Comprehensive Maintenance Solutions We Offer
We provide a complete set of services to keep your electric gate working smoothly. Our work covers checking every part, cleaning and lubrication, fine-tuning components, and running full system checks.
Routine Inspections
We start with a detailed inspection to catch any issues early. This includes checking the gate’s structure, hinges, electrical wiring, and control systems. We look for signs of wear, rust, or damage that could cause problems later.
During inspections, we also test the safety features like sensors and emergency stops. Ensuring these parts work properly helps prevent accidents. This step helps us plan the exact fixes or maintenance your gate needs.
Lubrication and Cleaning
Lubricating moving parts is key to smooth gate operation. We apply the right grease or oil to hinges, rollers, and chains to reduce friction and prevent wear. This keeps the gate quiet and easy to move.
Cleaning is just as important. We remove dirt, dust, and debris that can build up around motors and sensors. Proper cleaning helps avoid breakdowns caused by blocked parts or overheating.
Component Adjustments
Over time, parts can get loose or misaligned. We adjust gates to fix issues with the motor, tracks, and locking systems. Proper alignment stops the gate from sticking or moving unevenly.
We also check remote controls and keypads to make sure they communicate well with the system. This ensures your gate opens and closes as expected without delays or errors.
System Diagnostics
We use tools to perform in-depth diagnostics on the gate’s electrical and mechanical systems. This helps identify hidden faults in the motor, circuit boards, or sensors.
Diagnostics allow us to detect problems before they cause failure. We analyze error codes and test performance to recommend precise repairs or replacements. This keeps your electric gate reliable and safe.
Our Repair and Replacement Services
We focus on fixing key parts of your electric gate to keep it working smoothly. This includes the motor, opener, sensors, and safety systems. Each component requires specific care to ensure safety and reliability.
Motor and Opener Repair
The motor and opener are the heart of your electric gate. If the motor stalls, makes unusual noises, or fails to open or close the gate fully, we inspect and repair it. Common issues include worn-out gears, electrical failures, or mechanical jams.
We check wiring, connections, and moving parts during repairs. Sometimes, lubrication or part replacement is necessary to restore proper function. Our goal is to minimize downtime and extend the life of your gate’s motor and opener.
Sensor and Safety System Replacements

Sensors and safety systems prevent accidents and protect your property. If sensors fail, gates may not detect obstacles or may close unexpectedly. We replace faulty photo eyes, motion detectors, and safety edges promptly.
We ensure all new parts are compatible with your gate’s model. Properly functioning sensors help avoid damage and injury, making their replacement critical for your security system’s reliability.
