Repair for Different Gate Types


Different gate systems require specialized maintenance approaches to ensure optimal performance. All our work is performed according to International Door Association standards.


Swing Gate 


Swing gates require attention to hinges and motor arms, which bear significant stress during operation. We perform routine hinge adjustments using precision alignment tools accurate to 1/10th of a millimeter. We use synthetic, temperature-stable lubricants rated for 10,000+ cycles between applications.


Our technicians have certifications from Apollo, FAAC, and Elite manufacturer training programs. We inspect motor arms using ultrasonic stress detection equipment to identify potential failure points before they cause damage.


Safety sensor alignment is crucial for swing gates. We calibrate these systems using digital laser alignment tools with real-time monitoring to ensure UL325-compliant safety performance.


Common Swing Gate Services:


  • Hinge lubrication using marine-grade waterproof compounds
  • Motor arm inspection with computerized stress analysis
  • Safety sensor calibration with certified documentation
  • Complete motor replacement with upgraded surge protection
  • Weather seal inspection with infrared moisture detection


Sliding Gate


Sliding gates depend on properly maintained tracks and wheels. We use specialized cleaning compounds and mechanical track cleaners to remove debris without damaging gate components. Our technicians replace worn gate wheels with sealed, ceramic-bearing alternatives that carry lifetime warranties.


Track maintenance includes precision alignment verification using laser measurement tools. Our track repair process uses cold-welding compounds that create bonds stronger than the original metal.


Motor troubleshooting involves comprehensive diagnostic testing using manufacturer-specific digital analyzers. We maintain relationships with all major sliding gate motor manufacturers, allowing us to source even discontinued parts with expedited delivery options.


Sliding Gate Maintenance Checklist:


  • Track cleaning with anti-corrosion treatment application
  • Wheel inspection using load-bearing analysis equipment
  • Chain tension adjustment to factory-certified specifications
  • Motor diagnostic testing with computerized performance analysis
  • Limit switch calibration with position verification systems


Specialized Services 


Iron gates require regular inspection for rust and corrosion. We apply industrial-grade protective coatings with 10-year warranties against rust breakthrough and perform spot repairs using metallurgically matched materials.


For aluminum gates, we check for structural integrity using non-destructive testing methods. Our technicians can replace damaged aluminum panels with exact alloy matches while maintaining structural integrity and appearance.


We service ornamental gates using techniques developed by restoration specialists. Our repair methods preserve aesthetic details while reinforcing structural integrity using interior support systems that remain invisible from the exterior.


Material-Specific Maintenance:


  • Iron gate rust prevention treatments with nanotechnology sealants
  • Aluminum panel replacement with exact alloy matching
  • Decorative element reinforcement using architectural-grade fasteners
  • Weather-resistant coating application with UV stabilizers
  • Hardware upgrades using marine-grade 316 stainless steel components
