In Australia, the weather is unpredictable at times, especially in summer. We have glorious sunny days and then get slammed with a late afternoon summer storm.
With such a vast array of weather conditions, it is critical to ensure you take care of your automated gate.
Gate servicing can make a big difference to the operation of the gate motor.
Why Get Regular Automated Gate Service?
Just like anything mechanical, we recommend a regular service and maintenance check to be performed annually on your automated gate.
Having a regular, scheduled preventative maintenance conducted on your automated gate will ensure the smooth operation of the motor.
Ensuring you keep your automated gate maintained will also help with its longevity and safety of the gate operator. The last thing you need is for a breakdown to occur when it’s needed most.
What Does a Gate System Service Include?
At Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems, we recommend a 12-monthly service on your automated gate. Our professional team of gate automation technicians will inspect the motor and check it’s clean and free of insect infestation, dirt, and more.
It is critical the motor of your automated gate is cleaned regularly. It can be quite costly to repair or replace your automated gate operator and motor if damaged. We’ll clean and lubricate the systems.
We’ll also test the gate and ensure it’s running smoothly, adjusting the parts where necessary, or replacing defective parts.
How Do I Service my own Automated Gate?
We recommend spraying around the gate operator with an outdoor pesticide every 3 months between services. Try to also keep the area around the automated gate operator clean of leaves and debris. Test the safety features like the gate’s sensors. Be cautious when checking mechanical or electrical parts – leave complex or potentially dangerous maintenance to the experts.
