Our technicians live and work in the Hartford area and many service the same communities week after week.
This local commitment means we understand Meriden's unique characteristics — the housing developments with specific gate systems, the commercial districts with high-traffic operators, and the environmental factors that affect gate performance in this specific area.

We can't hide behind a corporate office in another state — our name is on every repair we perform, and we stand behind it completely and unconditionally.
Understanding the mechanics behind your FAAC gate system helps you recognize problems early and communicate effectively with repair technicians. Gate operators work by converting electrical energy into mechanical motion — typically through an electric motor driving a gear reduction system that moves a chain, belt, or arm mechanism. When any component in this chain fails, the gate stops working or operates abnormally.
The control board serves as the system's brain, interpreting signals from remotes, keypads, and safety sensors to determine when and how to operate the gate. Modern boards contain microprocessors running firmware that manages open/close timing, force sensitivity, obstacle detection, and safety compliance. A single power surge can corrupt this firmware or fry sensitive components, which is why surge protection is so critical for Meriden gate installations.
Safety systems form the final critical layer. Photo-eye sensors create an invisible beam across the gate opening — if broken during closing, the gate reverses. Edge sensors detect physical contact with objects. Emergency release mechanisms allow manual operation during power failures. ASAP Gate Services tests every one of these systems during faac gate service to ensure your Meriden property is both functional and safe.
