Prevention Is Better Than a Cure
At Brisbane Automatic Gate Systems, we believe that prevention is always better than repair. To protect your investment and keep your system running safely and efficiently, we offer Preventative Maintenance Agreements (PMAs). Regular servicing extends the life of your operator, reduces downtime, and ensures your system remains safe and efficient.
Our PMA program ensures the operational safety, reliability, and longevity of your automated gate system — helping to prevent unexpected breakdowns and maintain compliance with Australian safety standards.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Automated gates are complex systems that combine mechanical, electrical, and safety components. Regular professional maintenance ensures these parts work together seamlessly, minimising wear and reducing costly repairs.
By choosing a Commercial Gate PMA, you’ll receive:
- Exceptional Value – Save 20% on all replacement parts when required.
- Priority Service – PMA clients receive priority scheduling for emergency call-outs.
- Extended Product Life – Regular servicing keeps your system operating at peak performance for longer.
- Peace of Mind – Scheduled inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and cleaning keep your gate in top condition and prevent future faults.
- Safety Assurance – Maintenance checks confirm that safety systems like sensors, photocells, and manual releases are working correctly.
- Certified Technicians – Our trained and qualified experts perform every service to the highest professional standard.
We’ve invested heavily in technician training, service vehicles, and diagnostic equipment to ensure fast, efficient, and reliable service for every client.
Recommended Service Frequency
Gate servicing frequency depends on how often your system operates and the surrounding environment.
As a general guideline:
- Residential gates – every 12 months
- Commercial & unit complex gates – every 6 months
- High-traffic or harsh environments (industrial, coastal, or dusty sites) – every 3–6 months
Regular servicing ensures safety, reliability, and compliance with warranty terms.
If you’re unsure how often your gate should be serviced, our team can provide tailored recommendations based on your gate type, usage, and location.

Between Professional Services
While professional maintenance should be carried out by our qualified technicians, there are small steps you can take between visits to help keep your system in good condition:
- Keep the area clean: Remove dirt, leaves, and overgrown plants around your gate and motor.
- Check wiring: Visually inspect cables and connections for signs of damage or wear.
- Test sensors and safety stops: Ensure your gate correctly detects obstacles and stops on impact.
- Monitor performance: If you notice slow movement, unusual noise, or jerky operation, contact us promptly.
Always refer to your manufacturer’s guide for basic upkeep instructions — and never attempt complex electrical or mechanical repairs yourself.
Safety Features to Maintain
A safe automated gate system should always have:
- Photoelectric sensors to detect obstacles
- Safety edges to prevent crushing hazards
- Manual release in case of power failure
- Emergency stop switch for quick shutdown
- Visual and audible alerts for operation or fault conditions
- Secure access codes or rolling code technology for restricted entry
Routine maintenance ensures each of these systems continues to function correctly and keeps your property, vehicles, and personnel safe.
