Selma Gate Repair
If you need Selma gate repair, automatic gate repair in Selma, gate replacement in Selma, or driveway gate installation in Selma, Garage Tec Automatic Gates & Garage Door Repair handles all of it with same-day appointments, seven days a week, and written pricing before work begins.
We help Selma homeowners, apartment and community property managers, and commercial property owners keep gates working the way they should, because when an entry gate won't open, won't close, or stops responding, security, access, and daily traffic become a problem fast.
Selma is small but busy, wedged along I-35 and Loop 1604 where Bexar, Guadalupe and Comal counties meet, with Retama Park and The Forum shopping center anchoring the commercial side. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, Retama Springs and the sections off Evans Road and Old Austin Road, have HOA entrances that cycle from dawn to midnight.
Apartment gates run along I-35 and Evans Road, and the commercial and storage yards between the interstate and Loop 1604 use slide gates that see truck traffic all day. Blackland clay heaves posts, hail and lightning take out control boards, and delivery vans clip gate leaves. That is why this page focuses on the gate services Selma properties actually need: automatic gate repair, opener and sensor repair, gate replacement, driveway gate installation, access control systems, preventive maintenance, and emergency gate service. Selma calls are dispatched from our San Antonio office.
Gate Repair in Selma, TX
Our automatic gate repair in Selma and electric gate repair is mostly community and apartment entrances along I-35 and Evans Road plus side-drive gates in Retama Springs, and our trucks carry the loops, photo eyes, boards and rollers those gates go through. We repair the complete gate system, not just the motor, and that includes checking gate openers and the power supply when diagnosing faults, with most repairs finished in a single visit.
Gate opener repair
Every common brand serviced in Selma, LiftMaster, Viking, All-O-Matic and DoorKing among them. Motors, gearboxes, clutches, control boards, limits and wiring, including electric gate motor issues. Typical opener repairs run about $220 to $580, while full opener replacement is usually $450 to $1,400.
Gates stuck open or closed
Handled first: a stuck-open gate leaves the property exposed, and a stuck-closed one blocks the entrance.
Gate opens but won't close
The operator is usually being told something is in the way, by a photo-eye, an edge sensor or a vehicle loop that needs service.
Sliding gate repair
Worn rollers, fouled track, broken chains, gates that grind or derail on sliding gates, with adjustments that restore smooth operation and make sure the gate operates smoothly again.
Swing gate repair
Sagging leaves, seized hinges and posts heaved by the Blackland clay that runs across this corner of Bexar and Guadalupe counties, reset so the gate hangs plumb and latches without a fight.
Apartment and community gate repair
Selma has more community and apartment entrances than most cities its size, and property managers along I-35, Evans Road and Old Austin Road get priority response so an entrance does not stay open or stuck through the night.
Access control, loop and sensor repair
Telephone entry, video intercom and credential readers repaired, plus exit loops and safety eyes. Keypad repair usually ranges from $140 to $320.
Storm and surge damage
Surge-damaged boards, fried receivers and dead power supplies replaced, with surge protection on request. Control board failures are more common in Selma summer heat above 105°F, and replacement usually runs $280 to $650.
Welding and structural repair
Damaged ironwork repaired in place, from a single picket to a gate hit by a truck.
Gate Replacement in Selma
Once a gate needs a repair every few months, replacing it usually costs less over the next few years. In Selma that usually means rust through the frame, posts moved by shifting clay soil, an obsolete operator, or a gate never built for the traffic it now carries. In Selma, rust at hinge posts can show up within a few seasons.
Around here, gate replacement in Selma often starts with the entrances built alongside the 1990s subdivisions, where the frame has rusted at the bottom rail and the operator is a discontinued model. We replace the gate, operator and access keypad as a matched set with a new gate when that makes more sense, especially when repair needs keep recurring. We replace what's earned it and keep what hasn't: sound posts, healthy operators and working loops stay, and you get both numbers, repair and replacement, in writing before anything is decided, with custom replacement gates that can reflect personal style and property needs while staying secure.
Driveway Gate Installation in Selma
Most driveway gate installation in Selma tends toward decorative aluminum or iron swing gates on the larger lots in Retama Springs and the newer sections near Loop 1604, and practical slide gates across side yards and RV pads on the older homes closer to Old Austin Road. For homeowners comparing driveway gates, width and style both affect material needs and pricing, and residential projects in the Selma area commonly range from $1,400 to $7,800. For the storage lots and small business yards along the I-35 frontage we install heavy slide gates with reinforced tracks and battery backup. Typical automatic driveway gate projects average $2,500 to $5,000, while basic manual gates can start around $680 to $1,555 and automated options usually cost more.
Estate and driveway swing gates
Single and double leaf, steel or aluminum, matched to the home and the existing fence with gate installation services that improve access and curb appeal. Chain-link and basic wood gates are usually the most affordable choices, while wrought-iron or custom gates often run $4,000 to $10,000 or more. We can also handle metal driveway gate installation when you want a stronger build that perfectly complements the house and entry.
