Keep your gate out of trouble.
Most major gate repairs start as small, preventable issues. Here's what we recommend to every gate owner.
Watch and listen monthly
Cycle the gate and pay attention. New noises, hesitation, or a change in speed are the earliest warnings you'll get.
Keep photo eyes clean and aligned
Wipe lenses and clear webs, leaves, and dirt every few weeks. Blocked eyes are the #1 cause of "gate won't close" calls.
Clear the track and gate path
Leaves, mulch, ice, and debris in a slide gate track strain the motor every single cycle. Keep the path clear year-round.
Test safety devices quarterly
With the gate closing, block the photo eye — the gate should stop and reverse immediately. If it doesn't, stop using the gate and call us.
Mind the battery backup
Backup batteries fade in Georgia heat. If your gate dies with the power, the battery likely needed replacing a year ago.
Get professional service annually
A yearly Gate Health Check covers lubrication, force settings, safety testing, and wear inspection — the stuff that prevents 2 AM stuck-gate calls.
