    I have FAAC electric gates that have been open for the past few days and won't close. Once Storm Desmond had dissipated took a closer look and think there may be an issue with the beams. One of the beams has a red light on the entire time and the other beam has no light. When I wave my hand past the beam it stays on and there is no sound from the control box.

    If the beams sound like they are not the problem there is also an override switch in the house that we use to keep the gates open when visitors are expected. This is in the correct position but perhaps could be broken and keeping the gates open?

    Anyone with thoughts on this? Is this the most appropriate location for the question or would somewhere like home security be better?

    It could be possible that your beams are not aligned anymore, you could try and see if moving them slightly will realign them. You will know when they are aligned as another red light should come on one of the beams if not the two of them.
