This page is for Pearland homeowners who already own a Ghost Controls system and need the steel and structure around the motor fixed, not the motor itself. If your gate arm is sagging, your post is pulling loose from the concrete, or your rail has a crack running through it, you’re in the right place. Call (346) 253-3225 and a live person answers, day or night, no voicemail loop.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Ghost Controls builds the automation side well. The mechanical connection points are where Pearland weather does its work. Here’s what we actually find on Ghost Controls gates in this part of Texas:

• Hinge weld fatigue on the HDP1 and AXDP series swing arms. The stock gate hinges carry the gate’s weight, but the actuator’s pivot bracket takes a constant twisting load every cycle. In the clay-heavy soils around Pearland, gates settle a quarter-inch a year, and that misalignment loads the hinge welds at an angle they weren’t designed for. We don’t just re-weld the crack. We shim the gate to level, weld the hinge with the gate under proper load, and photograph the finished bead before we grind it smooth.
• Post lean in expansive soil, especially after a wet spring. Pearland sits on gumbo clay that swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. A concrete footer poured without rebar or set shallow will start to lean within three to five years. We remove the old post, set a new one in a deeper footer with reinforcing steel, and weld a new hinge plate to match the existing Ghost Controls bracket pattern. No drilling new holes in the gate frame unless it’s truly necessary.
• Cracked slide rail at the splice plate on slide gate systems (SLD series). Ghost Controls rail sections are joined with splice plates, and in Pearland the heat cycle between a 100-degree afternoon and a 70-degree night causes metal to expand and contract enough that the splice bolts work loose. Once they’re loose, the rail flexes at the joint, and the metal eventually cracks. The fix is welding the cracked section solid, re-drilling the splice for clean hardware, and adding a gusset plate so the joint carries weight instead of flexing.
• Roller and bearing wear from fine silt, not just age. Pearland gets dust that’s finer than what you see in most of the region, and it works into the sealed bearings on Ghost Controls gate rollers. The symptom is a gate that starts moving smoothly then drags halfway through the run. We replace the worn rollers with sealed units rated for the gate’s weight class, and we adjust the end-stop travel so the gate never bottoms out against the frame and bends the roller bracket over time.
• Latch misalignment that bends the catch bracket (AXDP and HDP1 swing gates). When a gate settles even slightly, the Ghost Controls latch bolt doesn’t line up with the catch, and the actuator shoves it in anyway. Over months, the catch bracket bends and eventually tears at the weld. We realign the gate to the latch, not the other way around. If the catch bracket needs repair, we weld it back square and add a small backing plate so it holds true.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

Every Ghost Controls gate parts and welding job in Pearland follows the same documented sequence. You’ll see each step happen in front of you, and you’ll have a written record when we leave.

1. 1
   Diagnosis at the gate. We inspect the hinge points, post anchors, rail joints, and roller track. We measure the gate’s level and plumb, and we photograph what we find before anything is touched.
2. 2
   Parts decision with you. We present two options where both exist: OEM Ghost Controls parts or quality aftermarket equivalents. We tell you the honest difference in material, lead time, and price, and we let you decide. We don’t push aftermarket to pad the margin or OEM to inflate the bill.
3. 3
   Written price before work starts. The flat price is written on paper, handed to you, and agreed before any tool comes out. That’s Haven Standard Clause 1, and we’ve done it that way since 2014.
4. 4
   Welding or mechanical repair. We cut out the failed section, prep the metal properly, weld with the correct process for the material, and clean the welds. If it’s a mechanical fix like rollers or hinges, we install and adjust to spec.
5. 5
   Cycle test and load test. We run the gate through a minimum of ten full open-close cycles. We check the gate’s level again after the weld cools. We check the Ghost Controls travel limits and force settings haven’t shifted.
6. 6
   Documented record and guarantee. You get a photo log of what we found, what we installed, and the part numbers used. The work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the repair isn’t right within a year, we come back and make it right. No fee. No argument.
