How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• AXDP and AXD series: limit switch drift. The mechanical limit switches on the AXD and AXDP swing-arm operators are the most common failure we see in Conroe. Heat cycles cause the cams to walk slightly, and the gate starts stopping an inch or two short, then six inches, then a foot. It’s not the motor; it’s the switch position. We reset the limits, torque the cam screws, and photograph the new positions so you have a record if it drifts again.
• TSS1 and RTS1 slide operators: torque limiter wear. On Ghost Controls slide gate motors, the adjustable torque limiter wears smooth after a few years, especially on gates that run through wet grass or gravel. The symptom is a gate that opens fine in the morning and trips halfway by afternoon. We replace the torque limiter assembly and set it to spec, not “tight enough” - because too tight is how you lose a gearbox.
• AXP series: control board relay fatigue. The AXP board uses relays for the open/close circuit, and we see those relays stick after repeated storm-season cycling. The gate clicks but doesn’t move, or it moves one direction and not the other. A replacement board is the honest fix, but sometimes an aftermarket relay swap buys a year or two at a fifth of the price. We’ll show you both options and let you decide.
• Photo-eye misalignment on all models. The infrared beam that stops the gate if a kid or dog crosses the path is sensitive to Conroe’s shifting clay soil. The post moves a half inch, the beam breaks, and the gate reverses every time. We re-level the eyes and stake the post base if it’s walking. This is a fifteen-minute fix that gets misdiagnosed as a motor failure far too often.
• Battery backup terminals corroding. On Ghost Controls units with battery backup, the terminal lugs corrode from humidity, and the gate runs fine on utility power but dies the moment a thunderstorm knocks power out. We clean the lugs, replace the corroded terminals, and test the battery under load. That way the backup actually backs up when you need it.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Motor & Opener Process

1. 1
   You call, we listen. A live person answers (936) 297-5126 and asks what the gate is doing. Clattering? Dead? Reversing? That tells us which parts to bring.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. We test the motor, the board, the limit switches, and the photo-eyes. We do not guess, and we do not quote a motor replacement until we’ve ruled out the cheaper fixes.
3. 3
   We hand you a written price. The scope, the part numbers, and the flat price are on paper before we touch a screwdriver. That satisfies Haven Standard Clause 1: have it in writing.
4. 4
   We repair with the right parts. Where Ghost Controls OEM parts make sense, we use them. Where a quality aftermarket part is functionally identical and half the price, we tell you and let you choose.
5. 5
   We test and document. The gate runs through twenty full cycles, we photograph the final positions and the installed parts, and we hand you a photo log before we leave.
6. 6
   We back it for a year. Every Ghost Controls repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right, no fee, no argument.
