Automatic Gate Maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps your automatic gate operating smoothly and extends its lifespan. Our professional approach to gate maintenance focuses on three key areas to ensure reliable performance and prevent costly repairs.
Routine Inspection Steps
We begin every maintenance visit with a thorough inspection of your automatic gate system. Our technicians check the gate alignment and track for any obstructions or damage that might affect operation.
We test all safety features including photo eyes, pressure sensors, and auto-reverse mechanisms to ensure they function properly. These safety components are critical for preventing accidents and injuries.
The control board and electrical connections are carefully examined for loose wires, corrosion, or signs of water damage. We verify that all remote controls and keypads are working correctly.
We also inspect structural elements like hinges, rollers, and mounting hardware for wear or loosening. Early detection of these issues can prevent gate failure and more expensive repairs down the road.
Lubrication and Cleaning
Proper lubrication is essential for smooth gate operation and reducing wear on moving parts. We apply high-quality lubricants to hinges, chains, rollers, and other moving components based on manufacturer recommendations.
We clean tracks and guides to remove debris, dirt, and other obstructions that can cause resistance or damage. Special attention is paid to cleaning photo eye sensors, which can malfunction when dirty.
Motor housings and control boxes are cleaned to prevent dust buildup and ensure proper ventilation. This helps extend the life of electronic components and prevents overheating issues.
For gates in coastal areas of Irvine, we use corrosion-resistant lubricants to combat salt air damage. Different gate types require specific care, and our team is trained in maintenance for all major brands of gates.
Preventive Maintenance Programs
We offer customized maintenance programs tailored to your specific gate system and usage patterns. Our basic package includes quarterly visits to handle essential maintenance tasks before problems develop.
Premium plans include priority service response and discounts on parts when repairs are needed. This can save you money while keeping your gate in optimal condition.
Our maintenance programs include:
- Scheduled inspections at regular intervals
- Documentation of service history and recommended repairs
- Battery replacement for backup systems
- Software updates for modern gate controllers
- Seasonal adjustments for changing weather conditions
Professional maintenance helps identify potential issues before they cause gate failure. We recommend maintenance at least twice yearly for residential gates and quarterly for commercial applications with higher usage.
Our preventive approach helps avoid emergency repairs and extends your gate's operational life by years. Most gate problems show warning signs that our technicians can spot during routine maintenance visits.
