How Linear Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Linear LS850 slide-gate operators: The magnetic limit switch assembly on this series drifts in Sandy Springs’ summer heat, especially on gates near Abernathy Road where clay soil shifts the track slightly. The motor runs but the gate stops short or over-travels. We reset the limit cam to measured position, photograph the final degree setting, and replace the switch if the magnet shows hairline cracking.
• Linear LA500 swing-gate arms: The DC actuator’s internal potentiometer collects moisture during Georgia’s March-April humidity spikes, causing erratic open/close speeds or mid-travel reversal. We test resistance across the potentiometer leads, replace with OEM or a sealed aftermarket equivalent, and reprogram the control board with the new resistance curve.
• Linear PRO Access control boards: Surge damage from afternoon thunderstorms is the leading cause of failure in Sandy Springs. The board may power on but fail to send consistent voltage to the motor relay. We test each relay output with a load simulator, replace the board only if two or more relays test outside spec, and install a separate surge protector on the low-voltage side.
• Linear battery backup systems (BBU): The sealed lead-acid batteries in Linear’s BBU housings sulfate faster in unshaded gate enclosures where internal temperatures exceed 110°F. The gate works fine until the first power outage, then nothing. We load-test the battery under 5-amp draw, replace if voltage drops below 10.5V in 30 seconds, and note the install date on the photo record for future reference.
• Linear HSLG heavy-slide operators: The bronze drive gear meshes with a steel rack, and without proper grease interval, the gear teeth wear asymmetrically on the uphill side of sloped driveways common in Sandy Springs’ northern ridges. We measure backlash with a dial indicator, replace the gear if clearance exceeds 3mm, and switch to a lithium-complex grease rated for the actual duty cycle.

Our Linear Gate Motor & Opener Process

1. 1
   Call intake: A live person answers, asks for the model number from the operator nameplate, and notes symptoms. We dispatch with probable parts pre-loaded.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic: Technician tests motor amp draw, limit switch function, and control board output. Everything gets photographed before disassembly.
3. 3
   Written scope and price: We hand you a flat price for the exact repair, with OEM and quality aftermarket options where both exist. No work starts until you approve in writing.
4. 4
   Repair and calibration: We replace or adjust, then cycle the gate 20 times under load, checking thermal cutoff behavior and auto-reverse force.
5. 5
   Documentation and guarantee: You receive a photo log of every adjustment, part numbers installed, and final limit-switch readings. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers all work.
6. 6
   Cleanup: We leave the pad level and the gate doing what it should. Name what you found. Name what it costs. Name what you left behind.
