Reliable operation and extended equipment life are direct benefits of having a regular service and maintenance program for your automatic gates. Regular cleaning, adjustment and lubrication ensures less wear on the components, so your system works trouble free and lasts longer.
Because most gate automation systems are exposed to the harsh Australian elements, they are prone to fail from time to time. We have had to repair gates for many different reasons but, a lot of the time the breakdowns could have been avoided by regular servicing. Things like debris build-up, corrosion, insect infestation (more common than you might imagine) and lack of basic maintenance all conspire to create gate operation failure.
We offer service contracts customised for your specific equipment and operating parameters to help you get the best value from your investment. Just like your vehicle that you drive daily, gate products require regular servicing to ensure all mechanical and electrical parts are working efficiently. This ensures that your systems remain in good working order for many years to come.
Service schedules can be annual, biannual, or quarterly depending on usage. We recommend that residential driveway gates should be serviced annually, medium usage gates for apartment blocks should be serviced at least twice a year and heavy usage commercial gate systems require servicing 3-4 times each year. Service contracts may include comprehensive repairs as well as pre-planned and preventative maintenance to ensure the performance and longevity of your gate automation system as well as compliance to Health and Safety requirements.
Many clients opt for our Maintenance and Service Program (MSP) along with the purchase of new gate automation hardware to get the benefit of a 48-month warranty for the motor and controller. MSP prices start from only $300+GST per annum which includes:
- Regular preventative maintenance service calls
- Priority service/repair callouts
- Double the usual gate hardware warranty to 48 months
- 25% off our price for any ad-hoc service calls
Our MSP program is designed to ensure your automated gates will give you many years of uninterrupted and reliable service. After every service, you receive a comprehensive report to give you a clear picture of how your product is holding up. If further works are necessary, we will provide a quote detailing these works and only move forward after gaining consent. We look after boom gates, swing gates and sliding gates. If you require further information or clarification, we will be only too happy to help.

WHY BUDGET FOR GATE MAINTENANCE?
In our experience, gate automation systems will usually last between four and ten years before needing replacement. Those that are maintained properly will last two times longer than those that aren’t. It’s not just replacement costs you have to worry about though. The cost of business interruption when access systems don’t work properly also needs to be factored in. To give you peace of mind, our preventative maintenance program ensures your gate automation system performs and lasts as long as possible. Think about it like your motor car. Without regular servicing, it’s only a matter of time before any machinery will fail.

We aren’t restricted to using proprietary hardware to ensure we can give you the flexibility you deserve when repairing or upgrading your gate automation systems.
