The problem
A customer in Richardson was having a gearbox issue with a Ramset sliding gate opener on a wooden driveway gate.
How we diagnosed it
- The gearbox fault could be repaired rather than requiring a replacement gearbox or a complete operator.
- One limit switch had failed.
What we did
- Repaired the existing gearbox.
- Replaced one limit switch — the only component replaced on this job.
The outcome
The existing Ramset operator and its gearbox were both retained, with the work focused on the actual fault.
What you should take from this
A gearbox fault sounds terminal and frequently is not. The operator, the gearbox and the limit switches are separate things, and finding out which one has failed is worth more than a quote for all three.
