Call (520) 666-6834

This page is for Mesa homeowners running a Ghost Controls TSS1, TDS2, or any of the Architectural or Premium series who need the gate frame, hinges, or rollers fixed rather than the motor replaced. If your gate is sagging, dragging, or the weld at the post has cracked, call (520) 666-6834. A live person answers.

How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• TDS2 dual-swing posts pull at the weld - The TDS2 exerts more torque than a single-swing system, and in Mesa the daily expansion-contraction cycle from 110°F afternoons to 70°F nights fatigues the post-to-frame weld within 3-5 years. We cut out the cracked section, re-weld with 7018 rod for penetration, and add a gusset plate where the original design left the joint undersupported.
• Architectural Series hinge pins seize in desert dust - The sealed bearings in the Architectural Series hinges are rated for moderate climates; Mesa’s caliche dust and monsoon humidity push grease out and grind the pin. We replace with sealed, greasable hinges that have a zerk fitting for annual service, or upgrade to stainless on coastal-exposure properties near Mesa’s western edge.
• TSS1 single-swing gates sag when the bottom roller wears flat - The TSS1 relies on a V-groove or flat roller depending on the track, and the nylon wheel deforms under the gate’s cantilever load. We measure the existing axle diameter (usually 5/8″ or 3/4″) and match a UHMW or steel roller to the actual weight, not the catalog guess.
• Premium Series latch bolts misalign as the frame twists - Ghost Controls latches are precise when the gate is square; Mesa’s hard sun on one side of an aluminum frame creates differential expansion that throws off the strike plate by 1/4″ or more. We don’t just shim the latch - we check frame square with a diagonal tape, heat-straighten if needed, and then reset the hardware to the corrected position.
• Gate rail separation at the miter joint on welded-aluminum gates - The factory miter weld on lighter residential gates often lacks full penetration. When the rail starts to separate, we V-groove the joint, back-weld with 5356 aluminum rod, and grind flush so the gate doesn’t hang up on its own frame. We photograph the repair because it’s invisible once painted and we want the record clear.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Parts & Welding Process

1. 1
   Diagnose on site, not over the phone. We bring a magnetic base and dial indicator to check frame twist, and we test the motor’s current draw under load to confirm the mechanical fault isn’t masking an operator issue.
2. 2
   Quote in writing before touching tools. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price on paper. If we find something additional during disassembly, we stop and re-quote - no surprise invoice.
3. 3
   Source the right part, OEM or aftermarket. Ghost Controls OEM hinges and latches are available through their parts network with a 2-4 day lead time. For same-day completion, we stock compatible hardware from D&D Technologies and Nationwide Industries that matches the spec without voiding any remaining motor warranty.
4. 4
   Repair, weld, and adjust. We weld hot enough for penetration, cool slow enough to prevent cracking, and grind only where function requires it. Every weld gets a visual check; structural joints get a hammer test.
5. 5
   Cycle-test and document. We run the gate through 20 full cycles, check limit-switch position, and photograph the finished work - welds, hardware, clearances. You get the photo log; we file the backup. Under Clause 4, evidence on every job.
6. 6
   Activate the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we welded, replaced, or adjusted fails within a year, we return and make it right. No expiration within that window, no argument, no fee.
