This page is for Corona homeowners who own a FAAC automatic gate and have noticed the mechanical side of it starting to fail. Not the circuit board. Not the remote. The steel, the welds, the hinges, the rollers. That is our trade, and we have been working it on FAAC gates in Corona since the early 2000s. Victor Salinas grew up in the Coronita neighborhood, and he still swings by gates on the same streets where he learned to ride a bike.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC makes strong operators, but the metalwork around them ages like any other steel that opens and closes a thousand times a year. Here are the failures we see most often on FAAC installations in Corona.

• Worn hinge pins on the FAAC 400 and 412 operator gates. These are common on the heavier leaf. The gate starts to drop a quarter inch at the latch end, which loads the operator and shortens its life. We pull the leaf, replace the hinges with sealed-bearing units, and re-weld any plate that has wallowed out.
• Cracked welds at the top rail on FAAC 422 and swing gates. Corona sun and wind cause the steel to flex, and the weld at the top rail and vertical stile is usually the first to go. We grind out the old weld, lay a full-penetration bead, and often add a gusset so it does not crack again in the same spot.
• Gate roller failure on FAAC cantilever slide gates. The rollers seize, the gate drags, and the motor burns out trying to push it. In Corona’s dry heat, cheap rollers lose their grease and lock up fast. We replace them with sealed industrial rollers sized to the gate’s weight, and we check the track for wear at the same time.
• Post lean on FAAC swing gates with a long open history. A gate that has been slamming or getting pushed by wind for fifteen years can pull its post out of plumb. We excavate, reset or replace the post, and weld a heavier base plate before re-hanging the leaf so the gate closes square.
• Latch and lock misalignment after ground movement. Some parts of Corona, especially near the older developments off Main Street, have expansive soils that shift seasonally. The gate drifts, the electric lock misses the strike, and the FAAC operator faults out. We realign or weld in an adjustable strike, depending on how far it has moved.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

When a FAAC owner in Corona calls us about a welding or parts issue, here is what happens.

1. 1
   The call. A live person picks up, asks about the gate, and schedules a visit. No voicemail tree.
2. 2
   The inspection. Our technician checks the leaf, hinges, welds, posts, rollers, latch, and the operator’s strain to find what failed and why.
3. 3
   The parts decision. We use FAAC OEM parts when they are available and make sense. Where a quality aftermarket part is the better value, we tell you plainly and explain the difference before any work begins.
4. 4
   The repair. We weld, replace, align, and adjust. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, and they work in your driveway the way they would at their own mother’s house.
5. 5
   The test. The gate runs a full cycle twenty times with the FAAC operator under watch. If it groans, drags, or hesitates, we fix it before we leave.
6. 6
   The promise. Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Written. No paperwork. No arguing. If it is not right, we come back.

What FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Corona

Every FAAC gate has its own story, but these are the price ranges our Corona customers typically see.

• Hinge replacement, single leaf: $285 to $480
• Post reset or replacement, swing gate: $520 to $980
• Weld repair, crack at rail or stile: $180 to $390

• Latch and lock realignment with new strike weld: $195 to $360

What moves the price: the weight of the leaf, whether the post has to come out, access to the work area, steel thickness, and whether the FAAC operator needs re-tensioning after the metalwork. The price is quoted and agreed before the first bolt turns. No surprises on the bill. Call (424) 300-4078 for a free estimate.
