Having electric gates at your domestic or commercial premise can provide you with a heightened level of security as well as the ease of not having to get down from your vehicle every time you arrive. Electric gates can be manufactured to slide or swing open, the systems being simple yet effective in allowing you easy access to your premise. However, like with everything that has moving parts, your gates will need maintaining, electric gate maintenance experts ensuring that your gates are always in good working order.
Electric Gate Maintenance for Domestic Premises
If you have automated gates on your driveway, or an automatic garage door, there are some simple steps that you can follow to ensure your gates do not cease up or become damaged. These can include using lubricant when you hear any squeaks, and checking for rust and corrosion. As well as carrying out checks yourself, you should ensure you order a maintenance check from your gate experts on a periodic basis. As the gates in question are at your own home, they will not be used multiple times each day and wear and tear should be slow.
The same team who fitted your gates can provide the maintenance service you require, and it will often be included in the price of your after sales package. Taking advice from the experts is essential, and you should never delay in replacing parts that are damaged or corroded.
Electric Gate Maintenance for Commercial Premises
Gates at your commercial premise will open and close several dozen times each day. When there is constant traffic arriving and leaving your premise, your sliding gates will constantly be opening and closing. What this means is that more attention should be taken to the maintaining of your gates and keeping them suitably lubricated is of paramount importance. When gates get jammed or stuck halfway open it is generally due to poor maintenance, and this is something that can easily be avoided when you call in your gate experts on a regular basis.
An inspection of your gates from maintenance experts will not take up much of your time, and you will be advised on whether your openers are in good working order or not. Replacing your opener is not something that you should have to do very often, and with periodic maintenance the life of your automated gates will be lengthened.
Having automated gates is a godsend, both for your home as well as for your commercial premise. But this godsend can easily turn into a nightmare when your gates get stuck due to lack of maintenance. As well as being an annoyance and causing traffic congestion, gates that get stuck half open can also be potentially dangerous. This is never truer than with gates that open upwards such as domestic garage doors. With care and maintenance and with periodic visits from your gate experts, you can avoid these problems and ensure that the traffic arriving and leaving your premise always does so in a smooth and timely manner.
