Comprehensive Maintenance Services Offered

We focus on preventative care that addresses all components of your gate system to extend its lifespan and ensure reliable operation.

Safety Inspections

We examine all safety features including photo eye sensors, pressure sensitivity settings, and emergency release mechanisms to ensure they function correctly during operation. The inspection includes testing gate reversal systems that prevent accidents by detecting obstacles in the gate's path. This is crucial for both residential and commercial properties where vehicles and pedestrians regularly pass through.

We verify compliance with UL 325 safety standards, which govern automated gate systems. Our team checks warning signs and instructions to make sure they're visible and legible. Documentation of all safety findings provides you with a clear record of your gate's condition and any recommendations for improvements needed to maintain optimal safety performance.

Gate Mechanism Lubrication

Proper lubrication is essential for smooth gate operation and prevention of premature wear. We use high-quality, weather-resistant lubricants specifically designed for gate components to ensure lasting protection.

We clean tracks and rails before lubrication to remove debris that could cause damage or interfere with smooth operation. This step is particularly important for sliding gates where track obstructions can cause operational problems.

The frequency of lubrication depends on your gate's usage patterns and local climate conditions. Gates in harsh environments with extreme temperatures, high humidity, or salt exposure require more frequent lubrication service.

Hardware and Accessory Check

We inspect and tighten all nuts, bolts, screws, and fasteners throughout your gate system. Loose hardware is a common cause of gate malfunctions and can lead to more serious structural issues if not addressed promptly.

We also inspect gate panels for signs of damage, rust, or weakness that could compromise security. For decorative elements, we check for loose components that might affect appearance or function. Accessories such as battery backup systems receive thorough testing to ensure they'll perform during power outages.

Electrical System Assessment

Our comprehensive electrical system check evaluates all powered components of your gate system. We inspect control boards, wiring connections, and power sources for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.

We clean electrical enclosures to prevent moisture and pest intrusion that can damage sensitive electronics. Timer settings and operational parameters are verified to ensure your gate functions according to your specific needs.

Remote controls and wireless systems receive signal strength testing to identify potential interference issues before they cause operational problems. We'll also reprogram remote controls if needed.

Power surge protection systems are checked to ensure your gate's electronics remain protected during electrical storms or utility company power fluctuations.
