Our technicians test electrical connections, measure operating speeds, and verify that all safety features respond correctly to potential obstructions.


Each inspection includes documentation of system performance with recommendations for any adjustments or parts that may need attention soon. Through systematic evaluation, we identify wear patterns and potential failure points that could cause unexpected breakdowns or safety concerns.

Motor and Automation Maintenance

Your gate motor requires regular lubrication, belt adjustments, and electrical connection checks to maintain smooth operation and prevent premature wear. We clean motor housings, inspect brushes and gears, and test automation programming to ensure consistent opening and closing cycles.


Our maintenance includes calibrating limit switches, adjusting force settings, and verifying that remote controls and access devices function properly. Professional motor care extends equipment life while maintaining the convenience and security you rely on daily.

Safety System Testing and Calibration

Photo-eye sensors, pressure edges, and auto-reverse mechanisms need regular testing to protect people and property from gate-related accidents. We verify that safety devices trigger immediately when detecting obstructions and adjust sensitivity settings for optimal performance in various weather conditions.


Each safety component receives thorough cleaning and alignment checks to ensure reliable operation throughout the year. Proper safety system maintenance keeps your property compliant with local codes while preventing liability issues.

Our Scheduled Preventive Maintenance Process

 Initial System Assessment and Documentation

Every maintenance program begins with comprehensive system evaluation that establishes baseline performance measurements and identifies any existing issues requiring attention.


We document gate specifications, operating parameters, and safety settings while creating detailed service records for future reference.


This assessment includes testing all functions, measuring cycle times, and photographing system components for comparison during subsequent visits. 

Scheduled Service Visits and Inspections

Our technicians arrive at predetermined intervals with all necessary tools and replacement parts to complete thorough system maintenance efficiently.


Each visit includes systematic inspection of all components, performance testing, lubrication, adjustments, and safety system verification following manufacturer specifications.


We provide detailed service reports after every visit that document work performed, parts replaced, and recommendations for future attention. 

 Parts Replacement and System Updates

When maintenance reveals worn components, we install high-quality replacement parts that meet or exceed original specifications for reliable operation.


Our inventory includes motors, sensors, control boards, and hardware for all major gate manufacturers, ensuring quick resolution without extended downtime.


We also recommend system upgrades when newer technology can improve performance, security, or energy efficiency for your specific application. 

Maintenance Applications for Different Gate Types

Sliding Gate Maintenance Programs


Sliding gates need regular track cleaning, roller inspection, and motor alignment checks to prevent binding and ensure smooth operation. Our maintenance includes lubricating guide rollers, adjusting catch mechanisms, and testing safety loops that protect vehicles and pedestrians.


Swing Gate Maintenance Services


Swing gates require hinge lubrication, arm adjustment, and foundation inspection to prevent sagging and maintain proper clearances. We check underground wiring, test operator programming, and ensure safety edges function correctly during opening and closing cycles.


Commercial Barrier Arm Care


High-traffic barrier arms need frequent maintenance, including counterbalance adjustments, photo-eye alignment, and control system calibration for reliable operation. Our service includes testing loop detectors, replacing wear items, and updating software for optimal traffic flow management.

FAQs on  Scheduled Preventive Maintenance

  • How often should I schedule preventive maintenance for my electric gate?

    Most residential gates need annual maintenance, while commercial systems with heavy usage require quarterly or bi-annual service visits. Our technicians recommend maintenance frequency based on your gate type, usage patterns, and environmental conditions.


  • What does a typical maintenance visit include?

    Each visit includes complete system inspection, lubrication of moving parts, safety system testing, motor performance checks, and detailed reporting of findings. We also perform minor adjustments and replace small wear items as needed during regular service calls.


  • Can preventive maintenance prevent all gate problems?

    Regular maintenance prevents most common issues including motor failure, sensor problems, and hardware wear, but cannot eliminate all possibilities of damage from accidents or severe weather. However, maintained systems typically experience 80% fewer unexpected breakdowns than neglected equipment.


  • Do you provide emergency service for maintenance customers?

    Yes, maintenance customers receive priority scheduling for repairs and 24/7 emergency support when urgent issues arise. Our familiarity with your system enables faster diagnosis and resolution of problems.


  • What happens if you find problems during a maintenance visit?

    We immediately address minor issues during regular service and provide detailed estimates for any major repairs or part replacements needed. Our goal is to resolve problems before they cause system failure or safety concerns.
