Types of Gates We Service
Swing Gates
Swing gates operate like traditional doors, pivoting on hinges to open inward or outward. We service both single and dual swing gate systems that are common in residential driveways and commercial properties. Our repair services for swing gates include fixing alignment issues, replacing worn hinges, and repairing gate operators. We also handle problems with safety sensors, remote controls, and access control systems.
Sliding Gates
Sliding gates move horizontally along a track, making them ideal for properties with limited space. These gates slide parallel to your fence or wall rather than swinging open. We service cantilever sliding gates that have no ground track and are suspended from cantilever rollers. These sophisticated systems require careful balancing and specialized repair techniques. V-track sliding gates with wheels that run in V-shaped tracks need regular maintenance to prevent debris buildup. Our maintenance programs keep these gates running smoothly.
Barrier Gates
Barrier gates (also called barrier arms) are used in parking lots, toll booths, and controlled access points. These gates feature a straight arm that raises and lowers to control vehicle traffic. Our repair services address common barrier gate issues like broken arms, motor failures, and control board problems. We also calibrate safety devices that prevent the arm from closing on vehicles. Barrier gates require precise balance adjustments and spring tension settings. Our technicians are trained to make these adjustments correctly to ensure smooth operation and long lifespan of the equipment.
Vertical Lift Gates
Vertical lift gates move straight up instead of swinging or sliding. They're perfect for locations with space limitations where traditional gates won't work. These specialized gates require expert knowledge of their lifting mechanisms. We ensure all safety features work properly to prevent accidents. For industrial settings, we service heavy-duty vertical lift gates that can withstand frequent use and harsh conditions. Our team can repair custom-sized vertical lift gates for unique applications. We also maintain vertical pivot gates that combine lifting and pivoting movements for situations where standard gates won't fit.
Safety and Security Measures
Compliance With Safety Standards
Our automatic gate installations meet all current industry safety standards. We install photo eye sensors that detect objects or people in the gate's path and immediately stop operation to prevent accidents.
Pressure sensors are another critical safety feature we include. These sensors detect resistance when closing, causing the gate to reverse if an obstacle is encountered.
Regular maintenance checks are essential for safety. We offer comprehensive service plans that include testing safety features every 3-6 months to ensure proper functioning.
Security Features Integration
We enhance your property's security through advanced gate access control systems. Keypad entry systems allow you to create unique access codes for family members or service providers, which can be easily changed when needed.
Our technicians integrate your gate system with existing home security for a unified approach. This might include connecting to surveillance cameras or alarm systems.
We understand the balance between convenience and security. That's why we customize each installation to meet your needs while maintaining robust protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that my automatic gate needs to be repaired?
Several warning signs indicate your gate needs attention. Strange noises like grinding or squeaking often signal mechanical issues with the motor or hinges.
Slow operation or delays in response to controls suggest electrical problems or motor strain. Gates that stop midway or reverse unexpectedly typically have sensor issues.
Physical damage such as bent tracks, damaged hinges, or visible wear on chains and belts require immediate repair. If your gate requires multiple attempts to open or close, this points to control board or remote problems.
Are there any maintenance tips to avoid frequent automatic gate repairs?
Regular cleaning of tracks and hinges prevents debris buildup that causes jams. Apply lubricant to moving parts every 3-4 months using a silicone-based product.
Check and tighten bolts and screws quarterly as vibration can loosen connections. Test safety features monthly by placing an object in the gate's path to ensure sensors work properly.
Keep the area around your gate clear of vegetation that might interfere with operation. Schedule professional maintenance once a year to catch potential issues early.
What should I do if my automatic gate stops working outside of normal business hours?
Call our emergency service line immediately. We maintain 24/7 emergency response capabilities for urgent situations.
Keep the gate in manual operation mode if possible to secure your property. You can usually find the manual release mechanism near the motor housing.
Document any unusual behavior or noises your gate made before failing. This information helps us diagnose the problem more quickly when we arrive.
