How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• AXS Series gearbox seizure on estate gates. The early AXS2 and AXS3 swing operators used a nylon intermediate gear that breaks down after six or seven North Texas summers. The gate will hum but won’t move, or moves in jerks. We replace the gear with the current metal-reinforced part and re-lube the housing, which keeps the rest of the operator serviceable.
• RPB24 / RPB24A control board failure from lightning and surge events. Keller sits in a high-lightning corridor, and Ghost Controls boards without a surge suppressor on the incoming low-voltage line are the first thing to fry. We see dead keypad response and a blank status LED. The fix is a new board plus a proper surge protector we install inline, which Ghost Controls doesn’t ship from the factory.
• TSS1 / TDS1 slide rail chain stretch causing limit errors. On slide gates, the chain links wear against the drive sprocket, and the operator starts stopping six inches short or overrunning the stop and throwing a limit fault. We retension or replace the chain and reset the limit cams, which restores a clean full-open and full-close every cycle.
• Battery backup systems that won’t hold when you actually need them. Ghost Controls offers a 12V battery backup kit, but the batteries fail quietly, and the first time anyone notices is when the power drops and the gate won’t move. We pull the battery, load-test it, and swap in a fresh sealed unit when needed. We also check the charger output, because a weak charger kills new batteries within a year.
• Photo-eye and safety-edge misalignment after storms or ground shifts. The Keller clay soil expands and contracts through wet-dry cycles, and gate posts shift a half-inch without anyone noticing. The operator thinks something is in the way and refuses to close. We re-align the eyes, re-level the edge sensors, and adjust the reverse sensitivity so the gate stops reading ghosts.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Motor & Opener Process

1. 1
   Call and describe the symptom. As Victor puts it, “Tell me what it is doing and what it is not doing - that is usually all I need to get started.” We’ll have a good idea which Ghost Controls part we’re chasing before the truck moves.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. We check power at the board, function of the remote and keypad, the operator’s gearbox or chain, and the safety sensors in that order. We quote the repair price before any work begins.
3. 3
   Parts decision. On Ghost Controls jobs, we use OEM boards and gear assemblies where the factory is still supplying them. On consumables like batteries, chains, and standoffs, we’ll use a quality aftermarket equivalent when it’s as good or better, and we’ll tell you which we are installing and why.
4. 4
   The repair. Most Ghost Controls gate motor & opener work in Keller is done same-visit because the failure points are known and the parts fit in a service bin.
5. 5
   Cycle test and safety check. We run the gate through open, pause, close, and obstruction-reverse at least a dozen times. We set the force where it should be, not where a lazy tech leaves it.
6. 6
   Walkthrough and the promise. We show you exactly what was changed, hand you a written 90-Day Done Right Promise, and settle the bill at the quoted number. No add-ons, no surprise line items.

What Ghost Controls Gate Motor & Opener Costs in Keller

Straight numbers. A diagnostic visit is $95, and that’s credited toward the repair if you proceed. Replacing a failed control board on an AXS or DTP series operator typically runs $240 to $310 with the board, surge protection, and labor. Gearbox rebuilds on swing arms land between $185 and $260. A full operator swap, motor and board together, ranges from $480 to $650 depending on which Ghost Controls model and arm length you have. Slide chains and limit rework run $160 to $220. The price moves based on access to the operator, whether the post needs any adjustment, and whether we’re also adding surge protection or a battery replacement. Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, in writing. Call (254) 330-8718 and we’ll give you an exact number for your model.
