Deep Knowledge of California Gate Regulations
As of January 1, 2025, California’s AB-2149 requires regulated gates (those over 50 lbs, wider than 48 inches, or taller than 84 inches used in public or community settings) to meet UL 325 and ASTM F2200 standards. Our team ensures every installation and repair meets these requirements.

What Makes BD Garage Door & Supply Different
Most providers in an “automatic gate motor near me” search are based far from your property. We are built differently.

Strong Manufacturer Relationships
BD Garage Door & Supply works directly with leading gate opener manufacturers. This means access to genuine parts, manufacturer-backed warranties, and the latest gate motor technology — including brushless DC motors, solar-powered options, and smart home integration features.
California Code Compliance Expertise
We hold the knowledge and experience to navigate California’s D-28 contractor classification requirements, UL 325 safety listings, and the new AB-2149 inspection mandates. When a customer needs inspection documentation or certification for a regulated gate, we handle the entire process.
How Our Service Works
From site assessment to ongoing support, every automatic gate motor job follows a proven professional process.
Consultation and Assessment
We assess your gate’s dimensions, weight, material, hinge condition, power supply availability, and site-specific factors like slope or terrain. This determines the right motor type, torque rating, and duty cycle. You can start with a phone consultation or schedule an on-site visit.
Phone or on-siteProfessional Installation or Repair
Certified technicians handle electrical wiring, mounting the operator, programming remotes, configuring safety sensors, and installing battery backups. Standard residential installations typically finish in 4–6 hours; commercial systems get a clear timeline upfront.
Often same dayTesting & Demonstration
Every system undergoes obstacle detection verification, limit switch calibration, remote control range checks, and manual release operation. We walk you through emergency manual override procedures before we leave.
Before we leaveOngoing Support & Maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps automatic gate motors reliable. We offer scheduled service plans so your system runs smoothly for years — including safety device testing, battery checks, and firmware updates.
Scheduled plans availableTypes of Gate Motors We Service
Swing, slide, overhead, and barrier systems — residential and commercial — from all major manufacturers.
🚪 Swing Gate Operators
Swing gate operators open inward or outward from a wall or post, using mechanical arms or hydraulic pistons. Suited for properties with ample space. Many models can be powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for electrical wiring in some installations.
➡️ Slide Gate Motors
Using a rack and pinion system, slide gate motors pull or push gates horizontally along a track. There are at least 10 models available to match various gate weights and sizes. Heavy-duty steel slide gates are ideal for commercial sites where security and durability are priorities.
🚧 Overhead & Barrier Gate Systems
Barrier gate operators are used in industrial applications like airports, parking structures, and commercial facilities requiring high-cycle, heavy-duty operation.
🔋 Power Sources & Backup
Automatic gate motors typically run on low-voltage or standard AC power. Options include AC, DC with battery backup, and solar power. Battery backups ensure operation during outages; solar options reduce installation costs and suit Los Angeles sunshine.
