Electric Gate Maintenance Packages

We offer three different tiers of service:

Automatic gate maintenance is essential in order to ensure the safety features are functioning correctly and to prevent in-service failures that could cause major disruption to day-to-day operations at the site where the electric gate is installed. How often you should service your gate will depend on how many cycles the gates perform. This is the number of times the electric gate opens and closes. Generally speaking, low usage residential electric driveway gates should be serviced at least once per year; medium usage automated car park gates for an apartment block should be serviced at least twice per year; and heavy usage commercial automatic gates require the most frequent amounts of servicing up to 4 times per year. We have two tiers of service.
