Gate Services in Spokane, WA
Bemiss Gate Services provides professional gate installation, repair, opener replacement, maintenance, and emergency service for residential and commercial properties across the Spokane metropolitan area.
What We Do
Most of our calls fall into three categories: something broke and needs to be fixed, an opener has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced, or a homeowner or business owner is ready to install a gate that doesn't exist yet. We handle all three — and we also do routine maintenance for property owners who want to stay ahead of problems.
We work on residential driveway gates — the kind that open and close for a single family home — and commercial entry systems for businesses, warehouses, apartment complexes, and industrial facilities. Gate systems at commercial properties tend to see higher cycle counts, require more robust operators, and often include access control components. We're equipped for both.
Before any work begins, we walk through what's needed, what it costs, and what to expect. There are no surprises on the invoice.
Automatic Gate Installation
We install automatic gate systems for residential driveways and commercial property entrances throughout Spokane and the surrounding area. The installation process starts with an on-site assessment where we look at the property layout, grade, surface type, and access needs. From there, we recommend the right gate style — slide, swing, or bi-fold — along with the appropriate operator and any access control components.
What's Included
- On-site assessment and site preparation
- Gate frame and panel fabrication or delivery
- Operator and motor installation
- Limit switch, safety sensors, and wiring
- Loop detectors or keypad/card reader setup
- Final testing and customer walkthrough
Gate Repair
When a gate stops working — won't open, won't close, makes grinding noises, or moves unevenly — we diagnose the problem and fix it. Gate issues are usually mechanical (bent components, damaged hardware, worn rollers or hinges) or electrical (failed operator, broken wiring, bad sensors). We work on swing gates, sliding gates, and barrier arm systems at residential and commercial properties.
What's Included
- Diagnosis of mechanical and electrical faults
- Track cleaning and roller/wheel replacement
- Hinge repair and post realignment
- Gate panel straightening or replacement
- Wiring repairs and connection fixes
- Safety reversal and sensor recalibration
Gate Opener Replacement
Gate openers — also called operators or motors — have a limited lifespan. When they fail, the gate either won't move or becomes unreliable. We replace operators on all major brands including LiftMaster, Viking, Elite, and Linear. We stock and source commercial-grade and residential units depending on the gate size, weight, and cycle frequency required.
What's Included
- Assessment of current gate weight, size, and usage
- Operator selection and sourcing
- Removal of existing failed unit
- New operator mounting and electrical connection
- Programming of remotes, keypads, or loop detectors
- Cycle testing and safety sensor verification
Access Control Systems
Access control ties your gate into a system that lets you manage who enters and when. This can be as simple as a keypad entry code or as comprehensive as a card reader, intercom, or vehicle loop detector setup. We install and configure access control components as part of new gate installations or as upgrades to existing systems.
What's Included
- Keypad entry system installation and programming
- Card reader and fob access setup
- Telephone entry/intercom integration
- Inductive loop detector installation
- Wireless remote programming and cloning
- Access log and user management setup
Gate Maintenance
Routine maintenance extends the life of your gate system and helps catch problems before they become expensive failures. Our maintenance visits cover the mechanical and electrical components: lubrication, hardware checks, sensor testing, cycle counts, and operator diagnostics. We recommend maintenance once or twice a year depending on gate usage.
What's Included
- Full visual and operational inspection
- Lubrication of rollers, hinges, and drive components
- Track and chain/belt inspection and adjustment
- Safety sensor and reverse mechanism testing
- Limit switch calibration
- Operator diagnostics and error log review
Emergency Gate Service
Gate problems don't always happen at convenient times. If your gate is stuck open or locked shut — leaving your property unsecured or blocking access — we offer emergency service calls throughout the Spokane area. We'll assess the situation over the phone to determine whether a same-day or next-available visit is appropriate, and we'll give you a straight answer on what it will take to get it working.
What's Included
- Phone assessment to triage the issue
- Rapid dispatch to Spokane and surrounding areas
- On-site diagnosis and emergency repair
- Manual release and bypass if needed for access
- Temporary fix with follow-up repair scheduled if needed
