Types of Barrier Arm Gates Installed

Manual Barrier Arm Gates


Manual barrier arm gates are operated by hand. They are simple and cost-effective. These gates are good when you want basic control of vehicle entry without the need for electrical power or automation.



You or your staff physically raise and lower the arm to allow or stop traffic. This makes manual gates easy to install and maintain. They work best in places with low traffic volume or where electricity is limited.

Automatic Barrier Arm Gates


Automatic barrier arm gates use motors and control systems to operate. They open or close without needing anyone to be present. This type is ideal for busy parking lots, commercial sites, or any location where you want efficient and secure vehicle access.


These gates can connect to access cards, remote controls, or sensors. Automation helps reduce wait times and improves security by controlling who enters automatically.

Customizable Options


We offer barrier arm gates with options you can tailor to your exact needs. Choices include the arm length, color, lighting, and safety features like reflective strips or warning signals.

Keypad and Card Reader Integration

Our barrier arm gates can connect with keypads and card readers you already use or plan to install. This allows you to control who enters and exits without needing extra staff. You can assign unique codes or cards to different users.


We set it up so you can add or remove access quickly. The system logs each entry, helping you track gate use. The keypad and card reader devices we integrate are compatible with most security platforms, which means no major changes to your system.

Remote Control Capabilities

We provide options to control your barrier arm gate from a distance. Using remote controls or smartphone apps, you open or close the gate without physically being there. This adds convenience when managing deliveries or visitors.


Our setups make remote access secure. You can give temporary or permanent remote access to certain users. This flexibility helps you keep control while adjusting access based on changing needs.

FAQs on Barrier Arm Gates


In this section, we address common inquiries concerning chain and belt replacement for garage doors. Understanding these details can help us maintain the efficiency and safety of our garage door systems.

  • What is the typical cost range for installing an automatic barrier arm gate?

    Automatic gate chains or belts should typically be replaced every 3-5 years in Irvine, CA. However, gates with higher usage (over 20 cycles per day) may need replacement every 2-3 years. Environmental factors in Irvine, CA, particularly coastal properties exposed to salt air, can accelerate wear and require more frequent replacement—sometimes annually for severe cases. Regular maintenance inspections (recommended quarterly) can help identify wear before complete failure occurs, extending the operational life of these components.

  • Can Ace Automatic Gate Repair provide custom-designed barrier arm gates?

    Signs that your automatic gate chain or belt needs replacement include:


    • Visible wear, rust, or corrosion on chain links
    • Stretching or sagging of the chain or belt
    • Unusual noises during operation (grinding, squeaking, popping)
    • Gate movement hesitation or jerking motion
    • Frequent gate reversals or stopping mid-cycle
    • Visible cracks, fraying or glazing on belts
    • Chain skipping on sprockets
    • Increased motor strain (visible slowdown or humming)
    • Oil leakage or dark residue around the chain
    • Gate failing to open or close completely

    Early detection of these symptoms can prevent more expensive damage to motors and other gate components.


  • How long does the installation process take for an automatic barrier arm gate?

    Automatic gate chain or belt replacement in Irvine, CA typically costs between $250-$450 for standard residential gates. Commercial gate chain/belt replacement ranges from $350-$750 depending on gate size and drive system complexity. This price generally includes the replacement parts, labor, and basic system adjustment. Additional costs may apply if the sprockets, tensioners, or other components also need replacement. Many companies offer maintenance packages that include discounted chain/belt replacement, potentially saving 15-20% over emergency service calls. 

  • What maintenance services are offered after installation of a barrier arm gate?

    Professional chain or belt replacement for automatic gates typically takes 1-2 hours for standard residential systems. Commercial gates or complex installations may require 2-4 hours. The process includes removing the old chain/belt, inspecting related components (sprockets, tensioners, idlers), installing the new component, proper tensioning, lubrication (for chains), system testing, and final adjustments. Most experienced technicians can complete the service in a single visit, minimizing downtime for your property access.


  • What are the safety features included in the barrier arm gates installed by Ace Automatic Gate Repair?

    Our gates come with safety sensors to detect obstacles and prevent accidents. They also include manual release options for emergencies and comply with local safety standards.
