Why gates need servicing
Automated gates are heavy moving machinery used every day in all weathers. Regular servicing keeps them reliable and, more importantly, makes sure the safety devices still stop the gate if something is in the way.

What we check
Each visit covers hinges, rollers and tracks, motors and arms, the control board, limit settings, batteries, photocells and safety edges, warning lights and access devices. We measure closing forces and record the results.
Repairs and fault-finding
Gate not closing, opening on its own, stopping halfway or ignoring the remote? We diagnose and repair most makes, from replacing a photocell to a new motor or control board.
Making older gates safer
Many older gates were installed without enough safety devices. We assess them and can add safety edges, photocells and force limits to bring them up to current standards.
Taking over an existing gate
We can usually service gates installed by other companies. Tell us the motor make if you know it, or send us a photo.
Common questions
How often should my gate be serviced?
Typically every six months, or more often on busy commercial sites.
Can you repair a gate someone else installed?
Usually, yes. Send us a photo of the motors and control box and we will advise.
My gate won't close. Can you help?
Yes. A blocked or misaligned photocell is a common cause, but it can also be the motor, limits or control board. We will find and fix it.
Can you make my old gate safer?
Yes. We can add safety edges and photocells and set force limits to bring older gates up to current standards.
