Common Commercial Gate Repair Issues
1. Structural Damage & Impact Repairs
Commercial gates often suffer damage due to vehicle collisions, weather conditions, or daily wear and tear. When a gate is bent or misaligned, it can cause mechanical failures and compromise security.
Signs Your Commercial Gate Needs Structural Repairs:
- Bent or misaligned frame affecting gate movement.
- Damaged hinges or support posts.
- Rust or corrosion weakening metal components.
We provide on-site welding repairs and structural reinforcements to restore your gate’s integrity without needing full replacement whenever possible.
2. Automatic Gate Opener & Motor Failures
A malfunctioning gate opener or motor can prevent your gate from opening or closing properly, leading to security concerns and traffic delays at your facility.
Common Gate Opener Problems:
- Motor struggles to move heavy commercial gates.
- Intermittent or unresponsive remote controls/keypads.
- Clicking or grinding noises from the motor.
- Gate opens partially but stops midway.
We troubleshoot and repair gate opener malfunctions, ensuring that your automatic gate operates smoothly and efficiently.
3. Safety Sensor & Access Control Issues
Commercial gates must comply with safety regulations and be equipped with working sensors, exit loops, and keypads. If these systems fail, they can create security vulnerabilities and access issues.
Common Sensor & Access Control Problems:
- Faulty safety loops preventing the gate from closing.
- Misaligned or broken photo eye sensors.
- Keypad or intercom system not recognizing access codes.
- Security system integration issues.
We repair gate sensors, keypads, and access control systems to ensure seamless operation and compliance with safety standards.
4. Gate Track & Alignment Problems (For Sliding Gates)
Sliding gates operate on tracks or cantilever systems, and any obstruction or misalignment can cause jerky movement, grinding noises, or complete failure.
Common Track & Alignment Issues:
- Gate gets stuck or moves unevenly.
- Debris buildup causing obstructions.
- Damaged or bent tracks preventing smooth operation.
Our team provides track realignment, debris clearing, and roller replacements to keep your commercial gate functioning flawlessly.
