This page is for FAAC owners in Colleyville who need the access control side of their gate working again without guesswork. Victor Salinas grew up not far from Bransford Road and has worked on FAAC openers in this town for more than twenty years. The short version: we diagnose, we quote, you approve, we fix, we stand behind it. In writing.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds a solid opener, but every brand has its patterns. Here’s what we see on Colleyville driveways week after week:

• FAAC 400 and 402 operator keypad lockouts: These are the most common FAAC openers on Colleyville estate gates. The control board’s onboard receiver loses synchronization with the keypad after a power bump, and the system locks the homeowner out entirely. The fix is a board-level reprogram, not a new keypad. A lot of techs sell a $300 keypad when the keypad was never the problem.
• FAAC E024 “Stop” circuit faults on phone entry systems: When a telephone entry unit is wired into an FAAC board, a worn safety edge or a nicked low-voltage wire triggers a phantom stop command. The gate opens a foot and halts. We trace the circuit with a meter, find the actual break, and repair the wire run instead of swapping the board.
• FAAC swinging gate hinge drift throwing off access sensors: Colleyville’s shrink-swell clay soil moves gate posts over time. When hinges shift even half an inch, the FAAC limit switches fall out of calibration and the gate won’t close fully, which means the auto-close relay never engages. We re-hang the gate leaf, shim the hinge, and recalibrate the limits. The access control was never the issue; the geometry was.
• Dead remote fobs on FAAC 412 and 422 systems: With age, the receiver antenna inside these units corrodes at the solder joint, especially with our Texas heat cycling. The remote tests fine at the bench but only works from eight feet away. We repair or replace the antenna connection and test range from the street, not the driveway.
• Aftermarket photocell incompatibility causing false “obstruction” alerts: FAAC boards expect a specific resistance range from the photo eyes. Generic aftermarket photo cells trip the FAAC board into thinking something is always in the gate’s path, so the gate refuses to move even when the keypad accepts the code. We install the correct-spec photocells and wire them where the board expects them.

Our FAAC Gate Access Control Process

Here’s how a typical FAAC job goes at Ironworks Gate Co., from the first call to the final test:

1. 1
   You call (817) 242-5426. A live person answers. You describe the symptom in your own words. We schedule a time, and we show up when we said we would.
2. 2
   We test every component in the access chain. Keypad, receiver, transmitters, phone entry unit, card reader, video intercom, and the wiring between them. We don’t replace parts on a hunch.
3. 3
   We give you a written price before we turn a single bolt. You know exactly what it costs and what you’re getting. No open-ended estimates, no surprises on the invoice.
4. 4
   We make the repair with the right part. When the FAAC OEM part is the correct call for longevity, we use it. When a quality aftermarket part does the job just as well for less, we tell you that in plain English and let you decide.
5. 5
   We test the gate through fifty full open-close cycles. Not one or two. Fifty. If the auto-close, safety edges, and every access device don’t work right by the end, we’re not done.
6. 6
   You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing, every time.

Why Colleyville Homeowners Call Ironworks Gate Co. for FAAC Work

We’ve been in this trade since 1984, and we’ve watched plenty of gate companies come and go. That matters when you own a FAAC system that was installed fifteen years ago by a company that no longer exists. We service nine gate-automation brands, including LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, so when a Colleyville homeowner has a mixed system or a gate that was converted from one brand to another, we don’t blink. Most FAAC jobs are done in one visit. Every one of them is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, with no exceptions. Our techs are background-checked, uniformed, and work in your driveway the way they’d work in their own mother’s. Victor Salinas put it best: a gate that works right doesn’t announce itself. That’s the whole idea.
