Rolling gate motor repair and replacement in NYC
Bee Locksmith repairs and replaces motors on rolling storefront gates, rolling steel doors and commercial overhead doors in New York City, Westchester and Long Island, 24/7. Our mobile technicians diagnose the operator, limits, brake and controls, get the gate moving, and replace the motor when a repair will not hold.

- Safety edges and photo eyes on motorized gates and doors
- Manual-to-motor conversions; see rolling gates
When the power is out
Most commercial operators have a manual release or a chain hoist so the gate or door can be opened by hand. We show your staff how it works when we install or service the motor, so a power cut does not keep the store closed.
Operators we install and service
Commercial door and gate operators from LiftMaster (including Logic 5.0 hoist operators), Overhead Door (including the RSX commercial operator) and Linear, plus the motors that came with Cookson, Cornell and Raynor rolling doors and grilles. We install and service them; we do not claim dealer status.
Who we work for
- Storefronts and retail chains: roll-down gates that have to open every morning and lock every night
- Restaurants and delis: front gates, side service doors and rolling counter shutters
- Pharmacies, banks and check cashers: grilles behind the glass and over service counters
- Property managers: ground-floor retail gates, garage and service doors across a portfolio, on one invoice format

Frequently asked questions
My gate motor hums but the gate won't move. Is the motor dead?
Not always. It can be the brake, the drive chain, a spring or the gate binding in the guides. We test the operator and the gate before recommending a new motor.
Can I open my motorized gate when the power is out?
Most commercial operators have a manual chain hoist or release. We show your staff how to use it safely.
Do you replace gate motors with a different brand?
Yes. Where the old motor is discontinued or not worth repairing, we fit a current operator sized to the gate.
Can you add a remote to our gate motor?
Usually yes. Many operators accept a radio receiver or can have one added, along with key switches and timer-to-close.
Do you work on overhead and loading dock door operators too?
Yes. See overhead and garage doors.
