We’re an independent FAAC service provider, not a factory arm, and we price every job in writing before any metal is cut or any part is ordered.

This page is for Spring homeowners with a FAAC gate that needs parts or welding. Not a shopping list of part numbers. Not a brand pitch. A straight answer to what breaks, what we replace, and what the repair costs before you commit.

How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

FAAC builds a solid operator. The weak points on residential FAAC gates in Spring are almost always the steel around the operator, not the motor itself. Here’s what we see week after week:

• Hinge weld fatigue on FAAC 400 and 412 swing gates. These operators push a lot of force through a single hinge post. In Gleannloch Farms and similar neighborhoods with heavy iron driveway gates, the bottom hinge weld cracks first, usually within 5-7 years of installation. We grind out the old weld, gusset the hinge barrel, and re-weld with the gate supported, not hanging. The fix holds because we address the sag, not just the crack.
• Post rotation on FAAC 415 long-leaf installations. The 415 is an articulating-arm operator that mounts to the gate leaf itself. When the gate post wasn’t set deep enough, the whole post twists under load and the arm geometry goes off. We reset or reinforce the post, then re-weld the arm bracket in the correct plane. If the post is rotted at grade, we cut it out and set a new one in concrete with a full cure before re-hanging the gate.
• Rack-and-pinion rail wear on FAAC 770 and C720 slide gates. This is a FAAC-specific failure you won’t read about on the manufacturer site: the nylon pinion gear wears faster than the steel rack, especially when the rail collects Houston humidity-related grit. The symptom is a gate that shudders mid-travel or loses position. We replace the pinion, clean the rack, and weld the rail joints if they’ve separated from thermal expansion.
• Weld separation at the leaf-to-operator bracket on FAAC 412 swing gates. The 412 uses a fairly rigid linkage. When a homeowner or a previous installer welded the bracket at the wrong angle, the repeated stress opens micro-cracks. We cut the old bracket off, position it correctly, and weld it with proper penetration. Then we photograph the finished weld and put the settings in your file.
• Latch and lock misalignment after welding repairs. Any time a gate is re-welded or re-hung, the latch geometry shifts. A FAAC gate that worked fine before a post replacement often won’t latch afterward because the receiver plate is now half an inch out of line. We handle this on every job: adjust or reweld the receiver, shim the latch post, and test the operator’s travel limits before we leave.

Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

Here’s how a FAAC parts and welding job goes at Vance Gate Repair Spring, from your first call to the final photo:

1. 1
   You call (346) 488-1637. A live person answers and asks what the gate is doing. No menu. No callback window. We schedule a time that works and you get a technician name and photo before arrival.
2. 2
   Diagnostic visit. The technician checks the hinge, post, rail, roller, and latch. On a FAAC, we also run the operator through a full travel cycle and note limit-switch position, force settings, and any error codes. That’s the commercial access-control habit Adrian Vance brought over from years of documented site work: we write down what we found.
3. 3
   Parts decision, in writing. We give you the price for OEM FAAC parts, and the price for quality aftermarket parts when they match or exceed OEM spec. For hinges, posts, and custom welding, the steel is sourced locally to spec, not ordered from a catalog. You choose. The price is written down before we order anything.
4. 4
   The repair or weld. Gate supported properly. Old welds ground out. New steel cut, fit, and welded. If it’s a part replacement, we install the exact part we quoted. You get a photo log of each step.
5. 5
   Testing on the operator. Once the metal work is done, we run the FAAC operator through at least ten full open-close cycles. We watch for binding, listen for load changes, and check the photo-eye alignment. If the limit needs re-setting after a hinge re-weld, we set it and photograph the new position.
6. 6
   Cleanup and documentation. You get a written record of the part number, the weld locations, and the final operator settings. every visit includes this under Haven Standard Clause 4. If anything isn’t right within 365 days, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the Done Right Promise.

Why Spring Homeowners Call Vance Gate Repair Spring for FAAC Work

Most gate companies in Spring work on whatever brand they’re most comfortable with. We work on nine, and FAAC is one we see often enough to know its habits. But the reason homeowners call us back is the paperwork. Written price before the job. Photo record when we leave. A 365-day guarantee that says what it means: if the repair isn’t right, we make it right, no argument and no fee. If you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in and we’ll review it at no charge. That second look has saved Spring homeowners thousands on FAAC hinge and post jobs that were over-scoped by someone who wanted to sell a whole new gate.

We also service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, so if your FAAC operator is fine and the problem is elsewhere on the gate, we’ll find it without trying to sell you a brand swap. Adrian Vance built this company on a simple habit: name what you found, name what it costs, name what you left behind. That’s the whole standard.
