Common issues affecting commercial gates over time

Proper maintenance is essential to ensure long-term gate performance and avoid unexpected breakdowns. Some of the most frequent issues we resolve include:

Mechanical Wear

Scratches, dents, and cracks from daily use can lead to rust and structural weakness if left unchecked. Early intervention prevents costly repairs.

Accidental or Malicious Damage  

Collisions, vandalism, or forced entry attempts can damage your gate’s operation. Our emergency gate repair service restores full functionality quickly and efficiently.

Weather-Related Issues

Cold weather, storms, or high winds can damage tracks, freeze mechanisms, or misalign gate structures. Regular maintenance and force testing help mitigate these risks.

Operator and Sensor Malfunctions 

Malfunctions in swing arms, sensors, or control systems affect gate safety and responsiveness. We provide expert automated gate troubleshooting and repairs.

Structural and Hardware Problems  

Worn hinges, damaged chains, and misaligned posts can cause gates to drag or jam. Our maintenance contracts include routine checks and timely replacements.

Investing in regular servicing every six months or quarterly helps prevent breakdowns, reduces the need for emergency callouts, and ensures reliable and compliant gate operation.
