Automated Gate Preventative Maintenance
Keep your gate running smoothly – and avoid costly surprises.
When your automatic gate stops working, it’s never at a convenient time. Our Preventative Maintenance Program helps stop problems before they start — reducing emergency repair calls, breakdowns, and the frustration that comes with being stuck inside (or out).

Prevent unexpected gate failure
Ensure smooth motor and sensor operation
Catch issues before they become costly

How Often Should You Schedule Service?
Most homeowners choose a once-a-year maintenance visit, which works great for residential gates.
But if your gate opens multiple times a day (think apartment buildings, gated communities, commercial driveways), we recommend:
- Quarterly or Bi-Monthly Service for moderate daily use
- Monthly Service for high-traffic or security-critical properties
Whether your system is brand-new or a seasoned workhorse, regular tune-ups help you avoid breakdowns and extend the life of your investment.
Preventative Maintenance Works for:
- Newer systems — avoid early wear and performance issues
- Older gates — stay ahead of age-related failures
- Heavy-use properties — prevent damage from constant operation
Your Gate’s Value-Protecting Toolbox Includes:
- Routine lubrication, tuning & hardware tightening
- Battery backup inspections & optional upgrades
- Compliance & safety setting adjustments
- Entry system cleaning & reliability checks
- Service visit documentation & technician notes
- Priority support and member savings
