Installation Process

We guide you through every step to ensure your telescopic gate works smoothly and fits perfectly. From checking your site carefully to carrying out the installation with skilled precision, we handle all the details so you don’t have to worry.

  • 1. Initial Assessment and Consultation

    We start by visiting your property to assess the access points and terrain. This is vital to understand how the telescopic gate will fit and operate in your specific space. You’ll tell us about your needs, such as gate size, usage frequency, and security preferences. We also check electrical access and any obstacles that might affect the installation. Afterwards, we provide a clear plan and cost estimate. This helps you know exactly what to expect without surprises.

  • 2. Site Preparation and Measurement

    Before we install, we make sure the site is ready. This means clearing any debris or obstructions where the gate will slide.


    Accurate measurements come next. We measure the width, height, and depth of the gateway to ensure the gate sections align smoothly when opening and closing.


    We also verify the foundation’s strength to support the gate’s weight and motor. This step is essential for safety and durability.

  • 3. Professional Installation Steps

    Our technicians begin by assembling the telescopic gate sections on site. Then, we install the motor, sensors, and control systems according to your setup.


    We set up the gate tracks precisely to avoid any sticking or misalignment. Each section is checked for smooth movement along the track.


    After installation, we test the gate repeatedly. This ensures the automation works correctly, the safety features respond, and the gate opens and closes reliably every time.

  • 4. Design and Finish Selections

    You can pick from various materials like steel or aluminum for strength and durability. We offer different finishes such as powder coating, which protects the gate from rust and weather while letting you select the color that matches your property.


    Gate styles vary from solid panels to open designs, giving you privacy or visibility depending on your preference. You can also add decorative elements like ornamental spikes or patterns to match your property’s style.


    Our team helps you decide the right size and configuration to ensure the gate fits your entrance perfectly and moves smoothly without taking up too much space.

  • 5. Automation and Access Control Features

    We equip telescopic gates with advanced automation systems for convenience and security. Controls can include remote key fobs, keypad entry, or smartphone apps that let you open and close your gate from a distance.


    You can also integrate sensors that stop the gate if there is an obstacle, protecting vehicles and pedestrians. For higher security, we offer options like video intercoms and license plate readers.


    Our control systems are designed to be user-friendly and reliable, giving you secure access without sacrificing ease of use. We tailor each setup to what works best for your property and daily routine.

Maintenance and Aftercare Services

Proper upkeep keeps your telescopic gate working smoothly and safely. We focus on routine checks and quick fixes to avoid bigger problems.

Scheduled Maintenance Plans


We offer regular maintenance plans that include cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of all gate components. This helps prevent rust, wear, and mechanical failures before they happen.


Our technicians check the motor, tracks, rollers, and electrical systems during each visit. We also test the safety sensors to ensure your gate stops or reverses when needed. You can choose a plan based on how often you want these visits, from monthly to yearly.



Regular maintenance reduces repair costs and extends the gate’s life. It also keeps your gate operating quietly and efficiently, giving you peace of mind.

Troubleshooting Common Issues


If your gate isn’t opening or closing right, there are a few common problems we help you fix quickly. These include stuck rollers, misaligned tracks, or power supply interruptions.


Sometimes the motor overheats or the remote control batteries die. We guide you on simple fixes like cleaning tracks or resetting the control system. For bigger problems, like broken parts or wiring issues, we arrange a repair visit.



Knowing these issues helps you spot problems early and avoid safety risks. We support you with easy advice and prompt repairs when needed.

Overview of Telescopic Gate Installation

What Are Telescopic Gates?


Telescopic gates consist of connected panels that slide behind each other. They extend in segments to open and close. This design lets the gate cover wider openings without needing much side space.


They operate on tracks and rollers, motorized for easy use. Because of their compact sliding action, telescopic gates work well where space is tight or where a regular swing or sliding gate won’t fit. They provide secure, efficient entry control for both homes and businesses.

Benefits of Telescopic Gates


Telescopic gates save space, making them perfect for narrow driveways or areas with obstacles nearby. Their compact design means you don’t need a lot of clearance on the side, unlike traditional sliding gates.


These gates also offer strong security since they are heavy and hard to force open. They can be automated for convenience, letting you open and close your gate with a remote or keypad.



Maintenance tends to be lower because the sliding mechanism and motor parts are enclosed or protected by gate panels. This reduces damage from weather or debris. Overall, they combine space-saving design with good durability and security.

Types of Telescopic Gates Available


There are several types based on gate material and automation features. Common materials include steel and aluminum. Steel gates are sturdy and heavy-duty, ideal for high security. Aluminum gates offer a lighter but strong option that resists rust.


You can choose manual or automatic versions. Automatic telescopic gates come with motors and controls for easy remote operation. Some models have safety sensors to stop the gate if something blocks it.


Designs also vary by panel style—solid, mesh, or open frames—that affect privacy and visibility. We help you pick options to suit your security needs and property layout.

Gate Technology and Components

We focus on strong materials, reliable automation, and key safety features when installing telescopic gates. Every part works together to give you smooth operation, lasting durability, and secure access control

Automation Systems

Our telescopic gates use motorized systems that are built for smooth and quiet operation. These motors are usually hydraulic or electric and feature automatic sensors that detect gate position.


You can control the gate with remote controls, keypads, or smartphone apps. Some setups include integration with home security systems for added convenience. Automated controls allow you to open or close the gate without leaving your vehicle.



We also install durable tracks and weatherproof electrical components that work well in all seasons. This ensures your gate operates consistently without frequent repairs or downtime.

Safety and Security Features

Safety sensors prevent the gate from closing if something or someone is in the way. These infrared or pressure-sensitive devices reduce the risk of injury or damage.


We add secure locking mechanisms that engage automatically when the gate is closed. This helps stop unauthorized access and gives you peace of mind about your property.


Emergency release options allow manual operation during power outages or system failures. This ensures you can still access and secure your property no matter what situation arises.

FAQs on Telescopic Gates


We focus on timely installations, clear maintenance options, and custom sizing to fit your needs

  • What is the lead time for installing a telescopic gate by Ace Automatic Gate Repair?

    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.

  • Are there any specific maintenance plans offered for telescopic gates installed by Ace Automatic Gate Repair?

    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.


  • Can Ace Automatic Gate Repair provide custom dimensions for telescopic gate installations?

    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 warranty terms does Ace Automatic Gate Repair offer on their telescopic gate installations?

    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.
