We provide independent Ghost Controls repair, service, and installation across Weir, TX. The one thing that makes Ghost Controls work in Weir different: most of these arms are mounted to gates the owner welded or hung by hand on a large rural lot, so the repair usually starts with the gate frame before it ever gets to the operator. We specialize exclusively in gates, and Ghost Controls solar and AC swing operators are a big part of what we do. Our technicians have up to 13 years of experience. Call (833) 408-4022 for a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch, 7am-7pm.
Why Weir Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
Ghost Controls builds solar and AC swing-gate operators, and we work on them every week. From the original ECO series through the newer 500/700/900-style controls, we know their battery, board, and arm habits first-hand. That matters in Weir, where an operator isn’t sitting on a factory-built subdivision gate but on a custom iron, cedar, or chain-link gate hung on a big rural lot.
We’re an independent repair resource. We’re not authorized or endorsed by Ghost Controls, and we don’t pretend otherwise. What we bring is a gate-only focus: we service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, and nothing outside gates. Fast diagnosis, the right part, fixed right, because we work on these systems every day. When you call, we book a free estimate, measure the gate, and quote the job in writing before any work starts.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Weir
Here’s what we actually find on Ghost Controls units around Weir, and how the local conditions feed into each one.
- Batteries that won’t hold reserve. Solar-charged battery packs lose capacity after repeated Central Texas heat cycles, and the arm starts stalling or reversing mid-travel on a single charge. A load test tells us whether it’s the pack or something upstream. Battery backup replacement is one of our most common Weir calls.
- Control-board and limit-switch faults from debris. Wind-driven dust and tumbleweed off open pasture pack into the arm housing and the track area. That grit works into the switches and the board, and the gate stops responding cleanly. Clearing it and testing the board is part of almost every service visit out here.
- Arm bracket and pivot wear on owner-welded pipe gates. When the gate frame itself has shifted on expansive clay soil, the bracket and pivot take the strain and the limit travel goes out. The operator gets blamed for a gate that has actually moved.
- Keypad, remote, and receiver dropouts. Lightning-season surges or low battery voltage knock the pairing out, leaving a gate that opens fine by hand but ignores every remote. Re-pairing and checking voltage solves most of these. Motor repair and board-level diagnosis handle the rest.
- Sagging and misaligned latches after a wet spring. Clay soils swell and shift, posts move, and a gate that closed cleanly in dry weather drags or won’t latch. Gate realignment brings the frame back true so the arm can do its job.
Ghost Controls Service in Weir: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Weir is a small, unincorporated community, and most properties sit on large rural lots without HOA oversight or municipal permitting. That single fact shapes every Ghost Controls job here. Your gate is very likely a custom, one-off driveway or livestock gate that someone welded or hung by hand, not a standardized panel from a subdivision build. So a Ghost Controls repair in Weir is essentially a field repair: we measure a frame that exists in exactly one size, true it up, and then dial in the operator to match. You can’t swap in a stock bracket and walk away, and you can’t blame a tired arm for a gate that has racked. Properties are predominantly ranch-style and manufactured homes on multi-acre tracts, and gates are commonly built from welded steel pipe, cedar, or chain-link, often owner-installed and aging. That means matching custom dimensions and salvaging non-standard hardware is normal work here, not a special case. If your operator is fighting a frame that has moved, no amount of board-level tinkering fixes it. We repair, realign, and remount with that in mind.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Weir
We service the Ghost Controls swing operators you’re likely to have: the ECO series solar units, the 500/700/900-series swing operators, single and dual-arm Automatic Gate Opener Kits, and tubular or solar-charged arm units mounted on custom pipe gates. When a unit is still serviceable, we use genuine Ghost Controls replacement batteries, control boards, and arms so the operator behaves the way it was built to. For the gate itself, quality aftermarket brackets, hinges, and hardware do the job fine. If the operator is old, water-intruded, or the gate frame is badly racked, we’ll tell you straight: rebuild the gate and remount rather than keep chasing board-level faults. That’s an honest repair-or-replace call, and we make it based on what’s actually in front of us.

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Weir
Every Ghost Controls job in Weir is priced per job. The written estimate sets the final price, and you approve that number before any work starts, so there’s no invoice surprise at the end.
- Diagnosis and board/remote pairing: quoted per visit after we test the unit and check voltage.
- Battery backup replacement: priced on the pack the operator takes plus the labor to install and re-test.
- Motor repair and control-board work: quoted once we’ve confirmed the fault is in the operator and not the gate.
- Gate realignment or re-hanging: priced on the frame, the posts, and how far things have shifted on the clay.
What drives cost is whether the frame has to move, whether the arm and board are salvageable, and how much custom fitting the gate needs. A free estimate includes a look at the gate frame, the arm and bracket, the battery under load, and the track and hinge condition. Call (833) 408-4022 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Weir
It’s usually the battery first, but the board can be the cause. A pack that has lost reserve after Central Texas heat cycles will stall or reverse the arm mid-travel, and a load test settles it quickly. If the pack holds up, we test the board and limit switches next. Call (833) 408-4022 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes, and that’s most of what we see in Weir. The arm has to be mounted to a frame that’s true, so we usually re-true or re-hang the gate first, then set the bracket and re-dial the limits. Mounting to a sagging frame just wears the arm out faster.
Lightning-season surges and low battery voltage knock the receiver pairing out. Re-pairing the remotes and keypad and checking the battery solves most of these, and we check the board for surge damage while we’re there. Call (833) 408-4022 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
It does. Weir sits along the I-35 corridor between Georgetown and Jarrell, and wind-driven dust and tumbleweed routinely jam gate tracks and pack into the arm housing. That grit wears limit switches and boards, so clearing the track and arm is part of routine service here, not an occasional extra.
Repair usually wins if the unit is serviceable and the gate frame is sound. If the operator is old, water-intruded, or the frame is badly racked, rebuilding the gate and remounting is the better spend. We give you that call honestly after a look.
