Ghost Controls builds low-voltage swing openers, solar and battery-backup kits, and the accessories that go with them, and that’s the equipment our technicians diagnose and repair here.

Why Loomis Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
We work on your brand, and Ghost Controls is one we see often enough that the quirks aren’t a surprise. As an independent provider working on Ghost Controls operators regularly, we know the AXS and Tornado series openers and their accessories: solar and battery behavior, arm geometry, and the control-board habits that make a gate fault out in ways that look like something else. We aren’t tied to the manufacturer’s script, so we diagnose what the gate and the site actually need rather than defaulting to a brand-mandated part or pushing a full-system replacement.
That independent stance matters more in Loomis than in a subdivision with tidy, level driveways. We aren’t a general fencing contractor or a garage-door company that takes gate calls on the side. Gate repair, electric gate repair and gate installation are all we do, so the tool set and the parts we keep on hand are built around gates. We source genuine Ghost Controls boards, arms and receivers where reliability and warranty continuity matter, and quality aftermarket batteries, solar panels and hardware where they meet or beat OEM on rural-duty wear. Scheduling is direct: you tell us what the gate is doing, and we tell you when a technician is coming and what the visit covers.
Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Loomis
- A solar or battery-backup system that sags in summer. With 100°F+ summers in the valley, batteries sulfate and voltage drops, so the arm stalls mid-travel or the gate reverses partway. The fix is usually a battery replacement and a load check on the solar kit, not a new opener.
- A swing arm binding after winter rain shifts a post. Heavy rain swells the ground on long rural driveways, and a post that moves a fraction of an inch puts the arm out of geometry. The opener feels it as resistance and trips the control board’s obstruction sensing.
- Control-board and surge damage on long wire runs. Low-voltage Ghost Controls boards are sensitive to voltage spikes and poor splices, and overhead or long underground runs on a rural property give lightning and brownouts a path to the board.
- Keypad, remote and intercom pairing failures. Power interruptions wipe paired devices, and re-pairing a Ghost Controls keypad or an intercom isn’t always self-explanatory. We sort the pairing and check the receiver while we’re at it.
- Worn limit and obstruction switches. A gate that sees livestock-side traffic and truck bumpers wears those switches faster, and a worn switch makes a healthy opener act broken.
Ghost Controls Service in Loomis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Loomis is a rural-residential town split down the middle, and that split shapes Ghost Controls work here in a way it doesn’t in most places. On multi-acre parcels with horse pastures and orchard remnants, the gates are wide and heavy-duty, often rusted manual steel pipe gates that have taken a hit from livestock or a truck. Drive a few minutes into one of the new estate subdivisions on large custom lots and you’ll find modern automatic driveway gates doing the same job at a fraction of the weight. The result is that a Ghost Controls call in Loomis often starts as a manual-gate repair or a manual-to-automatic conversion and ends as a solar and battery-backup install on a long driveway where running grid power out to the gate is impractical.
A typical Loomis Ghost Controls call involves a swing opener on a long rural driveway where the gate has sagged after winter rain shifted a post, so the arm binds and the operator reverses or faults out on obstruction. The usual fix is realigning the gate and posts, re-clocking or replacing the swing arm, then testing travel limits and re-pairing the remotes and keypad. On solar or battery-backup setups, we often replace the aging battery in the same visit so summer heat doesn’t stall the arm a month later. That sequence plays out the same way whether the property sits near the old ranch land or in a newer estate build.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Loomis
We service the Ghost Controls automatic gate product range as it shows up on Loomis driveways. That includes the AXS series: AXS1 single swing openers, AXS2 and AXS2S dual swing openers. It also includes the Tornado (TDS-series) heavy-duty swing opener, which is the one that turns up on the wider ranch and livestock gates where a lighter arm wouldn’t hold up. On the accessory side we work on keypads, remotes, intercom and vehicle sensors, and the solar and battery-backup kits that keep a rural Ghost Controls installation running without a power run.
Choosing parts is where an independent shop earns its keep. Genuine Ghost Controls boards, arms and receivers make sense when reliability and warranty continuity are the priority. Quality aftermarket batteries, solar panels and hardware can meet or beat OEM on the wear a rural installation produces. We make that call per job, not by policy. Our stance is repair-first on mechanical arms and control boards, and we replace a whole opener only when the housing or motor is beyond economical repair.

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Loomis
The estimate is free, the price is set per job by a written estimate, and nothing starts until you’ve agreed to it. What drives the number is what the gate is actually doing: a battery-backup replacement is a small job, while a swing arm that needs re-clocking and a gate that needs realigning after a post shift is more work. Board and receiver repairs sit in their own range depending on whether the fault is a splice, a surge or a failed component. A manual-to-automatic conversion on a long driveway takes real measuring and planning, and the price reflects that.
The on-site estimate includes testing the opener under load, checking travel limits and obstruction sensing, and looking at the gate and posts for alignment problems the opener is compensating for. If a solar kit is undersized for what the gate is drawing, we tell you that too, because replacing a battery twice is a worse deal than fixing the cause. Call (855) 431-0356 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Loomis
On a solar or battery-backup Ghost Controls system in Loomis, the battery is the usual cause and the board is the less common one. Hot valley summers sulfate batteries and drop their voltage, so the arm loses torque and the opener reads resistance as an obstruction and reverses. We test the battery under load first, then the board and wiring, so you don’t pay for a board you don’t need. Call (855) 431-0356 for a free estimate.
Yes, in most cases, and it’s one of the commonest calls we get in Loomis. A heavy steel pipe gate can carry a Ghost Controls swing opener if the posts are sound, the hinge geometry is right, and the gate swings freely without binding. On a wide livestock gate the Tornado (TDS-series) heavy-duty swing opener is usually the better match than an AXS arm. We check the gate and posts before we quote the conversion so the estimate reflects what the site actually needs.
Because a power interruption can wipe the paired devices from the receiver’s memory, so the opener still works but your keypad and remotes no longer speak to it. Re-pairing usually restores them, and if it doesn’t, the receiver or a weak battery in the remote is the next thing we check. Call (855) 431-0356 and we’ll book a visit. We answer 24/7.
Yes. Winter rain swells the ground and shifts fence posts, especially on long rural driveways, and a post that moves even slightly puts the swing arm out of geometry. The arm then binds and the control board trips on obstruction sensing. Realigning the gate and posts and re-clocking the arm is the fix; replacing the opener almost never is. Call (855) 431-0356 for an estimate.
We work on nine major gate operator brands, and Ghost Controls is one of them. The others are LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule. We’re independent, so we have no reason to steer you toward one brand over another. The right fix for your existing system is the goal. Call (855) 431-0356 for a free estimate.
