Linear gate installation in Henderson typically runs $950 to $3,400 depending on the gate type, operator model, and whether we’re working with an existing frame or starting from the posts up. We’re an independent Linear service provider, not an authorized dealer, which means we match the right Linear operator to the gate you actually have instead of selling you whatever is on the truck. Most installations are scheduled within 3 to 7 business days. If you’re in Henderson and need a Linear gate installed, repaired, or replaced, call (775) 307-6571 and you’ll get a real person, not a voicemail.
This page is for Henderson homeowners who already own a Linear operator or gate hardware, or who are considering a Linear system and want to know what’s involved. It covers common failure points, what installation actually costs in this market, and how our process works from the first phone call to the final walk-through.
How Linear Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Linear LDO series swing operators – failed limit switches. The LDO50 and LDO75 are among the most common operators we see on Henderson swing gates. The limit switch tells the motor where to stop. When it fails, the gate either doesn’t close fully or slams against the post. We replace the limit switch assembly rather than the whole operator, which usually saves the homeowner $600 or more compared to a full swap.
- Linear APeX series – blown motor capacitors. On a hot Henderson afternoon, a tired capacitor in an APeX slide operator gives up. The symptom is a gate that hums but won’t move. Some companies will tell you the motor is dead. Most of the time it’s a $30 capacitor. We test before we quote, and we only replace what’s actually failed.
- Linear VS-GSLG slide gate – worn drive chain or belt tension. If the gate shudders or makes a grinding noise while moving, the chain or belt has likely stretched past spec. Left alone, it wears out the drive sprocket. We re-tension or replace the drive component and check sprocket alignment so the new part doesn’t fail the same way in six months.
- Linear MDR/MDRG photo eyes – misalignment from shifting concrete. Henderson ground moves. Even in newer subdivisions, concrete expands and contracts enough to knock a photo eye out of alignment. The gate reverses for no clear reason, or refuses to close at all. We remount and align the eyes, then verify the full safety circuit before we leave.
- Older Linear AE-100 and AE-2000 boards – dead relays from power surges. Monsoon-season lightning storms are rough on older Linear control boards. A surge takes out the relay and the gate stops responding to the remote. We source replacement boards or rebuild the relay depending on the board revision, and we’ll recommend a surge arrestor if the panel doesn’t have one.

Our Linear Gate Installation Process
- 1
The call. You describe what’s happening. Lonnie Burke or one of our techs asks a few questions: what model operator you have, what the gate does when you press the button, whether it worked fine before. “Tell me what it’s doing wrong, and I’ll tell you what it needs – usually those are two different things.”
- 2
On-site diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives within the scheduled window. We test the operator, the gate travel, the safety edges, the photo eyes, and the power supply. You get a written diagnosis and a written price before any work starts. The number doesn’t move at the door.
- 3
Parts decision. We lay out the options: OEM Linear parts, quality aftermarket equivalents, or a full operator replacement if the existing unit isn’t worth saving. We explain the trade-off in plain terms so you decide with real information, not a sales pitch.
- 4
The installation. We install the operator or gate hardware, set limits, adjust force settings, and run the full safety check. On swing gates we verify the arm geometry. On slide gates we check track alignment and wheel condition. The site is clean when we’re done, because that’s part of the job.
- 5
Testing and walk-through. We run the gate through multiple full cycles with you watching. We show you how the remote works, how the manual release works, and what normal operation sounds like.
- 6
The guarantee. Every installation and repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. If the repair fails within the guarantee window, the second visit is free. No charge, no argument.

AfterWhat Linear Gate Installation Costs in Henderson
| Job Type | Typical Range in Henderson |
|---|---|
| Linear swing operator install (existing gate, single leaf) | $950 – $1,600 |
| Linear slide operator install (existing gate, chain or belt drive) | $1,400 – $2,300 |
| New double swing gate with Linear operators, both leaves | $2,200 – $3,400 |
| Control board replacement (Linear AE-100/AE-2000 class) | $280 – $550 |
| Photo eye or safety edge replacement | $180 – $320 |
What moves the price is gate weight and length, whether we’re reusing existing posts or setting new ones, and whether the panel has room for the right voltage feed. A gate that’s been there since the neighborhood went in usually costs less to retrofit than a new run from the panel. Every Henderson job gets a written quote before work begins. Estimates are free. Call (775) 307-6571 and we’ll schedule a time to look at your gate.
Why Henderson Homeowners Call Carver Gate Repair Henderson for Linear Work
We work on Linear equipment every week, which means we know which LDO and APeX models are still worth repairing and which ones have hit their service life. But the bigger reason Henderson homeowners stay with us is how we run the job. Written prices before work starts. Technicians who are background-checked and in uniform. A phone line answered by a live person 24/7, including weekends and holidays. And a written guarantee on every repair, good for a full year, under The Garrison Standard. If your gate uses LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, or DoorKing instead, we service those too – the point is we fix gates, not just one brand of gate.
Lonnie Burke grew up in the San Gabriel Valley rebuilding fence hardware in the summers, trained in welding and metal fabrication at Cerritos College, and spent years doing gate work across Southern California before bringing that experience to Henderson. He’s known around the trade for diagnosing opener problems without replacing parts that don’t need replacing. That’s a habit that saves Henderson homeowners real money, and it’s the standard every Carver Gate Repair Henderson technician works to.
FAQs
Most Linear gate installations in Henderson are completed in one day, usually 3 to 6 hours on site. New gate fabrication, setting posts in concrete, or trenching for a power run will add a day or two. We’ll give you a clear timeline in the written quote before any work starts.
If your Linear operator is under 8 years old and the failure is a limit switch, capacitor, photo eye, or relay, repair is usually the right call and costs a fraction of a new unit. If the motor itself is burned out or the board is discontinued, replacement starts making more sense. We’ll tell you honestly which route we’d take on our own gate and why, then you decide.
Both, and we’ll tell you which we’re quoting and why. For safety components like photo eyes and safety edges, we recommend OEM Linear parts. For wear items like chains, belts, and capacitors, a quality aftermarket part is often just as good and costs less. The written quote always shows exactly what’s going on your gate.
A gate stuck open is a security issue, not a convenience issue. If your Linear gate won’t close and you’re in Henderson, call (775) 307-6571. We answer live and can often dispatch same day for urgent failures. Safety first: never try to force a gate closed or disable the operator by hand – a moving gate under spring or chain tension can cause serious injury. Let a trained technician handle it.
The guarantee is in writing on every repair and installation. If the work we did fails within one year from the date of service, we come back and fix it at no charge. No prorated parts, no service call fee, no argument. That’s the standard, not an upsell.
