How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• TSS1XP / TDS2XP heavy-duty swing operators - stripped worm gear in the reduction box. These units push a lot of weight on Alpharetta’s longer driveway gates, especially after rain when the hinges stiffen. The bronze worm gear strips teeth rather than burning out the motor, which is actually the design protecting the electronics. We open the gearbox, photograph the wear pattern, and replace with either the Ghost Controls OEM worm gear or a matched aftermarket unit depending on your warranty status. The fix takes about 90 minutes on-site.
• DEP1 / DEP2 deluxe estate series - control board failure after power events. Alpharetta sits in a high-lightning-corridor county, and the DEP boards are sensitive to voltage spikes that don’t quite trip the breaker but scramble the microcontroller. We test the board with a bench power supply, check whether the surge protection fuse blew clean or took the processor with it, and replace or rebuild. If the board is out of warranty, we source remanufactured units that carry our own 365-day coverage.
• AXWK premium wireless keypad - sync drift and range collapse. The AXWK pairs on a rolling-code frequency that can drift if the keypad battery drops below 7.2 volts or if a new Wi-Fi mesh node went in nearby. We reprogram the keypad to the receiver, test range at the street, and document the new sync code on your paperwork so the next tech doesn’t have to guess.
• GC series basic swing operators - arm bracket fatigue at the gate post. The GCs use a lighter cast bracket than the estate series, and Alpharetta’s clay-heavy soil shifts with seasonal moisture. The bracket works loose, the gate drops a quarter-inch, and the operator starts binding at the open limit. We pull the arm, check the post plumb with a digital level, reinstall with a reinforced bracket or weld the original if the metal’s still sound, and reset the limit switches to the new geometry.
• ABBT battery backup systems - sulfated cells after summer heat cycles. Alpharetta’s July-August heat sits in the high 90s for weeks, and the ABBT’s sealed lead-acid batteries cook if the vent box faces west. We load-test the battery, replace with an AGM equivalent if the cells are sulfated, and relocate the box or add a sun shield when the installation allows. The battery test printout goes in your file.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Repair Process

1. 1
   Call intake. A live person answers, asks for your model number (it’s on the operator cover), and notes the symptom. We do not put you in a queue.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis. The technician arrives with your name and photo already texted to you. We test the operator, the safety edges, the photo eyes, and the physical gate hardware before touching a tool. Everything found is photographed.
3. 3
   Written scope and price. You get a flat price for the repair, a parts list with OEM or aftermarket options, and a timeline. No work starts until you sign.
4. 4
   Repair and documentation. We make the fix, run the full cycle count per Ghost Controls’s spec, and photograph the settings: limit switch degrees, force readings, battery voltage. Under Clause 4, this record is yours before we leave.
5. 5
   Final test and sign-off. You operate the gate yourself. We explain what was done, what to watch for, and how to reach us. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers everything.
