Preventative Maintenance
At least once a year, have a professional service your gate to:
Check your automatic gate opener for any visible signs of wear or damage to components such as cables, hinges, racks, chains, and belts every two months or so. Look for loose screws, nuts, or bolts and tighten them as needed. Address any visible issues promptly to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
Keep the gate opener and its surrounding area clean to prevent the accumulation of dirt, dust, leaves, and debris. Regularly remove any obstructions or foreign objects that may hinder the gate’s movement. Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the gate opener’s exterior surfaces, control panel, and any exposed wiring. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage components.
Proper lubrication is essential for the smooth operation of your gate opener, especially in cold winters. Opt for a lubricant capable of enduring the lowest local temperatures and apply it to moving parts such as shafts, hinges, rollers, chains and gears at least every six months. Be cautious not to over lubricate, as excessive lubrication can attract dirt and lead to clogs.
Check the electrical connections of your gate opener every three months to ensure that they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose or corroded connections can lead to electrical failures and malfunctions. If you notice any loose or damaged wires, tighten or replace them as necessary. It’s also good practice to periodically inspect the control board and other electrical components for signs of overheating or damage.
If you have a solar powered gate opener, make sure the battery is in good condition. Regularly check for battery leakage, access casing integrity, and promptly replace the battery if necessary. Monitor the battery voltage through the solar controller or control board. If frequent undervoltage issues occur, troubleshoot immediately to prevent battery damage. It is advisable to replace batteries every 2-3 years and ensure proper recycling of old batteries. A well-maintained battery ensures the reliable operation of your gate opener, even during power outages.
Automatic gate openers are always equipped with various safety features to prevent accidents. Monthly check these features, including stop-reverse function, photocell sensors, and any other safety mechanisms. Verify that they are working correctly by conducting a test with a solid object (not a person or pet) in the gate’s path.
