What is included
A villa gate lives outdoors in heat, fine sand and, near the coast, salt air. Sand packs into tracks and racks, control boards overheat and wheels and hinges seize. Our technicians find the failed part, make the gate safe to use and put the repair in a written quotation. Where a new gate or a change to its appearance may need community approval, that is identified at the site visit.

How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
Sliding and swing gates compared
| Point | Sliding gate | Swing gate |
|---|---|---|
| Space needed | A clear run along the wall, as long as the gate is wide | A clear arc for each leaf to open through |
| What wears first | Wheels, the track and the rack the motor drives | Hinges, arm brackets and the motor arms |
| Effect of sand | Builds up in the track and can stop the gate | Little effect on travel, more on hinges and underground motors |
| Effect of wind | Small, because the gate is guided top and bottom | Solid leaves catch the wind and load the motors |
| Routine care | Track cleared, wheels and rack checked, limits reset | Hinges greased, brackets tightened, travel and stops set |

We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides automatic gate & door repair in Dubai?
The MELLS provides automatic gate & door repair in Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does automatic gate & door repair take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for most repairs, with new automation quoted per project, typically 1 to 3 days. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can you repair any make of gate motor?
We work on the common sliding, swing and garage door operators fitted to Dubai villas. If a control board or part is no longer available for an older unit, we explain the choice between a compatible part and a new operator.
Does a new gate or motor need community approval?
It may. A new gate, a different design or visible equipment can fall under community or master developer rules. We identify this at the site visit and prepare the paperwork they ask for.
How often should an automatic gate be serviced?
In Dubai conditions a check every three to six months is sensible, with the track or hinges cleaned more often after sandy weather. Regular visits catch worn wheels and loose brackets before they damage the motor.
How soon can you attend a stuck gate in Dubai?
A gate stuck open, or one that has trapped a car in the driveway, counts as urgent work, so it gets a two hour response in Dubai between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. The first aim is to secure the property, then to repair the gate properly.
My gate will not open. How do I get the car out?
Automated gates have a manual release, usually a keyed lever on the motor. Turn the power off, release the motor and move the gate by hand. If it will not move freely, stop and call us, because the fault is mechanical.
How do I choose a company for automatic gate & door repair in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
