How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Ghost Controls builds dependable openers. The failures we see in Huntington Park are rarely the motor itself. They are the metal parts and connections surrounding it. Here is what actually goes wrong:

• Sagging gate leaf bends the hinge-side post ear. Ghost Controls’ AXDP and TSS1 swing-arm systems are solid, but they cannot compensate for a gate that weighs more than its hinges can carry. Over five or six years, a cast-iron hinge ear on a Huntington Park block wall will crack right at the bolt. We cut out the failed ear, weld a reinforced steel plate in its place, and re-hang the gate so the arm is not fighting gravity every morning.
• Broken limit switch due to misaligned rail brackets. The R-series sliding gate openers depend on the rail being dead straight. When a concrete pad shifts in Huntington Park clay soil, the rail tweaks, and the carriage binds. The opener still runs, so the limit switch gets blamed. We see it constantly. A laser alignment check usually proves the rail is the problem before we replace a single electrical part.
• Stripped hinge welds on heavy custom gates. Ghost Controls systems are aftermarket additions to gates that may be 20 or 30 years old. The arm has the torque to move a 400-pound gate, but the factory hinge points on the gate leaf were never designed for motorized daily cycling. Weld fractures at 2 and 7 o’clock on a swing gate are the single most common Ghost Controls parts failure we repair in Huntington Park.
• Aftermarket photo-eye brackets that rust through at the legs. Ghost Controls includes safety beams with the retail kit, but the factory brackets are powder-coated steel. Five winters of moisture out of the Los Angeles basin, and the legs corrode at the mounting points. We replace them with aluminum brackets that will not give out the same way.
• Battery-backup tray corrosion from unsealed post mounts. On AXDP models with the battery tray mounted inside a stone or stucco column, condensation builds. The tray is mild steel. Once the tray rots, the battery shifts and pulls a wire loose. We clean the column interior, replace the tray, seal the mount, and relocate the wire run so it does not happen again.
