This page is for Inglewood homeowners who own a Ghost Controls opener and need mechanical work: hinge replacement, post replacement, rail repair, custom welding, gate rollers, or latch and lock fixes. We are an independent Ghost Controls service provider, not an authorized dealer, and that independence means we repair what is still good and replace only what is truly worn.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Hinge wear on the GLD and AXXESS series. Ghost Controls gates are popular in Inglewood because the openers are affordable and the hardware is lightweight. The tradeoff is that the factory hinges are thinner than what we put on a welded steel gate. After five to seven years of sun and daily cycling, the hinge pins elongate and the gate begins to drag. We cut out the old hinge, weld in a heavier barrel hinge, and realign the gate so the opener is not fighting gravity.
• Rail and track misalignment on slide gates. The Ghost Controls slide kits bolt to the gate frame, and when the gate is a wood build, the lag bolts slowly wallow out their holes as the wood expands and contracts in Inglewood’s dry heat and damp winter mornings. The gate then rides crooked and the chain starts to slap. We weld a steel stiffener plate to the rail, re-bolt, and reset the rollers so the chain runs true.
• Worn gate rollers that flatten and chatter. The OEM rollers on many Ghost Controls slide installations are nylon. On a long driveway gate, nylon rollers flatten under weight, and the owner hears a rumble every time the gate moves. We swap them for sealed steel ball-bearing rollers and weld new mounting tabs if the originals have cracked. The opener motor notices the difference immediately.
• Post shift and gate sag on the ram-style DTP series. The DTP arm pushes hard against the post, and if the post was set in a shallow footing or the concrete has cracked, the whole gate leans and the opener arm binds. This is the most common Ghost Controls problem we see in Inglewood’s older neighborhoods, especially in Morningside Park where some posts have been in the ground since the 1960s. We re-set the post with a deeper footing, weld the hinge brackets back to square, and the opener works without straining.
• Latch and lock failures on pedestrian pass doors. Ghost Controls systems often include a separate pedestrian gate with a magnetic or mechanical latch. The spring fatigues, the strike plate shifts, and the lock no longer catches. We weld in a new strike plate, replace the spring, and adjust the latch throw so the gate closes firmly every time without slamming.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   You call and describe what the gate is doing. Our dispatcher asks what kind of gate it is, how long it has been acting up, and whether the opener still moves. We book a time that works for you.
2. 2
   The technician arrives on time and walks the gate with you. We inspect the hinges, rollers, rail, posts, and the opener arm, and we listen. Most Ghost Controls mechanical problems announce themselves before they are obvious.
3. 3
   We give you a written price before any work begins. The quote covers the parts, the welding, and the labor. You approve it, and only then do we start.
4. 4
   We repair or weld on site. Most welding and parts replacements happen right in your driveway. If a post needs to be re-set with new concrete, we schedule the return before we leave.
5. 5
   We test the full cycle with the Ghost Controls opener. The gate must open and close smoothly, with no binding and no chain slap, or the job is not done.
6. 6
   We walk you through what we fixed and hand you the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is not right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no argument.
