. In Cleburne heat, the metal posts that hold those sensors expand and shift a fraction of an inch. That is all it takes. The gate starts acting like it sees an obstacle when nothing is there. We set the beams, shim the mounts, and test the reversal circuit until it behaves like it should.
• Keypad wiring corroding at the connection point. FAAC keypads mounted outside a Cleburne gate take the full brunt of sun, rain and the occasional hard freeze. The failure is rarely the keypad itself. It is the terminal block where the low-voltage wire meets the keypad, crusted with corrosion until the signal dies. We clean, reterminate and seal the connection, then replace the keypad only if the buttons themselves are worn past use.
• Receiver boards failing to learn new remotes. Owners add a remote, follow the programming steps, and nothing happens. On several FAAC receiver generations, the learn function times out faster than the instructions suggest, or the receiver is already storing its maximum number of transmitters. Ironworks clears the memory properly, confirms the remote frequency matches the receiver, and pairs the remote on the spot. You leave with every remote working and the old missing ones deleted from the system.
• Phone-entry and video intercom systems losing communication with the operator. FAAC access systems that rely on a phone line or cellular module can stop triggering the gate even when the call connects fine. The issue is often a relay output from the intercom board to the FAAC operator, or an older intercom power supply dragging the voltage down. We trace the circuit, not the symptom, and replace the component that actually failed.

Our FAAC Gate Access Control Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. We ask what the gate is doing or not doing, what access device is involved, and when it started. We carry FAAC parts on the truck, and that knowledge shapes the first visit.
2. 2
   We show up on time and diagnose. The technician checks the operator, the access device, the wiring between them, and the power feeding the whole system. No guessing, no throwing parts at the problem.
3. 3
   We give you a written price before work begins. You know the cost of the parts and the labor before we touch anything. If we find a second issue mid-repair, we stop and bring you into the decision.
4. 4
   We fix it with the right parts. Where an OEM FAAC board or sensor is available and makes sense, we use it. Where a quality aftermarket part performs equally well and saves you real money, we tell you that plainly and let you choose.
5. 5
   We test the full system. Keypad entry, remotes, safety edges, obstruction reversal, and any phone or video components get worked through until everything responds the way it should.
6. 6
   We clean up and write the guarantee. Every job leaves with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it is not right, we come back. No forms, no arguing.

What FAAC Gate Access Control Costs in Cleburne

Repair work in Cleburne on FAAC access systems runs on a predictable range, and we quote every job before the first tool comes out. A keypad replacement including the weather-sealed connections typically falls between $275 and $450 depending on the keypad model. Remote programming is the least expensive call we make, usually $95 for the service visit to pair and delete remotes, with additional transmitters billed at part cost. Replacing a FAAC control board on a 400-series operator runs $350 to $650 installed, and adding or replacing a phone-entry or card-reader module runs $500 to $900 on most residential gates.

What moves the price is parts availability and how much of the original wiring has been exposed to Cleburne weather. A corroded terminal block is a $50 fix. A system that has been patched and repatched by someone who did not know FAAC equipment is usually more expensive, because we have to undo the old work before we can make the repair hold. You will always know the number before we start. Call (817) 961-9404 for a free estimate, and remember the 5% senior and veteran discount applies on every visit.
