Why Maintenance Matters
Automated gates and barriers are mechanical systems exposed to weather, daily use, and wear. Without regular maintenance, minor issues turn into expensive breakdowns.
What a Maintenance Plan Covers
Mechanical Check
Hinges, rollers, tracks, and bearings are inspected and lubricated. Chains and belts checked for tension and wear.
Electrical Check
Control boards, wiring, and connections inspected for corrosion or damage. Motors tested for smooth operation.
Safety Device Verification
Every safety device — photocells, safety edges, force limiting — is tested to confirm correct activation.
Cleaning and Adjustment
Photocell lenses cleaned, limit switches adjusted, gate travel fine-tuned.
How Often?
Residential gates: annual minimum. Commercial gates/barriers: every 6 months, quarterly for busy sites.
Cost Comparison
Emergency call-out: £300-£800 plus parts. Motor replacement: £500-£1,500. Annual maintenance: £120-£250. The maths speaks for itself.
