This page is for homeowners in Inglewood who own a FAAC operator and need the metal under it repaired, reinforced, or replaced. If your gate drags, sags, won’t latch, or the post has started leaning, you’re in the right place.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds solid operators. What fails on Inglewood driveways is usually the metal around them. Here’s what we see most often, by series.

• FAAC 400 Series (residential swing gates): The hinge welds on the gate leaf itself are the weak point, especially on heavier ornamental steel gates. Years of wind load off the coast breaks welds at the top hinge first. We cut out the old weld, re-weld with proper penetration, and add a reinforcing plate when the leaf weight calls for it.
• FAAC 770 Series (underground operators): The gate post takes the torque, and Inglewood’s clay soil shifts with rain and drought cycles. The post loosens, the gate drops, and the operator binds. We reset the post in a deeper footing, re-square the hinges, and the operator stops fighting the gate.
• FAAC S800H (long leaf hydraulic swing): These get installed on long, heavy gates up to 800 pounds. The bottom rail cracks just past the hinge because the operator’s force concentrates there. We weld the crack, then box the rail with a channel sleeve so the stress spreads instead of breaking the same spot again.
• FAAC sliding gate systems (740 and 844 lines): The rollers and the v-track wear unevenly on Inglewood driveways with a slope. A worn roller lets the gate ride off the track, which throws the rack alignment off and the operator errors out. We replace rollers with the right load rating and re-lay or shim the track so the gate rolls true.
• FAAC C720 and C721 (commercial slide): These show up on larger Inglewood properties and small lots. The rack bolts loosen over years of daily cycles. We re-torque, often replacing original bolts with Nord-Lock washers so the rack stays tight, and weld any cracked gate frame sections behind the rack before they spread.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s how a typical FAAC gate parts and welding job runs with us:

1. 1
   You call, a live person answers. We ask what the gate is doing, what FAAC operator you have, and whether it’s swing or slide. Then we book a visit.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. Our technician checks the operator, the hinges, the posts, the rollers, and every weld point under load. We identify what failed and what else is worn.
3. 3
   We hand you a written price. OEM FAAC part or quality aftermarket, welding time, post work, everything. The number is settled before we start. No surprises on the bill.
4. 4
   We do the work. Welding is done with the gate properly supported, not hanging off the operator. Parts get replaced, posts get reset, and any cracks get ground out and re-welded.
5. 5
   We test under full load. The gate cycles open and close repeatedly, the limits get checked, and the safety edges are confirmed working.
6. 6
   We walk you through it and hand you the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no paperwork, no exceptions.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Inglewood

Here’s what we typically see on FAAC jobs in this area. Every job is different, but these ranges hold true for most Inglewood homes:

• Hinge replacement (residential single gate): $180-$420 per hinge, including weld and finish prep.
• Post replacement or reset (standard 4×4 or 5×5 steel): $550-$1,100 depending on depth, footing, and whether the old post is salvageable.
• Gate rail repair and reinforcement (cracked bottom or mid rail): $250-$600 per rail, welded and sleeved as needed.
• Custom welding (gate frame, decorative iron, latch plates): $150-$500 depending on the size and complexity of the weld.
• Roller and v-track replacement (sliding gates): $300-$750 including parts, alignment, and labor.
• Latch and lock repair or replacement on a FAAC gate: $120-$350 depending on the lock type and whether the strike needs re-welding.

What moves the price: gate weight and size, how much of the old metal is reusable, and whether the operator needs re-alignment after the structural work. We quote everything before we start. Call (747) 340-9707 for a free estimate with a real number.
