FAAC Gate Parts & Welding in Johns Creek: What to Know First
We provide independent FAAC gate parts and welding service in Johns Creek, with most hinge, post, and rail repairs completed in one visit and pricing written out before any work starts. Typical turnaround for stocked FAAC-compatible parts is same-day; custom welding or special-order components usually run 24-48 hours. We do not guess at costs over the phone - a technician inspects the gate, names the part, names the price, and waits for your go-ahead.
This page is for FAAC owners in Johns Creek who need physical gate repair: bent hinge arms on a 400 swing operator, cracked welds on a 770 slide gate rail, or a post that has shifted in the red clay after heavy rain. If your gate is down now, call (678) 394-1765. A live person answers.
How FAAC Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- 400 Series swing operators: The cast-aluminum hinge bracket on these Italian-built arms fatigues where it meets the jamb post, especially on heavier iron gates common along Nesbit Ferry Road. We see the bracket wall crack diagonally before the arm itself fails. Our fix: remove the arm, weld a reinforced steel gusset plate to the bracket, or replace with an OEM FAAC 400 bracket if the casting is too far gone. We photograph the crack before and after.
- 770 slide gate motors: The rail weld at the rear idler bracket shears from repeated impact - usually because the nylon rollers have flattened and the gate is now riding metal-on-metal. In Johns Creek’s humidity, those rollers degrade faster than the manufacturer rates them for. We replace the rollers with sealed-bearing equivalents, re-weld the bracket with 7018 rod for penetration, and set the rail height to spec so it does not happen again in eighteen months.
- 422 hydraulic operators: The gate leaf itself bends at the lower hinge pin when the hydraulic cushion decays and the gate slams its open stop. The 422 keeps pushing; the steel surrenders. We cut out the twisted pin section, fabricate a new hinge plate with gusseted corners, and weld it back with the gate leveled on jacks. We also flag the cushion adjustment so the operator does not destroy our weld.
- S800 pedestrian swing gates: The magnetic lock mounting tab welds crack from vibration - these tabs are often spot-welded at the factory and not fully penetrated. We grind off the old tab, prep the tube, and lay a continuous fillet weld with a backing strip. For S800 owners in Johns Creek, this is a thirty-minute fix that other companies often miss because they replace the entire lock assembly instead of the tab.
- 620 barrier arm operators: Not a gate, but we service them at community entries - the arm pivot housing cracks where it bolts to the foundation plate, usually from a vehicle impact that the owner did not report. We pull the housing, weld the crack or fabricate a replacement from 3/16″ plate, and re-drill the bolt pattern to match. The 620’s electronics are fine; the metal is what fails.
Our FAAC Gate Parts & Welding Process

- 1
Call and dispatch: You reach a live person at (678) 394-1765. We confirm the FAAC model if you know it - the label is usually on the motor housing - and send a background-checked, uniformed technician with your name and photo.
- 2
On-site inspection: The technician reads the gate, the operator, and the failure. We look for root cause, not symptom - a cracked weld often means a roller or limit switch let the gate over-travel.
- 3
Written scope and price: Before any tool touches metal, you get a flat, itemized price. OEM FAAC part or quality aftermarket - we name the source, the warranty, and the difference in cost. This is Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 4
Repair and welding: We cut, prep, weld, and grind. For custom fabrication, we match the existing gate profile and finish - raw steel, primed, or powder-coated to match. No guesswork on alloy: we test the base metal and rod-match.
- 5
Cycle test and documentation: The gate runs through twenty full cycles. Limit switches are read and recorded. You receive a photo log of the crack, the weld, and the adjusted settings - under Clause 4, every visit leaves evidence.
- 6
365-Day Done Right Promise: If the weld cracks, the roller fails, or the gate drifts, we return and make it right. No fee. No argument. The promise is on the written invoice you signed.

We also service LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing operators - so if your FAAC motor is fine but the gate hardware is shot, we do not steer you toward a full replacement to solve a hinge problem. We fix what is broken. Name what you found. Name what it costs. Name what you left behind.
FAQs
No. The operator warranty covers the motor and control board; gate structure, hinges, and posts are homeowner responsibility. As an independent FAAC service provider, we document our welds and parts so any future warranty claim on the operator itself is not complicated by our work. If you have a current FAAC extended warranty, we can review the terms with you before starting.
We stock FAAC-compatible rollers, hinge kits, limit switches, and hardware at our Johns Creek warehouse. Most repairs complete same-day. OEM FAAC parts from Italy - specific control boards, hydraulic seals, or proprietary arm castings - typically arrive in three to five business days. We will tell you which we have before we schedule.
Replace when the gate frame is rotted through, the rail is bent beyond straightening, or repair costs exceed 60% of a new gate installed. Repair when the failure is localized - a cracked weld, a single bad roller, a shifted post. We give you both numbers in writing so you decide. Our bias is toward repair when the metal is sound.
Yes. All welding and fabrication is covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a weld cracks, a bracket shifts, or a roller we installed fails within one year, we return and correct it at no charge. The promise is printed on your invoice.
We grind and prime all welds before we leave. For powder-coated gates - common on Johns Creek iron installations - we prep and prime to prevent rust, then arrange powder-coat touch-up through a local shop if you want full color match. We document the coating code when it is stamped on the frame.
