This page is for FAAC owners who need more than a motor reset. You’ve got a physical failure – a hinge that’s worn through, a post that’s leaning, a rail that’s cracked – and you want to know if it’s worth repairing before you spend money. We’ll walk through the common FAAC failure points, what the repair actually involves, and what it costs in North Hollywood.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• FAAC 400 Series swing gate hinge wear: The 400 series uses a nylon bushing inside the hinge barrel that dries out and grinds itself into powder, especially on gates exposed to North Hollywood’s summer heat. The gate starts sagging, then the motor strains against the extra friction until it faults out. We replace the hinge and bushings as a set, not just one side, so the gate doesn’t come back out of square in six months.
• FAAC slide gate rail cracking at the weld seam: On the 844 and 884 series slide operators, the gate rail often fails where the manufacturer’s weld meets the first support bracket. We see it regularly out here because the rail expands and contracts with temperature swings, and the factory weld was never gusseted. We cut out the cracked section, fishplate it, and re-weld with the rail clamped straight – not just bead over the crack and hope.
• Post lean on FAAC swing systems: When a FAAC 390 or 400 series gatepost leans, it’s almost never the post itself – it’s the footing. The original install poured a shallow pad, and years of gate cycles worked it loose. We pull the gate, set the post back to plumb, and weld a larger base plate with anchor bolts into fresh concrete. Re-hanging the gate on a leaning post just transfers the stress to the motor bracket.
• FAAC 770 series bracket fatigue: The 770 compact operator mounts to a steel bracket that cracks where it bolts to the gate frame. FAAC’s bracket is fine for light residential gates, but on a heavy ornamental steel gate with a North Hollywood wind load, it flexes enough to fatigue the metal. We weld a reinforcement plate behind the factory bracket and replace the mounting hardware with grade 8 bolts.
• Gate roller and track wear on FAAC slide systems: The roller wheels on FAAC slide gates wear flat on the bottom over time, and the gate starts dragging on the track instead of rolling. That drag trips the obstruction sensor and the gate stops halfway. We replace the rollers with sealed-bearing units and re-level the track so the gate rolls free. If the track itself is bent from a vehicle strike, we straighten or re-weld it in place.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   You call, we answer. A live person answers at (213) 566-1045 and gets the basics: what the gate is doing, what brand the operator is, whether it’s swing or slide.
2. 2
   We inspect and measure. Our technician shows up with the gate’s full range of motion mapped out. We check hinge play, post plumb, bracket integrity, and rail straightness before we touch a tool.
3. 3
   We write the price. You get a written scope with the parts, labor, and welding time priced out. You approve it – or don’t – before any work begins. No surprises after the fact.
4. 4
   We make the decision on parts together. OEM FAAC parts go in when the warranty or the operator spec demands it. On hinge hardware and brackets, a quality aftermarket part often does the same job for less. We’ll show you both numbers and let you choose.
5. 5
   We do the work, then we document it. After the welding and parts replacement is done, we cycle the gate through full open and close, set the limits, and photograph the finished work. You get the photo log and the part numbers in writing.
6. 6
   We stand behind it. Every FAAC parts and welding job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right – no fee, no argument.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in North Hollywood

Most FAAC hinge replacements run $280 to $540 depending on how many hinges and whether the gate has to come off the post to do it. Post re-setting with new footing and welding runs $650 to $1,200. Slide rail crack repair with fishplating is typically $320 to $580. Custom bracket fabrication and welding runs $180 to $400 per bracket, depending on the gate weight and access.

What moves the price on a FAAC job: whether the gate has to come off its hinges, how heavy it is, and whether we’re working with steel that’s rusted through or just worn. Every estimate is free and written down before we start. Call (213) 566-1045 for exact numbers on your gate.

Why North Hollywood Homeowners Call Vance Gate Repair North Hollywood for FAAC Work

We quote the job in writing before a single tool comes out, and the price you approve is the price you pay. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and it applies to every FAAC call we run in North Hollywood. We also leave a photographed record of every adjustment and every part number on every visit, which means the next time something acts up, we’re not re-diagnosing from scratch.

Most of the FAAC gates we service in North Hollywood are the 390, 400, 770, and 844 series, and we keep common hinge components, roller bearings, and bracket stock on the truck so most repairs don’t need a second trip. When a FAAC operator is beyond repair, we don’t push a replacement unless it’s the honest call. And since we service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing as well, we’re not steering you toward any brand except the one that fits your gate.

Adrian Vance built this business on commercial access-control documentation habits he picked up years before Vance Gate Repair existed, and that’s why we leave more than a fixed gate behind. We leave a record of exactly what was found, what was done, and what it cost. Name what you found. Name what it costs. Leave the gate straight.