Sliding and cantilever gates
Slide and cantilever designs suit short drives and sloped lots in Selma. Sliding driveway gate costs matter during planning because track type, operator size and site conditions can change the budget.
Custom ornamental iron
Fabricated to your drawing or ours, with matching fence and pedestrian gates.
Community and apartment entrances
Entry systems for gated communities: high-cycle operators, intercoms and credential management.
Commercial slide, cantilever and barrier-arm systems
Built for commercial sites with steady truck traffic and a hard close at the end of the day.
Every installation includes an honestly sized operator, battery backup or solar where needed, UL 325 safety devices installed and tested, and a walkthrough of the access controls before we leave; adding automation features typically adds about $1,500 to $4,000. Already have a manual gate in good shape? We can automate it into a reliable automatic gate system that can tie into modern security controls for enhanced security. Electrical trenching, concrete footings, grading, site preparation and local permits can also increase project cost, with permits commonly adding $50 to $300.
Selma Gate Company
A Selma gate company should be around long after the subdivision sells out. We provide ongoing gate services for communities and homes alike, keeping community gates on maintenance schedules, programming keypads and phone-app access when residents change, and servicing the garage doors behind those gates, all on one number. For residential properties, automated gates can also improve property value and curb appeal.
Automation and access control
Efficient operators sized for the gate's weight, length and cycle count; keypads, telephone entry, video intercom, card and fob readers, and phone-app access. A complete automatic or electric gate system can strengthen a property's security with intercoms, cameras, and app-based access.
Preventive maintenance
A maintenance schedule for Selma gates covering alignment, lubrication and safety testing. We also lubricate motors and moving parts and clear debris so gate operators keep working reliably and problems stay fixed longer. That helps us service systems to the highest standards, with scheduling built around quality and customer satisfaction, especially for HOAs and commercial properties.
Priority response for property managers
When a community gate fails, every resident is affected, so managed properties are dispatched first.
Solar and off-grid
Solar-powered operators for ranch gates and remote entrances without a nearby power source.
Serving Selma and Surrounding Communities
We serve all of Selma, from Retama Springs and the neighborhoods off Evans Road and Old Austin Road to the retail and commercial frontage along I-35 and Loop 1604, plus the surrounding area: Schertz, Universal City, Live Oak, Cibolo, Garden Ridge, Converse, Bracken and the northeast side of San Antonio. Selma calls are dispatched from our San Antonio office and grouped with our other I-35 corridor work, so a stocked truck is usually already within a few exits if you need to contact us.

Selma Gate FAQs
Do you offer same-day gate repair in Selma?
Yes, in most cases. Trucks are stocked with operator parts, photo-eyes, rollers and hinges. Gates stuck open or shut are dispatched first. Calling before noon gives you the best shot at same-day service.
My gate opens but won't close. What's wrong?
Almost always a safety device: a blocked or misaligned photo-eye, a faulty edge, or a vehicle loop stuck in detect. The gate is protecting itself, and servicing the sensor solves it.
Why is my gate or fence post leaning?
Texas clay swells and shrinks with the weather and takes posts with it. We re-set and reinforce posts so gates hang true again instead of shimming the hinge every year.
Our Selma HOA gate keeps getting hit by delivery drivers. What can we do besides repair it every time?
Start with the approach. We add bollards or guard posts at the hinge and latch sides, set the operator to open fully before a driver is tempted to squeeze through, and make sure the loops and photo eyes are placed so the gate does not close on a van that stopped short. A slide gate is also harder to hit than a swing leaf, and we can price that option in writing.
The keypad at our Retama Springs entrance stopped taking codes after a storm. Is it the keypad or the operator?
It can be either, or the wire between them. Lightning often takes out the keypad's board or the operator's input while the motor still runs fine. We test at the keypad, at the operator and along the run, replace only what actually failed, and add surge protection so the next storm does not repeat the call.
My gate opener died after a thunderstorm. Fixable?
Very likely. Storm damage tends to hit the board first, which is a routine replacement on most operators. Ask about surge protection while we are there.
How much does gate repair cost in Selma?
Electric gate repairs in Selma usually range from $180 to $650. Final pricing depends on the failure. Simple fixes like limits, remotes, sensors and hinges cost the least; boards, motors and welding cost more. You get an exact written quote before any work starts, and the estimate is free.
Do you work on all gate opener brands?
Yes. LiftMaster, DoorKing, Viking, Eagle, All-O-Matic, Nice/Apollo, HySecurity, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, US Automatic and more, residential and commercial.
Can you automate my existing manual gate?
Usually, yes, if the gate and posts are structurally sound. Your existing gate gets an operator, safety sensors and entry controls.
