Call (559) 785-2501

If your Ghost Controls opener is the one thing standing between your car and the street, we can help. We carry OEM Ghost Controls boards, arms, and sensors on the truck, and our techs have been fixing these units across Clovis long enough to know which failures show up on which streets. Ghost Controls sales & service is a core part of what we do, but repair is where we spend most of our days.

Why Clovis Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service

We stock the parts Clovis weather actually kills. Cody Beckman, our owner, got his start in a welding and fabrication program at Cerritos College, learning how metal behaves before he ever touched a gate motor. That background matters when a Ghost Controls bracket has hairline cracks from ten years of San Joaquin Valley heat cycling. We look at the metal, not just the motor.

Every visit starts with a written price before work begins. No exceptions. We put on shoe covers before stepping inside your home, lay drop cloths where we walk, and photograph the cleanup before we leave. That’s the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. routine on every single job, and it’s included, not optional. If a repair isn’t right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. No fine print.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Clovis

• Grinding TSS1 or TDS2 swing arms from dust intrusion. The protective boot on a Ghost Controls linear swing arm tears, then fine agricultural dust from the farmland ringing Clovis packs the ball screw. It starts as a grind, becomes a bind, and the motor eventually trips its thermal overload. We clean, re-lubricate, and replace the boot before the arm is ruined.
• Dead control boards after summer thunderstorms. East Clovis sits closer to open fields where lightning hits in July and August. Ungrounded low-voltage sensor wires carry that surge straight back to the RX2 board. We replace the board with OEM Ghost Controls parts and add a proper ground stake so it doesn’t happen again next storm.
• Cracked powder-coated brackets at the post clamp. Ghost Controls aluminum brackets expand and contract daily when Clovis temperatures swing from 55°F mornings to 105°F afternoons. After years of that cycle, the casting develops hairline cracks right at the clamp. We weld or replace the bracket, and we check the other post while we’re there.
• Short-range remotes. The small antenna wire on a Ghost Controls receiver corrodes at the connector, and Clovis’s dry, static-heavy air speeds that up. Your remote that used to work from the street now only works from ten feet away. Often it’s a five-minute connector fix, not a new opener.
• Seized HYDP hydraulic arms. On heavier ornamental gates like the wrought-iron ones throughout Harlan Ranch, a Ghost Controls hydraulic arm that loses its seal will seize in the heat. We diagnose whether the arm can be resealed or needs replacement, and we’ll show you the worn part before we recommend either.

Ghost Controls Service in Clovis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s something we see more in Clovis than just about anywhere else we work. The eastern neighborhoods like Harlan Ranch and Locan Avenue sit closer to open farmland and the lightning-prone summer monsoon track that pushes north through the valley in August. When a thunderstorm rolls through, lightning hits those open fields and travels through low-voltage landscape and gate sensor wiring that was rarely grounded when the builder installed it. That surge comes back into the operator and fries the mains transistor on the Ghost Controls control board. We carry spare TSS1 and TDS2 boards on the truck from June through September because we know east Clovis calls spike after every storm. We added ground rods to three systems in Harlan Ranch alone last summer. If your gate died right after an overnight storm, the board is the first thing we check.

Last August we got a call from a homeowner on Locan Avenue in Harlan Ranch whose Ghost Controls TDS2 double swing gate stopped responding after an overnight thunderstorm. Our tech found the low-voltage sensor wire for the safety loop had no ground stake, and a nearby lightning strike had sent a surge straight into the RX2 receiver board, frying the mains transistor. We replaced the board with an OEM Ghost Controls part, added a proper ground rod to the loop system, and the gate’s open and close times were back to factory spec in one visit.

Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Clovis

We work on the full Ghost Controls lineup: TSS1 single swing openers, TDS2 dual swing openers, HYDP hydraulic swing arms, and SLDS slide gate operators. When your unit is under five years old or still fully supported by the manufacturer, we use OEM Ghost Controls boards, arms, and sensors. Aftermarket logic boards often miss the brand’s torque-curve tuning, and that causes false obstruction faults. You don’t want that. For older, discontinued openers where proprietary parts have become expensive, we give you a straight repair-vs-replace quote, including Clovis Gate Installation options. If a full upgrade to a current model costs less over two years than patching the old one, we’ll tell you that too. Cody’s rule is simple: if we can show you what wore out and explain why, you can decide what makes sense.
