Serving Dubai (UAE). If your automatic gate stops halfway and reverses, it’s usually a safety sensor, force setting, or mechanical resistance issue. We diagnose and fix sliding, swing and barrier gate systems. Call/WhatsApp: +971 50 234 2367.

Why Your Gate Stops Halfway and Reverses (Most Common Causes)

  • Photocell / safety sensor blocked or misaligned (most common)
  • Gate is too heavy / resistance increased (rollers, track, rack, hinges)
  • Force settings too sensitive (needs calibration)
  • Limit settings / stopping points wrong (hits hard, then reverses)
  • Wiring issue or loose terminals (intermittent faults)
  • Control board fault (safety input or relay problems)
  • Barrier loop detector issue (for parking barriers)

Safe Quick Checks You Can Do (Before Calling)

  • Clean the photocell lenses and remove any object blocking the sensor
  • Check if the gate path has sand/debris (Dubai dust causes resistance)
  • Try using the gate in daylight and at night (sometimes sensor alignment shows at night)
  • If the gate is making grinding noise, stop using it to avoid motor/board damage
  • Send a short video of the fault + a photo of the motor label on WhatsApp

⚠️ Don’t open the control box or touch wiring if you’re not trained.

We Fix This Problem in Dubai (Sliding, Swing & Barrier)

We diagnose the safety circuit, mechanical resistance, and calibration settings, then fix the real cause — not guesswork.

FAQs

Is it usually the photocell?

Yes — most “stops halfway and reverses” issues in Dubai are caused by photocell alignment, dirt, or wiring on the safety input.

Can I bypass the sensor to test?

Not recommended. Safety sensors protect people and cars. We test safely and fix the root cause.

Why does it happen more in Dubai ? Why does it happen more in Dubai?

Dust/sand increases resistance, and heat can affect electronics and loose terminals over time.

The motor runs but the gate reverses — why?

Mechanical resistance (rollers/track/rack/hinges), force settings, or limit calibration.

Does this happen with barrier gates too?

Yes, especially if loop detector/safety inputs are misreading or wiring is loose.

Can you come same day in Dubai?

Often yes depending on schedule and location. WhatsApp your location and a short video for priority.
