Like any mechanical system, automatic gates need regular attention to continue working safely and reliably. Without proper servicing, even the best gate system can wear out prematurely or stop working entirely.
Here’s why servicing matters and what to expect during a typical maintenance visit.
Prevent Sudden Failures
Servicing helps spot problems before they lead to costly breakdowns. Common preventable issues include:
- Worn drive belts
- Rusted hinges
- Unresponsive motors
- Dead backup batteries
Early intervention can save time and money.
Maintain Safety
Automatic gates operate under high tension and electrical control. Without regular checks, they can pose a risk to:
- Children
- Pets
- Vehicles
- Visitors
A technician ensures that safety sensors, emergency stops, and manual overrides are working correctly.

Comply with Manufacturer Warranties
Most gate systems come with warranties that require annual or biannual servicing. Failure to maintain the system can void your coverage.
Improve Gate Longevity
Well-maintained automatic gates can last 15–20 years. Without regular lubrication, alignment, and cleaning, performance declines rapidly.
