About breakdown repairs

Still opens by hand, but not right.

Breakdown repairs cover a gate whose electric operation is intermittent or has failed, but that can still be operated manually. That’s different to a gate stuck closed or part-way that can’t be put into manual mode and is blocking entry or exit, which is an emergency repair. Either way, we come out, troubleshoot the fault on site, and fix what we can there and then.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

01 You call it in Tell us what the gate's doing, the gate type, and the brand if you know it.
02 Call-out fee, up front Guil states the call-out fee clearly on the phone before anything is booked.
03 Troubleshoot and repair We diagnose the fault on site, and fix minor repairs there and then.
04 Quote if parts are needed If the part isn't on the van, we raise a quote and book a return visit.
What to expect

Call it in, and we'll take it from there.

  • Call-out fee: stated clearly on the phone before anything is booked
  • Attendance: Guil gives you an approximate time when you call, based on the day’s jobs
  • Areas: Perth metro, mostly the western suburbs
On site Fault diagnosis We troubleshoot the fault at the property, not over the phone.
Same visit Minor repairs Fixed on the spot where the fault allows it and the part is on board.

My automated sliding gate would not fully open today and I was unable to drive my car out. A friend recommended Gill and he was able to change his work schedule and come. He identified the problem immediately, replaced the part and then tested all the other areas of the motor to be sure they were fully functional. He even blew away all the cobwebs and dirt around the unit before replacing the housing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gill. He was friendly, worked efficiently, and clearly is an expert in his field.

Absolutely outstanding service. Guil is friendly, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to resolve any issue. He takes the time to properly diagnose problems and always delivers effective solutions. He has been servicing our gates for the past three years and is the only person we trust with them. His response time is prompt, and he’s even able to assist over the phone when needed, which has been incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Guil to anyone with a motorised gate system, whether it’s for installation, servicing, or troubleshooting.

O’pn Close Systems installed a new motor for our sliding gate on 14/07/2025, Guil did the installation. I have been a registered builder for 40 yrs and believe I’m suitably qualified to present my opinion for this installation. Guil is a real professional and tradesman, and comes well presented with his set-up something hard to find these days. He did an excellent job and is a pleasure to deal with I have no hesitation in recommending Op’n Close Systems if you are looking for a professional company. Thank you and I will be contacting you again should I require your services.

5 Stars all round – I can’t add to anything that previous reviews have already said so I’ll just endorse that Guillaume was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, had all the tools, cleaned up after himself and was able to attend to our sticking swing gate when our regular guy couldn’t… We will definitely use and recommend Op’nClose for any gate related issues as our gate is now smoother and quieter than it has ever seen.

I am so happy with the work completed to my existing gate which I required to be automated. So many larger organisations said it couldn’t be done, and wanted to sell me a whole new gate with a different set up. The area was a tight fit, but Guil managed to instal a perfect solution and worked quickly to complete the job to a high a standard. I would 100% recommend O’PN Close Solutions to anyone. Thankyou for everything!

Op’n close system we’re great to deal with, they attended our breakdown super quick, fixed the problem and left the site nice and tidy… to avoid having bad surprises we even started on their regular maintenance program. Would strongly recommend.

Guil’s approach to customer service is refreshing and genuine. He was able to diagnose the issue with my existing gate motor and promptly organised and installed a suitable replacement. I’m very happy with the services provided by Guil and would use his services again without hesitation.

Good to know

Common questions about our services.

  • A gate whose electric operation is intermittent or has failed, but that can still be opened by hand. A gate stuck closed or part-way that can’t be put into manual mode and is blocking entry or exit is an emergency repair instead.

  • The two faults we see most often are power outage issues and problems with a gate’s safety devices. We diagnose the actual cause on site.

  • Yes, a call-out fee applies. Guil states it clearly on the phone before anything is booked.
