Call (350) 238-6295

If your FAAC gate grinds, sags, or refuses to close square, call (350) 238-6295. The page below is written for FAAC owners in Covina who want straight answers about parts, welding, and what it actually costs to make a gate right again. Victor Salinas, our owner, grew up in Charter Oak and has been fixing gates in this city since 1984, so none of this is theory.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 400 Series swing operators and hinge fatigue. The 400 Series uses an articulating arm that multiplies force through the hinge line. When hinge pins wear, the arm fights the gate instead of moving it, and the stress migrates into the hinge welds. In Covina we regularly see hairline cracks at the top hinge gusset on gates that are 10 years or older. We grind out the crack, weld it properly, and replace the hinge with an oversized pin. The operator then runs quieter and draws less current, which is how the motor is supposed to work.
• FAAC 750 and 844 slide-gate rail and roller issues. These are chain-driven slide systems and they expose every flaw in the rail. A worn roller, a rail that has settled out of level, or a v-wheel that has flat-spotted will make the gate jump or bind. We see this often in Covina’s older foothill neighborhoods where driveways shift a fraction of an inch every few years. We level the rail, true the rollers, and repair the rail track so the chain is not carrying the weight of the gate, which it was never built to do.
• FAAC S418 and C720 post-mount cracks at the base plate. Lightweight operator posts mounted to brick or stucco columns crack the welds over time. The arm pushes and pulls thousands of times a year and the base plate becomes the flex point. We cut out the old plate, fabricate a thicker one when needed, and weld it square so the operator stops fighting its own mount.
• FAAC 390 and E024 gate leaf sag from failed weld joints. Over 15 to 20 San Gabriel Valley summers, untreated steel expands, contracts, and eventually lets go at the top rail or picket joint. That sag makes the leading edge of the gate drop, so the lock receiver no longer aligns with the FAAC lock. We re-square the leaf, weld the joints with proper penetration, and touch up the finish so the repair doesn’t rust out in two years.
• FAAC photocell and safety-edge mounting points cracking loose. On many Covina homes the FAAC safety edge and photocell posts are welded to the gate frame. Vibration and weather work those small mounts loose. When the cell wiggles, the gate reverses for no reason or refuses to close. We don’t just tighten them, we repair or replace the mount so the safety system stays put and the gate stays compliant.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Call and describe the problem. A live person answers, 24/7. We listen to how the gate sounds and behaves, and we schedule a time that works for you in Covina or a neighboring community.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. We check the gate geometry, the operator arms, the hinges, the rail, the rollers, and the weld joints before we quote anything. On FAAC work, that means testing the leaf under load and verifying the operator isn’t overworking.
3. 3
   Written price, agreed before work begins. We tell you which parts are needed, whether OEM FAAC parts or a quality aftermarket equivalent makes better sense for the age and budget of the system, and what it costs. No surprises.
4. 4
   Welding and parts replacement. We make the repair on the spot when possible: welding cracked joints, replacing hinge pins, swapping rollers, leveling the rail, or installing new FAAC parts as needed. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they treat your driveway like their own mother’s.
5. 5
   Operational test under real conditions. We cycle the gate 15 to 20 times, check the safety edges and photocells, and confirm the FAAC operator is not straining. If the gate doesn’t open when it should and stay closed when it shouldn’t, we’re not done.
6. 6
   Cleanup and the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We leave the site clean and give you our written guarantee: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Covina

Gate parts and welding on FAAC systems in Covina typically falls into these ranges, depending on the size of the gate, how much welding is involved, and whether the part is OEM FAAC or a solid aftermarket equivalent:

• Hinge replacement (weld-in): $180-$420 per leaf, including parts and labor.
• Post replacement or a cracked post repair: $250-$600 depending on post size and whether we re-use the existing base plate.
• Rail repair or weld-only jobs: $150-$350 for a typical crack repair, re-alignment, and reinforcement.
• Gate roller and v-wheel replacement: $120-$280 per roller assembly.
• Full custom welding of a damaged gate frame corner or picket run: $300-$700 depending on the extent of the failure.

What moves the price is the amount of weld time, whether the gate needs to be un-hung and re-hung, and the part itself. FAAC OEM parts are excellent but not always necessary on a 20-year-old gate; we’ll tell you honestly which one fits the job. Every quote is settled before we start, and the first estimate is free. Call (350) 238-6295 to schedule.
