Gate Motor Repair or New Gate Motor Installation?

This is one of the most important question to ask any repairs company!

Gate Motor Maintenance

Both the gate and the motor need to be maintained. When it comes to the gate, you must keep the gate rails and the wheels clean. Always remove any debris from that area. For examples, soil, leaves, stones, sand etc. You may find that you need to build a retaining wall or add special drainage so that soil is not washed to the gate area and also so that water does not collect around the motor. You need to make sure that the wheels are running smoothly all of the time otherwise the gate motor has to work harder and will not last as long. The main maintenance required for your gate motor is to make sure that no animals or insects get inside. No gate motor is completely sealed, so it is easy for them to get in and damage the electronics. In order to protect your motor you need to treat it with insect and, especially, ant repellents. Do not grease any part of the gate motor as dirt will stick to it and it will cause problems with the mechanics. Maintaining your gate and gate motor can increase the life of your gate motor and delay the need for a new gate motor installation.

Gate and Gate Motor Parts

We supply all gate automation equipment, electric gate parts and accessories. These include:

Gate wheels for sliding gate. There can be different wheels required depending on the track.
Anti-theft bracket. These are important in auto gate installations as this protects the gate motor from being stolen.
V-track for sliding gates. This must be installed correctly and must be maintained together with the wheels for smooth and long-lasting operation of your electric sliding gate.
Safety beams – infra-red safety beams. These must be included in any good automatic gate system. They prevent the car from closing on a gate or a person.
Electric gate locks and magnetic gate locks. These are used mainly on single swing gates for added security, however, they can also be used on double swing and sliding gates if desired.
Security Access keypads can be wired to your gate to control entering the premises.
