Automatic Driveway Gate Repair & Cartell Wireless Exit Sensor Upgrade in Dawsonville, GA
Project Overview
🔹 Customer Problem
The customer reported inconsistent gate operation that made it difficult to rely on the automatic exit system. Because this property had experienced previous gate issues over the years, she contacted us again knowing we were already familiar with the system.
⚙️ Inspection & Diagnosis
We energized the gate system and performed a complete operational test before beginning diagnosis.
Inspection quickly revealed the gate operator itself was functioning correctly.
The fault was traced to the underground wiring serving the automatic exit sensor.
Heavy construction trucks delivering fill dirt had driven off the gravel driveway, damaging the buried sensor wiring.
Rather than recommending an expensive excavation and wiring replacement, we proposed a more reliable long-term solution.
🔧 Repair Process
The damaged wired exit sensor was removed.
A new premium Cartell wireless vehicle detection sensor was installed.
The upgraded sensor offers:
- No underground wiring
- Greater reliability
- Longer detection range
- Faster gate opening
- Reduced future maintenance
Because the wireless sensor can be installed farther from the gate, approaching vehicles now trigger the system sooner, allowing the gate to be fully open before reaching the entrance.
Multiple operational tests confirmed proper performance before leaving the property.
✅ Completed Result
The homeowner now has a more dependable automatic driveway gate system without vulnerable underground sensor wiring.
Before leaving, the customer also requested a proposal for upgrading the property with a SIMM cellular intercom system, allowing secure visitor access from virtually anywhere.
⭐ Customer Review

"We had a great experience getting our gate repaired. Sam responded quickly, had it fixed in no time and took the time to make sure everything was working properly before leaving."
