Security Gate & Perimeter Planned Maintenance
Electric automated gates and access control systems are outdoors in most cases, which means they’re constantly exposed to the elements. Whether it’s water or ice damage in the colder months or operators overheating in the warmer months, a routine gate maintenance plan is key to ensuring your automated gate systems remain operating safely and efficiently. In addition to weather, we know automated gate systems are a prime target for criminal activity. Whether it’s vandalism or blatant attempts to break in, we’ve seen it all and we know what to look for.
Our planned gate maintenance program (PMP) sends qualified gate professionals to evaluate your gate systems on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly basis depending on your setup. Tailored plans are also available for automated gate systems that require more or less maintenance than a standard setup.
Comprehensive Electric Gate Maintenance
When one of our certified Automated Gate Services technicians arrive at your facility for a planned automated gate maintenance call, they perform a deep assessment of your automated gate system and follow a full maintenance checklist to make sure nothing is missed. This includes lubricating the different gate components, testing the electrical systems and emergency functionality, and synchronizing and modulating the automation systems. Once that’s complete, a detailed report is shared for you to review. Depending on the results of the assessment, if there are any catastrophic failures or repairs that require immediate attention, those recommendations are made on-site with the goal of getting fixes as soon as possible.
Our technicians keep their service trucks fully stocked with the most common gate components, so in most cases gate systems can be repaired the same day. Our planned gate maintenance program maintains a safe application, reduces downtime and improves overall cost of ownership. Having peace of mind, in addition to the benefits listed below, that your gate is functioning safely and efficiently is well worth the small investment of a planned maintenance program:
- Promotes overall morale of your team
- Increases the expected life of your automated gate equipment
- Prevents unnecessary repairs due to early detection
- Minimizes the need for multiple service calls

Prevent Breakdowns Before They Happen
Baked into your service agreement, our preventative gate maintenance programs cater to the unique needs of your automated gate setup. We follow a comprehensive checklist specific to your type of gate system so our expert technicians can quickly identify any issues and fix them before they become costly repairs or complete replacements. We offer monthly plans for heavy operation, quarterly plans for regular operation, semi-annual plans for mild operation, and annual plans for light operation. Our maintenance checklist includes:
- Checking the main gate and track: we assess the operator motors and belts and clear the track of any debris and dirt
- Oil and grease gate components: we ensure the drive chains are lubricated, rollers are greased, and hinges aren’t getting stuck
- Electrical and safety devices: we test the back-up power supply, Knox boxes, maglocks, loops, and other emergency systems
- Access control systems: Biometrics, RFID technology, vehicle detection systems, keypads and intercoms
