Automatic Gate Maintenance
Ensure the longevity and reliability of your security system with our professional Automatic Gate Maintenance services. A motorized gate is a complex piece of machinery exposed to the elements 24/7, requiring regular care to prevent costly breakdowns. Our comprehensive maintenance programs are designed to identify minor wear before it leads to a total system failure, keeping your entry point operating smoothly and safely year-round.
Preventative Care for Peak Performance
Our expert technicians provide meticulous inspections that cover every mechanical and electronic component of your gate system. From lubricating heavy-duty hinges to testing the sensitivity of safety obstructions, we ensure your gate meets the highest industry standards for performance. Regular servicing not only extends the life of your expensive LiftMaster or Viking operator but also maintains your manufacturer’s warranty coverage.
Why Schedule Regular Maintenance?
- Prevent Costly Repairs: Identifying a worn belt or failing capacitor early can save you thousands in emergency motor replacements.
- Extend System Lifespan: Properly lubricated and balanced gates put significantly less strain on the motor and internal gears.
- Enhanced Safety: Regular testing of photo-eyes and auto-reverse sensors ensures your gate remains safe for children, pets, and vehicles.
- Weather Protection: We apply specialized coatings to electrical connections to prevent the corrosion and oxidation common in humid climates.
- Consistent Reliability: Avoid the frustration of a gate that gets stuck or malfunctions during a storm or late at night.
Comprehensive Multi-Point Inspection
- Mechanical Lubrication: We apply high-grade synthetic grease to all hinges, rollers, chains, and pivot points to eliminate friction.
- Hardware Tightening: Our team inspects and secures every bolt, nut, and mounting bracket that may have loosened due to vibration.
- Chain & Belt Adjustment: We check for proper tension to prevent slipping and ensure the motor delivers power efficiently to the gate.
- Safety Sensor Calibration: Rigorous testing of UL 325 Safety Standards to ensure all entrapment protection devices are active.
- Battery Health Check: Testing the voltage and load capacity of your backup battery to ensure it’s ready for a power outage.
Electrical and Electronic Diagnostics
- Control Board Cleaning: We remove dust, debris, and insects from the internal housing to prevent short circuits on the motherboard.
- Wiring Integrity Check: Inspecting all exposed and internal wiring for signs of fraying, weather damage, or rodent interference.
- Remote & Keypad Sync: Testing the range and responsiveness of all wireless entry devices and updating access codes if requested.
- Limit Switch Calibration: Re-setting the open and close positions to ensure the gate doesn’t “slam” or leave gaps in the perimeter.
- Surge Protection Audit: Verifying that your system is properly shielded against lightning strikes and local power fluctuations.
Tailored Maintenance Plans
- Residential Service Agreements: Bi-annual visits designed to keep private driveway gates quiet and dependable for your family.
- High-Traffic Commercial Plans: Quarterly inspections for gated communities, apartment complexes, and industrial sites with frequent use.
- Post-Storm Inspections: Specialized checks following major weather events to clear debris and check for wind-load damage.
- Detailed Service Logs: We provide a digital report of every adjustment made, creating a clear history of your system’s health.
- Priority Emergency Access: Maintenance subscribers receive “front-of-the-line” status for any unscheduled repair calls.
