Automatic gates are a convenience you only notice when they stop working — and then they become a real problem. SteelMotion repairs automatic gates across Dublin for private homes, managed developments and commercial premises, restoring reliable operation to motors, controllers and access systems. Because gate automation combines mechanics, electronics and safety devices, we take a systematic approach to find the genuine cause of a fault and fix it properly.
Emergency? We answer 24/7. Call 089 429 5181 and an engineer will be on the way.
Call 089 429 5181When automation stops working
An automatic gate that has gone dead, that opens but won't close, or that only travels part-way usually has a clear underlying cause: a failed motor or ram, a tripped or faulty control board, a depleted battery in a solar or backup system, or a safety sensor that has been knocked out of alignment. We test each part of the system to pinpoint the issue rather than replacing components on guesswork.
We also resolve the frustrating intermittent faults — gates that work sometimes and not others — which are often down to overheating motors, water ingress or failing electronics.
A complete system, properly serviced
A gate is only as reliable as its weakest component. When we attend, we look at the whole installation — mechanics, electronics, safety and access control — so you are not calling us back for a different part of the same system a week later.
Every job starts with a quick phone or WhatsApp conversation so we can dispatch the right engineer with the right parts. We never use online forms — talk to a real person who knows shutters.

Automatic Gate Repair FAQs
My automatic gate only opens halfway — can you fix it?
Yes. Partial travel is usually down to an obstruction, a safety sensor fault or a tired motor. We'll diagnose the cause on-site and put it right.
Do you repair gates from all manufacturers?
We work with the common gate automation brands used in Ireland and can source compatible parts for most systems, or advise on an upgrade where parts are obsolete.
Can you fix a gate that works intermittently?
Yes. Intermittent faults are often caused by overheating, water ingress or failing electronics. We trace the root cause rather than applying a temporary fix.
How quickly can you attend?
We prioritise gates that leave a property unsecured and offer fast call-outs across Dublin. Call or WhatsApp 089 429 5181 for an arrival time.
