Hello, Graeme here again from Gatehouse Security! Today, we’re talking about Ahouse swing gate motors—a popular brand known for its stainless steel construction, durability, and strong performance. However, like all mechanical systems, they have a common weak point that owners should be aware of.
Common Issue with Ahouse Swing Gate Motors
One of the most frequent issues with Ahouse motors is gearbox failure. The motor inside the Ahouse gate Ram is small but powerful, with a torque-heavy gearbox. Over time, the gear inside can strip, causing the gate to stop working properly.
Signs Your Ahouse Motor Needs Repairs
✔ Gate stops moving intermittently – If you push it slightly and it starts working again, the internal gear may be worn.
✔ Motor struggles or doesn’t respond – This could indicate gearbox damage or excessive strain.
✔ Gate forced shut or misaligned – External force or improper gate installation can accelerate wear.
✔ Long-term wear & tear – If your Ahouse gate motor is over 10 years old, internal brass components may also need replacing.
How to Replace Your Ahouse Motor Yourself
Good news! You don’t need a professional technician to fix this issue—you can do it yourself with basic tools.
💡 We have genuine Ahouse replacement motors available for $179. These are not cheap copies, but high-quality Ahouse parts designed to restore your gate’s functionality.
DIY Repair Steps:
1️⃣ Remove the motor housing – Unscrew the four screws at the end.
2️⃣ Detach the old motor – Inside, you’ll find four more screws securing the motor.
3️⃣ Swap in the new Ahouse motor – There’s only one way to install it, so there’s no risk of doing it wrong!
4️⃣ Reconnect the motor cable – Thread the attached cable through the housing.
5️⃣ Reassemble & test – Your Ahouse swing gate should be good as new!
Other Common Repairs – Brass Attachments & O-Rings
Beyond motor failure, another issue is worn brass attachments on the threaded rod. These wear down after 10+ years of use, causing reduced efficiency.
🔧 We stock replacement brass fittings for just $15 per set, including springs.
💦 If you notice oil leaks or water seeping in, the O-rings may need replacing. We have brand-new O-rings available to ensure a proper seal.
