The problem

A Dallas customer contacted us about a problem with a LiftMaster sliding gate.

How we diagnosed it

  1. Inspection found that the gate chain needed to be replaced.

What we did

  1. Removed the worn chain.
  2. Installed a replacement chain on the LiftMaster sliding gate operator.
  3. Checked the operator after installation.

The outcome

The sliding gate returned to normal operation on its existing operator.

What you should take from this

A chain is a wear item on a sliding gate, in the way tyres are on a car. Replacing one is routine; running one to destruction takes the sprockets and sometimes the operator with it.

From the job

  • LiftMaster sliding gate operator with the enclosure open during the chain replacement.
  • Sliding gate and chain along the wooden gate during the repair.
  • LiftMaster operator and replacement chain installed on the sliding gate.
