Maintenance Tips for Automatic Gates

Automatic gates, like any important piece of machinery, require regular servicing to stay in the best shape. It’s something many Sydney automatic gate owners overlook but a properly maintained gate will last longer, remain reliable throughout its life, and keep your property secure.

Don’t wait until it’s too late for your gate. Regular servicing should be carried out by a professional like Ezi Security, but there are things you can do to ensure your first line of defence stays strong.

Read on for our top tips on automatic gate maintenance.

Signs your Sydney automatic gate needs a service

Depending on the type of gate you have there are different components you should keep an eye on. Then there are a few DIY maintenance tips to keep your automatic gate in the best condition.

Motors

Listen for noise such as grinding, banging or squealing coming from your motor.

Circuitry

Remote or stop-close failures could be a sign of a loose wire in the ‘brains’ of your automatic gate.

Rails

Vehicle impacts can throw off the alignment of your Sydney automatic gate; get in touch right away if your gate is not running true.

Rollers

Check the rollers for damage and obstructions regularly, and proactively address rust spots.

Pests

When a pest invades the motor, they can chew through wires or cause electrical faults.

Remotes

If you lose or break a remote you may not be able to use your gate, and we will need to re-code a new remote.

General wear & tear

Keep your gate clean and the area around it free from leaf build-up, excess water and overgrown weeds for less fault risk.

Keeping your property secure is a tough job but our gates are tougher. Still, sometimes your automatic gate just needs a little TLC and you can’t figure out what the problem is.
