We provide independent Ghost Controls gate repair across Schertz, TX, working on the solar and low-voltage swing operators ourselves rather than through the manufacturer. What makes our Ghost Controls work here different is simple: in Schertz we fix the operator and the gate together, because half the faults we see start with a post that heaved or a gate that warped in the sun. Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and our Gate Repair New Braunfels team knows these openers inside and out. Call (855) 939-0250. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Schertz Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
Ghost Controls solar and low-voltage swing operators are common on residential driveways, and we service them regularly enough to know their control boards, arm geometries and battery behavior without leaning on the manufacturer. That matters when your gate quits on a Sunday and you need a straight answer about whether you’re looking at a bad battery, a faulted board or a gate that’s dragging on a shifted post.
We’re a Ghost Controls specialist first, not a general fence or garage company that takes gate calls on the side. Schertz homeowners get an objective read on the hardware they already own. If the chassis and gearing are sound, we repair. If the operator is bent, rusted or fighting a gate that’s gone badly out of line, we say so plainly and talk through replacement.
We use quality parts that fit your operator’s voltage and gearing, prefer OEM for boards and receivers so your remotes and limits keep behaving, and schedule the visit around you. No guessing about which brand you have. Call (855) 939-0250 and we’ll get it booked.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Schertz
- Solar and battery kits losing charge. Central Texas heat and drought cycles take a toll on panels that end up shaded by new fencing or baked on west-facing posts. The gate goes dead on backup and the operator looks broken when the real problem is a battery that no longer holds under load.
- Bent or stripped tube-style arms. Builder-grade wood gates warp and swell in summer humidity, and that binding load bends or strips the actuator arm at the clevis. The operator is fine; the gate is loading it past what the arm can take.
- Control boards and limit switches faulting. Repeated voltage sag from aging batteries or undersized solar wiring causes gates to stop mid-travel or reverse randomly. Diagnosis usually starts with the battery and panel, then moves to the board and limits.
- Keypads and remote receivers dropping out. Heat and moisture intrusion at the post-mounted box is a common failure on newer Schertz subdivision installs. Keypads stop accepting codes and remotes lose pairing when the receiver ages.
- Hinges and posts out of line. Expansive clay soils shift fence posts and steel hinges wear out on original builder-grade hardware, so the gate sags and misaligns. The arm ends up fighting a gate that no longer swings true.
Ghost Controls Service in Schertz: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Schertz’s newer master-planned subdivisions, gate posts are frequently set in shallow concrete that heaves during dry spells. That single fact explains a lot of Ghost Controls calls. An arm that suddenly drags or faults is often fighting a post that moved, not a failed operator. West-facing gates bake in the afternoon sun, and that exposure accelerates the warp and sag that throw the gate out of alignment and load the arm. So a typical Schertz call is a solar swing kit that stopped opening or reverses mid-travel: the diagnosis starts at the battery and panel, moves to the control board, and more often than not ends at the gate itself, where a warped builder-grade wood gate on a heaved post is binding the arm. A qualified pro checks arm voltage and limits, tests the battery under load, and realigns or resets the post and hinges before condemning the operator. Knowing that difference saves you a replacement you may not need.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Schertz
We work on the Ghost Controls swing and solar operators Schertz homeowners actually run, including heavy-duty single swing kits like the TSS1, dual swing kits like the TDS2, solar kits with tube-style arms, and the Architectural Series AXS swing operators. That range covers residential driveways and small commercial entrances alike.
When we replace components, we match parts to your operator’s voltage and gearing rather than dropping in whatever’s on hand. OEM is our preference for control boards and remote receivers, since that keeps remotes pairing and limits behaving the way the system expects. We’re an independent shop, not affiliated with or authorized by Ghost Controls, so our recommendation is about what fits your equipment, not what’s easiest to sell.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Schertz
Usually not. A gate that dies late in the day is typically a battery that won’t hold a charge or a solar panel that’s shaded or baked, not a failed operator. We test the battery under load and check panel output first. Call (855) 939-0250 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Charging the battery doesn’t help when the gate itself is binding. Warped wood on a heaved post loads the arm past what it can push, so the operator reverses to protect itself. We check arm voltage, limits, hinges and post alignment before condemning the operator. Call (855) 939-0250; estimates are free.
Often yes. Heat and moisture intrusion at the post-mounted box causes many keypad and receiver faults, and a receiver or keypad repair can restore pairing without a full replacement. We match parts to your operator’s voltage and gearing. Call (855) 939-0250 for a free estimate.
It depends on your setup. A backup keeps the gate working through a power dip, but if the existing battery can’t hold under Central Texas heat, backup only helps once the battery and solar wiring are sorted. We’ll give you an honest read. Call (855) 939-0250; estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases the operator stays put while the gate is repaired. We repair the gate, reset the post and hinges if needed, then realign the arm so it swings true again, and we match HOA-approved styles when replacing pickets or hardware. Call (855) 939-0250 for a free estimate.
